Storage Cubes to the rescue

Storage cubes are one of those things that can hide messes, or organize items it really depends on how you use them.

For us it helps organize items like my review items, the kids toys, and other things like electronics. You can even organize paperwork inside of them.

We like how these storage cubes have handles on each side which we have never seen before and I have bought cubes like this in several stores over the years.

It is also nice to be able to buy 6 of the same color at one time so you don't have to wait for the store to get more of the color you want in stock just to find out that they discontinued that color.



The B&C Home Goods storage cubes can be found on Amazon.


What B&C Home Goods has to say about their product.

  • GET ORGANIZED WITH AN ATTRACTIVE SOLUTION - Getting organized is a top priority but you don't have to sacrifice style to do it. This attractive 6 pack of dark gray fabric storage bins are designed to fit into almost any storage cube unit and hold a generous amount of toys, craft supplies, linens, games and more. They conceal your clutter and mess without being an eyesore like other bins and storage solutions. Each cube measures 11 inches x 10.5 inches x 10.5 inches.

    DUAL REINFORCED HANDLES MAKE TRANSPORTATION EASY - Unlike every other storage basket out there, these bins have handles on BOTH sides making them easy to pick up and transport. Even kids can easily carry them! Each handle is reinforced and attached to the bin with extra-strength stitching so the bins can handle a heavy load.

    SAVE SPACE WITH COLLAPSIBLE DESIGN - If you ever find you don't need to use all six storage containers at once, simply remove the heavy-duty board bottom of the cube and fold the whole unit up. Each cube reduces to about half an inch in thickness and can be easily stored away until future use.

    DURABLE WIPE-CLEAN FABRIC - We get it - sometimes life is messy. Especially when it comes to kids and corralling clutter around the house. Made out of durable non-woven fabric, these storage bins with handles on both sides easily wipe clean with a damp rag so you don't have to worry about stains and smudge marks from dirty hands or normal wear.

Reach with Ease


Being elderly, disabled, short, or in pain can really make a difference on someones quality of being able to do things themselves.

This is where the rotating reacher comes in. You can get things down from up high or pick things up from down low.

You can use these to pick up debris in your yard, or to help get things that fell behind your dryer.

These grippers are easy to use. They do not have a locking function and you are going to try and pick up slippery items I suggest wrapping some rubber bands around the claws for more grip.

Having several health issues these grippers are a god send.

-Not designed for heavy lifting.

This grabber is perfect for:

Mermaid Bathing Suit




My daughter wanted a mermaid swimsuit without the hard tail in so I was able to find this one from Newland. They have quite a few designs to pick from. I chose this one due to the design looking so much like fish scales and the shell halter top is just too cute for words.

My daughter loves this swim suit she said she looks just like the little mermaid. This fits her well even though she is 8 with a little room to grow over the summer. Very well made, lifelike scales, and super cute. Great for any mermaid lover.

Cooking in the great outdoors



While camping you can cook in the great outdoors on a wood fire but some people prefer using a portable propane tank which can be used with the included attachment.

I was very surprised when opening this to find all of the extras that were included. Love the poached egg dish that was a pleasant extra.

This is a really nice kit to be able to cook with when you are camping. It won't cook for a big family but would be good for one or two people.

I would like to see a set like this for family size camp cooking in the future. This would make a great gift for your favorite camping lover.



This camping cooking set can be found on Amazon.

Home Lice Treatment


As a parent with 6 children I sailed through most of them without a lick of lice, but for some reason even though our girls only go to school and home I have had one had it several times this year.

Not a happy mom at all. The treatments are dangerous for the children, and the schools make it like a plague instead of it just being something that happens.

The worst thing is the price of everything to rid your house of the little critters if you don't catch them right away. We use natural methods when possible because I do not want to put my children or pets in harms way for something you really can't control.

This spray from Pest Shot is made in America, is natural, and safe to use around pets and children. You can use it on many surfaces. I would use this on products that can not be washed or bagged for at least 30 days like couches, mattresses, etc.

Lighten those Scars



Stretch marks and scars are apart of many people lives including mine. We don't have to let them keep us from doing what we want to do, but for those who would like to lesson the marks left behind there are products like those from Bonapiel.

Organizing is just a label away



When chalk labels and chalk markers first came out I didn't rush out to buy them because I wanted to see them in use by others before I put out money buying any.

Well now that I have seen and I have used them on many surfaces I am in love with them. I really love this set from Sacar Stationary because it has so many labels including large sheets that can be used as is or cut into any shape you wish.

Comfortable Mattress Protector at an Affordable Price


This product is available at an awesome price and is well worth the price you pay to protect your expensive mattresses.

I know we wish we had put one on ours years ago. A few little ones later, several moves, and lots of accidents, vomiting, and spills later we are ready for a new mattress and this time we are prepared to keep it protected as long as we can.

I have seen other mattress protectors that cost way more then this and don't do half of what this one will do. For a bargain price you can pick up one for each of your mattresses and protect those mattresses so they last longer.

I love the feel of the protector, not plastic but Terry which is much more comfortable and doesn't make that crinkly noise when you are sleeping like the plastic covers do. I am very happy with this and would suggest anyone looking to check this one out before settling on another.

The Mellanni Mattress Protector can be found on Amazon.

ZIPIT Talking Monstar

We try to make school as fun as possible and one way we do that is by letting our children pick a few fun items out to make their days just a bit brighter when they are at school. The ZIPIT Products not only do that for the kids, but as adults we love them too.

Awesome colors that scream play with me, and they all have their own attitude which makes them super cute. We have several of the ZIPIT products and I just ordered a few more for my daughter for next school year.

When you see something fun like this you have to jump on it quick before they sell out and I see these going quickly. I love that they have a warranty. How many school products do that? Maybe a handful.

These talking ZIPIT pouches are neat and easy to get going by downloading the app  which you can find on their site and on the product itself. The best part is you don't have to be a kid to enjoy these. Bring a little fun back into your day by grabbing some of these.

Who couldn't smile when they open their desk and pull out a pen from one of these pouches. I don't think many could, I know I certainly can't. I go so far to make up voices and whole attitudes based on their expressions. Don't forget the monster noises we can't forget those. Keep it fun and stay young at heart as long as you can.

The Zipit Monstar pencil pouches and other products can be found here.

Copper Bottomed Tea Kettle





We have had a few tea kettles over our lives but I have to say this is the best one we have had yet. I love how heavy this is due to the copper bottom.

I have seen others say they have a copper bottom and they really just have what looks like copper paint on the bottom. This is actually a copper plate on the bottom.

This tea kettle holds enough water for everyone to have hot cocoa, tea, or even for my husband to boil water for his French Press Coffee Maker.

I love the handle and I love yes love again the trigger for the water spout. This is perfect for our families needs and looks great in our kitchen as well. I think I would be hard pressed to find a better kettle.

The Chef's Secret Tea Kettle can be found on Amazon.
