One thing that we are not short on is vacuum cleaners. We have tried various types, from various companies, and have found things we liked and didn’t like about most of them. I’m always open to trying new machines, and when I was offered the chance to work with Eureka and try out the new… Read More Keeping ALL of Your Floors Clean with #EurekaPower
“Looming”… Is that a new verb now? It seems like it is with all the talk amongst the kids with these little plastic gadgets and hooks, and rubber bands… Oh the rubber bands!

This year, we got to attend something that I have been wanting to do for SO LONG! We went to the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC or 全米桜祭り Zenbei Sakura Matsuri!

I am always looking for the “healthier” option, if there is one, and I think I may have found one! Yonanas is a fun, easy appliance that turns… Read More My Kids Went Bananas for Yonanas!

Summer is almost here, and we are getting ourselves prepared for Hurricane season. As much as I really hate to think about the possibilities of a storm hitting us, I know that there’s always a chance, living in coastal North Carolina.
