Hard to Reach Areas

1 Comment 02 March 2009

We all have those areas in our house that are hard to reach. I don’t know about you, but in my house those hard to reach areas are hardly ever reached out to as a result. The last thing I want to do is drag a chair or step ladder around dusting my fans, ceiling corners, etc. Besides the up high areas there are also the down low and underneath areas that you can not get to without moving furniture.

Let me start by telling you how much easier it was for me to reach under my daughters crib. Now, I could not go all the way to the back, but I could get close. I wouldn’t really expect any vacuum to go all the way back. My previous vacuum just barely got the edge of the underneath.

What I couldn’t reach with the actual vacuum I was able to easily get with the attachment system. I no longer have to move the entire crib to vacuum under it.
Along with reaching under her crib, we’ve been able to vacuum under our dining room table, all the way under. It catches what the dogs didn’t and then their hair that they’ve left behind. We’ve been able vacuum under our armoire, and countless other areas that do not see much attention.
Now for the up high regions, like my poor fan.

The fan doesn’t see a lot of attention. I mean look at it! It has all of those divets that my husband thought looked so cool, well he doesn’t have to dust them! These pictures do no justice because I was trying to take them myself and couldn’t get me, the vacuum and the hose in the picture. The vacuum was sitting on the floor and the hose was reaching all the way to my ceiling fan without me having to stand on a chair. Amazing.

Stay tuned, there will be more to come!

My favorite things – Cricket Straightening Iron giveaway!

61 Comments 01 March 2009

CLOSED

I’m going to start posting one of my favorite things weekly. Sometimes it will have to do with children, sometimes myself, sometimes my husband! I just want to share all the different products I’ve come across along the way that I love! We’re going to kick off the first “My Favorite Things” with a giveaway. This will not always be the case ;)
My first favorite thing has to do with me. I love styling my hair, something that makes this easier is my straightening iron. I’m not giving away the same one I own, but I can tell you that I have used the Cricket, and love it. I own a CHI iron and love it. I’ve also used FHI irons and love them. We use all 3 in our salon.

I love my iron, because when I’m on the go, as long as my hair is dry I can iron just the top few sections and make it look smooth for a quick do. I can also use it for a night out and put more work into it when I have more time. Yes, the latter looks a little better, but I like that I can give my hair a quick fix as well. All of the irons I use are ceramic, to me this is a necessity to keep your hair in good condition.

Another necessity is a serum or a protective barrier of some sorts to seal your hair follicle. I will be including in the giveaway one of my favorite barriers, Mop Shaping Serum, the ultimate foundation product. I’ve found it works best when put in wet hair before blow drying or air drying. Always remember that a little big goes a long way.

For your chance to win a brand new Cricket Straight Crazy Ceramic Straightening Iron and your very own bottle of Mop Shaping Serum, just leave me a comment tell me how much you would love to own them, or visit one of the websites and tell me about something else you would like to try or have tried!

Hop into Spring at An Ordinary Life

2 Comments 01 March 2009

Kristin at An Ordinary Life is holding a contest for a FreeAgent Go. What an awesome opportunity! I don’t know about you, but I definitely could use one of these with the amount of pictures I take. I’m always afraid of our computer crashing and would love the reassurance a FreeAgent Go could bring me! For your chance visit An Ordinary Life!

What you have to do is submit a spring photo, and I’m submitting spring photos from last year. Why? Because spring has not sprung here in Northern MI, it’s 2 degrees here today! Thank you for the chance to win a FreeAgent Go Kristin!

I had a hard time choosing just one, because once I got looking I realized just how much I missed spring. I guess that’s not a good reason, but they just brought back a small taste of some nice weather for me!

Here’s Ryan, getting ready to throw some rocks into the lake that is no longer frozen! (which actually is very frozen right now…)

Daddy and Ryan throwing rocks into the lake.
It’s finally nice enough to go to the playground again!
You have to cut me a little slack here, I wanted to include Olivia, this was 4 days before she was born. Hence the reason I look like I swallowed a beach ball!
and of course, spring tulips! I cannot wait!
