Simple Human Stainless Steel Bag Holder

Progressive Collapsible Lettuce Keeper
I bought this Progressive lettuce keeper last year. It’s actually designed for all types of fresh produce, not just lettuce. I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise. I hate it when you have a large kitchen item or gadget that only works for one food. Anyway, I mostly use this …

Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo Cordless Rechargeable Sweeper, 2880A
I really wanted to love this sweeper, because I love my other Bissell Vacuums (I have the Bissell Feather-weight and the Bissell PowerGroom Pet Compact Bagless Vacuum Cleaner) but in truth I only ‘like’ this sweeper.
The only reason I had bought this is that my infant son would …

Cedar Dresser Drawer Dividers From Bed Bath and Beyond

Vax Power VX 2 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Electrolux Quick - Up Cordless Vacuum

Blackfire Clamplight Super Bright LED light
