Dyson DC23 TurbineHead Canister Vacuum
Delivering 220 airwatts of suction power, this canister vacuum cleaner features advanced Level 3 Root Cyclone technology to ensure thorough, efficient cleaning with no clogging or loss of suction. It also offers a TurbineHead brush bar that’s ideal for cleaning medium and short pile carpets and can be turned off for hard floors. Certified asthma and allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the unit expels air that contains up to 150 times less mold and bacteria than common breathing air thanks to the vacuum’s money-saving, lifetime washable HEPA filter. Plus, Dyson’s Bactisafe screen traps and kills bacteria, mold and allergens on contact, preventing them from re-entering the air.
The Telescopic Wrap System allows the hose and wand to be compressed, and ensures that the Dyson DC23 can be stored away neatly and compactly, with no loose components or wires to get tangled. It comes with a stair tool for focusing on dust and dirt from stairs and stair carpets, a brush tool with long bristles to dislodge cobwebs and for delicate cleaning, and a high-velocity airflow crevice tool that’s ideal for cleaning base boards, picture frames and in-between furniture. Other features include a clear bin with 0.44-gallon capacity, 21.6-foot cord length, and easy-to-maneuver fixed wheels. The vacuum measures 13.9 x 19.3 x 11.9 inches (HxWxD) and weighs 19.5 pounds. The Dyson DC23 TurbineHead is backed by a 5-year warranty.

That’s it! My oldest baby has finished 2nd grade, and I couldn’t be more proud!
We had a great year that included 2 amazing teachers, lots of learning and growing up!
J is sad that 2nd grade is over, as he will miss Mrs. E. However, he is excited that we are already into “summer bedtime hours” and he is looking forward to all the fun things on our summer bucket list!
Have a phenomenal summer!!
What do you love about shower wash? Me? I love a shower wash that creates a good lather, smells good and cleans well. (I don’t ask much, do I?
) So when I got the Tropical Mango Shower Wash, I was VERY pleased! The first time I tried the wash, I thought it was VERY thick and wouldn’t do much. While it is a thick soap, it lathers and cleans really well.

Do you have kids that can’t reach the water faucet even with the help of a stool? I do! So, when the Aqueduck® arrived, I tore it out of the box and immediately put it on the faucet! It’s very important to me that my kids practice good hygiene through hand-washing and brushing their teeth OFTEN.

Colin was VERY excited to be able to reach the water! While he still can’t turn the water on by himself, he no longer has to lay on the counter to reach the running water. AND, James can still use the water without the faucet extender inhibiting him in any way! The Aqueduck® Faucet Extender is the coolest thing since sliced bread! (Yep, I totally just said that!)

Every summer it seems like we do the same old things … I want this year (and every summer that follows) to be SPECTACULAR!! So I’ve started a Summer Bucket List. No, it was not really MY idea. I saw lots of other people doing it and thought, “What a great idea!”
Here’s what I’ve come up with:
1. Create a silly holiday and celebrate it every year.
2. Finger Paint.
3. Camp in the living room.
4. Camp in the back yard.
5. Build a sheet fort.
6. Stay up as late as we can.
7. Create handprints out of plaster and paint them.
8. Make cookies.
9. Send letters to a pen pal.
10. Make Sponge Balls.
11. Make a day trip to the beach.
12. Visit family.
13. Go swimming (mostly with Grandma!
).
14. Go to the Lego Store in Austin.
15. Go bowling.
16. Go roller skating.
17. Spontaneously take a day-long road trip. (Decide where you are going when you get in the car.)
18. Have a sleep-over with Grandma & Geezer.
19. Organize the playroom (AGAIN) so we can find the toys we are looking for.
20. Visit Aquatica at Sea World San Antonio.
21. Splurge on something fun.
Hopefully, the kids and I will come up with more ideas and add to our list!
What do you have planned for this summer? Any fun ideas that I should add to our list?
I am so thankful for today – a day to remember and reflect on the men & women that gave (and continue to give) for our country. I wish I could hug and thank each one of these service members.
I am not a Veteran, but my husband is and so are many of my family members. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all that you do to keep us free. Thank you to the families of these men & women.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
I found these images touching, and thought I’d share:
Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is formerly known as Decoration Day, originating after the Civil War to commemorate the Union soldiers who died. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. The first well-known observance of a Memorial Day-type observance after the Civil War was in Charleston, South Carolina on May 1, 1865. (This is from Wikipedia.)
I was sent the Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer to review, and it really couldn’t have come at a better time. You see, Colin woke up last week with a fever. No real symptoms – just super cranky. I cracked that thermometer out of the box, which by the way, was SUPER easy and took C’s temperature. 101.9. YIKES! I gave him some meds and kept checking his temperature. It finally came down and when the light turned green Colin said, “I’m NERMOL!!!”
About:
The V980 Vicks® Behind Ear Gentle Touch Thermometer with Fever InSight™ Feature is gentle enough for a sleeping baby and is clinically proven accurate at detecting fever with instant one-second readings.
