Dust Mop Slippers

I have to admit.  Mopping and sweeping the kitchen floor are among my two least favorite things to do when cleaning the house.  I will also admit, I have been known to put towels under my feet, a spray bottle in my hand and spot mop – ice skating style…  Lookout Yamaguchi…you should SEE my triple sow cow…

No more towels for me. 

Nope.

I’m gonna get me some of these…

Aren’t they freakin’ awesome?  I mean what could be better than these things?

Yep.  That would be better.

Poison Rings

 

I’ve seen lots of movies where someone (usually a bad person) has an overwhelming urge to poison another person in the movie.  Typically the poison is administered with a sneaky ring with a secret compartment…

Of course, some enterprising person has seen a need, and has decided to fill it.

Poison Rings – a thing of the past.

Stash Rings – for the here and now.

Hide your medicine (only one dose..) Hide your super secret spy codes…whatever…

Canned Bacon

In honor of Easter, how about some Canned Bacon?

How does bacon fit into Easter?  Well…Ham is the traditional Easter food, right?  Bacon and ham come from the same place…

Okay so it’s a stretch.  Whatever.  Enjoy your canned bacon.

Available in the US for the first time in 20 years…(Why oh why did this ever disappear from the market???  WHHHYYYY!!!???) And not available in any stores…Yoder’s Canned Bacon.  You won’t even know it came from a can…

Bling Mug

I’m thinking if I didn’t have this sweet work at home gig that allowed me to go to work looking (less than) gorgeous each day, I’d most definitely want one of these:

I mean, nobody – I mean nobody – wants to be without their golden gilded mirror at their fingertips to be sure their hair and face are fully primped and preened.

And because I can’t possibly make this stuff up (mostly because someone else beat me to it…) from the website:

"Bling" mirror mug lets you enjoy a hot beverage while checking on makeup or hair at a moment's notice.

Yep.  On a moment’s notice.  Ain’t life grand?

Fabulous Finds Friday – Zadyball

Today’s product comes to us via my daughter, Ali.

Isn’t he cute???  Sure he is!   So what IS he?

This is Zadyball … Baby Ringo the Octopus to be exact – and he’s cute as a button.  His tentacles are perfect for baby to grab on to and hold, his body is soft and squishy and he has a special surprise inside…bells…but not the obnoxious loud bells, a perfect little jingle sound that entertains baby, and doesn’t drive mom crazy.  The best part?  This little lovey (that your child will CERTAINLY grow attached to) is machine washable!  That’s right…try throwing that favorite teddy bear in the washer…go ahead, I dare you…No worries like that with the ZadyBall!

Zadyball has many different styles, animals, bugs, and simply round balls – AND she’ll customize one for you if you aren’t quite finding your favorite little buddy on the site.

My baby loves it – and come to think of it, a few of the big kids in the house like it too.  In fact, I was interviewed on our local television network and the camera guy also thought it was fabulous…I had to fight to get it back.  This thing is awesome.

EZ Cracker

When I was little my mother taught me a lesson that every mother teaches her child at some point in life.

How to crack an egg.

It’s a fairly simple task in life for me now, but I remember the struggles.

Now mothers everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief…no more having the “talk” with their daughters regarding eggs…of the chicken variety anyway.

What is it?

Good question.  It’s a do-hicky that you stick an egg in and then squeeze the handles together and it cracks the egg for you into a bowl….

I admit, it’s kinda smart, for those who are egg cracking challenged.  But my favorite part of every infomercial…

BUT WAIT – There’s MORE!

That’s right, if you call right NOW (seriously, call now, the offer is only good for another 5 minutes…) you’ll get the EZ SCRAMBLER.

What is it pray-tell?  Well,  it’s another do-hicky, only this one has a dilly-bob on the top that punctures through the egg…then you push a button and it scrambles the yolk INSIDE the egg so that when you put it in the EZCRACKER and release it into the bowl you have perfectly scrambled eggs…EVERY TIME!

Hey, you know what else scrambles eggs???

A fork.

Thanks Mom for finding this one, AND for teaching me the proper way to crack an egg early in life.  I don’t know where I’d be today without that skill…possibly twenty dollars poorer after buying this thing.
