If you have animals, kids or both you know how messy a house can get. And how quickly it can get that way. I have tried several other vacuums before that got us by, but nothing seemed to clean up 100% of the mess or even all of the pet hair. We have a black lab mix who sheds ALL OVER THE PLACE! I swear I could make a new dog with the fur that comes off our dog on a daily basis!
I was recently sent a Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Vacuum and I was super excited! They say it’s able to provide uninterrupted floor to ceiling cleaning and it can easily clean under furniture, above the floor, and all those other hard to reach places around your home. I was sold!
Out of the box, the vacuum cleaner needed to be assembled. Thankfully, no tools are required. They are easily latched together into the one of the three switchable modes – upright, lift-away canister and rolling canister. Switching mode only takes a few seconds and again no tools are required. Score!
I was quite impressed with the cleaning power of this Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Vacuum. It rolls so nicely and the suction power was great. I was able to go over a single area just once or twice, instead over going over it a few times to be sure it got everything. I’m in love! I’m so grateful for the large capacity, bagless canister. It holds more dirt which means less frequent emptying. It’s also transparent so you can see when it’s filled. Opens at the top and bottom for easy disposal of dirt and debris.
I have to say that I am loving my Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Vacuum more and more every day. There are so many ways to use it and no matter what space I am trying to vacuum, the Shark gets in there and gets the job done. The suction is great even when the canister is filling up. And bonus for me, my girls both think it is so sleek and cool looking that they want to help me vacuum!

Mixing up the dough to form the cookies.
No, the cookies weren’t the pretties as they sort of fused into one big cookie but they were easy to break apart and were delicious!
We also have a cheese pizza mix waiting for us to use. Yes, I said CHEESE PIZZA for an Easy Bake Oven! We’d like to get some cake mix next. I have to admit I had fun making the pretzels, too!
Getting all the ingredients ready for the pretzels.
Mixing up the dough, cheese sauce, and egg wash (what gives these pretzels a golden color).
Rolling out the pretzels!
Look how proud she was of making pretzels by herself!
I used a pancake making squeeze bottle to fill the little compartments but you could even get an empty plastic ketchup/mustard squeeze bottle from the dollar store and use that. The directions said to bake for about 10 minutes and check it with a toothpick. I baked them for about 12 minutes and the toothpick came out clean. In retrospect I think I will bake them even a little longer next time so they get more golden. Either way they are adorable and so much fun to decorate and of course eat!

If your little one likes to collect things, there are other butterflies sold separately. These super cute toys are available at stores such as Toys R Us and on Amazon. For more information head to the 
Right out of the box the Rodeo Core Compact Core Exerciser was super easy to set up. It is mostly assembled already. You just have to attach the foot pedals and a few other parts that took maybe 5 minutes to set up. It is great because it uses no electricity. Which means I can use it while watching my favorite shows and movies. Exercise is always better when you don’t realize you’re doing it. The compact trainer simulates cantering on a horse to strengthen and tone the core muscles.
The food products are really high quality, some of of which I have never heard of. As an added bonus they provide you with delicious recipes every month which help you figure out how to use the food products that come in the Mantry Boxes.
You never know what you are going to get with Mantry. As they say, it’s all about the surprise and the experience. Which is totally half the fun! My hubby received some really yummy goodies in his- chocolate, shortbread, BBQ sauce, and more!
Aztack
Aztack is fun because you have to strategize which piece to play next. You can either match both colors, both symbols or for an extra turn you can match both colors AND both symbols. My girls were able to play it because it is a matching game similar to dominoes but I enjoyed it, too. The “stones” have a nice feel to them. They are high quality and not flimsy. This is a new family favorite for sure.
I love that these super cute dolls are so flexible and easy to adjust into different positions. They are great for imaginative play. Also when Mommy needs some quiet time. We look forward to adding more of the Lalaloopsy Girls Dolls to our collection.
