3 gadgets and tools for a pristine playroom
Does your child’s playroom look like a tornado hit it? With so many toys to keep them occupied keeping them organized, and not scattered all over the floor, can be difficult. Listed below are affordable gadgets built to tackle any playroom full of toys your child gets out, plays with, and leaves behind.
1. Nowadays, toys come with multiple pieces ranging from small to large, pieces that dangle and pieces that easily fall off and get imbedded into carpet. Realizing you’ll be back cleaning the playroom before you know it, there is no sense in lugging around your standard upright vacuum. Effectively cleaning all types of surfaces, the Monster 600XL picks up all dirt and even removes embedded materials from area rugs to the thickest of carpets. For superior cleaning, the Monster 600XL turns into a stick-vac in just seconds and is available in a variety of colors.
2. No matter how many times we encourage our kids to wash their hands, bacteria finds a way from their hands, to their mouths, and ultimately to their toys. The CleanWave Sanitizing Wand uses UV-C light to kill up to 99.9% of germs and odor causing bacteria. Ideal for countertops, telephones and toys, preventing the growth of germs and allergens.
3. How it happens we will never know, but mysterious crayons and scuffmarks show up in the strangest places. In that case, it’s always best to keep a few Mr. Clean Magic Erasers around. Water activated micro-scrubbers remove dirt, grime, and crayons without harsh chemicals keeping the walls of your playroom clean and your kids safe.
Have you found any amazing tools that help you keep your playroom organized?

ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage With The New ACE™ Brand Clip #Review #ACEBrand
Disclosure: I was provided a product for review purposes only. The opinions in this post are completely honest and my own.
I’ve had my share of sprains and strains throughout the years. Believe it or not most of my sprained ankles came from playing around in the yard with the kids. I’d be playing catch, hide-n-go seek, or some other game and end up walking right into a hole the wrong way. OUCH! But thankfully, ACE™ Brand Bandages have been there to give me comfort and support.
If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to strain or sprain a muscle or a tendon, then you know about the R.I.C.E Therapy.
- Rest: Avoid doing anything that can cause strain on your injury. Protect it as much as possible.
- Ice: Apply a cold compress (ice pack). The cold reduces swelling and numbs the pain. Apply 10-20 minutes, 3 times a day. Apply the ice or cold pack under a towel. Avoid direct contact with skin.
- Compression: Apply an ACE™ Brand Bandage to reduce swelling. Wrapping an injury reduces swelling. The new ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with new improved ACE™ Brand Clip is great for providing customized compression.
- Elevate: Lift the injured limb above the level of the heart to help drain excess fluid.
I am loving the new and improved ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage. I loved the older ACE™ Brand Bandages, but the beige color did no justice with sweat and dirt. The black color of the new ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with ACE™ Brand Clip keeps anything from showing, meaning it requires less cycles through the wash. Two thumbs up.
I particularly love the new clip. The old metal clips would fall out and get lost. I also didn’t like that the metal teeth snagged and pinched. This new ACE™ Brand Clip is plastic and easy to maneuver. The clip stays fastened with the same amount of pressure. It doesn’t slip and remains secure throughout the day.
I love that I can still type and write while I have this on. The ACE™ Brand Clip doesn’t get in the way of typing on my computer, and the ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage gives both my wrist and hand comfort able support. The bandage has a secure, comfortable hold that doesn’t unravel as I wear it during the day.
I also love the fact that it isn’t bulky. The bandage adds comfort and padding yet not too much. I can still wear my shoes normally when I wrap the ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage on my ankle/foot. It’s comfortable and doesn’t make my foot sweat.
Add another layer of confidence to your performance with the ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with the new and innovative fastener.
-Product benefits of the ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with ACE™ Brand Clip:
o The clip stays fastened
o Easy to adjust
o Prevents clothing snags
o Provides customized compression
o Provides firm support and compression for sprains and strains
o Bandage retains elasticity after repeated use and washings
Have you seen the New ACE™ Brand Elastic Bandage with the New ACE™ Brand Clip before? What do you think about the new clip? Even the quality of the bandage has improved.

Air Wick National Park 2014 Fall Fragrance #Review #AutumnOasis
*I received free product samples in order to do this review. There was no compensation. The opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.
Just in time for fall, Air Wick has continued their partnership with the National Parks Foundation for their second fall National Park Collection. With five scents inspired by our National Parks, this collection includes three scents that were chosen and voted on by consumers as their favorite National Park Scent through Air Wick’s Facebook contest last fall—Great Smoky Mountains, Shenendoah and Acadia. This collection will also include two brand new scents inspired by the essences of Isle Royale and Cuyahoga Valley.
Although my favorite season is Summer, Autumn definitely gets second. I love the cool crisp days that bring crunchy colorful leaves. I love the bonfires, hoodies, and any reason to wear my boots. I love the fact that Halloween and Thanksgiving are right around the corner, and Football season is here. I also love the scents that are associated with fall.
The National Park fragrances that I received include:
- Acadia – Sweet Vanilla & Pumpkins
Bring the magnificence of Acadia National Park to life with it's rich blend of sandalwood, vanilla and creamy pumpkin.
*I absolutely fell in love with this scent. I love the smell of pumpkins but most candles and scents mix spice in to make “Spiced Pumpkin”. Air Wick has given me exactly what I wanted in a fall fragrance. I swear this smells just like a fresh baked Pumpkin Pie mixed with a hint of sweet vanilla.
It has such a warm and inviting scent that is perfect for the fall season. It gently releases it’s pumpkin/vanilla scent so that it isn’t overpowering. It is a subtle sweet scent that has gotten me many compliments on how amazing my house smells.Warm scents actually invite people in to your home because it draws them in with the comfy atmosphere.
Two thumbs up!
- Shenandoah – Apple Harvest
Apple Harvest & Cinnamon Spice
The aroma of the ripening apple harvest combines with cedarwood and cinnamon spice to inspire rich memories of the fall in Shenandoah National Park.
*I love this. Apples and fall always go together for some reason. It’s a mixture of all the things we use apples for in the fall. Apple pies. apple cider, bobbing for apples, and candy apples. I love that this is more apple and less spice. It does have a subtle hint of cedarwood, which is what helps it smell like a real apple harvest.
It kind of has that crispness we associate with fall. I don’t know if it reminds me of apple picking and crunchy leaves or what. Psst… and did you know that the cinnamon scent boosts brain power and learning ability? Another win/win.
- Cuyahoga Valley - Sweet Pear & Amber Woods
Indulge in Cuyahoga Valley's lush orchards with fresh picked sweet pears ripened by the fall amber woods and complemented by touches of warm cinnamon and nutmeg.
*This is my absolute favorite out of the 3 scents, although it was hard to choose. This one just draws me in. The sweet sugared pear smell mixed with amber, cinnamon, and nutmeg is just amazing. I’ve never smelled an in-home scent like this before. It’s got the warm and inviting intrigue yet it’s also crisp and sweet.
I love the fact that you can smell the spices but they aren’t overwhelming. The spices kind of take a back stance to the sweetened pears, which is also why it’s my favorite. Nutmeg is also an amazing stress reliever when used in candles and essential oils.
Air Wick’s National Park Collection of fragrances for fall are available as scented-oil refills, freshmatic spray refills and NEW wax melts at retailers nationwide for $3.00-$4.99.

House of Botori Bolu Bowler Diaper Bag #Review
When you're on the hunt for a stylish, spacious diaper bag look no further than the House of Botori. There are specific things we look for in a diaper bag, and House of Botori delivers on each of them. The bags are high quality and uniquely designed. Very spacious with lots of pockets to keep you organized. Tons of designs with at least 5 color varieties available in each bag.
I chose the Bolu Bowler bag in Twirl Terracota. and I couldn’t be happier. The quality of the bag definitely gets two thumbs up. The material of the bag is strong and sturdy, very durable and tough. The stitching is also very strong, no worries that they will pop in the near feature. Amazing quality. Each bag is made from colorful African-inspired fabrics and the length of the shoulder strap is customizable to fit any size.
I am loving the vibrant, lively colors and designs they carry. Each design is unique to House of Botori, and comes with tons of accessories. Plus, those accessories match your bag.. how sweet. No more mix-matched accessories! It comes with
- - Dirty clothes sacs for keeping the mess away from everything else
- - Eco-friendly PEVA-insulated bottle holder
- - A changing pad? It's in there
- - There's even a mini pouch just right for a pacifier
The bag has a mess of pockets, keeping everything organized. No more relentless searching and digging. The less time I spend searching for something the better, I tend to misplace everything lol. There’s a total of 12 pockets, so you have enough space (just remember which pocket you stuck what in).
Just because this bag SAYS diaper bag, doesn’t mean it isn’t great for other things. This is a bag that you’ll want to keep long after your kids need a bag carried along. This bag could be perfect for students, laptop bags, photographers, teachers.. ANYbody wanting to get a stylish yet functional bag.
My kids are basically big enough to where we don’t HAVE to pack a bag, other than snacks. So, this bag just kept calling my name. It desperately wanted to become my yarn bag. Crazy huh? It works SO much better than any other bag you could use. It helps the yarn stand straight up, so they aren’t getting tangled and crazy. I also don’t have to search, they are all out in the open. I love it.
It comes with matching accessories, which make it even better. If you’re looking for a great laptop bag- this would be it- I swear. It even has metal feet at the bottom to protect the bottom of the bag from getting dirty when you have to put the bag on the floor! Amazingness, I swear!
It has 12 pockets, so just imagine having a certain place for special items like keys, cell phone, USB cord, etc. I love that my smaller items don’t have to be smushed at the bottom of the bag, and I can get to them easier. To make this bag even better, it’s made from eco-friendly material that is completely PVC free.
There isn’t a better find anywhere. The main compartment of the bag has an insert that can separate it. So, if you’ll be packing smaller items that you’d like to keep apart, this insert would be perfect. If you want to leave it as an open space, just keep the insert pushed to the side.

House of Botori diaper bags are available for $59 -$99 and come in many fabric styles and colors. You can see the entire collection at House of Botori
