This is one of the cutest products that we’ve seen in a while. The SpongeTech sponge is a sponge with the soap built in. However, the really neat part is that they have a product made especially for kids to use in the bath and it’s made in the shape of the popular character Sponge Bob. You can watch the commercial here:

As a single female, I always hated hauling my old vacuum up and down the stairs. I bought this Shark Navigator vacuum recently and I have been extremely happy with the results. It is lightweight and I have no issues moving it around the house. And just as importantly, it is somehow more powerful than my old vacuum. I love the pet hair attachment – I have two dogs and this is perfect for picking up hair off my couch and chairs. I also love the cord length and I can just about get a whole level of cleaning without having to unplug the vacuum. Looking back, with my old vacuum I never noticed how annoying it was to keep plugging and unplugging the vacuum as I cleaned, but now I don’t think I could live without the longer cord. For that matter, I don’t think I could live with lugging around a heavy old vacuum cleaner again. The Shark Navigator is an excellent product at a fair price and so far in the four months I’ve had it, it has not lost any of its incredible suction power.

When I saw the infomercial for the Shark Steam Pocket mop a was a little skeptical, but I figured for $120 (four payments of $29.99) it was worth a try. If it did end up working I’d be able to clean my floors without any chemicals and in much less time. I’m glad I gave it a try.

It took about two weeks for the Shark Steam Pocket to arrive and it was very easy to set up. I simply filled it up with regular tap water, plugged it in and waited 30 seconds for it to heat up and was ready to go.

Mopping with the Shark Steam Pocket is as easy as slicing warm cake. It glides easily using a natural back and forth motion, and the steam removes all the dirt in its path. From my experience, the Shark Steam Pocket does an amazing job and can handle everything. My kids and I go to the beach often and there is always sand left in the hallway and the Shark Steam Pocket is a breeze to clean it up. It can also handle big messes with the same ease as little ones with the only difference being I use a few extra pumps of steam from the handle for big jobs. It is really easy to wash the pads – just throw them in the wash and allow them to hang dry – and I really love the fact that the cord is 30 feet long! The only negative I’ve had with the Shark Steam Pocket is that occasionally it will leave streaks, but I have been able to solve this problem by cleaning really dirty / greasy areas with a paper towel before mopping.

I am very happy I ordered the Shark Steam Pocket Mop. It is an excellent product and has made my life a lot easier. I have recommended it to all my friends and plan to buy one for my Mom for her birthday.

I recently checked out the new Potty Patch indoor doggie bathroom. I’ve got to tell you that I was very impressed with the creativity and attention to detail that this product.

The Potty Patch is basically a special litter box designed for dogs. It’s three tier system includes a top level that looks and feels like real grass so your best friend is comfortable “making” inside when you’re not able to take him out.

Sorry I can’t finish telling you all about this excellent product now, but I’ll return to finish this review soon.

OK, so here’s my UPDATE (Sept. 23, 2009)

Potty Patch made my impossible pet into a clean freak

Do you spend too much time cleaning up after your pet because it needed to go out but couldn’t? You may have every intention of returning earlier, but if something comes up and you can’t get away, it might not be able to wait until you arrive home. When that happens there is another mess to clean up – if you can find it. Some pets are embarrassed about the situation and use a hidden spot for a potty, so it could be days before it is discovered, making the clean up even more difficult. The resulting unsanitary condition in your home could be a health concern for your family. Eliminate that problem by purchasing the Potty Patch and your pet will become a happy and contented clean freak. Your pet will be more comfortable, and you will find life much less stressful, since you won’t need to be so concerned if it is sometimes inconvenient to come home in time to take it outside.

Using the Potty Patch in the winter is the only way

When snow is blowing and it’s freezing outside, wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t always have to take your pet out? Some pets don’t like cold weather any more than you do and would really rather stay inside if they could. There is a better and more comfortable solution to the predicament. Using a Potty Patch is an easy and inexpensive way to avoid the necessity of going out with your pet in cold or icy weather. Just imagine how much more pleasant your winter will be if you don’t have to bundle up in coat, hat, boots and gloves to take your pet out unless you want to. After purchasing the Potty Patch, you and your pet will both think you were very wise to find the perfect answer to a chilly problem.

How the Potty Patch works

The first layer of Potty Patch is soft imitation grass that lets liquid run through it to a tray which can hold up to a gallon of fluid. Separating the tray and grass is a grate that holds the top layer and keeps it dry. It is simple to clean by rinsing with soapy water. Because the tray has a large capacity, it can be used several times before it needs to be emptied. This product also works well for training puppies. You will find the Potty Patch a real value for the money, only $39.95 plus shipping and handling for the regular size. There are many advantages to this amazing product:

· Two sizes available – the regular measures 17” x 27” and the large is 27” x 34”
· Cleans easily with soapy water
· Large capacity tray can be used several times before emptying
· Convenient for your pet to use when you can’t be there
· Great for use when weather is bad
· Helps keep your home more sanitary
· Wonderful for training puppies

When you can find a simple solution to create less stress for both you and your pet it is really priceless. You will be so happy with Potty Patch that you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.

The Xpress Redi Set Go is a little cooker that packs a lot of punch.  I had seen the infomercial with Cathy Mitchell a few times, but I was hesitant to order because it was hard for me to believe that I would be able to use the grill as smoothly as Cathy.  Boy was I wrong.  The reason it looks so effortless to use is because it is.

I ordered the Xpress Redi Set Go on a Saturday (with express shipping) and received my unit on Thursday morning.  When I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised to see not only the cooker, but FIVE cookbooks which I had no idea I was getting.  The cookbooks are cute and colorful and the instructions are simple and organized – they even go so far as tell you which meals will cost less than $1 per serving, which cook in 7 minutes or less (which in my experience ends up being most meals) and which have less than 100 calories per serving (great for my weight watchers program).

Also included was a spatula (which has been very handy when I need to clean out pancake batter and the likes), a divider pan, and a round divider pan with 6 trays called the “mini-food pan” which can be used for things such as muffins and eggs.

Setting up and using the cooker was as simple as plugging it in.  I couldn’t wait to try it out.  Be careful when you turn it on because they are not kidding when they say it heats up fast! I put in the mini-food tray and turned the unit on and I thought I’d give it a few minutes to heat up while I prepare my omelet ingredients but before I was done cutting my peppers I could tell the cooker was ready to go.  When I poured the eggs in, they started sizzling as soon as I put them in.  The recipe called for 10 minutes, but they were done in about 7 and they were really delicious.  I put peppers, cheese and salsa (my own addition to the recipe) inside the omelets and they came out better than ever!  They were cooked just right, where the peppers were not hard or mushy, but the cheese was melted and the salsa was warm and delicious.  And best of all, they looked perfect.  Since that first time I have used the Redi Set Go many times and the only complaint I have is that I wish I had bought two.  When my sister brings her kids over I could really use the second unit to cook for all the kids.  But as far a cooking, cleaning and storing the Xpress Redi Set Go, I couldn’t be happier.  I’d give it 5/5 stars.
