Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler Review and Giveaway

Recycling is now something I do as easily as throwing something away. I didnt really think about needing to have its own bin until my son became the ever curious explorer. I used to have a bag that sat next to the garage door for things like milk jugs, cans and water bottles. Now that he gets into everything and please dont touch is something he thinks is funny I knew we needed a better solution.

Rubbermaid makes all sorts of great everyday products, so much more than food containers. I like the variety of products they make for recycling needs. The Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler is perfect for hiding the stuff I need to recycle and can keep my son out of it.

It is simple to install and easy to use. I usually take out the recycling each day as I clean up the kitchen for the night and with the Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler I can grab it by the handle. This has made it easier to recycle items as I use them without having to worry about my son getting into it.

Product Info:

The Hidden Recycler attaches to the inside of a cabinet door to collect recyclables out of sight and keeps your counters clear. The bag is durable, machine washable, and made of recycled material. Collect your recyclables and then easily lift the bag from the lid and cabinet by the handle to take them out to your recycle bin.

• Hinged lid attaches to cabinet door with over the door hooks or screws
• Bag is made from 65% post-consumer resin
• Bag is machine washable
• Comfortable handle for transport
• 5 gallon bag holds 36 uncrushed cans and is large enough to fit 1 gallon milk jugs

I really like the new Stackable Recycler from Rubbermaid too. It would be great for the garage. Being organized is a great way to start off your Spring Cleaning. If you know what you have and where it is I find it to be much easier to keep things clean.

Uncle Milton's Toys National Geographic Explorer Toys Review

Looking for something for the Science Kid in your family? Or have a child who likes to explore and learn while using imaginative play? If so you should check out Uncle Milton! Uncle Milton leads the science category with popular brands such as; Star Wars Science, Explore It, Back 2 Nature, Ant Farm, Dinosaur Train, In My Room, Horrible Pets and Tarantula Planet. Their newest line of products are from the National Geographic, which include things for your little explorer.

We were sent the 4-in-1 Explorer Navigation Tool and the High Sierra Eco Explorer to try out. JJ has really been into science lately, always asking about the earth and life. Also wanting to know what bugs and creatures are for and where they come from. Exploring in the dirt and yard for good finds!

The High Sierra Eco Explorer is cool (words from my son). It has a Headlamp (all kids love a headlamp), a magnifier, soil sifter, tweezers and a digging tool. He got straight to work outside! The tweezers are nice and big so he could maneuver them well. It was fun to collect things int the jar and show us his finds. FUN for sure!!







The 4-in-1 Explorer Navigation Tool is a compass, thermometer, whistle and signal mirror all in one!! It attaches right to your belt loop. JJ thought he was so big stuff walking around with the tool hanging from his pants. My husband has recently started going on hikes with our oldest, just him and JJ exploring nature. Not only has been fun for JJ to navigate their way in the woods and learn about reading a compass, my husband is getting a chance to teach him survival/life skills along the way.




The National Geographic line has more products similar to the ones we reviewed. We loved our National Geographic Explorer tools, these items will be great on our camping trips this summer! Along with the New National Geographic products they have a ton of great other fun things to check out at Uncle Milton's Toys!!

You can be a Facebook fan or Twitter follower of Uncle Milton's Toys for discounts and new product news.

Favorite Things My Gap Jean Jacket That Can Go Anywhere

I love my Gap jacket. What can you say about something that is so easy to dress up or down and is timeless? I'm taking a new look at my wardrobe and getting rid of things that no longer fit me or my life. Like most of us, I have far too many things that I don't wear or don't want anymore. So I'm spring cleaning my closet and donating what I no longer need.

Of course, I'm keeping my Gap jacket and I'll be wearing it a lot more now that the weather is getting warmer.

I remember when the Gap was just a tiny hole in the wall store filled with only jeans. Yes, I'm really dating myself by saying this but it's true! A few walls of jeans and that was it. How far they have come. Me too, I guess. Love my Gap jacket and it definitely remains one of my favorite things.

Let the Gardening Begin!

I have been waiting for the nights to not be so cold to buy any plants for the garden. I did pick up some new gloves, a little hand shovel and seeds but have not planted anything just yet. Today while we were out shopping I found two cherry tomato plants that I had to have. Its just not Easter unless we have veggies growing outside. Tomatoes are one of my favorite things to eat. I love them fresh from the vine with cracked pepper over them. So good!

This old chair is a DIY on my list. I want to re paint it and fix the seat with a hole in it to turn it into a planter for the back yard. I saw some cool ideas on Pinterest and its on my to do list. For now I will just sit these on here off the ground so the local cats dont get it.

I am going out in the morning to buy planters and some soil for these plants. I did not plan on buying anything just yet, but the gardening at my house has begun!
