Eureka FilterAir Vacuum Review

My current vacuum is no longer functioning as well as before. I have been wanting to replace it. I want a vacuum that not only works great and does the job well, I want it to be affordable. I also want a vacuum that I can use both carpet/rugs and bare floors at the same time.

After searching for one, I came across Eureka. Since I read so many great reviews about Eureka's vacuum, I contacted them to review one. I was thrilled when they sent me their FilterAir Vacuum to review.

About the FilterAir Vacuum 8871AZ

Sealed HEPA Filtration captures 99.97% of dust and allergens for a cleaner home. On/Off Brushroll Switch picks up dust and allergens from carpets and bare floors. Atimicrobial Dust Cup and Bristles with On-Guard™ protects brushroll bristles and dust cup from odors caused by bacteria.

Features I love

• Very easy to switch from carpets to bare floors.
• Very easy to maneuver. It turns easy. I have no problem vacuuming under the table and chairs.
• It's bagless. I love that I don't have to keep buying bags which saves me tons of money in the long run. It is also environmentally friendly.
• Very easy to empty! It has a Flip-Bottom Dust Cup for one push emptying. You are not exposed to the dirt. I used to hate emptying my old vacuum. In fact, I only emptied it when it's completely full. But with the FilterAir, I empty it after each use!
• I also love that it has HEPA Filtration which captures 99.97% of dust and allergens for a cleaner home.
• The cord length is very long. I can vacuum the whole room without moving the plug around.

I have been using the FilterAir Vacuum for a couple of weeks and I really love it. It does wonderful job cleaning both my rugs and hardwood floors. Having a toddler and a 10 month old, I'm constantly cleaning the floor for spills, crumbs and just about anything. The FilterAir makes it easier for me to maintain a clean floor. It picks up cheerios or goldfish crackers on my floor without any problem. It has no problem picking up dirt in edges and corners. I

also like that it comes with Telescopic Wands attachment. I can easily clean those hidden goldfish or cheerios in the sofa.

The only thing I can complain about this vacuum is it's very heavy. It weighs

about 19 pounds.

Although it is heavy, it does not bother me much because it is very easy to maneuver.

I don't have to lift it to get to places. I just push it.

Overall I'm very pleased with the FilterAir Vacuum and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a vacuum that works great and affordable.

Back to School with Frecklebox Lunchbox Giveaway

I came across Frecklebox last year when I started entering giveaways and fell in love with all their personalized products for kids. They offer puzzles, posters, lunch boxes, coloring books, story books and so much more. Their designs are unique and fun.

Since then we own a couple of things from them. When I was pregnant with Emma, I got Libby their personalized books. We also have their personalized growth charts. Their quality are amazing. We know they will last for many years.

I was thrilled when I was given an opportunity to review one of their products. Although Libby doesn't go to school yet, I decided to get the personalize lunch box for her. We can always take it with us when we go to the park or anywhere else for snacks or lunch. And she can always use it next year when she starts school.

Olivia picked one of the Looks Like Me Fairy personalized lunch boxes. I really like that when you order your lunch box or anything in their site you can preview exactly what it will look like. I was also amazed how fast they shipped it to me. I received it three days after I placed my order.

Olivia was very excited when she saw it. She loves her lunch box and we have taken it with us every where. I put snacks, juice even wipes and diapers inside for those short trip to grocery store. And she proudly carry it on her own. She loves it even more that her name is printed on it because she just recently learned to read her name.

One of my favorite feature of their personalized lunch boxes are the chalkboard on the inside lid for writing notes. I can't wait when Libby starts school and leaving her surprise notes. But for now it's great to keep her busy while we are out. I bring chalks and she can draw on the board while waiting in the doctor's office. She loves to draw on it.

If you're looking for personalized school supplies for your kids definitely check out Frecklebox. Aside from lunch boxes, they also have notebooks, school folders and clipboards.

Sew a Glove "Dog"

I wanted to make something for Libby but I'm not really the most creative person. I don't have sewing experience either.

I was really excited when I saw the video Sew a Glove Doll. It looked pretty easy and I know it would be a fun project to do with my daughter. But I was a little worried because the only sewing experience I have is when I made a cloth sanitary pad when I was 9 years old (in the Philippines). Since then I have not made anything.

Finding gloves in the middle of summer was not exactly easy. I could not find one that match and I only found Libby's gloves. But it turned out alright ( I think). She doesn't think it's a dog. She said it's a bunny! lol

We both had a great time making it. She stuffed it herself. She didn't want me to help her. After it was all done, she said she made it all by herself! She's so proud of it too!

They also have a Sock and Glove book. It has 13 fun projects to do with gloves and socks which I would love to have. They are so fun to make! I want to make all of them for my girls.
