Let’s Get it Together!
November 29th, 2009During the Holidays my house becomes chaos. I mean SERIOUS chaos. I have stuff sitting anywhere and everywhere that I can possibly find to sit stuff. I have wrapping supplies strowed in every room. Cooking supplies are sitting all over the place because certain ingredients go with certain recipes and that can’t be mixed up or Tate will eat it all (he eats 24/7). I am running here, there and everywhere. It just becomes chaos.
So, there is no better time to implement some organization than during the Christmas season. And there are no better products out there to help with that than Rubbermaid. They have containers and gadgets to help you organize anything you can think of. And here is where I started:
This is just 1/8th of what I pulled out of my plastic bowl cabinet. It was scary, I thought I was going to have call in rescue to find me. I threw tons away and reorganized the whole cabinet with these:
Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids! Oh my, the lids snap on the bowl. That means no more searching and searching for a lid and bowl that match. These are my dream come true. After I finished that project I moved over to my pantry. Well, I haven’t finished that project yet because I didn’t get as many of these as I needed:
I am filling these with all my dry goods…you know the flour, cornmeal, sugar, coffee, tea, noodles, rice, etc. They have a great seal and stack nicely making everything look so professional. Not that I am professional or anything, but heck, I can look it at least! Rubbermaid Lock-its are great for most anything and they come in so many different sizes that they will fit any need. You will have no spills on the go or at home! Lock-Its has four locking tabs for an extra secure lid seal. Your food is spill safe whether you enjoy it at home or throw it in a bag to take with you.
• 4 Locking tabs for an extra secure lid seal
• Built-in rubberized seal makes it easy to clean
• Easy Find Lids System keeps lids and based organized! Lids snap to bases and to other lids for easy storage
• One lid fits multiple bases
• Available in 10 sizes
• Microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe
It is my goal to have my kitchen completely organized by the first of the year and then to keep it that way…I think I might have a chance with Rubbermaid’s help. I will keep ya posted.If you know of someone who is in great need of getting organized this year, these would make GREAT gifts! Hint Hint.
Rubbermaid supplied a sample of the Lock-Its. I was in no other way compensated for this post, I do just really happen to love Rubbermaid products. All opinions are my own and please remember that individual results may vary.
Seagate (GIVEAWAY)
November 9th, 2009THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED !!!
As a blogger I have TONS of photos floating around on my hard-drive. I fill up a hard-drive pretty quickly. And when I travel, I am constantly wishing I had a way to access some of the info I have on my DeskTop. Seagate has solved ALL of my problems! Check out their new line for all the techy people in your life this year. Affordable, easy to use and dependable! You will be a hit!
Seagate’s line of easy-to-use storage solutions that help people enjoy, share and store their digital content: Seagate launched the next evolution of network storage - FreeAgent DockStarTM network adapter, an amazingly simple way to access and share your digital content with anyone from anywhere.
Increasingly, people are enjoying the benefits of being always connected, yet there still remains a gap in easily connecting people back to their content at home and sharing it with others. The DockStar network adapter reinvents how people think of anywhere access and the concept of sharing their digital files. It allows the FreeAgent GoTM portable hard drive to be added to a network, giving access to its content from anywhere within or outside of the home, as well as allowing for selective sharing of files with friends and family. In a matter of minutes a drive can become accessible through any Internet connected computer, as well as through an innovative iPhone application.
In addition to the introduction of the FreeAgent DockStar network adapter, Seagate also introduced three new capacity points for its award-winning FreeAgent Go hard drive family. In addition to the existing capacities of 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB, the Seagate FreeAgent Go portable storage solution will now also ship in 1TB, 880GB and 750GB capacities. These new capacity offerings in a portable form factor allow people to carry entire libraries of movies, pictures and music in their pockets.
The new FreeAgent Go drives are compatible with Seagate’s lineup of accessories in the FreeAgent family, including the new FreeAgent Theater+TM HD media player, FreeAgent Go DockTM accessory, FreeAgent Go Dock+TM accessory, and the newly announced FreeAgent DockStarTM network adapter.
As with all Seagate FreeAgent® drives, the FreeAgent Go 1TB, 880GB and 750GB drives are all compatible with Windows® 7, Windows Vista® and Windows® XP operating systems and come equipped with Seagate ManagerTM software, an enhanced application that provides scheduled automated back-ups and multi-computer synchronization. The FreeAgent drives for Windows also offer security in the form of software-based AES-256bit encryption to help keep your information safe and
private. The FreeAgent Go 1TB portable drive is backed by Seagate’s industry-leading; five-year limited warranty, providing the confidence of knowing your digital memories and life’s work is on a hard drive you can trust.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Seagate FreeAgentGo and DockStar. The FreeAgent Go is lightweight and compact making portability a breeze and with the DockStar I can access all of my information that is here at home from anywhere. See, I told you , they solved all of my problems. And we all know that I am not the most technologically advanced person. With the Seagate line, I have had no problems setting up, installing, or working their products. That makes them #1 on my list this year!
