Summer is almost officially here and it’s that time of the year to hit the beaches and parks! Let the little ones get out there and play in the sand and…dirt of course! If you have boys like me, getting dirty is just part of the fun when playing outside. I am not to strict on them getting dirty. I mean I do have a bathtub and a washing machine after all. Spencer is a get down and dirty kind of a boy. He loves to run his trucks and cars through makeshift hills and courses. He was hauling around all of his Jelly Beans in his dump trucks after Easter was over!

Royal will be 10 in just a few months and he has a teddy bear who’s name is Sam. He received this as a gift when he was just 3 years old from his great-grandmother. He is very serious when it comes to Sam. For many years he would not sleep anywhere without him. Sam has made MANY trips back to Pennsylvania with us to visit my family. I can’t tell you how many times I have fixes Sam and surprisingly, he still is in great condition but he stays in the bedroom now. No more traveling for Sam. I am thrilled about this because it means no more incidents of poor Sam potentially getting left behind.

 

Spencer, my “baby”, who is turning 5 tomorrow, has Freddy Teddy. When he was born myself, my Mom and Royal were walking around a national clothing store when he spotted Freddy Teddy. He asked if he could buy it for Spencer, so we did. Freddy Teddy is still with us today kicking it every night with Sam.

I used to live in Pennsylvania in an area where the cost of garbage pick-up was an outrageous price. Most people in the Poconos burn their garbage instead of paying for the pick-up. This means a lot of jar and can washing because you obviously can’t burn that stuff. I remember when I first moved to Ohio, I had finished up the mayonnaise and I started to rinse the jar out. Complete habit! I was asked what was I doing? As stupid as this may sound, the moment I remembered that I could just throw it in the trash, I was so excited. Not because I didn’t want to recycle but because it was almost like a novelty to throw it away lol

It seems like more and more people are getting involved in recycling these days. Royal even tries to get into it a little bit but he isn’t consistent. I live in a small apartment for now so I really don’t have the space for a bunch of bins. The Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler is an easy solution to that problem. It 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. Once your bag is full, you just have to easily lift the bag from the lid and cabinet by the handle to take them out to your recycle bin. The Hidden Recycler is currently available for purchase online at Rubbermaid.com and in store at Meijer. Here are a few details about the Hidden Recycler.

It is very rare that I come across a Rubbermaid product that I don’t love. I have had some minor issues with some from time to time but mostly I offer nothing but positive things to say. I really don’t even know where to start with this review. I am so ridiculously in love with these boxes! I have “cubby” unit in my living room that holds 18 “bins” total in 3 different sizes. I own so many of the fabric bins that I keep my sons toys organized in and they really just don’t hold up. The boys are constantly pulling the bins out and putting them back in. Most of them come apart at the seams. I have been using the Rubbermaid Bento Storage Boxes for many months now and much to my surprise, (considering all the others I’ve owned) these are still in like new condition!
