Review and Giveaway: Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler


Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling is what we are all about in my home as it’s one of the simplest ways to reduce our carbon foot prints. Being eco-conscience is a must in preserving and caring for the world around us. I’ve been teaching my children the importance of recycling and as a parent, we do our best to purchase and buy products that are earth-friendly, for instance, my children play with sandbox shovels, vehicles, and tea sets that are all made from recycled milk jugs! My daughter was like “Wow, this was a milk jug at one time?”, and is pretty tickled about the whole idea of it.

Speaking of recycling, I’d like to share about one of latest products that we’ve been using in our home kitchen by Rubbermaid called “The Hidden Recycler”. This product is pretty nifty as it attaches to the inside of a cabinet door to collect recyclables out of sight and keeps your counter tops clear!

Reason’s Why I Love This Product…

Simple installation: You can either use screws (not included) or the over the top of the door padded hooks! The over the top hooks are great for my family because we are renting our home and aren’t allowed to screw anything into the wooden cabinets. And seriously, the installation took about five minutes but really maybe less than that.

Quite Roomy: The Hidden Recycler is a 5 gallon bag that can hold up to 36 12-ounce cans and can fit a milk jug. I found that for a small family of four like my own, we can go without dumping the bag for about a week!

Easy to Clean: The bag has a leak-proof liner and is machine washable to make it easy to clean after any unexpected spills. I usually wash out any jugs or cans before putting them in the bag, so I haven’t had to wash it yet!

Convenience: The handle on this bag, allows for it to be easily transported to wherever your recycling is stored for pick-up or transport.

Eco-smart: The bag and all the packaging is made from recyclable material, and is recyclable itself!

Overall Thoughts…

We’ve been using this product for about two weeks now and I’m so thrilled with how it’s holding up. I’m really glad not have an unsightly paper bag sitting beside the garbage cans with our week of recyclables in it. I love the fact that the Hidden Recycler stays safely tucked away and uses the under the counter space in my not so big kitchen wisely. I would highly recommend this great product by Rubbermaid!

Review: Paula Deen Southern Gathering Stoneware 9×13-in. Baker

I am in love with my Paula Deen  Signature Stoneware Southern Gathering 9 by 13 Baker.
Each of the pieces in the Southern Stoneware Southern Gathering Collection are uniquely glazed making so no two of these area like. I don’t know about you, but when something is uniquely made it just makes the item much more desirable and all the more special.

I’ve used this dish in the oven and have found whatever I am baking cooks evenly. It’s a cinch to clean whether by hand or in the dishwasher. It also can be used in refrigerator and freezer. And sometimes an often con in stoneware, I personally didn’t find this piece too heavy in the least bit.

This piece is so pretty with its unique hobnail design. The online pictures I feel don’t do it justice. It honestly makes me want to bake more! I’m already making meal plan list around it each month to get more use of it. Casseroles, Lasagna, Sides, Cobblers, and more. I guarantee you’ll be inspired to cook and plan meals that’ll have this dish sitting on your table weekly if not daily!

My husband saw how much I loved this one and bought me the Paula Deen Signature Stoneware Southern Gathering Loaf Pan! I’m very happy and hope to collect the remaining pieces in this collection soon for baking, serving, and presenting wonderful meals to my family and friends!

If you love this baker too, note you can purchase it on Amazon.com for $29.99 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping.

Holiday Gift Guide 2011:Vinyl Wall Quotes by Belvedere Designs {Review + Giveaway }


If you are wanting to decorate the walls of your home,  I would recommend checking out vinyl art and lettering. Vinyl is a great alternative to having pieces of  framed art that needs mounted and also to painting designs and murals on the walls. I for one love to decorate but have held back because of living in rental homes and apartments where such things are just not allowed. I think it’s great to have a reasonably priced solution and option to my household designing needs!Lovely Vinyl Wall Art hung on my wall for all to see.

I recently was introduced to a great vinyl wall decal company called Belvedere Designs. This company specializes in offering unique vinyl wall art! The options are endless as you can pick specifics quotes,  single words, or a particular art design from their many categories! You have the options of choosing a favored font style, color, and a specific size that’s perfect for wherever you’d like to display your wall quote or art. And if you don’t see something you like that’s already offered, they also take custom request!

I was sent a wall quote from their Religious quote category to review and share my thoughts on which reads ” The Approval of The Lord Matters More Than The Applause of Men”.  I had my husband read the included instructions and apply the quote to the corner in our living room. The instructions were very easy to follow and in about 10-15 minutes tops I had a lovely quote on wall for all to see.

I quite enjoyed browsing the the Fall 2011 and Seasonal Collection. Both categories have many great designs that I’d be more than happy to showcase in my home through out the year and during specific holidays. The prices are reasonable and the products are hassle free making decorating a cinch! The designs are simple yet stylish, professional yet not pain staking,  and can make your home or office look great in a matter of minutes!

I highly recommend checking out Belvedere Designs for all your wall art needs! And if you know somebody you think would love something like this, you can also purchase gift certificates straight from their website. Defiently a unique one of a kind gift to give this Holiday Season and there really is something there for everyone especially since you can go really personal and get a custom design done!

Buy It: You can purchase all Belvedere Designs wall quotes and wall art on the Belvedere Designs website.
