great storage



I have to say that I do really like this product! It arrived really quick, I was impressed at how quick this arrived. When it did I really wanted to put it together. I opened the box and seen lots of pieces that needed to be put together. I thought that I would end up being very frustrated or end up screaming at an inanimate object.

I dumped out all the pieces on the floor and got everything organized. All the poles are the same and made out of a light weight metal. The material is made of a waterproof nylon fabric. There are two different sizes. I made sure I had those separate. The connectors are made of a nice sturdy plastic. When it comes to the quality of the pieces I could not find any defects or anything wrong with this.

It came with instructions. I was expecting them to make me mad, but they were super simple to follow and had diagrams with everything labeled. When it came to construction, here is were care is needed. I found that if I took my time and made sure the rods were in place that they did not just "pop" out and need to be re connected. When I started to rush that is where I was not making sure they were fully inserted and they would pop out when I was trying to add the other poles in the section. Just take your time and make sure they are secure and you won't have an issue.

The material has a rod running in the front and the back of them to hold them in place.  I found making sure the loops are opened wide before you slip them in place, makes them easier to place on. Each cube also has 2 supporting rods under each bottom. That way you do not have to worry about the weight causing the cube to sag.  I really wish I could tell you exactly how long it took me to put it together, but you will be able to see from my photos that I had a helper trying to help me ( a pug puppy) and he would run off with some of the items and I would have to stop and chase him down, to get them back.

Once it was completed, I thought that I had the perfect place for it in my living room. I was wrong, it was bigger than I thought,  I will hold those large storage bins with out issue. It is made for the large sized ones. It is still perfect though because my son now has it because when he seen it, he said it would be perfect in his room. He offered to organize his room so I put it in his room. Once he had it, he now has it as a shelf to store some of his most prized "treasures" on. It is super sturdy once it is put together, there is no fear of it falling apart. The poles are nice and secure.
He even has a large dog, that has bumped into it and it is still holding strong with out any issues. I just may end up getting another one for his younger brother. I would recommend this to anyone. You can check it out HERE

Great box of CANDY




This is a great box of candy. With Halloween coming, its the perfect box to have on hand when the little trick or treaters show up wanting goodies. Mine of course will not make it that long. This would also make a great box to stuff a pinata or send to a deployed spouse or friend. You can also give this to your college student to take with them to school or just have it shipped directly to them!

This arrives in a nice little shipping box, with the date that it expires right on the outside of the box. That way you know that you are getting fresh candy.  Once you open the box, you realize that it is a nice selection of candy to chose from and 3 lbs of candy is actually quit a bit of candy. The box is assorted so there is no guarantee how much of one kind of candy you will get. I wish mine had more gummy lifesavers, it only came with one pack, I of course ate that one before my children even got to see all the goodies that I had. In the box was also a lot of twizzlers, starbursts, Haribo Gold bears, sour patch kids, nerds, skittles, Hot Tamales, mike and ike, sweedish fish, and finally gobstoppers.

All of the candy was fresh, I did not find one piece that tasted old. They also included a little clip, that has a magnet on it, to stick to your fridge. The only issue that I have with this box, is the fact that it will eventually be gone lol . I am super pleased with this box of candy! You can purchase it HERE

great pans




To start off, I love this pan. This pan has some real heft to it. I really like that when it comes to my pans. I also love the color. I have Rachel Ray pans that I have had for a couple years and I love them, but this pan has them beat.

When it comes to cooking with this pan, it heats even. I never really would have given that a thought in the past, but I have one skillet that gets hotter in the center of the pan than the edges. That causes things to cook uneven. I don't have that issue with this skillet. The textured bottom did throw me off a little bit when I started to use it. I found out, that it actually seems to cause you to require as less grease, than you would need with a flat bottom pan.

I have cooked an array of foods in this pan, from fried eggs to grilled cheese. I have yet find anything that sticks to it. I only use silicone cooking utensils to make sure that I continue to keep it as nice as the day I received it. It is also a breeze to clean, seeing nothing sticks to it. I just hand wash it in soapy water. If you would like to check them out or purchase them, you can do so HERE .
