This is the Bissell, 2747A PowerFresh Vac & Steam All-in-One Vacuum and Steam Mop. Also known as a MIRACLE!! This is my new favorite and I think all-time favorite housekeeping tool!!! It “sweeps” (it vacuums up the yuckies on the floor.) mops and sanitizes the floor all at the same time! Mind blown!!! The pads are machine washable, and there are no special cleaners to buy. Just water!

I am seriously singing its praises from the roof tops! This is a must have for every household in my opinion!! What a time saver!

I just bought this the other day. My stainless appliances were looking less than fantastic. I love my homemade all purpose cleaner but it just wasn’t cutting it on the stainless stuff! This made my dishwasher and fridge shine like a MIRROR! No joke!! If you have stainless appliances this is the way to go! The microfiber cloth that comes with it is amazing as well!

I don’t think I could live without Resolve Spot Stain Remover! Between cats, daycare kids and entertaining, our carpet gets a lot of spills and spots. This is a lifesaver!

I am big on reading! Reading as adults and reading to kids! I feel it is extremely important! One of my favorite book series as a child was the Little House on the Prairie series. I still love it today. I think it is important for kids to know how people used to live and how hard they worked.

I hate to admit it, but I REALLY hate dusting! If I am going to neglect any chore, it will be dusting. My family is well aware of my aversion to this task. A few weeks ago my daughter bought these dusting gloves for me! (Maybe she was telling me something?) I tried them out and it really does make the job much easier and quicker! I can’t say that I love to dust now, but these really did improve my opinion of dusting just a bit!

I am an avid canner! I have my Mom’s Presto Pressure Canner that is probably 50 years old, at least. I love it! Here is Presto’s current pressure canner. I am a big fan of the Presto brand.

If you want to pressure can but are leary of the gauges and weights, then the Presto Digitgal Canner is the way to go! This thing is a dream!!!

An essential canning tool is this jar lifter. It makes removing hot jars from the canner easy and safe!

If you are new to canning, it might be helpful to buy a set instead of buying everything individually!

I loooove this! What a beautiful way to store your canning lids! The regular sized lids do fit in a pringles can, but that is not nearly as pretty!

https://amzn.to/3Hmpjrf

This handy lid rack is great when hot packing jars! It sets inside a sauce pan to warm the lids (never boil!) and keeps the lids separate, making it easy to pick up one lid at time with a magnetic wand.

https://amzn.to/3HhaoyD

Speaking of magnetic wand (magnetic, not magic! lol) …. here is that handy dandy tool!

If you are serious about canning it is good to keep track of what you’ve canned and what recipes you have used or want to try, and what worked for you and what didn’t!

https://amzn.to/3O2PN4W

Labeling your canning jars is important! I promise you that you will forget what is in there, even if you think you wont! Also dating your jars is a good idea. You may as well make it cute! These wash off in the dishwasher with absolutely no scrubbing.

Go big or go home!!! Check this out!! If you are doing large quantities of water bathed items, this would be a game changer!

https://amzn.to/3vsxJuj

For smaller canning jobs, this water bath canner is perfect! It is a 20-quart pot that holds 7 quart jars or 8 pint jars. I love that it has a glass lid so that you can check your water level without removing the lid.

Having this canning funnel to fill your jars makes canning a lot easier and less messy!
