Mighty Handle Review & Giveaway

Mighty Handle makes it easier to carry more grocery bags, whether you just have to walk across the driveway or up a flight of stairs.  It's also handy for carrying hanging clothes, housewares and more.

The handle is light, durable, comfy, no slip and ergonomic.  The anchor design system balances the weight so you can carry up to 50 lbs. of bags in one hand.  Best of all, the Mighty Handle is made in the good ol' U.S.A., is 100% recyclable and dishwasher safe.

While I was trying to think of different items the Mighty Handle would be helpful for besides carrying groceries, I thought of gifts and baskets.  Everytime I go to a birthday party, shower or other gift giving event, I always see people having a hell of a time carrying all their gift bags and baskets to the car and home.  This could save a lot of trips back and forth to load up all your goodies.

I no longer have to worry about the bags spilling or tipping in the back seat everytime I turn a corner.  I will admit that I am not the best driver.  After placing your bags on the seat or in the trunk, twist the Mighty Handle twice and fold it down to prevent spills.

See how simple it is to use in the short video below.  Shopping made easier and more mighty.

I keep mine in the side pocket of our truck for easy access.  Usually after a stock up trip to the grocery store my hubby makes trips back and forth bringing the bags in while I'm putting them away.  He only makes one trip when he uses the handle.   It also makes it easier when my daughter and I go to the store.  She actually likes to help me bring in the bags now just so she can use the Mighty Handle.

You can get the the Mighty Handle at Schnucks and Hen House stores or at Amazon. Mighty Handle - 2 Pack

It is also currently rising in Walmart's "Get On The Shelf Program".  Vote to get this product sold at Walmart by visiting https://getontheshelf.walmart.com/product/1481/Mighty-Handle

Find more information about the Mighty Handle on Facebook and Twitter.  Better yet, you can enter to win your own and see for yourself how it makes your shopping easier.  Giveaway will end 9/11/13 and is open to the U.S.  Easily enter with the rafflecopter from below.  Good luck to everyone.

Modcloth and The Great Gatsby

Will you be going to see the much anticipated movie The Great Gatsby?  I'm sure Leo's performance will be fabulous.    Luckily, ModCloth has curated a page with all of their fabulous Gatsby-inspired pieces to start you off!

 1920's Great Gatsby Fashion at ModCloth

Full of glitz, glamour, ornate details, and a true style all its own - what girl wouldn't want "The Great Gatsby"  look?  Whether you are looking to enjoy a casual Gatsby themed garden party or don your most glamorous look at a fabulous cocktail evening, there are plenty of ways with ModCloth to add a flapper-esque flair to any look this spring/summer.

Details, details, details. Epaulets, pearls, rhinestones, and sequins were highly used during this time period to add glitz to an evening outfit.

Slender silhouettes. While you could still see a full skirt, long hemline, and high neck, the robe de style dress featuring a drop waist and straight cut was the most popular style.


Hazelnuts About You Dress from ModCloth

Haute headpieces. To top off the entire look, add a whimsical & decadent headpiece from ModCloth. You can even DIY a fabulous headband with ribbon, feathers, and gemstones!


Chain the Rules Hair Comb from ModCloth

For more tips & tricks to achieve the perfect flapper-esque look, you can visit the ModStylists here: ModCloth ModStylists Will Style You Up!. The ModStylists can put together a look-book specifically for you!

How To Choose Your Camping Gear

Camping is a great family activity.  It's also fairly inexpensive after you have your basic camping necessities.  Choose your camping gear wisely and it can last for many years of special family time memories.  I know nobody in my family will ever forget my rattlesnake scare camping story.  (Don't worry it was a funny story and I wasn't bit by a rattlesnake)

The following are my 6 most important camping gear and how I choose the best ones for me and my family.

• Tent - I don't like tiny and cramped places, so I have a rule of thumb when choosing what size tent to take.  I double however many people will be sleeping in the tent.  If 3 sleeping, then I must have at least a 6 person tent to know I'll be comfortable.

• Sleeping Bag - Choose a bag rated for whatever temperature and climate you'll be camping in.  Also make sure you check the width and length, especially if you're a tall person.

• Cook Stove -  I prefer a basic folding camping stove that you just attach a small propane tank to.  It's easy, convenient and easy to store.  It has 2 burners which is sufficient for cooking whatever you want.

• Chair - Choose a sturdy and comfortable beach chair with a cupholder

• Cooler - Don't buy one of those flimsy styrofoam coolers.  Choose a large well built cooler with sturdy handles and wheels. I also recommend having a small 6-pack cooler for easier carrying on walks.

• Lights - Everyone should have their own trusty flashlight.  Headlamps are great for the kids.  They are less likely to lose them and it's easier to keep track of where the kiddos are.  You should also have a couple lanterns on hand.

I made a list on Sweet Relish of some of my favorite camping gear to check out for ideas.  Take a look and tell me what you like or don't like.  I've become a little addicted to Sweet Relish lately.  It's so easy to create and organize your shopping lists, wish lists or any other kind you wish to make.  I added a Relish button to my tool bar so I can add stuff to my lists no matter what site I am on.  See some of my other lists in the right sidebar.

What's your favorite part of camping?  Mine is when we tell the kids scary stories and try to scare them. I can't believe the scary old fisherman with a hook for a hand story still works.  Remember that one?  Happy camping to all.

Thank you to Sweet Relish for sponsoring this post.  All opinions are 100% my own based on my experience.
