Ode to My Little Robot Vaccum

During Amazon Prime Day last month I splurged and got the house a little robot vacuum. Something I never thought I'd ever buy but it was around 40% off ... and you know how much I love a deal. 

Originally, I intended it to be in the basement, so it could tidy up down there without intervention. But after a few days, I brought it to our main floor and have been using it there, ever since. 

And I love it. 

I have it on a timer, so at 9:30 each morning, it vacuums all the hardwood floors on the main level; that includes the kitchen, dining room and living room. It senses stairs, so won't drop into my family room or pantry. It just roams and sweeps. 

Best of all, it is keeping up with Bruce's shedding. It's summer and he's shedding like crazy. I love that each day, we pick up a little more of it. I'll still have to do some power vacuuming elsewhere, but I see less and less hair/dust balls in corners of room. And that is a good thing. 

Not to mention the crumbs in the kitchen, under the table and around other various areas. 

And did I mention it's on a timer? So I don't even have to think about it. At some point in the day, I empty it's little dirt reservoir, but otherwise, it just does its thing. 

I got the lowest priced of the suite of EUFY vacuum options. Mostly because I didn't want yet another thing on my WIFI sending me notes on my phone. This one has a programmable remote control (old fashioned, I know) and that's fine with me. The higher-priced versions also have tech that will "learn your floorplan" but I really wanted the ability to move it around, down to the basement and back up. So I saved money and got what I think I would use. 

Honestly, because of Bruce and his fur, it was a worthy investment. Here's the link to it on AMAZON

Happy vacuuming!

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
