  Anybody who has ever used a garden hose knows hoe much of a pain it is to get it all rolled back up and put away neatly. Most of the time, it feels like I'm wrestling with a giant snake trying to get the hose back in the storage box. Sure, there's things that you can turn a crank and it'll roll it up for you, but still that takes a while. A simple, no-fail solution is to get an expandable garden hose!

 The Ry gardener expandable hose is a nice eye-catching beautiful blue color that you can easily spot in the yard. This durable hose is the only one on the market that has 4 layers for extra strength! Each layer is high pressure-resistance-under 170PSI/12.7Bar, which is a lot of pressure! It's very lightweight and easy to transport wherever you may need it. I can carry the whole hose with one hand easily without it seeming to weigh anything at all. It will never kink, tangle or twist up! When in use, it lengthens from 17 feet all the way to 50 feet long fully expanded. That is nice and long and can reach anywhere in a standard yard. With aluminum clamps and brass shut-off valve connectors, it has higher resistance to external hazards and elements.
  The hose also comes with a high quality spray nozzle with 8 adjustable patterns-  cone, flat, soaker, stream, full, angle, shower, and mist. You can easily change between each setting by turning a ring on the tip of the sprayer with just one hand. The shut-off valve is perfect if you want to completely turn it off altogether, however if you just don't press the spray handle, it doesn't leak at all. A handy hose hanger and some replaceable washers are also included as some handy bonuses.

  Using the hose was very easy, and somehow oddly satisfying. I simple screwed one end into my spigot, and screwed the nozzle onto the other end of the hose. I turned my water on and watched the hose expand to a nice full volume. No water leaked whatsoever anywhere, it only came out when I used the sprayer. After I was done, I turned my water off, and the hose stayed full. I just sprayed the last of the water out of the sprayer until the hose was completely empty and shriveled up again.  I was able to take the sprayer off, shake the hose to get the last of the water out, and actually fit it back in the box for easy storage! I am very impressed with the ease of use of this awesome hose and the easy nozzle! It is so easy to handle and never threatened to kink or tangle up. This hose is a lot longer than other hoses as well, allowing me to reach parts of my yard I wasn't able to previously! This is the best expandable garden hose I've ever used!

 If you're like most people, making your yard look good is a priority. Curb appeal is the first thing people see when they come to your house. Bushes especially tend to grow out of control very rapidly. The Careful Gardener makes a Pruning Saw to rival others of it's size.

 The Pruning Saw is a fast cutting, foldable and easy to use saw that is perfect for trimming up your bushes quickly and effortlessly. It's also a must have when you're camping to get some good kindling for the fire. With a bright yellow and black color, it is very easy to spot among grass or brush if you set it somewhere. The blade is very sharp and cuts very quickly with minimal effort. The handle has a hand guard that helps protect your hand and has a rubberized grip to help you hold on to it better. The saw folds up and releases the blade by pressing a durable switch on the side. When open, the blade securely locks into place and actually stays put very strongly. This is a really great quality saw and is backed by a lifetime warranty!

 I tried out the pruning saw on this berry tree on the corner of my house that always gets random wild growth all over it. The saw was a little hard to unfold, you definitely need two hands to fold the blade out and lock it into place. It was very comfortable to hold and didn't slip at all during my cutting. It sawed through the branched like butter! It really surprised me how effortless it was and I was able to saw quite a few branches in just a few seconds! It cuts extremely well and very quickly. To fold up, you have to press the locking lever and pull the blade up a little for it to release and fold back up. When the blade was out, it was very sturdy and did not threaten to fold back up on me. This is a really durable, great quality saw and I would completely recommend it to anybody with bushes to trim. It will also be invaluable camping, and I can't wait to use it the next time I go!

 If you're like the majority of people, you like to have your yard looking nice. Whether you're a hardcore gardener or a fix the yard once a month type of person, a good pair of shears is an invaluable tool.

 The Careful Gardener Gardening Shears are built to last with a lifetime warranty! The silicone grip handles are easy to hold onto and don't slip if your hands get sweaty. The bright red color makes it easier to spot in a garden or flowerbed. They have spring loaded action with an easy to use locking mechanism. I was able to open and close the lock with a flick of one finger. The weight is a little heavy and not all cheap like a bunch of other types I've tried before.  You can tell these really are a quality tool from the first second you pick it up!

These pruners may me small, but they sure pack a lot of bite! It was raining outside when I reviewed these, so I went and snipped off a few twigs from some bushes I have. They were tough enough to cut through sticks about 3/4" thick without too much effort. Also, they are delicate enough to easily prune your flowers or herbs as well. These are very versatile shears with multiple uses and can cover your every garden tending need!

 Ok, I LOVE pillows! I can't sleep without at least 6 of my favorite pillows tucked in all the right places. I even have select pillows that my husband knows he better not try to snag or I'll make him give them up. Even though I have all these pillows, I would still never have the correct support for my head and would wake up with cricks in my necks. It's be so irritating to have my whole entire body at the peak of ultimate comfort, yet my head would be moving around trying to get comfortable. This wonderful pillow has solved all my neck problems and I've been getting the best sleep I have in years with it!

 The memory foam pillow surprised me whenever I opened the box. The pillow was rolled up into a very small bundle. I opened it up and it rolled out into a flat bundle. OK, I was kinda skeptical- did I get a dank pillow? Well I fluffed it a little bit and let it sit and absorb air and within 10-15 minutes, it was a perfectly formed, huge fluffy pillow! It was actually really neat how it transformed like that! The pillow is made of shredded memory foam and is THE most comfortable pillow I've ever used! It cradles my head and neck perfectly and doesn't have any of those annoying lumps other pillows get. I really have been getting way better nights of sleep since I started using it last week! This pillow is amazing, and I won't even let my husband look sideways at it! It's mine! LOL

 My son has a playhouse out back that we love to go hang out in. It's become a little weekend tradition if the weather is night, we'll go watch a little movie or some cartoon episodes and have some popcorn while we snuggle in sleeping bags. We only had a small overhead light in it, and desperately needed some more soft lighting. These Oakleaf LED String lights were the absolute perfect solution!

 The Oakleaf LED lights come in a nice tiny package that would be a perfect surprise gift for anybody! The lights are made of a waterproof copper wire that is completely safe to touch even after 15 hours of continuous use. The copper wire is extremely flexible and easy to shape into designs that stay in place. Each strand has 120 LED lights on it that provide a soft yet bright light to make a perfect setting anywhere. These lights run off of 2 'C' batteries and have control box with three different settings. You can click a button to turn them off or on anytime. There's also a timer on the box the keeps the lights bright for  6 hours and then they dim for the next 18 hours. This makes it extremely convenient where you can just collect them the next day without worrying about them. 

 I installed these lights in my son's playhouse around the upper borders. They easily wrapped around thumbtacks and stayed securely in place. It took only a few minutes to get them all up! We turned out the big light, and these string lights illuminated everything perfectly in a nice soft, cozy light. It was soft enough that we could watch a movie without bothering us, and was bright enough to see each other and everything else in the playhouse. I think these are the absolute perfect addition to the playhouse! It makes our movie nights out there 100x better!

 I live in a pretty small house and storage is always a challenge for me. My usual way of storing my mops and brooms was to just lean them in the corner between the fridge and a counter. I hate how they'd somehow get tangled up whenever I tried to pull one out. I found a simple solution to keep them organized with the HS Home Solution Mounted Broom and Mop Holder.

  The mounted holder is grey and comes with a set of 6 screws along with sheetrock screws if you need to. It was very easy to install, just level it in a good place and screw it in! There's 5 ball slots that hold up to 2.5cm in diameter. There's also a square rubber brake that can be moved to accommodate brooms up to 3 cm if you need it. Six handy hooks fold down if you need to hand cleaning clots or light buckets on them as well. To put a broom or mop in, just slide it in from the top and gravity makes the ball grip it in place. I found these to hold my broom and mop very securely! Now I can easily grab one without fighting all the others and my corner looks so much better!

 I live in the country and have seasonal mouse problems. The common brown field mouse is my most frequent problem. When it's cold or rainy, they tend to migrate into my house every year. I get a break most of the time during the summer when they migrate back to the fields, but a few always seem to like my house year round. Glue strips are too brutal since they'll lay there struggling for hours. We usually use the regular wooden snap traps but they can really make a mess and I'm somewhat disturbed when it crushes them in the middle of the head. 

 Uncle Gus's No Touch mousetraps are an excellent solution to catching those pesky mice without having to deal with all the mess. They come in a nice 4 pack. Each box is made of semi clear plastic and measures 5"x5"x2". The box opens with a special key for extra security. The secret to these nifty traps is that they can only get set off if a mouse enters the box and sets off the trap! These boxes are tamper proof so kids and animals can't get into them. Simply rub some peanut butter onto the trap and near each of the small openings to entice the mouse in. Set the trap, close the lid and place practically anywhere you choose. Now, just sit back and wait for the mice to come to their doom...
    I love that I don't have to see the poor little mice all crushed anymore. Yes, while pesky, they are still cute! These boxes are fully disposable, but I like being thrifty and i just get my husband to clean it out when we catch one. It's so great that I don't have to worry about my curious son getting into these traps! We would always have to stash our old traps behind couches and in weird hard to reach places. This trap I can easily just set under a table by a wall and don't have to worry about it at all!

 A luxurious shower is always a treat for anybody, young or old. Sometimes the little 2" shower heads just really don't have enough power or coverage. Happy Moon makes an outstanding shower head that instantly transformed my shower from blah to ahhh! 

  The shower head was very easily installed. The package included The 6" shower head, a white silicone gasket, a chrome plated brass swivel ball and a 1" bushing. To install, you simply remove your old shower head and thoroughly clean the threads. Drop the white silicone gasket onto the new shower head body. Slide the swivel ball onto the 1" bushing and screw onto the top of the shower head body. Wrap teflon tape around the shower arm's threads and screw the new shower head on, making sure to tighten securely.  It was very easily done and installed within 10 minutes. The hardest part was cleaning off any old gunk from you r old shower head.
​     

  The 6" rainfall shower head has silicone rubberized nozzles that are also self-cleaning  to resist hard water and calcium buildups. The shower head chamber is engineered to allow optimal pressure buildup for a balanced, drenching spray. The 6" range is nice, wide and smooth for full coverage. This shower head will spray with full pressure even under the lowest pressure!
  I took my first shower with this head earlier today, and it was so refreshing! The water felt great and the pressure was very strong. I could actually feel the water massaging my back and it felt amazing! It rinsed the shampoo out of my long hair in about half the time it usually takes with my old shower head. I loved the full coverage as well. I could easily stand under it and have my full body covered with water easily without having to shift around a bunch. I absolutely love this shower head! It instantly transformed my so-so shower into a full on spa experience!

  I've actually been looking for a decent bathmat for a while now. My six year old son likes to slide around like a seal in the bottom of the shower which isn't always safe. Also, I'm 6 months pregnant and getting pretty big and almost slipped the other night trying to shave my legs. 

 The Melapets bath mat came nicely rolled up in a compact little roll. I got mine in the yellow color, which I wasn't too crazy about, but my tub is green so it actually blended in without clashing. The bathmat has a bunch of cusioned little bubbles on the top that feel really good on my feet in the shower. I actually spent some time massaging my feet on them! It has a ton of little suction cups on the bottom that definitely held it in place very well. Installing it was very easy, I just got the bottom of my tub a little wet and pressed the mat down so the suction cups caught well. The bathmat was actually a really nice size of 26.5" x 14" and covered the majority of my tub easily. It was very sturdy to stand on and I didn't slip around at all during my shower.
   The Melapets bathmat is made of durable allergen free vinyl that is anti-bacterial and mildew resistant as well. The compression molded rubber resists abrasion and is very durable. To top it all off, this bath mat is actually machine washable as well! I've never heard of that before! The spaces between each bubble allows the water and scum to drain away well and leave your mat clean and fresh after every shower.

 I have a huge storage problem! There's tubs of clothes that my son has grown out of, but I need to save them since I'm currently pregnant with my second lil boy. Then me and my husband both have clothes that don't quite fit, but we can't seem to get rid of them no matter how many times we go through them. And of course I have a bunch of extra blankets that we keep for the colder times. We've had a pretty mild winter here in Texas, so I never really had to drag out the heavy blankets. They just take up a lot of room in the closet and laundry room. A wonderful storage solution is vacuum storage bags!

 Mr Stimer makes a wondorously easy vacuum storage bag set. There's three vacuum seal storage bags in each set. They each measure 24"x32" and are plenty big enough to fit a large comforter, pillows, a ton of clothes or pretty much anything else in them. The bags are made of 70 micron thick high quality hypoallergenic plastic that also helps to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria from entering the bags. They'll keep whatever you put in them fresh, clean and sterile.

 The vacuum storage bags are so easy to use! I put one of my large comforters in one. It fit in very easily without having to cram it in there. I used a handy little tool that came with the bag to help seal the ziplock end. Then, I simply unscrewed the round cap, sucked all the air out with my regular house vacuum and screwed the cap back on. The round seal part has a stopper that only allows air to flow in not out, so no air went gushing in when i removed my vacuum hose. It only took about 10 seconds for my vacuum to suck all the air out and it was strangely satisfying watching my blanket shrink before my eyes. My blanket went from being about 6 inches thick to less than three! It was incredibly compact! I can very easily store this blanket on a shelf or under my bed without it taking up much room at all. I'm going to have to get more of these and go on a spring cleaning spree!! I love these! These would also be great to use to save space when traveling too!
