The shapes of Chef's Table have been designed to be chip resistant and tough enough for every family's active lifestyle. Each dinner and salad plate has a special "restaurant rolled edge" to protect it from chipping. We also designed a special "finger-touch grip" on the underside of each plate, so you can pick it up even when your hands are wet. * Porcelain * 3 Year No Chip Warranty on Place Setting Items * Restaurant Rolled Edge, Finger Touch Grip * Dishwasher and Microwave Safe

New York event stylist and owner of SC3 Group, Angela Giannopoulos, has used Oneida to decorate her tables for A-list clients.  She has several tips for easy at-home entertaining and we’ve provided a brief except below:

• Versatility is key. Make considerations when stocking your kitchen cabinets— consider cookware and serving dishes that can be used both for smaller and larger occasions, as well as casual and formal ones.
• Accessorize your home. I often hang on to things that I shouldn’t, but have learned that any little knick knack can come into play when decorating for events. I’ve made candle holders out of mason jars, a menu with a chalkboard and centerpieces using old pitchers.
• Use nature to your advantage. When decorating, use sprigs and blooms grown near your home to add life to your table settings. Various shades of colors found in wildflowers often create an organic energy making a table setting more inviting for guests. Also, arranging flowers in different sized vases can be visually appealing on a long table while single, tall flowers work well with a table for two.
• My last bit of advice is to choose dinnerware that is versatile. Consider something that is durable enough for daily use and chic enough for evening occasions, such as Oneida’s Chef’s Table Collection.  This mix and match collection was designed with a modern look and crafted in all white porcelain to complement any table setting.

BusyBodyBook is the only tool Mom and family needs to make her

“dizzying” life of overlapping schedules—taking a sick toddler to the doctor, lesson planning, getting to soccer practice, whipping up dinner,

checking homework, preparing for a big presentation at the office the

next day, and THEN and only then trying to get some personal work-out time at the gym??? – more organized and sane.

The Weekly GRID format provides the clearest view of your daily & weekly schedules and activities helping you stay organized, focused and on track. You’ll easily view overlapping schedules and avoid doublebooking when you plan with BusyBodyBook’s personal and family calendars.

BusyBodyBook organizers are versatile. Assign spare columns to household projects, babysitter instructions, meal planning, personal goals, holiday or vacation preparations,important clients, kid’s school subjects and extracurricular activities.

I received a five column book and I love it. I have decided that since the twins are heading into 2nd grade this  year it would be great to use as Teacher/School calendar.  Because the column headers are blank they can be customized with subjects, people and/or places which is perfect for our crazy life.

The front of the book has a wide yearly grid where you can quickly update upcoming events like vacation or doctor’s appointment. The back of the book has columns for the next year. They are easily accessed and clearly visible so that you know you won’t forget them or schedule other things in their place. Convenient spaces for phone numbers, detachable to do lists and a listing of holidays make this a perfect book for the on the go women and mom.

I know that it is Summer time and you probably don’t want to think about “schedules” and “calendars” but, really,  with school and the holidays right around the corner…it is the perfect time.   Your kids can use them for their school subjects,  you can use it to keep track of each child’s activities and events…the ideas and  uses are endless!

You know there are some name brands that you grow up with. They become the standard by which you judge all other brands. For instance…I love Coke or Pepsi…I don’t care if you promise me sodas for life…generic will never taste the same.

I think the same principle applies to household items. Perhaps foods or products that you have grown up with. I was sent the 21 Pc Citrus Set with Lid Organizer Fresh Keeper set from Frye International to review. Their claim that the Fresh Keeper was better then TupperWare.  I grew up with TupperWare. I love TupperWare.

Is this better? Let’s see….

The 21 pc set includes:

• 2 ea. 6 oz. (3/4 cup) Bowls & Lids
• 2 ea. 8 oz. (1 cup) Bowls & Lids
• 4 ea. 19 oz. (2 3/8 cup) Bowls & Lids
• 1 ea. 24 oz. (3 cup) Bowls & Lids
• 1 ea. 40 oz. (5 cup) Canister & Lid
• 1 ea. Lid Organizer

Fun-fashion color and functionality to brighten your kitchen, refrigerator and food storage tasks! A versatile assortment of container sizes in five different translucent, Citrus colors with matching lids to permit easy lid/container match by color. Includes a lid organizer to organize and store up to 20 lids in a small compact space. Sizes range from 6 oz. (3/4 cup) to 40 oz. (5 cup). Airtight, “burpable” seals to extend food freshness, heavy gauge plastic for durability, unique Date-Set feature to track storage time, microwave/freezer/top-rack dishwasher safe. Made ONLY in the USA/Lifetime warranty. BPA Free.*

I have given the Fresh Keeper 21 pc set the IE Mommy testing. I have washed them by hand and in the dishwasher.  I have put them in the freezer, refrigerator and microwave. Filled them with scalding hot foods and extremely cold foods. I have packed them in my lunch tote, cupboards and fridge. A++

Sometimes  cheaper, less expensive products will melt or shrink when used in the dishwasher or microwave. I always cringe when I use plastic containers in dishwasher or microwave because I am not sure if I will have a nice container when I remove them.

Rest assured the Fresh Keepers passed with flying colors. I just love them!

I love being organized. Something just makes me smile when I open my fridge and see all my little Fresh Keepers are nice and orderly. The Lid Organizer is a wonderful kitchen and it makes me smile. All my lids nice and pretty and “organized”.  It is generous in size so there is plenty of room to add more pieces to your collection and still use the same lid organizer.  The twins love the itty bitty 6oz bowls which are perfect for snacks when we are on the go. Which is often. I appreciate the different sizes because sometimes you just have a little bit left and don’t want to throw it away because it was sooo good.

I am delighted that I was introduced to Fresh Keepers and that I could introduce them to you. You can find various sets and sizes of Fresh Keepers at Frye International or Walmart.com

So the final verdict? As far as price goes….you will not beat the price of Fresh Keepers for the quality you are receiving.  The 21 pc set is only $24.99 which is a little more then a buck a piece. Great deal! As far as quality…well, I still like my TupperWare. BUT…I have big heart and have found a special place and love for Fresh Keepers so I may not “love” my TupperWare quite as much as before…but it’s okay to have two loves! Give them a try!

My worst thing in house cleaning is also my favorite accomplishment. I hate….read despise….cleaning the bathrooms. Yuck!! I mean c’mon…we all know what goes on in there and gross! But alas, I do not have a maid and I am the mom so I get the wonderful (read with sarcasm), glorious job of cleaning the toilets.  The weird thing is that those are the rooms I am most proud of when I have completed my task. Why? Because really no one cares if your windows shine and there is no dust on your book shelves but believe me they truly, truly care if your toilet is dirty and stinks! Trust me on this one. They do!!

I was beside myself with excitement when I received the Scrubbing Bubbles^® Fresh Brush^™ Toilet Cleaning System and the Scrubbing Bubbles^® Toilet Cleaning Gel.

The Toilet Cleaning System works easily and well. The starter kit comes with a long brush, 2 heavy duty pads and two touch up flushables. For whatever reason in my home the toilets that get used less often seem to look the dirtiest. They get nasty hard water buildup and it is very dirty looking. The Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush starter kit was the perfect answer to these yucky toilets….combine that with my ultimate favorite Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel…and my bathrooms are looking and smelling pretty!!

I have been using the Toilet Cleaning Gel for a while…even before the review and think they are a great product. They really do work and help keep the toilets fresher. Now, I will warn you the gel comes in different colors. Personally the clear is the best because it seems less obvious. Having a spot of green under your toilet rim…just looks odd in my opinion.  But the white (clear) is barely noticeable

Tackle the tough stains and the rough jobs with the Toilet Cleaning System then keep everything fresh and tidy with the Toilet Cleaning Gel. Scrubbing Bubbles rocked my world and my bathrooms never smelled or looked so good. I am happy!

Make toilet cleaning easier, less disgusting – and keep it clean in between with Scrubbing Bubbles^® Fresh Brush™ and Toilet Cleaning Gel! Scrubbing Bubbles^® Fresh Brush^™ is the only toilet cleaning system that’s designed for tough stains and touch-ups, while Scrubbing Bubbles^® Toilet Cleaning Gel keeps toilet bowls clean and fresh in between regular deep cleanings.

Scrubbing Bubbles^® Fresh Brush^™ Toilet Cleaning System

Scrubbing Bubbles^® Fresh Brush^™ is the only toilet cleaning system with different cleaning pads to tackle both tough stains and quick touch-ups:

• The Scrubbing Bubbles^® MAX pad cuts through tough stains like hard water, limescale and rust; once you’re done cleaning the pad can be thrown away.
• Scrubbing Bubbles^® Flushables are great for quick cleaning and daily touch-ups and can be flushed away when finished.
• Specially designed, the curved handle lets you get into hard to reach places like under the rim of the bowl.
• The handle can be hung on the side of the tank for easy storage.

• The benefits of Scrubbing Bubbles® Fresh Brush® 2-in-1 toilet cleaner:
  • Curved handle fits both types of pad and lets you reach under the rim

• Each time the toilet is flushed, a small amount of gel dissolves, circulates around the toilet bowl, quickly coating the surface to prevent buildup of limescale and toilet rings. With each flush, the gel releases a fresh scent.
