A Thank You Giveaway!

I have a really AWESOME giveaway for you guys today!!

But first I want to thank you so much for your support. It's so touching to hear from readers who have been reading my blog since "way back when" and I love when I hear from new readers, too. I couldn't do anything I do without my blog readers and I appreciate each and every one of you! I read each comment and email and you guys keep me going every time I wonder "can I do this?!"

Recently I was contacted by Oreck about doing a review and giveaway for one of their vacuum cleaners! I don't often do product reviews on my blog; the only time I do them is if there is a product I would actually buy or a brand I really love. This is the case with Oreck.. My mom has always been a die-hard Oreck user and I grew up listening to the sound of their vacuums :)

Oreck graciously gifted me the Oreck Forever Series Gold vacuum and I can honestly say I love it!




I had plans on making a video, but it ended up being so lame that I decided to forgo it. So instead I'll give it to you straight about what I love about this vacuum:

+ It's SO so light. I could hold it up with one hand (and that says a lot.. I have no muscles haha). My other vacuum is an ancient Dyson which weighs a ton.

+ When the vacuum is running, it self-propels. Kind of like a lawn mower!

+ It works flawlessly!! It makes our very light carpet look clean and picks up even the smallest leaves and sticks.*

+ The head is super thin, so it fits under my kitchen cabinets!! This is huge for me because our home is like a breeding ground for spiders and webs and I have an on-going war with them.

+ It works seamlessly from carpet to vinyl to hardwood... there are no settings to be changed.

There is only one con.. there isn't a hose/pull out thing-y. But since the head is so thin and it fits into nooks, it's okay for me.

*Charlotte brings in collections of sticks and leaves on her tail on a daily basis. I love the girl, but she makes our family room so dirty!







Obviously I took these pictures before I vacuumed haha. The Oreck picks them all up, no problem!

Now for the exciting part.... Oreck is giving away a vacuum for you!
