That’s right, you can grow lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, and other fresh vegetables on your kitchen counter 365 days a year.

All that means is that it grows plants in water, nutrients, and air (no dirt). Everything you need is included and all you have to do is add water, drop in the pre-seeded grow plugs, turn on the AeroGarden and watch the plants grow. Everything is organically based and 100% natural. The included grow lights evenly and efficiently project light on plants for faster germination, higher yields, and abundant growth. Our local produce/meat market grows the most fantastic herbs and plants year-round and right on the counter top with this marvel.

Fresh, healthy, and out-of-this world technology!

We love the premise that anything that makes our lives easier is a good thing. That theory led us to the Swivel Sweeper – and when we saw it, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it! The Swivel Sweeper is extremely lightweight and you’ll never strain your back picking it up. It glides smoothly across various surfaces and swivels a full 360°. It totally replaces the old dustpan, broom and vacuum. We tested it on tile, carpet and hardwood, and it performed beautifully on all surfaces. Cleaning out the dirt tray is dream-easy, and your hands never touch the muck. Swivel Sweeper’s quad brushes spin at 4000 RPMs. The corner brushes tackle messes along baseboards and into corners, so nothing is left behind. The rechargeable battery gives 45 minutes of continuous cleaning power.

And if you can’t sweep your floors in less than 45 minutes, your next cleaning apparatus might need to be a back-hoe (we're just saying....).

No matter what language you speak, spring is all about flowers! And, the Potted Lily of the Valley Bulb Garden is all about HAPPY! In the "language of flowers", the lily of the valley signifies the return of happiness. Legend tells of the affection of a lily of the valley for a nightingale that did not come back to the woods until the flower bloomed in May. Yet another legend has the Lily of the Valley as a symbol of humility, while others see it as a symbol of a better world.

Whatever the legend, we love this flower and love to share it with friends and family - especially Mom. The Potted Lily of the Valley Bulb Gardens arrive in a pre-budding stage and includes 5 pips of lilies. Give mom a very special spring garden of lilies - trust us, she'll love it!

To Europeans and Canadians, a duvet is a fluffy down comforter, but when Americans say “duvet,” it usually means a cover for that comforter. For some reason, we hadn’t paid much attention to duvets or their covers until recently, but the versatility, economy, convenience -- and all the great new styles -- of duvet covers have recently put them on top of the “Our Favorites” list at ItsGoodStuff.

A duvet cover can be a bright, new protective, very decorative slipcover for your worn out old comforter (or any quilt or blanket). There’s an open end -- usually secured with buttons, ties or a zipper – for ease of stuffing. Unlike down comforters and many quilts that must be dry-cleaned, most duvet covers are lightweight and washable. You just toss them in the laundry with the sheets and pillowcases. The comforter inside stays protected and remains fresh and clean. Replacing a duvet cover (relatively inexpensive) changes the entire feel of a room without massive redecorating or spending hundreds on a new comforter or plush bedspread. A gorgeous duvet cover can hide all kinds of ugly! If you like, the duvet can be the ONLY cover for your bed – taking the place of blankets, quilts and top sheet.  

And an added bonus for you – kids love duvets because making their own beds becomes a total breeze! ?

Here are some favorites we found on a recent cyber-shopping trip:

Angela Adams Lulu Cinnamon Duvet Set

500TC Egyptian Cotton Duvet Set

Aura 7-Piece Duvet Set

There have been a ton of hopeful clutter-controlling books published over the years, but we found Brooks Palmer's new book, Clutter Busting: Letting Go of What's Holding You Back, to be the best of the best so far.  

You likely know if you have a problem with organization. For instance: Do you continue to acquire things that you quickly tire of and have no more room for? This book will change the way you think about your home, the people closest to you, and life in general. The premise -- if something doesn’t add value to your life, it’s probably clutter – can be shocking. You’ll find that this book does not instruct the tired, old “get four boxes, one for keeping, one for charity . . .” And you’re not advised to buy huge plastic containers for your stuff, because you’re getting rid of that stuff, not hiding it in expensive trash cans. You’ll find help here for examining the mental and emotional aspects of clutter, and the ability to correctly identify it as . . . clutter. As you read, your perspective will begin to change from thinking you might possibly need that sack full of gadgets in the future, to realizing it’s just today's clutter, and it will still be tomorrow’s clutter -- and being able to toss it without blinking an eye. More than getting organized, this book is about freeing yourself. 

One word of caution about reading this book: If it didn’t before, the clutter-rich behavior of close friends and family members may begin to wear on you, and you could find yourself strangely volunteering to help them get started on the program. Please feel free pass this book along to them when you are done, and play it forward to freeing the entire world of clutter!
