A product and an app recommendation

Two things that I discovered that have changed my life (ok, a little extreme, but I do really like them)- this vacuum and this app.

The dirt devil power air vacuum is awesome on our wood floors. I have been looking for something for a while that was powerful enough to suck up bigger crumbs and food. Well, this is the vacuum. It even picks up cheerios (and we have a lot of those on the floor). We have to be careful not to have any little fingers near it! It does have a cord, but it seems to be long enough to get around our kitchen area fine. We found it at Target for $39.99 which I think is a bargain.

Now my other new love. My fitness pal. It is a free calorie counter that you can access online or download as an app on your phone. You can add friends so you can see each other's progress. It has a barcode scanner that you can use if you have the package of the food, or you can search for something. It is really easy and actually something that I have been using consistently. And, like I said, it is free!
