You know you’re a mom when…

Black ‘n Decker Hand-held vacuum…your dustbuster is one of your most prized possessions!

Seriously- is there anything more “mom-ish” than getting out your handy little vacuum from the kitchen cupboard to clean up all the leftover bits from breakfast? And why is it that, for some insane reason, I actually enjoy it? Crouched down on my knees under the table, getting all the remnants of the past meal (and maybe a runaway pea from the previous night)… it is exhilarating! Ta-da! Look how quickly my house looks tidy again!

Okay, maybe I’m going too far (or maybe it’s because I’m an overzealous neat-freak), but I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it.

I got mine from John Lewis after Esther told me I couldn’t leave the store without buying it. “You must have this,” she told me. “I don’t have space for it in my flat,” I responded. “It mounts on the wall in any closet or cupboard,” she said. So I bought it; that was all it took– It was some of the best advice she’s ever given me!

This Black & Decker hand-held vacuum is cordless and charges while mounted. It can handle both wet and dry spills, and anything in-between (applesauce, baby food, soggy cheerios, etc)!

I use mine EVERY day. (Okay, three times a day…but who’s counting)??

I had fun last Friday pulling mine apart and cleaning it! You never realise how much dust actually gets clogged up inside. So thats even sadder cleaning your dust buster…..

(is that what it’s called? In Dutch it’s called a crumb thief!)

I had one years ago…and ws not too impressed. BUT maybe it was not powerful enough….I promised Esther I was getting one too!

You know, the first one I got was the cheepest one (I’m Dutch, after all) – and it was BAD! More air was blowing out of it than was actually sucked in! So I went back and got the most expensive one, and it’s brilliant.
So when you go and get one – don’t be Dutch!

Seriously excited, how sad is that! I love that it can do but wet and dry. I do have to say that my favorite thing at the moment is the swiffer sweeper vac. As always, brilliant find.
