Magic is in the Clay Pot

I am proud to share my well researched secret life saver -VitaClay VM7900-8 Smart Organic Multi-Cooker/Rice Cooker, Brushed Stainless Steel and Black . Among my other helpers, this one stands on its own. Its uses are numerous. Its benefits are endless - all natural unglazed clay pot, rice (3 types), stew, soup, yogurt modes, and time delay!

I think I have read all of the reviews that exist online before making this purchase. I honestly researched this product top to bottom for 2 weeks and compared to everything else. But no other cooker could beat it and do all it does. My husband even made jokes that I spent too much reading about Vitaclay.

When the box finally arrived (I ordered shipping to USA), I was ecstatic. It was delayed, so I had to wait extra 2 weeks which was quite torturous.

So far, I have made several dishes which turned out amazing - soups, rice (wild, white, brown), buckwheat, barley, steel cut oats, beef stew, etc. The best part? I put all ingredients in, and take kids to the park. When we get back, our lunch is ready and hot. Turns off automatically. The 8 cup capacity serves our family of 4 a good portion - we can have leftovers for next day no problem.

You can make all slow cooker recipes in it - in twice less the time. This is super convenient when kids get hungry every 3 hours as opposed to six. If you are one busy woman, it's a must have!

Motherhood Life Helpers

This month was very busy for me. We had lots of family Birthdays (including mine on 31st), packing and preparing for the upcoming 2 week vacation, plus doing some house purchases (on that later) and dealing with deliveries and some damaged items (urr).

I could not imagine my life as a mother without certain items. They are my helpers and save me time and time again. I would not be able to survive 50 years ago. Or perhaps, my life would so much simpler.

I wanted to share my top life helpers. They keep my sanity. I can trust them and rely on them every single day along with these household savers that I already wrote about.

1. My car (with remote starter and tinted windows). I am not fond of its design, to be honest I think the front is very ugly. But.  It is amazing on gas. It drives well and smooth. Excellent in winter. It never had a problem in 4 years with regular maintenance. For a small SUV, it fit so much, items you could never imagine - drywall, lots of boxes with tile, single mattress, crib, huge TV, large painting canvas, and so on.   I am a little sad to say goodbye this year (my lease is over).

2. Samsung HE washer/dryer Duo. Love you guys. You are my everyday savers. (Am I addressing my appliances?)  Love the option of time delay, you can just put laundry in, and the wash cycle starts automatically.

3. NEW fridge (by Samsung as well). We just bought it this month from Future Shop, and I cannot be happier. Seriously, this is how a fridge can make me feel. Our old fridge (top freezer) is in the garage, excellent backup storage. The old Frigidaire ("kindly" provided by our builder) was so not well designed, freezer was awkward, shelves made of wire so everything leaked from top to bottom, loud noise, and so on.  No more climbing inside the fridge by baby David.

 

I did not think I would like French door model. But so far so good. And absolutely love LED lights, bottom freezer (with roll out shelving), glass shelves, and even ice maker!

 

 

4. iPhone. Internet, email, Google Maps, Calendar, appointments, music, and so much more. I still have the old 3GS, but it works just fine. Cannot leave without it.

 

 

 



5. Did I mention my husband? My biggest life helper, cannot live without him.

 

Here are some beautiful August flowers that caught my eye today.
