In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Proctor and Gamble has made Swiffer Dusters available in a limited edition pink. Each starter kit comes with 1 handle and 5 unscented disposable dusters. I had the opportunity to try out the Swiffer Duster in the limited edition color.
I love the pink color. Normally, cleaning products do not come in girly colors, so this was a fresh change. The handle was easy to assemble and directions were provided on the side of the box, which is nice. No digging down in the packaging to find a small slip of paper with insturctions printed on it. The duster itself seemed to pick up dust easily with one wave. The product itself is slinder enough to reach in tight spaces, which allows quicker cleaning. No need to move things around to dust, you can dust around them. I also like that the dirt stays strapped in the dusters. Sometimes with traditional duster I have found the dust to start coming off while I dust. I did not seem to have that problem with these dusters.
There were only 2 small complaints I had with the duster. One is, even though the handle is skinny, I wish it folded to make it more compact to store. I have a small area under my sink, so something shorter, but a little fatter would be easier for me to store. I also had a hard time finding where I initally needed to slide the duster on the handle. It slid on pretty easy, but took me longer then what I would have expected to find the slots.
Overall, I think the easy and effectiveness of this product would make me purchase refills for it. This is also something my kids can use around the house. Say goodbye to your mother's duster.

">Shadow, The Curious Morgan Horse by Ellen F. Feld could become a new favorite in our house. The book was about a horse, who decided to look for adventure after hearing a story from a chicken on the farm. Along the way, on her adventure she meets different animals in the forest, some who are not so nice to her. After deciding home is the best place to be, she meets another animal who helps her make her way back. In the end, the horse got her adventure and a new friend.
The story was longer then what we read in one sitting, so I wasn't sure my girls would sit and listen to it that long. We usually read a books that are shorter in lenghth for bedtime, so I just made this the only book of the evening. It took a couple of pages to catch their attention fully, but after that they didn't move. The illustrations were done very well. They follow the story perfectly and the kids even made a couple comments on some of the pictures.

My girls really liked the Amelia Bedelia's First Day of School by Hermin Parish. They enjoyed the different antics that Amelia did in the book. I, as an adult reading the book, liked reading how she took everything so literal. Every page in the book gave something for both the adult and the kid to enjoy. The illistrations in the book were great as well. My kids liked looking at the pictures while I read the book. If you are a Amelia Bedelia fan, this book will not dissapoint.
Marley Goes to School by John Grogan was an exceptional book as well. I think this has become a new favorite for our family. The illisturations on this book were done well. The storyline was fun and kept the attention of even the youngest of my children. As adults, both my husband and I have enjoyed reading this to our kids. It's one of those books you don't grumble when the kids ask if you can read it for the 10th night in a row. If your looking for a new good book to buy your child, I would recommend this one. It's a great back to school book as well. If we weren't homeschooling this year, it would be a book I would take into school as a suggestion for the teacher.
Both of these books have such great quality that I would give them as gifts. The stories were great and the quality of the pictures were fantastic as well. Any Haper Collins books that I've had the pleasure of reviewing have not failed us in those categories.
