Getting Ready for Summer Fun With DealDash

It’s just barely spring, but I am already excited about summer! Let’s see what we need to do to prepare for the season ahead.

First things first, you need to make sure that your lawn mower is in good working order. If your lawn mower is older or broken, maybe you should think about getting a new one for spring and summer. My lawn has started growing back in again after the cold winter, and my husband is going to need to go out and mow it pretty soon. DealDash has a few different types of mowers, both the gas type and the electric type. If you are in the market for a new lawn mower for this year, how about checking out DealDash’s mowers at this link here.

Since you are checking out the lawn mowers, maybe you should check out the weed edgers and trimmers. DealDash has both the electric and the battery powered type. You might think that edging your lawn isn’t the most fun thing to do, and I would agree with you, however, if you want your lawn to look great it’s something that needs to be done. If you edge fairly frequently, so every two weeks, it’s not that time consuming and can be finished up pretty quickly. If you would like to check out the selection of lawn edgers on DealDash you can do that at this link here.

I’m sure you’re saying “Enough with the yard work, let’s have some fun!” Well don’t you worry, DealDash has plenty of opportunities for fun as well. There is a relatively new product that DealDash has only been offering for a short time, but it’s awesome for summer fun.

The summer fun item that I would like to suggest is one of the new wheeled hoverboards. There are many different makes and models of the wheeled hoverboard, but they all have the same basic functions. They are all a type of portable, rechargeable battery-powered scooter. They also typically consist of two wheels arranged side-by-side, with two small platforms between the wheels, on which the rider stands. The device is controlled by the rider’s feet, standing on the built-in gyroscopic, sensored pads. I have never personally ridden one, but they certainly look like fun, many of the teens in my neighborhood have them and can be seen riding up and down the street having a wonderful time. If you’re interested in checking them out, here is the link to see them on DealDash.

I hope that you are having a lovely spring so far, but let’s get ready for summer! If you’d like to check out even more great things try the Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors, and Games section on DealDash at this link here. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Spring Cleaning With DealDash

Spring is in the air, and for most of us that means that a little spring cleaning is in order. DealDash has your supplies ready.

Now is the time for spring cleaning, and I couldn’t think of a better chore to do right now than steam clean my carpets and get them ready for summer. DealDash has a pair of cleaners that would be great for giving your carpets a deep cleaning this summer – the Bissell Premier Pet 17N4 upright deep cleaner for most of the work, and the Bissell Spot Clean, 5207W to get those stubborn spots that just won’t come up with normal measures. This would be a great combination to win that would make your carpets look and smell just like new. You can find these and even more Bissell cleaning products on DealDash at this link here.

Speaking of vacuums, when is the last time that you vacuumed your basement and garage? This would be a great spring cleaning project for you to tackle while the air is fresh and you are feeling optimistic about the whole cleaning idea. DealDash has a vacuum that is specifically meant to be used to clean the garage. It’s called the Garage Utility Vacuum, and it’s made by Hoover. You can find the GUV at this link here. After you have vacuumed your garage and basement, how about putting up those shelves that have been sitting around waiting for you to get around to them? Once you have put up some nice shelves it will be so much easier to get all of your tools and outdoors things organized. You can find an assortment of garage and basement shelves on DealDash at this link here.

Speaking of getting cleaned and organized, how is your deck or porch looking lately? I know that in the fall my desk becomes a catch-all for some of the things that stay outside in the winter, and it could really look much tidier. When thinking of ideas how I can maximize my space yet still keep all of my items, I came across this resin wicker seat. It can store a lot of small items, it’s capacity is 22 gallons. It’s also very cute and looks great on the deck as well as providing an extra seating option for when our deck chairs are all occupied. If you’re looking for something similar check out this link here.

In case you need something that I haven’t mentioned, DealDash has all of your cleaning supplies covered, – they carry everything from the biggest items like vacuums and steam cleaners all the way down to the most humble of the cleaning supplies – paper towels, dish soap, and spray cleaners. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Nab Yourself a Nabi Jr. on DealDash

Kids love electronics, it’s a fact of life. Instead of letting them use your expensive adult tablet, how about nabbing them a Nabi Jr?

There’s a lot of talk these days about making learning fun, so that kids actually want to participate. The world around us is changing so quickly, when I was in Kindergarten in the mid-1980s the most academic thing that we did was learn our numbers and colors. However, now with a child in Kindergarten myself I see that there are clear, very specific core fundamentals a child must master in order to succeed in Kindergarten. The kids need to grasp these reading, writing and math concepts before entering elementary school. My son was really struggling last year, so much that he had to repeat Kindergarten this year, and I believe that it was because he didn’t learn these core skills in Preschool that he really needed for Kindergarten.

Luckily, the Nabi Jr. tablet that I want to talk about today was designed as a tool, not as a toy. Nabi Jr. is powered by a dual-core processor, including 4GB storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and rotating front and back camera. The operating system is Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, which is really easy to use. The Nabi Jr. also comes pre-loaded with Wings First Steps, which are age-appropriate lessons that help your child master skill sets and build core fundamentals in math, reading and writing. Parents can check progress with N-Site, a program that allows parents to monitor time spent, skill gains and also to identify trouble spots. Do you have a kid who is reluctant to help around the house? Even the most stubborn kids can learn to be responsible and make good choices with Nabi Coins, Chore List and Treasure Box.

In case you’re curious what Nabi Coins are, Nabi Coins is a parent-managed virtual currency that teaches children how to save, earn and spend money. Nabi Coins can be earned when your child completes lessons in the Wings Learning System or finishes their chores in the Chore List program. Your child can use their Nabi Coins to buy stuff in Treasure Box. Pretty cool, right? The Treasure Box is basically an app store where kids can use their hard earned Nabi Coins to purchase new music, movies, games, and more.

If you would like to introduce your kids to a Nabi, head on over to DealDash and check out the upcoming Nabi auctions. If you see one you are interested in, go ahead and hit the blue “Alert Me” button and DealDash will send you a quick email when one becomes available. Good luck and happy bidding everyone, set your Bid Buddies and go out and enjoy the beautiful summer weather!

Rachael Ray Knows Her Way Around a Kitchen!

Who pops into your head when someone mentions the Food Network? I’ll bet Rachael Ray is in your top 3 that you think of! She’s everywhere!

Most people might recognize Rachael Ray as a celebrity chef on the Food Network. She was born on August 25, 1968 in New York, and has been around restaurants all of her life, thanks to her mom who was a restaurant manager when Rachel was young. She is also an author as well as hosting the syndicated daily talk and lifestyle program Rachael Ray, and three Food Network series: 30 Minute Meals, Rachael Ray’s Tasty Travels, and $40 a Day.

One of the most interesting things that I found out about Rachael Ray is that in 2007, The Oxford American College Dictionary announced the addition of the term EVOO, short for extra-virgin olive oil, which Ray had helped to popularize, and credited her with coining the phrase. This phrase started on her television programs, she has used catchphrases such as “E-V-O-O” (extra-virgin olive oil) as well as a few others that haven’t caught on quite as much such as “stoup” (cross between a soup and stew), and “choup” (thicker than a soup but thinner than a chowder).

Why am I telling you all about Rachael Ray? Well, if you like her products then you should see what DealDash has for you! DealDash offers many of her high quality products such as Stoneware Oil and Vinegar Bottles, 3.5-quart stoneware covered rectangular casserole dish, and my personal favorite, the Hard Enamel 10pc Cookware set in 2-tone red. I got this cookware set from DealDash right around the time that I was moving, and it was one of the very first things that I unpacked when I moved in. This set includes: 1 Qt. Covered Saucepan, 2 Qt. Covered Saucepan, 6 Qt. Covered Stockpot, 3 Qt. Covered Saute, 8.5″ Skillet, and 10″ Skillet. All of these items have a nonstick interior. The nonstick interior allows food to slide off and makes cleanup quick and easy. All of them also have soft grippy handles. The rubberized dual-riveted handles are comfortable and oven safe to 350°F. The lids are made of tempered glass – Watch your foods cook without having to remove the lid to keep moisture locked in. Here is a picture of me with my Rachael Ray cookware set!

Head on over to DealDash and check out the upcoming Rachael Ray product auctions. One of my favorite things about the Rachael Ray products is that they come in so many different colors – purple, orange, and red to name a few. If you see one you are interested in, go ahead and hit the blue “Alert Me” button and DealDash will send you a quick email when one becomes available.

Are You “Ready 2 Fish?”

The Ready2Fish company has been around for quite some time, they created the original and complete combo fishing system over 20 years ago to help make fishing affordable, fun and easy for families and the casual fisher.

This contribution will further support the Bright Pink mission of breast and ovarian health education while providing women a new way to be active and enjoy their life even more for a better, brighter future.

A lovely example of one of the Ready 2 Fish pink products would be the The Pink Spin Combo Ready 2 Fish performance series kit. This particular combo was designed for the female angler.The rod is 5-ft 6-in, and is a 2-pc Medium/Light Spin Rod. This rod has a Split Grip Handle. The reel is even pre-spooled to make things even easier to get started.

If you’re just getting started into the fishing hobby, one of the first thing that you are going to need besides a rod and reel is a tackle box. The Ready To Fish 136-Piece 2 Tray Tackle Box would be a great place to start. The pack includes just about everything that you need to get started – 136 sturdy pieces that includes various sizes of tackle box with various trays, jig heads, 3/0 & 7 split shot, poly stringer, lures, 30 size 2 bait holder hooks, two 6″ curl tail worms, various sizes of curl tail grubs, 31 each size 4 & 6 bait holder hooks, one hook disgorger, weights, swivels, and floats.
