When I was growing up my siblings and I would just put a thin blanket flat on the floor, then dump out all our legos and when we were done we would pick up all the sides of the blanket and dump the legos back in the bin they went it. Super easy and free because for sure everyone has a thin blanket at home. Similar idea, but way more affordable, and without sides so we could really spread our legos out to see them.
I've never done this myself, but as soon as Rachel explained the theory of the Swoop Bag, I was thinking that a blanket could do be used for the same purpose.
We need Lo to start a celiac food trying page!! It would be perfect too to have Rachel say her "gluten privilege" opinion too to compare!! xoxo celiac sister
I dunno if it’s celiac food friendly but the Blueberry Cobbler ONE protein bars are AMAZING!! I had to hunt for new protein bars when Zone bars went out of business and I tried soooo many and the only one that was delicious and healthy was the Blueberry Cobbler ONE bars. I don’t have celiac just lots of food allergies so hopefully it works for celiac. They are gluten free but I don’t know what else is required
Just put a bedsheet on the floor and play lego on that. Then just pick up the corners and pick up and put back in the bin. Much bigger playing surface too.
@@caroleberreur9585 While watching the video I was thinking, "there's already a similar product out there that everyone has and is much cheaper" and I just could not think of what it was. I was definitely trying to think of a fitted sheet 😅 I was just putting the sheets on my bed tonight too so I should have known
As a casual CrossFit-er, i tried Whoop for a month and basically all it did was tell me I wasn’t getting enough rest and for something I had to pay for monthly that didn’t even tell me the time, it was absolutely not worth it. I got an Apple Watch and it’s way more useful.
And the Apple Watch is not that much more expensive! Especially given the fact that you don’t have a $300+ annual subscription requirement!! 😮 I love my Apple Watch!
Not sure where you live but my son’s coeliac and here in England we have amazing gluten free options we’ve made so many swaps for our whole house and love them
Literally me tonight complaining to my husband because I tried the smallest nibble of a non-gf pastry and now I’m covered in hives. Still pretty new to my gluten allergy and I push the limits some time…needless to say I think it’s getting worse. 😅 lesson learned. Def sad and weird…😭
Funny story. We went to see a new Dr for my son and he had the whoop on his ankle and his pant leg pulled up and I thought it was a police ankle monitor and internally freaked out. Thankfully my husband knew what a whoop was and calmed me down after the appointment 😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️
Him being a pediatric doctors makes it that much worse/more hilarious, too! 😂😂😂 As someone who has also never heard of that product, I would’ve thought the same thing! Unfortunately I don’t think anyone else in my life knows it exists either, so I 100% would have continued believing that doctor was a criminal and would’ve found a different doctor! 😅 Seriously though, that product needs a bit of a redesign because it looks WAY too similar to an actual police ankle monitor rather than a health tracker (obviously they don’t look identical, but its close enough that most people are going to assume that’s what it is if they haven’t heard of the brand). I’d be so paranoid about anyone seeing it and thinking I was a criminal under police surveillance!
Please do one on the comfrt hoodie and pant sets. I see ads for them everywhere, all positive reviews, not one bad... which send up red flags for me. Would love to buy if I knew they were legit and cozy. Thanks so much, love your videos.❤❤
I haven’t heard of a single one either. For me at least, I think it’s because I don’t have kids and am not a homemaker. Since almost all these products are one of those, I assume that’s why I don’t know of them.
Rach, I can’t place my finger on it, but your hair looks really, really nice in this video! Your hair always looks nice but today it looks exceptionally beautiful.
Again something I came up with in the 80s I took a large round plastic table cloth with the backing(?) and put grommets around the edge. Threaded a lightweight rope around it and my sons dumped their legos in it! Lasted for years. lol maybe $15 in materials.
Hi there!!! In terms of spill proof water bottles, Simple Modern makes a tumbler cup for kids that DOES NOT spill. Has a silicone straw. Easy to clean. Comes in so many colors and prints. Super cute. Worth checking it out!!
I never realized how much Lo and Christopher look alike. I have only one question, do they make an adultpod? That thing looks very comfortable. Great product review 🙂
Hi Rachel!! Love love love both your channels!! Would it be possible to maybe do a review on some popular Amazon suitcases? For adults and kids? Thank you!!! 💕 Oh! And maybe some good travel type hacks and helpful items to make younger kids' plane/car/train journeys more enjoyable for them and easier for the parents???! Thank you!!
Loved having Lo there for the celiac opinion ❤️ as a fellow celiac I appreciate it. Should have her on more often or if she wanted start her own channel
Honestly here in Europe we have Schär glutenfree bread mix and glutenfree cake mix and they are SOOOOOO good!!! But they aren't low fodmap anymore... So IBS folks are still sad because the universal mix isn't as good ... Lentils in low % apparently make a big textural difference in the mix
That cup you got for Julia is nice! And the pattern isn’t “childish”, so she can use that thing for years. The Swoop would be a nice gift for grandparents. They might not want big bins for toys, but that’s an easy put away and stash in a closet. You could even use it for pet toys. If you like putting out toys for your dog or cat, but don’t want them out all the time, Swoop them and stash them in the corner. I love that Ninja has a signature “chirp”. My Foodi makes the same sound. This version would be perfect for people living in an apartment where space is at a premium.
So, have you tried Katz food products? I think they're mostly desert items. But gluten, dairy, and nut free! And it looks like they ship in Canada too (scrolling to the bottom of the website allows selecting USD or CAD)
As far as the swoop bag goes, I bought a different version on Amazon last Christmas for my son and it zips up instead! He was 3 and was able to do it all by himself. That's where we store his little Legos and he knows they have to stay on the playmat when playing. It's worked great all year!
If you want to make your own, you could get a tarp at Harbor freight (they in Canada?) which already has grommets in it, and run Paracord, which they also carry, through the grommets. Much bigger and pretty cheap.
We have that pouch here in Australia. Different name but same concept. It called play pouch and some of them have roads and houses printed on the inside.
The SlumberTot should fully sponsor this video because no one sells something better than someone who genuinely loves it! My youngest is 9 (😭) and you almost had me convinced that we needed one! LOL
The yeti kids cup has a straw and comes in 3 sizes! :) also they offer engraving now! So my kids’ cups have their names engraved in them which is super helpful for school, as several of their classmates have yeti cups and some have the same colours as my kids’
Air fryers are such a small space and the convection heating is so efficient it is not necessary to preheat them as it will reach temperature almost immediately.
I have 2 of those cups. Ours are crappy quality. I have the big highland cow one and my son has the smaller train one. They take FOREVER to ship. Then my cup had a cracked lid. It took TWO months to get a replacement lid and then they sent the small leak proof lid instead of the plastic one. My sons cup had a super loose handle and since he's almost 2 that was difficult for him so my husband had to semi break the handle so he could tighten the lid. The design on mine also chipped in a spot after the first wash. I also am not 100% sure they genuinely are a small buisness. His is leak proof and they keep drinks cold but for the cost I wouldn't buy them again nor do I recommend them.
Have you already tried the foamy bubbly face pads that are EVERYWHERE? They are supposed to help with dark spots and I think they have turmeric in them. Those would be cool to try out if you haven’t tried them yet.
Didn't have many rules when my kids were little..... But, rule # 3. - No slime, no play dough, No LEGOs. Seems harsh,,,, maybe so. Saved my feet and saved me from going totally off the deep end. & No Jacks. This was in the 1980s & the early 90's. They kept those things over at their grandparents & their dad's house. Worked so good!!!
It's not really a fake sugar it's a sugar alcohol. It's called erythritol. It's not like a NutraSweet or an equal artificial sugar. But it probably doesn't taste the same as regular sugar.
I would like to know how that band compares to a band like from the brand Amazfit? How much more date do you get for that enormous amount of money 🤑 And with a smart watch you get a lot more features 🤔 Would love to know 😊
Ninja air fryer doesn’t need preheating, that’s the best part about them☺️ Spoiler alert, the cups are disappointment in my opinion.. leeks easily, on one of the lids the straw is quite short as well and the lids on both of mine are hard to close, they keep turning around.. I wouldn’t personally recommend. 👀
I was really excited when I bought the Flings. I bought them for low carb eating. They’re very expensive. They are way more cakey than a Pop-Tart which is probably the almond flour and protein. To me they are WAY too sweet. If they were cakey but cheaper or if they were expensive but delicious I’d be in. But they’re a pass for me. 😢😁
I feel that ‘gluten privilege’ comment so much. people ask me if things are as good as normal and I’m like, it’s been over 10 years. I have no idea anymore. 😂
Love MadeGood products! As someone else that eats gluten free, I agree with Lo that once you have ate gluten free for a while your perspective of the taste of food changes.
I have a question for Racheal: How is it? You can put almond oil on your skin but can not consume it. I don't understand how a nut allergy works. Please help me understand.
What type of straw does the cup at the end have? My 6 year old is on the spectrum, and trying to find a cup for school has been a struggle he chews through half the straws or it's not leak proof and it's just a mess.

Agreed! Team celiac here too! Refreshing to hear a celiac review food. I feel so heard lol I’m totally using gluten privilege as a term now 😂 love it
Yes please!! And to then adapt and compare the recipes you try!
Fellow celiac jumping on this!!!

Rachel, the baby blue is your color! You look like you are glowing and so fresh and pretty! 😄🌟
It’s so nice having Lo back from mat leave ❤
Happy to see Lo, it has been a while since sh3 made an appearance on the channel🥺
The bag would work until my kids only picked up one strap and dumped them out all over the ground and we all cry.😂😂
Please do one on the comfrt hoodie and pant sets. I see ads for them everywhere, all positive reviews, not one bad... which send up red flags for me. Would love to buy if I knew they were legit and cozy. Thanks so much, love your videos.❤❤
It funny how these are overly sponsored and I haven't heard of half of them before...
I haven't heard of a single one

$25 a month for some creepy digital company to follow you everywhere you go? Hard pass.
In my younger years ( the eighties) we had this swoop. Just made it ourselves. With thinner material, because that "swoopes" better.
Rach, I can’t place my finger on it, but your hair looks really, really nice in this video! Your hair always looks nice but today it looks exceptionally beautiful.

We had a Lego Duplo Brick Sweeper (the old 1991 red one) and that worked really well to pick up Legos. Made it actually fun to do.
Loved having Lo there for the celiac opinion ❤️ as a fellow celiac I appreciate it. Should have her on more often or if she wanted start her own channel
You can buy different straps for the whoop, just for side info
I’ve set up a small tent in the house for my son. It worked really well and can save you money if you already have the tent
Your videos are my favorite to watch. I save them for when I can settle in and enjoy
Me too!
Ooo, been a while since you've done one of these! Clicked the Like button right after you introduced the theme. ☺

I just got my 2nd mod pod that you recommend a while ago! I lost mine and can't live without it! 🥰
That's a type of vape😂 you're way I the wrong comment section
@robinnicole4466 they meant nod pod, it was just a typo. You have multiple typos in your comment, so you should understand lol
I look forward to every video you put out. Thank you!!

The Ninja air fryer thing reminds me of the 90s rotisserie chicken cooker thingy. Not the rack kind that rotates.

22:23 Classic Ninja sound. 😊
I need lots of vids with Lo and gluten free foods. On another note, Flings are decent in the microwave but Katz has the best poptart comparison.
“All gf food is sad and weird” yes how true is that but apparently the last year I can only eat sad and weird food so I’m here for it 😂😂
I've found some items that aren't sad and weird. I have a bakery near me that tricks people who do eat gluten.
Please test the ninja combi.... it's changed my life
That swoop bag, I have a smaller version as a makeup bag, maybe that’s where they got the idea
Sooo do they make a Slumber Tot for adults?! Caaaaaaause yes please haha
The gnocchi or cheese curds, not sure which, since we did not get a recipe, looked tasty.
Has anyone tried The Powder Shampoo? It looks great for travelling but I wonder how good it is. Would love to see a Rach review!!
I feel the sad and weird gluten free comment to my soul. Also on the Made Good granola bar train. 😂
as a fellow Celiac, we love the made good stuff!! 🚂
Air fryers are such a small space and the convection heating is so efficient it is not necessary to preheat them as it will reach temperature almost immediately.
Activity tracker oh no I’m not paying anybody money to track my activity 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love your videos Rachel!! ❤❤❤❤
22:15 the Crispy reminds me of the NuWave countertop oven.
Please Please do a Mukbang with your husband and share your love story and how you guys met !
Love your videos. Saying hi from Canada 🇨🇦
You absolutely need to try the ninja slushi! It's right up your alley and amazing!
I recently bought an air fryer and hoped thst you might do an air fryer video at some point. So I'm super excited for the video!

For the water bottle have you tried the kids simple modern? They have a “ captive” straw technology
I haven’t see any of these and I love them!!! lol definitely getting the cup at the end for a Christmas present for my nephew!!
We just use a bed sheet to clean up toys the exact same way!
Christopher: cook salmon😂 until you see the white stuff come out the side and then stop right away. It's perfectly soft and juicy.
Love you and your family! You make my day!
Over consumption at its peak 😂
Would love to see you try the ninja coffee machine
I have the ninja dual and I love it. Boils water, frother, pot, iced coffee and several hot settings for coffee.
Yay literally came to TH-cam for your Saturday videoooo
An hour after seeing the ninja product on tiktok you upload this video😂😂 i genuinely thought well Rachel needs to try this😂
You need to try Promise brand bagels! And promise bread/wraps.
So yummy. (For Lo)
I live in Florida. It’s wayy too hot in summer to use an oven. The ninja might work well for me.
I just got my ninja crispi i made frozen panko shrimp they came out amazing. We'll have to test more.The food items for a better review
Are the glass bases dishwashersafe. I hate that you can't really clean a full sized air fyer
@@rockyg6483 everything, but the power pod
Ok I bought flings because I have a gluten allergy and thought they were soooo gross. Also they’re not fun on the GI system. A lot of fake sugar in it
It's not really a fake sugar it's a sugar alcohol. It's called erythritol. It's not like a NutraSweet or an equal artificial sugar. But it probably doesn't taste the same as regular sugar.
100% that swoop bag my daughter would try to pick up her cousins in it 😂😂🤦🏻♀️😂
I would like to know how that band compares to a band like from the brand Amazfit?
How much more date do you get for that enormous amount of money 🤑
And with a smart watch you get a lot more features 🤔
Would love to know 😊
Frownies - I'm 52 and apparently I'm supposed to use these according to my feed. 😂😂😂

Really, I thought it was a little tone deaf! I can't believe she said that.
my 'tism would have a field day sorting out those legos.
It's crazy how similar your voice is to Chris's sister! If I hadn't known better I would have thought she was your sisiter!
When my nephew was 2 1/2 we got him his first hot wheels in a happy meal and he's since accumulated hundreds. He is now 24 and they are in a big bins.
Where did you get the tall planter in the background??
You switching between the singular and plural of "LEGO" has me like 🤪
Lo looks super cute in this video
It is so frustrating when products like Fling advertise Keto when nothing with 33 total gm of carb is keto and the dirty ingredients is atrocious.
I looked up ingredients of strawberry flings vs strawberry legendary. Flings is much more natural than legendary. Legendary is also shit.
Weird question but I love your phone case! Can you tell us where you got it?
Ooooh I need to look at the pop tarts for my celiac son. 😍
Love MadeGood products! As someone else that eats gluten free, I agree with Lo that once you have ate gluten free for a while your perspective of the taste of food changes.

Have you tested the oura ring?
What is on that salmon🤤 or do we have to wait for that also?! Lol ❤
😂 you just answered my question so nvmd lol
What type of straw does the cup at the end have? My 6 year old is on the spectrum, and trying to find a cup for school has been a struggle he chews through half the straws or it's not leak proof and it's just a mess.
