Thank you BrylaneHome for providing me with the items to review!

Our family is a family of 6.  2 adults and 4 kids.  You won’t find us eating out real often.  We tend to mostly eat at home…which means I do a lot of cooking.  You will see me running around with a label maker trying to get things organized.  And my kids know if I entering their room with a garbage bag in hand, then I am there to declutter and donate items. LOL!  I get an absolute thrill when I get to shop for new cooking/kitchen items.  I experience the same delight when getting new items to organize with.  Imagine my pure delight when I can shop for both of those things AND MORE at BrylaneHome!  They have an enormous selection of items for the kitchen, home and even have amazing furniture items.  They graciously sent me three items for review; a deep fryer, shoe storage boxes and an 8-shelf shoe rack!

This is the deep fryer I was sent.  It is a cool touch deep fryer which is vital for families with kids.  I have a neat waffle maker but the top of it is so hot.  I always burn myself on it.  I positively love the cool-touch walls on this model.  While I still prefer my kids to not be near hot oil, I love knowing if they touch it they will be safe.

The fry basket has a handle that lifts with the push of a button.  The basket is a bit small for cooking for a family of 6, but is just right for smaller side dishes.  If I want to use it to make fries for the whole family, I just usually do two rounds and it makes plenty.  With the built in timer, you are sure to get perfect results each time you use it.  I easily envision frying some okra fresh from our garden this summer.

We were also sent the shoe boxes and shoe shelf.  The girls were so excited to have it up in their room, that I volunteered to attempt to put it together myself.

I was intimidated by all the bits and pieces.  Thankfully a sheet of instructions were included and even had some simple photos.

With fours kids, it is a guarantee that I will get helpers at some point.  Our oldest was quite adept at piecing some items together for me.

I had a few minor mishaps, but all in all it came together easily and with minimal frustrations!

I was surprised just how large this shelf is.  It is also lightweight and easy to move around.  Admittedly this is a shoe shelf, yet it is easy to imagine it also being used for other light items like small craft supplies or storing a few small toys.  There is a specified weight limit per shelf.  This multipurpose shelf can hold 24 pairs of shoes!  The girls gather the boxes, rounded up their shoes and within minutes their closet went from chaos to a-moms-dream-come-true!

BrylaneHome is offering our readers a chance to win the 8-shelf shoe rack of their own!
