Oh yes, I think you can! And now I can too. My blender died while I was making my breakfast smoothie…sooo much fun. I called my brother and said “What kind of blender do you have?” He told me, and this is what I got. See how easy all that product research was?
This Oster Classic [...]

Organization is my new middle name. Every since I bought doubles of several things I didn’t realize I already had, I’m clearing the clutter, baby! This phone/PDA charging station is my newest find.
