Since we’ve been stuck at home so much lately, our family decided to make the most of those extra hours and do something we’d been planning for quite some time…work on finishing our basement!
Containing two bedrooms for the older boys and a large rec room, we wanted the space to be vibrant and fun. And when Photowall contacted me about reviewing one of its wall murals, I knew I’d found the perfect way to make that happen! [Read more…]
Since moving onto our acreage home almost three years ago, my husband and I have put a lot of work into setting up a connected home that’s easy to monitor and maintain.
Amazon Alexa devices let us listen to music, check the news and talk to our boys in their rooms without yelling up the stairs. Our Sensi WiFi Thermostat lets us adjust temperature on our smartphones or using Alexa. And Arlo security cameras let us remotely monitor our house and property on our smartphones.
But I’m always looking for new ways to make our home life even easier. And so when I got the chance to review the Alfred DB2 deadbolt lock, I knew I’d found my newest must-have connected device! [Read more…]
Staying home day after day with my three rowdy boys means that I’m in often in need of a little more sparkle in my life. But when options for entertainment are limited, what’s a mother to do to add a bit of fun to the daily routine?
For me, the answer is the Drinkmate home carbonator! This innovative new carbonation system has one distinct advantage over most home systems…it can carbonate absolutely anything!
Until I met my husband, I only ever cooked rice on the stove. Adding an appliance just to cook rice didn’t make sense in my tiny kitchen! For Jeremy, though, the rice cooker was an essential. And once I saw how easy it was to use, I was a convert.
But there were still a few things I didn’t like about our standard rice cooker. It often overcooked brown rice. It didn’t have much versatility. And, worst of all, it splattered starchy water on the countertop every time I used it.
There’s no doubt about it, being stuck indoors can get tiring pretty quickly! So while the boys and I relax at home, I’ve been on a mission to find fun family activities that can keep us all entertained.
Watching family-friendly shows and movies is always a popular activity choice in our household. And to give us a big screen experience in the comfort of our own home, ViewSonic recently sent us the M1 Mini LED Projector to review!
