We have a long driveway at our house in which we can not see when people pull in or park. I wanted a way to know when people pull up so I was not caught off guard when someone came to the door. I have been told by many people to try this driveway doorbell system by Bunker Hill from Harbor Freight. Many of my family and their friends have had great results with this system. I even talked to...

We bought this Husky gravity feed spray gun because we were finishing our basement and needed to paint large, uneven surfaces. We figured a pain sprayer would be the easiest way to do this. Unfortunately, this was not the case with this Husky sprayer. Pros:This sprayer is small in size compared to other sprayers. That makes it easy to hold, but still got heavy on your hand after a while. This s...

When I was re-doing a room into a play room for my daughter I knew I wanted it to be a fun place where she would want to spend lots of time. I wanted to do something unique with the walls and remembered seeing chalk board paint on a few home improvement shows. I decided to just get a container of it and see what happened. Right now my little girl is still too little to be able to draw on the wa...

I have always used Bher paint when painting the rooms of my house. Recently I moved to a place where Ace hardware was by far closer than anywhere I could get Bher paint from. I decided to try Ace paint because it was going to be so much simpler to get more paint if I ran out here than driving a half hour. I started with the economy version of Ace paint and it was just OK. I missed my other pain...

We got this toy for our 12 month old girl for Christmas this year. I was looking for something that looked fun without tons of bells and whistles. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like all those toys that talk, sing, and make all kids of weird electronic noises. Not only are they loud and annoying, but they eat through batteries if your little one plays with them all the time. This spira...

My little girl is 14 months old and loves a little battery operated swimming toy we have for her bath. I was looking for something similar and came across these wind up toys. Overall they work good and are entertaining, but I wish they would move a little more. This 3-pack of wind up bath toys comes with a frog, whale, and tugboat. The frog and whale both have little knobs on the bottom, a...

No, I didn't forget to give this a rating, I did actually give it a BIG FAT ZERO! I had wanted to try this energy drink for a while because it was small and seemed to have good stuff in it, but had to wait until I was done breastfeeding. I finally got to try it one morning when I was really tire and it was the worst thing I could have done! I got the new pomegranate flavor hoping it would h...

I got this jumbo pink camo bean bag for my little baby girl when she was about eight months old. At first she didn't really know what to do with it, but now that she is 14 months old she loves it! She likes to dive on it from a running start and after sliding down her little indoor slide. This bean bag is larger than the "typical" bean bag you find in stores, which is why I had to...

I have been wanting one of these for my little girl for a long time. When I saw it on sale at Walmart I knew I just had to get it. The age suggestion on the box said 12 to 36 months, and my little one is now 13 months. She is right on target with the normal height and weight for her age so I figured it was going to be perfect for her. Unfortunately she's going to have to get a little taller...

As a personal trainer, I found it hard to get my point across to people sometimes. I would try and explain how to do an exercise, or it for them, and even help move them through the motion. Sometimes a client just wouldn't get it. And sometimes it's easier for me to know what a certain exercise is doing for the body, but it's hard for me to explain it in terms everyone can understan...

I have been using AirBake cookie sheets for three years now. I got my first one as a wedding gift and loved it so much I asked for more for Christmas. I now have 3 different sized ones and they are all wonderful. These AirBake cookie sheets have a non-stick surface which makes them easy to get cookies off of and very easy to clean. I usually don't even have to use a spatula to get the ...

I LOVE THESE CARDS!!! The first time I ever saw one of these cards was when my mom sent me an Easter card in the mail. Ever since then I have been seeing them and hearing the everywhere! I absolutely love Hops and YoYo on the Hallmark website. I make my own cards, so I never looked to see if Hops and YoYo were on physical cards too. My mom and I send the e-cards back and forth quite often and t...

My hubby and I recently took a trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. When I booked our flight and resort online, it gave me the option to purchase ground transportation from the airport to the resort. There was only one company option, so I decided to buy it to make the trip easier once we got to the island. Coco Tours was the only company we could choose from at the time. When we arriv...

My husband and I were looking to get an ATV we could both ride and enjoy. He ended up getting us a 2005 Yamaha Wolverine. We could both ride on it at the same time, which you're not really supposed to do, but we did fit. It has a foot lever that you switch gears with, but it is basically automatic. I'm not good at driving stick shifts, but there's no clutch to worry about,...

When my hubby and I were moving for the first time, we decided to rent a small unit from U-Haul. We didn't really need much more room so we rented the smallest one we could. As far as space, this was a great size. As far as hauling and price, it was horrible!Pros: Size- We were able to get quite a bit in this trailer. We did not even have to pack it to the top! We had plenty of room for mor...

My baby received this glow seahorse for Christmas this year and we all love it! She is only 5 weeks old right now but already loves to look at when she's in her crib. It's hard to buy a gift for a baby so young, but this was the perfect thing for her!This seahorse is like the glowbugs that I remember from when I was little. It is a soft stuffed animal with a soft plastic belly. The bell...

I have flown on may different airlines in my days and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE Continental Airlines. My favorite plane they have would be the Boeing 767. This plane is used on longer distance flights mainly. I have flown on the smaller planes of Continental Airlines and they are great too. The seats on all the planes are more comfortable then any other plane I ave been on. They are ...

We have two of these carbon monoxide detectors in our house. We received both of them as gifts, but would have gladly paid for them ourselves just to have them in our house. We keep one on each level of our house for total protection. Thankfully, we have never had to use these to alert us of a CO leak. You can test them to make sure they are working though. They put out a high pitched ring...

Do you like hot chocolate? If you do, you've never really had hot chocolate until you have tried Mexican hot chocolate. Nestle's Abuelita hot chocolate is delicious! I have been drinking it since I was a very young girl. With this type of hot chocolate, you can make just one cup or a whole pot to share with others (or drink for yourself later). It come...

When my hubby and I got married we moved out of state and had to find a house in a hurry. We couldn't afford a huge house, but didn't want an old farm house. We ended up finding this modular home and were impressed with the size and look of the inside. From the outside, the house doesn't look like a double wide trailer like some people think. It looks like a long, one story, ranch-s...
