We are getting ready to move to a new house and we were looking for an inexpensive TV to put in my son's new playroom. My husband saw The Sharper Image Wonderwall Entertainment Projector at Belk on sale for $64.99 and thought it would be a cool inexpensive alternative. With the Wonderwall you are able to hook up video games, cable boxes, DVD players and other kinds on components to it ...

My new house has hardwoods, Travertine and ceramic tile though out. When we first moved in, I had no idea how I was going to clean it all and what supplies I was going to need to do it right. My husband and I spent hours online researching the best tools to use and we decided to give the Shark Deluxe Steam Mop a try. The Shark Steam Mop cleans floors by heating plain water into a steam and...

When my daughter first heard about My Twinn dolls, she begged us to get her one. We thought it was a really cool idea and since it was the only big thing she asked for that Christmas, Santa brought her one.My Twinn Dolls are custom made dolls designed to look like the child they are for, hence the name MY Twinn. To create a doll, you go through a series of steps to pick features that most match...

Our new house came with a Rheem Fury Rheemglas Energy Miser water heater model # 82v52.2 It has a 50 gallon tank with both upper and lower heating elements and is 240 volts.  This is the first electric water heater we have ever owned and we were not familiar with the Rheem brand. We did some research on them and found that they are the number one name brand of water heaters and a favorite...

It was love at first sight when we saw the Samsung 46" Luxia LED 6000 TV at the store. This television has the most beautiful, clear picture we have ever seen in a TV. The picture is so good, everything appears to be in 3D and you feel like you can reach in and touch it. It has a 120 HZ scan rate, double what used to be available in LCD TV's, which reduces motion blur in fast moving ac...

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is when I get to bring out my Christmas dinnerware. A few years ago a line of dishes came out from a company called International China titled "A Christmas Story". I fell in love with the idea and the look of them immediately. They are the creation of an artist named Susan Winget and when the set is complete, you have the entire story of t...

My new office/craft room has a funky hip look to it and I needed an office chair that fit in. I searched high and low for one that looked different from all the basic black chairs out there and I found just the look I wanted in the Divoga modern white bucket chair. The chair has a 70's inspired rounded bucket shape and is covered in a faux white leather upholstery. It sits on a chrome ...

What do you get when you mix a Convertible, a SUV and a Transformer? The answer is the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.Meet Bumblebee (yes, we name our cars), he is a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4 X 2 and he is a whole lot of fun. Yes, I know in this day of high fuel prices that he was probably not the most fuel efficient vehicle we could have chosen, but it is the car my husband has wanted for&n...

This BD digital thermometer was given to me as a gift when my son was born. My previous thermometer was a Braun Thermoscan ear thermometer and I hated it. It made a loud clicking noise when you pressed it for a reading and the readings were very inconsistent on temperatures that were taken even minutes apart. I was a little unsure of using a standard oral thermometer on a squirming child but to...

When my husband and I were engaged, we were both in need of new watches. We decided we wanted  a matching set so we started looking around for some we could both agree upon. It was on a trip to Disney World that we found exactly what we wanted. We were both Disney fans and love the look of Tag Heuer watches but the prices of the watches are so high. The most expensive w...

This review is about my favorite hair color, Couleur Experte by Loreal Paris. I have been coloring my hair for over 20 years now and in that time I have tried most of the leading brands of hair color. I first tried this one about 3 years ago and since I have to color my hair often (thanks MOM)  I have used it several times and still tried a few other brands in between, of them all thi...

Our Uniden Cordless Telephone and Answering Machine is an outstanding cordless phone system that we got for an excellent price. When we moved into our new house, our old cordless phone did not have the range to cover the main floor of our house let alone the upstairs and the basement. The sound quality was absolutely horrible and we lost calls often. We started looking around for a new set...

The Monarch of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's oldest and smallest ship currently in it's fleet. This was our first time sailing on her but we have been on her sister ship the Sovereign of the Seas twice before. The ships are very similar in layout and design. The Monarch was once the biggest and most advanced ship of her time but even though she is now the oldest, she is still holdi...

It's hard to write a review about a product you have in your home but don't actually use but I am going to give it a try. Our home has 6 Kiddie 120v AC Wire-In smoke alarms model # i12040. This model has a 9 volt battery backup and alarm memory. The battery compartment is located on the front of the alarm and can be easily changed without having to take it down.All the smoke alarms...

The Apple Time Capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi Hard drive is a hard drive external backup unit and router all in one. My husband recently purchased us his and her MacBook Pro's. At that time he also purchased the Time Capsule. I am not very technical when it comes to computers so I will share my experience along with the more technical information from the packaging which I will try to explain t...

I have been helping my ex-husband decorate his house since he moved in. When we got to the downstairs bathroom, I was dreading working in there. I knew he wanted to repaint it but my past experiences with painting bathrooms have not been pleasant ones since they have so many built in obstacles that have to be worked around and getting a smooth coat of paint up is hard to do.Since we knew w...

I grew up in South Florida and every home we had down there had at least 1 sliding glass door. If we were ever locked out of the house, the first door we would try to get into was one of the sliding doors because they could be easily shaken and pushed off their tracks. My father used to take broom stick handles and put them down on the bottom tracks to keep the door from pushing open as easily,...

After a very disappointing shopping trip at the Downtown Disney Marketplace where we could not find anything interesting to purchase, we decided to let my son build his own dinosaur at the T-REX cafe. The T-Rex cafe is a theme restaurant located in the Downtown Disney Marketplace that has a store attached to it where you can purchase dinosaur merchandise including building your very own dinosau...

For my daughters recent birthday one of her friends gave her a Hallmark card that features the animated characters Hoops and Yoyo. It is one in a series of cards that Hallmark offers featuring these characters and their friends. I had never seen this line of cards before then and I have to admit, it is really cute.The outside of the card is printed with a picture of the character...

When we go to theme parks or outdoor activities like concerts or sporting events, I like to bring along something to keep us dry incase of a sudden rain storm. I am not a big carry an umbrella around type of person and I like to keep it small and simple so I purchase these plastic rain ponchos from the dollar store and they are perfect.They come 2 to a pack and are big and roomy ...
