If there's one thing that is consistent in my home it is our love for music. From the time we get up in the morning until around dinner time, music plays and fills our home. My girls love waking up to their favorite Disney tunes and I love having an upbeat rhythm to keep me company while I get through the dishes and laundry. While my girls don't really think about the quality of the sound that flows throughout our home, I'm quite picky and can't ...
For the Home
Decorating Our New Back Yard with Oriental Trading
Having two little girls means I get to live out my childhood all over again with them. I feel blessed to have a second chance at all the things I thought were amazing and fun at their age, and after moving to a much bigger home in the 'burbs and having a backyard, we get to decorate with some girlie touches. My husband is totally outnumbered, but I don't think he minds when we add splashes of pink and purple everywhere! Now that we are chipping ...
Home Surveillance Cameras With Q-See
I noticed something interesting in the past two years- many houses are sporting surveillance cameras outside their homes. I noticed this new trend even more after my husband and I started looking for a new intercom system to replace our old unit that came with our house. Shortly after, I witnessed 2 of my neighbors putting in a similar system, and as I walked around our new neighborhood with my girls, I counted quite a few houses with cameras. ...
We Hosted a #Pier1OutdoorParty. Enter to Win a Gift Card! #Giveaway #Sponsored #MC
It's our first year with a real back yard and my husband and I had so much to do to prepare for a summertime of fun and new memories. We did a complete backyard renovation by cutting down all the clutter and excess trees, laying down a new patio, and a fresh new layer of sod for gorgeous grass. It was a month long project that felt like an eternity, but as soon as it was over, I was ready to decorate! A new patio set is in our future, as well as ...
Never Run Out of Ice At Your Next Party Again!
It seems that my house is always full of guests! It's not a bad thing, I actually enjoy having friends and family over, and all our birthday parties are celebrated in our home too. One nuance we faced each time we would have a party was not having enough ice. My husband would always have to run out to get more, and we couldn't stock up on enough before the parties because of freezer space. Thankfully there is an appliance out there to make our ...
Honeywell Wifi Smart Thermostat Review and #Giveaway!
Not only are homes becoming more energy efficient, but they are also becoming more technologically advanced. Smart televisions, wireless speakers, and digital thermostats all have Wifi options and make life just a little easier. When my hubby and I bought our first home a few months ago, we knew that we would want a thermostat that we could connect to using an app on our phone. After doing a lot of research, we came across Honeywell products. It ...
Tackling Stains with OxiClean #MC #sponsored
If you do laundry, then you know how frustrating getting stains out can be. Kid's don't often think twice about permanently staining their clothes, and they also don't understand why they can't wear their favorite outfit again after it's been stained. I can't prevent stains from happening in my home, but I can use OxiClean to get the stains out. The first time I heard of OxiClean was on an infomercial over 10 years ago. My mom believed ...
