Trustech Table Fan

Raise your hand if you sleep with a fan on? Or if you cannot sleep if there's not a fan on? Our house has this problem. None of us can fall asleep if there is not a fan on. I also like to keep a fan on when I am working in my home office or taking pictures. All those lights used to light the background or pictures really heats up a room fast. Having a small, powerful fan can make a significant difference.  And if the fan is small that is an added bonus because space can be tight when taking ...

Protecting Your Family and House at the Same Time

Vmaisi Pressure Gate Wall Protector

Even though Peyton is no longer a baby or toddler we still have baby gates up throughout our home. We have pets. Need I say more? I use a baby gate on the laundry room door to keep the dogs from getting in and eating the cat food. I use a baby gate on the steps to keep the dogs from running up and down the steps all the time. And I use a baby gate on Peyton's bedroom door so she can keep her door open but keep the pets out. They are literally a lifesaver for us. But I don't want to ruin my ...

Christmas in July with Precious Moments Nativity Advent Calendar

As a little kid, I remember loving the countdown to Christmas. It was always so much fun! We'd mark the days off on a calendar and participate in fun holiday activities like baking cookies, singing Christmas songs and Christmas parties. Now that I'm a mom, I like to count down the days until Christmas with Peyton. But I also have another memory from my childhood, Precious Moments.
