Now I dont know about your family but holiday meals have been a tradition since I can remember.  I used to love baking with my grandmother when I was younger.  It feels like yesterday that I would bake side by side with her during the holiday season.  It's because of this, I truly appreciate these times, handed down recipes, traditions, and memories!  This is also the reason, I love spending time in the kitchen with my kids and why our kitchen is the focal point of our home.  I love my kitchen and am always trying out new recipes and gadgets.

Adding Green Features during the Construction of a New Home

*Read my Disclosure
Lots of people who build their own home are overwhelmed by all of the decisions they need to make. They are also overwhelmed by the fact that their life has become completely dedicated to making choices regarding different features of their home. However, it’s important for individuals in this situation not to get bogged down, especially when it comes to making choices that involve the energy efficiency of their new home. This is the perfect time for a person to add some green features. Of course, green features are great for the environment. However, they can also save a homeowner a lot of money in the long run and make the home more marketable if they decide to sell it in the future.

Ozeri Ultra 42 inch Wind Fan - Adjustable Oscillating Tower Fan with Noise Reduction Technology Review

        I hate being hot, period.  I constantly need to feel airflow especially during the Summer time.  And if you know me, you know I despise running things like air conditioning.  I was recently asked to review yet another amazing product from Ozeri, the Ozeri Ultra 42 inch Wind Fan - Adjustable Oscillating Tower Fan with Noise Reduction Technology.

MagicMIL Night Light With Color Changing And Automatic Digital Temperature Display Review

        With constantly looking for ways to encourage the boys to sleep in their own room, you can be sure any type of special lighting catches our eyes. Which leads me to the next product review... I recently worked with the brand MagicMIL on their Chalkboard labels and while researching them, I discovered what seemed to be a pretty cool night light.  Thankfully they agreed to work with me again on their Night Light With Color Changing And Automatic Digital Temperature Display.

Fagor Platino Plus Slow Juicer/Sorbet Maker Review and #Giveaway

        Alright y'all know how I love to cook.  I also love transitioning my family into a healthier lifestyle through cooking and preparation.  That change isn't always easy but the rewarding feeling after is well worth it.  The problem I come up with is making the things that are healthy taste as good as the same usual foods my family eats that aren't.

Ozeri 3x Tower Fan (44") with Passive Noise Reduction Technology Review

        I hate being hot, period.  I constantly need to feel airflow especially during the Summer time.  And if you know me, you know I despise running things like air conditioning.  I was recently asked to review yet another amazing product from Ozeri, the Ozeri 3x Tower Fan (44") with Passive Noise Reduction Technology.

Kagan Dryer Dock and Rapid Defrost Tray Review and #Giveaway

        Being such an eco-enthusiast, I am always trying out new ways of being greener for my family.  Not only do most of these tips and tricks help save me even a little bit of money but they also help ensure my family is living as healthy as possible.  A while back I was able to work with a brand that made this much easier.  Kagan stands by the same thought - "Products that make life better".

BObsweep Pethair Robotic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop Review

        Tell me you aren't someone who wishes your household chores would do things themselves!  I don't care what the reason, it would just be great to have that extra time on my hands.  I bet we could all find something to do instead of cleaning like spending time with our family or children, cleaning something else (doubtful but possible), catching up on a hobby (or sleep), and so much more!

Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan, with Micro-Blade Noise Reduction Technology Review

        Not only do I despise having to crank the air conditioning during the summer but I hate how doing so results in all the kids getting sick so much more frequently.  In an effort to avoid this and being more environmentally conscious with our utility bills, we try to run fans throughout the house.  We've always made sure to have a ceiling fan in each room as well as smaller, stand alone fans if need be.

Blue Rhino - Mr. BBQ Products Review and #Giveaway

        Okay so by now you should know we are big entertainers and quite the party'ers in my household.  We love preparing all sorts of food and drinks for people in our home to enjoy.  Part of it is that I love to clean, set up and get ready for anything (although my husband thinks I'm a nut because of it).  Anyway, We are also a huge grilling family.  Although Michigan doesn't allow for a long summer season, you will find us grilling six out of seven nights and from the first remotely warm day (above 60 degrees outside) to the first day of snow if we can.
