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...

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...

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...

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...

When we were looking to get an outside patio swing, we were looking for something that would stand up to strong weather conditions and look different from everyone else's typical two person swing. We found exactly what we were looking for in the Garden Treasures Baja 3-Person Sling Garden Swing. It's a great swing for a great price. The material is made of a strong flexible sling fabric...

I first saw these sandals at the very beginning of spring. I was drawn to them because they looked really cool and thick with padding. When I picked them up I was amazed to find out that the sole was padded with memory foam! I thought these have to be really comfortable! I took a look at the price and put them right back. I thought there was no way I was paying $25 for a pair of sandals! I kept...

The Harbor breeze Baja fan is quite a fan! We purchased the aged bronze model, but it also comes in a white and brass finish. The fan blades have a total span of 52 inches and have a beautiful faded brown and tan look. This fan looks very much like the typical "tropical cabana fan" you think of when you picture a tropical resort. It did take quite a bit of time to install th...

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 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...

My hubby and I decided to go on a cruise to Alaska in 2006. His parents decided to join us on the tip also. I did all the research on the price, dates, and travel options. I ended up finding the best deal on Travelocity.com. I had used this site before with no problems, so I had no hesitation on booking with them. My in-laws were at our house the day we booked online. I purchased my trip first,...

When I was registering for my baby shower, I cam across this wipe warmer and thought it might be a good idea. If anything, I thought our soon to be new baby would appreciate a warm wipe on their little toosh instead of an ice cold one! I read the reviews on Babies R Us's website about this warmer and it seemed pretty even on the pros and cons. So I decided to put it on my registry. I ended ...

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 ...

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...

My father-in-law bought a Gheenoe for when he travels with his camper. He wanted something big enough to fit 2 people fishing, but small and light enough to tote around on a trailer by hand. I recently went to visit them on vacation in Florida with my hubby. We took the boat out almost everyday and had a great time. For simple fishing and traveling over the water, this boat works great. Pros:Si...

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...

My husband has always liked the comic strip "The Far Side", so much that he has even bought books of their comic collections. Last Christmas his mom found this Far Side desktop day planner and just had to get it for him. He decided to put it on our dresser right next to the bed so he can look at it every night before he goes to bed. Even thought the planner was a gift for him, I ...

When my husband and I got married, I told him he could plan the whole honeymoon. I just wanted a tropical place with a beach! He reserved a week-long get away at the Sandals Resort in Negril, Jamaica. It was the perfect honeymoon and I can't wait to go back for another romantic vacation!It took about an hour and a half to get from the airport to the resort, but the driver was very funny and...

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 husband and I had our wedding cake made from Wixies Bakery in Toledo, OH. We were for the most part happy with it, but there were some issues we had with the cake once it arrived. I have eaten Wixies Bakery stuff for many years and have always loved it. From donuts to fritters, their stuff was always the best. So it came with no hesitation that our cake would come from there. Their pric...
