Netgear WiFi Range Extender

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One thing that drives me crazy about my house is the wi-fi router is downstairs and so you barely get any wi-fi upstairs and on one side of the house! I could never play my Pandora music in the kitchen while cooking, I got no service outside while playing and working and I couldn't stand it!

So then I got the awesome AC750 WiFi Range Extender and my life has definitely changed for the better! I absolutely get great service EVERYWHERE in my house and I never have to move my phone around like a crazy person looking for service! :)

Optimize your existing WiFi network and extend it to hard-to-reach places with the next generation AC WiFi technology. AC750 WiFi Range Extender delivers fast WiFi speed and connectivity for smartphones, tablets, laptops and more – allowing you to enjoy your favorite entertainment throughout your home.

NETGEAR AC750 WiFi Range Extender boosts your existing WiFi by increasing your range and speed. It works with any standard WiFi router to deliver AC750 dual band WiFi with up to 750 Mbps. A Gigabit Ethernet port provides WiFi connectivity to a wired device like Blu-ray® players, game consoles, smart TVs or streaming players over your existing WiFi network. Just plug it into any outlet and experience the difference.

I can't believe how easy it was to install and now to use! I just have to choose the service on whatever device I am using and it boosts it to full!

I absolutely LOVE this Range Extender from Netgear and I don't know how I lived without it before! It is a nice small size so it isn't an eye sore and can fit nicely in any outlet in your house, behind shelves or stands!

If you have bad Wi-Fi service in spots in your house like I did, then this is the perfect device to find Wi-Fi easily and everywhere in your house and on ALL your devices!

You can purchase the AC750 WiFi Range Extender for $73.30 from Amazon.com

Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right? Well, according to a recent survey by Logitech, 65 percent of Americans are distracted by messages from one of their devices when using another. Can you say device overload?!

I can definitely admit to being one of those device-overloaded individuals! I catch myself checking my phone, while typing on the computer. Sometimes, I even check emails at the same time on both my phone and computer! :)

And, 52 percent of U.S. parents have missed an important message because they could only use one device at a time. This news gets even more concerning when you learn that American parents estimate that 43 percent of their daily communication comes from their own family members!

This onslaught of stimulation can be tough for anyone to handle, that’s why Logitech created the Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480, a wireless desktop keyboard that can work with up to three different Bluetooth devices – iOS or Android – at one time.

I get so many emails, texts and alerts coming at me at once almost all day long! I love that iwth this Logitech Keyboard, I can reply to it all from one keyboard!

I also love that I can switch easily between devices by just turning the the Easy-Switch dial. It quickly and easily switches typing between three connected Bluetooth wireless devices. Plus, the integrated cradle holds your phone or tablet at just the right angle for you to read while you type.

Every multi-tasker needs this Logitech Multi-Device Keyboard!

Buy It: 

You can purchase the Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 for $49.99 from the Logitech website.

Win It:

Logitech is generously offering (1) Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 to a lucky winner!

i-Mat: My Animal World and Voice Pen

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My, my, how times have changed! Digital devices like smart phones, tablets and flash drives have become the norm for the i-Generation, born after 2003. Kids get their homework assignments online and download eBooks to read on the bus. Now toddlers as young as 18 months have their own device, the soft and colorful foam i-Mat™, and it's changing parents' perspective on what's possible to activate baby's senses.

The first in a series of themed interactive foam mats, the colorful play land is made of four interlocking soft sections that are activated when used with its Voice Pen. Babies and older siblings learn while exploring the illustrated mat with a simple point on the "word bubble." They're instantly rewarded with an animal sound, a word, music or a foreign language translation! Newborn babies can enjoy the mat without the pen—the mat is phthalate-, lead- and heavy metal-free, and no electronics mean no worries for wiping the mat clean.

The i-Mat's secret is the 2 GB memory of the Voice Pen. As new pads are introduced, parents can connect the Voice Pen to any computer with internet access (with the included USB cable), download the new sound file from Creative Baby's website to the i-Mat Voice Pen.

I love how this i-Mat teaches my children three languages -- English, Spanish, and Chinese -- by simply touching the pen to the image.

Beyond learning a new language, the i-Mat grows intellectually with my children. When the child is old enough to hold the pen without help, the brain cells get a great workout as learning games on the mat become more and more challenging as hidden sounds are everywhere! For tots 3 to 6 years old there's advanced programs for the Voice pen such as interactive talking flash cards, posters, wall decals, stickers, books and more.

Both my 2 and 4 year old LOVE the i-Mat and it appeals to both their age groups. The pen is easy to hold for my two year old and the games and languages are advanced enough for my 4 year old son. 

They can easily set it up by themselves, turn it on, and away they go learning about all the animals and playing games!

The i-Mat serves as a fun visual play land with dozens of cute animals that toddlers can't resist nor their older siblings. Animal name clouds stimulate the visual connection of the words with corresponding images and animal names. Point and wait for the sound!

Buy It: You can purchase the i-Mat: My Animal World and Voice Pen for $79.99 from the Creative Baby website.
