D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor

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

I can still remember when I was a kid and our basement flooded. It was a complete mess and it took hours and hours of clean up. It is a memory that has lasted for me forever and I now that I am a homeowner, it is a BIG fear I have every time we have a big storm!

But I have gotten some peace of mind now that I own the D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor!

The Wi-Fi Water Sensor (DCH-S160) is a compact device that plugs into an open power outlet and alerts users with a loud siren whenever it comes in contact with water. In addition to the audible siren with six different customizable tones, customers will also get push notifications with the free mydlink Home app on their smartphones or tablet to ensure they're aware of a water leak no matter their location.

The Wi-Fi Water Sensor can be placed near washing machines, sump pumps, water heaters, sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators, or anywhere in the home where a water leak may occur. The Water Sensor comes with two cables: a 3.3 feet extension cable and a specially designed 1.6 feet sensing cable that detects water along its entire length. When water is detected, a 70dB alarm will sound and an LED will flash to give users audio and visual warnings.

More about the Wi-Fi Water Sensor:

* Push Notifications - Receive an alert on your mobile device and sound an audible alarm when a water leak is detected

* Simple Setup - Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button and mydlink Home mobile app offers quick and easy setup to connect to connect to your existing Wi-Fi network.

* Local and Remote Control - Controlled by the free mydlink(r) Home mobile app

* Versatile Placement - Extendable water sensing cable, with standard RJ-11 cable, allows for water sensing far from an outlet

* Pairs with other mydlink Devices - Works with other mydlink-enabled devices such as the Wi-Fi Siren, Wi-Fi Smart Plugs and Wi-Fi Cameras

* Compact Design - One-piece wall-plug design is compact and portable

Besides the great peace of mind I have using this Water Sensor, I also LOVE how easy it is to set up! Just set it up in minutes with 3 easy steps!

So if you are doing a DIY project around a water supply and are worried or are just looking for peace of mind in your house, then you need the D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor!

Finish Your Summer Projects with Dutch Boy Paints

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

As a house owner, there ALWAYS seems to be a MILLION projects going on! When we moved in, the first project that got done was painting the bedrooms. One of the bedrooms was my baby's so I didn't want to pick just any ole' paint. I wanted one that was safe but also vibrant and washable!

That is why I turn to Dutch Boy Refresh paints EVERY TIME I paint any walls in our house! It is the only one I trust because it is GREENGUARD® Indoor Air Quality Certified and the color always looks great, the paint is easy to roll on and it is self-priming! I couldn't ask for any more!

Together with Arm & Hammer® technology, Refresh® Paint contributes to the reduction of odors and creation of a more beautiful environment. Refresh® Paint can be applied directly to previously painted surfaces or uncoated drywall without the use of a separate primer.

And don't worry...if you are looking to freshen up your ceilings along with your walls, they also offer a Dutch Boy Refresh Ceiling Paint! It is amazing what freshly painted ceilings can do for the look of a house!

And for all your fun summer DIY projects, check out their new Dutch Boy Chalky Finish Paint. It provides a trendy antique look when applied and provides surfaces such as varnished wood, bare wood, and laminate with a velvety, matte finish that creates a shabby chic look!

The Best Electric Power Washer

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

Once winter is over, windows, siding, decks and sidewalks will need to be cleaned! So this time of the year is the best time to gift a power washer for the homeowner on your gift list.

I love looking through the innovative and unique products from Hammacher Schlemmer. They have so many awesome gift ideas to choose from! Once I saw the The Best Electric Power Washer, I knew it would make a great gift idea from Hammacher Schlemmer!

This is the electric power washer that cleaned more effectively than other models and was easiest to use in side-by-side evaluations conducted by The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Analysts used each power washer on a variety of surfaces and compared the results.

The Best Power Washer removed built-up grime from home siding and the majority of paint from a cement block—unlike its under-powered counterparts that failed to clean either—and it cleaned a tire rim in 38% less time. Its powerful 1800-watt motor generates up to 1 3/4 gallons-per-minute/2,030 PSI to quickly remove dirt while using 80% less water than a garden hose alone.

The Best model comes with five quick-connect spray tips that make it easy to adjust the power of the spray to the cleaning job, and its dual removable tanks let you clean with two different detergents. It has a 20' long hose, a 34" extension wand, and maneuvers easily on oversized wheels. 35' power cord. 34" H x 15 3/4" W x 13 1/2" D. (31 lbs.)

You can purchase the Best Electric Power Washer for $199.95 from Hammacher Schlemmer.

Carry Anything with The Mighty Max Cart!

It is getting warm outside (slowly but surely by us!) and that means more outdoor activities like gardening, fishing, car work and yard work! A lot of times I know have wished for a nice heavy duty cart or some way to transport dirt, branches or leaves while doing yard work. My husband is currently working on an old 1951 Pontiac Chieftain and he has had to transport a heavy engine and was complaining he had to no way to get it around or anything to hold it.

I didn't think there was something out there that would help us both, but I was WRONG! As soon as I saw the Mighty Max Cart, I knew we had a dream transport system that would solve BOTH our problems!

The Mighty Max is just that - MIGHTY! It can carry, move, transport and support any task you have around the house, the office, the store, the plant, the garage, in the field, on the beach or at a special event like a tailgate party, sports activities, hunting, fishing, boating, or just about anywhere. The Mighty Max is “MIGHTY” and it will get the job done.

I absolutely LOVE how compact it is which makes it so easy to store or transport in a car, trunk or boat locker, but yet it is light enough for me to drag around or store by myself! Plus, it can hold up to 800 lbs!!! I couldn't believe it but it is true! That is what makes it perfect for helping my husband with his car work!

The Mighty Max is the Only Cart You’ll Ever Need and is backed by a lifetime warranty that provides you with the security knowing that this cart will be the only transport cart you’ll ever need! best of all, it is American made - I love supporting American companies!

I love the Mighty Max MM 800 B model that we received because it has the all-weather tub that rests on the Mighty Max Cart flatbed to make a sturdy "Dump Truck". It works great to carry leaves, dirt, equipment or MY SON! :) It is 6" deep and easily dumps loads where you want it.

I love the amazing space-age polymers that it is made of because it will last a lifetime and NEVER rusts and  NEVER needs painting.

As the summer heats up and you get outside to work on the yard, car, or you are just doing recreational activites like fishing or going to the beach, you are going to wish you had your very own Mighty Max Cart! So hurry over and get one BEFORE you wish you had one!

Buy It: You can purchase the Mighty Max MM 800 B for $149.00 on the Mighty Max Cart website

The Longstem Corner Jewelry Organizer Review and Giveaway

The Longstem Jewelry Organizer was invented in 2006 by Alison Albanese, a private investigator by training, who had long searched for a way to store and organize a lifetime of collected jewelry. After experimenting with jewelry boxes, pouches and other storage devices, she began experimenting with wire to devise an organizer that would make accessorizing easy and fun.

An idea took hold that would literally accomodate boxes full of jewelry and could hang on a closet door or wall, allowing for an entire collection to be viewed in one glance.

I generously received the Corner Organizer! It mounts on a tension pole that you can place in the corner of a closet or room. The tension pole works easily for ceilings from 7’10” to 8’2” high. All racks are adjustable to your preferred height. If you don’t wish to use the tension pole, it includes brackets that allow the pole to be fastened to a corner wall or just about anywhere.

This organizer has a large, heavy-duty perforated screen for displaying and storing your earrings, with a nice durable tray for storage. Perfect for walk-in closets, small rooms or apartments! Comes with an easy to assemble tension pole and mounting brackets.

The Corner Organizer has a total of 22 hooks and consists of 3 racks connected to a tension pole. The earring rack holds over 75 pairs of earrings and the 10 hooks hold approximately 50 rings or favorite pieces. There is one rack with 6 bracelet hooks that can hold over 40 bracelets. And finally, it includes one rack with 6 necklace hooks that can hold over 40 necklaces.

 

My Opinion

Ok, my husband has been saying for years that I have got to get something that organizes my jewelry! I tend to shove them all into a little pouch or lay them all over my room! I have lost, broken or tangled more jewelry than I can count...but I just could never find something that didn't take up a ton of room or wasn't too complicated or time consuming to use...until NOW!

This is my jewelry prior to the Corner Jewelry Organizer!

I (and my husband!) am so happy to share with you the greatest jewelry organizer I have ever seen - the Corner Jewelry Organizer!

First of all, this organizer was SUPER easy to put together and install in the corner of our bedroom! Best of all, it doesn't take up hardly any room and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb! I can see all my jewelry and reach them all at one time!

Best of all, it is easy to use and I think I might stay organized now that I have it! You just simply hang your necklaces, bracelets and rings on hooks/bars and the earrings go into the mesh area! It is so easy to put any jewelry on and off and there is A TON of room! I thought I had a lot of jewelry but my organizer still looks pretty empty after all my jewelry is on (time for more, right honey?) :)

I recommend The Longstem Corner Jewelry Organizer for all women (or men!) that need a place to put their jewelry so it stops getting broken, tangled or lost! It is super easy to install, fits in any corner, and is easy to use so you WANT to use it!

Touch 'n Foam Review and Giveaway

Whether it’s keeping out the winter drafts or guarding against summer heat, most homeowners know the challenge of maintaining a comfortable living environment while watching their budget. Air leaks from drafty windows, gaps and cracks around the house can cause even a well-insulated home’s energy bills to soar.

However, air sealing a home with Touch ‘n Foam DIY insulating foam sealants is an easy and inexpensive way for homeowners to improve energy efficiency and home comfort year-round. The bulk of energy loss in a home comes from dozens of small holes, cracks and gaps inside and outside that allow air leakage.

Touch ‘n Foam products help control airflow in and out of homes by filling gaps and cracks in the home's interior and exterior, which helps maintain a consistent temperature year round while lowering utility bills. 38% of home energy dollars go right out the window – literally. The dozens of small holes and cracks around a typical home allow air leakage and cause the bulk of energy loss. In fact, adding up all the holes in the average home results in a giant 5’ hole in the wall - that’s the equivalent of keeping a door open all winter or summer long. However, air sealing a home with Touch ‘n Foam’s insulating foam sealants is one of the easiest and inexpensive ways for homeowners to improve energy efficiency and home comfort year-round .
