Keep an Eye on Your House & Feel More Secure with the eufyCam E

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


When you have a home of your own, it is important to protect it and watch over it!

How can you do this?? 

Well, with a security camera, of course!!

But beware - not all home security cameras are the same and it is important to pick one that fits your needs and won't cause more problems and headaches.

My husband is big on home security and has tried several different home security cameras out so he has (almost!) become an expert on what to look for!

Recently, we received the brand new eufyCam E from the Anker brand - the No.1 Amazon Best Seller of Electronics and he is REALLY happy with it! It checks all the boxes on what he is looking for in a security camera - including a long battery life (nobody likes paying for and changing batteries repeatedly!), night vision and easy to install!



eufyCam is designed from the ground up to offer wireless freedom. They eliminated power cables, wall outlets, and the need to drill holes, giving you freedom to install eufyCam practically anywhere. Stick the mount onto any flat surface and eufyCam’s ready to go—in less than a second; or just stick it directly onto most metallic surfaces.

This security camera really stands out for several reasons:

1) 365-DAY BATTERY LIFE: IP65 weatherproof-rated camera runs for 365 days (or 3 years in Standby Mode) per charge indoors and out. My husband LOVES this fact and switched to this camera especially for this reason!

2) FULL HD SURVEILLANCE: 1080p resolution, combined with our night vision technology, ensures video is recorded with crystal-clear quality both day and night. Night vision is a MUST when looking for a security camera for your home!


3) NO MONTHLY FEE: eufyCam E doesn’t require any monthly fees to use, and comes with a 16GB microSD card that stores up to one-year’s worth of recordings. Cloud storage service optional.

4) EASY INSTALLATION: Just stick the mount onto any flat surface and wireless surveillance with 2-way audio is ready to go. No one wants to mess with a hard to install camera for hours! You don't have to with the eufyCam!

PLUS, it has TWO-way audio AND Military Data Security!

And in the box is included everything you need to get it installed quickly and easily: eufyCam E, HomeBase Station, Magnetic Indoor Mount, and Secure Outdoor Mount.

If you are looking to keep an eye on your house and protect it from intruders, whether night or day, eufyCam E is a great way to get started on house surveillance! It passed my husband's picky standards and it is helping us feel more secure and protected, especially when we are gone from our house!

Buy It:

The eufyCam E retails for $259.99

Notion just launched their second-generation smart sensor with Nest integration for an even more holistic home experience.

5 Fall Safety Tips from Master Lock & Giveaway

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


The weather is definitely cooling and Fall is officially here! School activities are picking up and as daylight hours dwindle, it’s more important now than ever to ensure that safety stays top of mind for all family members. To help, Master Lock is providing five top tips for fall family safety so parents and children can enjoy the season without worry.

Follow these top five tips from Master Lock to stay safe this fall:

1. Be aware of surroundings. As dusk and darkness creep up earlier each day, remind children to follow safety precautions on their way to and from home. Whether walking all the way home or just to a parked car, students are advised to be aware of their surroundings, stick with a friend or in a group, stay in well-lit areas, avoid short cuts and always observe traffic rules.

2. Establish a “home alone” routine. Sometimes situations arise where children and teens will be home without supervision, whether coming home after school to an empty house or due to busy weekend activities. It’s natural for parents to feel uneasy at first, but with some planning, both parents and children can feel confident when the time comes. Set guidelines with your children to follow when home alone including, locking the door immediately after entering the house, calling to check in as soon as he or she gets home, not answering the door for any visitors and reviewing relevant emergency phone numbers and exit plans. Instead of hiding an extra set of house keys beneath a door mat or under a nearby rock, the Master Lock 5422D Portable Key Safe is the perfect solution for securely storing house keys outside so that children (or parents) are never left locked out.

3. Set ground rules for social media sharing. Teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than ever before*. As parents, it’s necessary to evaluate the information your child is sharing and advise them on security risks of sharing too much identifying information. Set ground rules for what your child can disclose online, and teach your child how to set privacy controls so that photos, location and personal information do not end up in the wrong hands.

4. Lock down valuables on the field. Lockers help keep gadgets, wallets, house or car keys and other belongings secure while in class, but what keeps them secure outside of school? Keep valuables locked up with a small, portable safe, such as the 5900D SafeSpace, which kids can easily fit in their backpacks, gym bags or lock down to a fixed object while attending after school activities.

5. Inspect to protect. While talking with your children about safety guidelines, fall is also an ideal time to create or practice a fire safety plan. Start with inspecting your home thoroughly ensuring all smoke detectors are functioning properly and review the sound of the alarm with children so they know what do to when it goes off. Make an evacuation plan by visiting each room in your home, designating two ways out and check that all windows and doors open easily. Lastly, designate a safe meeting place outside the home where your family can gather after exiting. This meeting place should be close to the home, but not too close to be in danger from the fire, and in front of the house so that fire safety personnel can easily see you as they arrive. It should also be somewhere easy to find in day or night, such as near a telephone pole, tree or mailbox. Most importantly, practice the escape plan. While 71 percent of Americans have a plan, only 47 percent of those have practiced it**.

*According to M. Madden et al. Teens, Social Media, and Privacy. Pew Internet and American Life Project, 2013.
**According to the National Fire Protection Association




Another great way to stay safe and secure this Fall is with the Master Lock 265DCCSEN Door Security Bar. It is great to stay secure when you have a patio or hinged door that you want to protect from forced entry!


Product Features:
  • Dual function door security bar for hinged and sliding doors

Stay Prepared With Master Lock & Giveaway

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



September is National Preparedness Month and it is definitely been shown that every state in the U.S. is vulnerable to some type of emergency weather situation. It is so sad to watch in the news as fires, tornadoes, and hurricanes tear apart homes, families, and every take lives!
