Father's Day 2023

If you are anything like me sometimes days and weeks just run together. Especially with how busy May is between Mother's Day, end of the school year, Memorial Day, on top of anything else that happens to pop up. So here I am reminding you all that Father's Day is Sunday, June 18th. I think we can all agree that dads are an important part of our lives. Sometimes it's hard to find the perfect gift for someone that means the world to us so check out these ideas I have for you.

Is a condensing boiler the same as a combi boiler?

When it comes time to install a brand-new boiler, you will usually find yourself struggling to figure out which boiler type you need. There are plenty of words thrown about in the boiler business that can confuse those not in the know. That does not mean you need to be boiler-savvy to install a new boiler, though. Once you read through this article, you will be surprised at just how easy it can all be.

Holiday Gifts Round-Up


The KiiPix™ is a portable instant picture printer that produces retro-stylized photos from any smartphone. KiiPix™ is easy to use, making it a "snap" to capture, print and share! Simply place any smartphone on the KiiPix™ instant picture printer , push the button and turn the crank, and print photos from your camera roll or Instagram. The picture rolls out and you have a forever memory to keep or share. Unlike a traditional instant camera that often wastes film for blurry pictures, you can enhance the contrast or play with filter options before your photo prints. From fixing that annoying red eye to adding bunny ears or other fun filters, KiiPix lets you augment your own reality and then print it out to share with the real world.


No matter the time of year my boys like to go outside and have a fire. So for them a fire pit is the perfect gift to receive. Traditional fire pits are bulky, heavy and worst of all, leave a rusty mess behind. Fireside Outdoor set out to invent a new, easier way to enjoy a fire. Their innovation and new technology solves all of the problems associated with old fire pits. Lightweight, clean burning and easy to set up the Pop-Up Pit is the best way to host a fire, anywhere, anytime and on any surface. The Pop-Up Pit sets up in just 60 seconds and cools down in 90 seconds so you can pack it away after your fire. It's great for anyone that likes to camp, tailgate, or just go outside and have a fire. My son had this one out of the box and up for a fire the same day it arrived. And since then has had a fire at least three nights a week because it's so easy to use.

Right now you can save 20% at checkout by using my special code "Tilton20".


This unique notebook and pen set that harkens back to a time of tactile creativity. BLU is the first ever journaling notebook made with pages that have the look and feel of traditional blueprint paper! Every BLU Notebook comes with a white gel pen that looks great when used on its blue gridline pages. Perfect for those that like to doodle, or need to draw-out their thoughts and plans.


Glider Gloves are the ultimate texting glove for any Smart Phone or touchscreen device. They are made from special conductive fibers that keep your hands warm while having access to text, by touching any part of the glove to the phone surface.  Unlike other touchscreen gloves, Glider Gloves are warm and don’t limit functionality to the tips of your fingers. The entire glove is touchscreen compatible, so you not only can use your fingertips to text, you can easily pinch the screen to zoom and even use your knuckle to swipe. I've been using these for a few weeks myself and I LOVE them! So much easier to use than any other pair of touchscreen gloves I've ever owned. AND they keep my hands warm too!


Did you know succulents are the trending plants for houseplants? They easily brighten up room yet require little care and sparing watering. They also make for great DIY projects such as succulents arrangements since they come in various shapes and sizes and can fit in small spaces. Succulents Box offers 150 varieties of succulents and monthly subscriptions boxes so there's a wide selection to choose from. It's nice because for the beginner you can get a subscription box that has everything all picked out for you, or for the succulents enthusiast you can pick out individual plants to complement their collection. Either way you go you won't be disappointed!


Now with dual drive, the new Create+ 3D printing pen is completely re-engineered to give you an ultra smooth and enhanced Doodling experience. Improvements include greater durability, reduced chances of nozzle clogging, and better speed control for doodling over big spaces or intricate details. The Create+ 3D printing pen is a versatile tool for ages 14+. Especially those that like to create art, design wearables, build models, decorate their space, fix things, or just play - the possibilities are limitless! Beginner-friendly so there is no need for special skills, a perfect gift for anyone who loves to create.


I'm not going to pretend like I know a thing about Soft Beads or even fishing tackle for that matter. I'm just going to say when my husband saw these packages on the kitchen table his face lit up and he got really excited. And if he gets excited then I know it's something good. The other thing I won't pretend is that I remember all of the conversation that happened once he picked up these packages and started inspecting them. It was kind of like Charlie Brown listening to his teacher. (And yes my husband was the teacher in this scenario.) Wha Wha Wha Wha. These are really awesome. Wha Wha Wha Wha. Great for fishing for...... I think I got the point. They are fisherman approved in my house and that's all that matters.

BnR Tackle's signature soft beads are excellent for steelhead, trout, and even salmon. These work especially well in the winter spawning months as the beads mimic fish eggs floating down the river, and the fish can't resist them! BnR Tackle's soft beads are available online through their website, and packs of 10 start at $5.29 + shipping. The beads are available in a wide range of colors and sizes from 8mm up to 20mm.


Wanna make that man in your life smile? Gift him these goodies from GearWrench. My teenage son saw them sitting on my desk and the first thing out of his mouth was "you can give me that set for Christmas". And that was followed by him explaining to me how he could use each of the items in his everyday life at work. I have to be honest it was a pretty good pitch on his part. And maybe, just maybe Santa might surprise him Christmas morning.

The GearWrench Bluetooth® Speaker and Radio features not just your typical Bluetooth capabilities but also the ability to listen to FM radio via the built in antenna. Great for those times your cell phone battery is getting low (which happens to my son almost daily at work)! Meets IP65 Specs for Dust and Water Resistance so it's great for indoors and out. And it has a six hour run time and 10 watt dual speakers with speakerphone feature. It's really an awesome all-in-one speaker.

Speaking of convenience and portability the GearWrench 500 Lumen Rechargeable Flashlight is just that. The smaller size makes it easy to slip in your pocket for use at a moments notice on the job. It features a dual 250 and 500 lumen rating so it gives off plenty of light. The rear activation switch makes it easy to turn on/off at the touch of a button. It has a sealed water resistant IP54 rating for dust and water spray. And lasts up to five hours on a single charge via the included lithium ion battery.

I'm pretty sure he was most excited about the GearWrench 12-1/2" Professional 500 Lumen Ultra-Thin Flex-Head Work Light of all three products though. He was telling me all about how he could use it when he was working under sinks and places that he needed both hands to work on things and couldn't spare one for a flashlight. It features an ultra-thin flex head that directs light in hard to reach places. As well as a magnet and hang hook for easy positioning. Dual light settings on the light bar - 500 Lumens on high 250 Lumens on low, and a single 30 lumen light on the top. It even has a low battery warning when there is five minutes of power left reminding you it's time to recharge.


The newly redesigned myCharge HubPlus 6700mAh portable charger is truly the only powerbank you'll ever need. With integrated Apple® Lightning™ and micro-USB cables, as well as the newly added USB port, staying charged on the go has never been easier.  Boasting a 30% reduction in size, the HubPlus is more compact and portable than ever before. Just drop it in your purse or jacket pocket on the way out the door and you're set to charge all of your devices on the go. With the myCharge HubPlus carrying cables is a thing of the past!


For people who want more out of every moment, BoomBoom has created all-natural, plant-based solutions to help you stay focused, feel refreshed, and be a better you. As someone that has been using essential oils for years I can attest to their usefulness. I'm a firm believer that they do help and often times choose my oils over OTC medications. I just love the idea of using something that's natural and from the earth vs. something synthetic for healing my body.

The Relax + Unwind blend of organic essential oils will soothe your mind/body and provide deep relaxation. While the Breathe + Focus blend of organic essential oils will enhance your breathing and increase your mental focus.


By now you know me and my love for the fun scents Softsoap comes out with through out the year. And just like always they are perfect yet again for the holidays. It's a festive time with peppermint and cherries all around!

We've had this handy little speaker hanging in our shower for a couple weeks now and I have to say am very impressed. For the size it really belts out those tunes. I'm talking clear music that you can easily hear over the shower. My tween daughter loves to sing in the shower so this handy little fella definitely comes in handy in our house.  The SoundBot Shower Speaker has advanced digital sound, noise/wind reduction technology, and a unique loudspeaker cavity structure to deliver premium acoustic sound and enriched music listening experiences. It even has easy to access hands-free talking, volume up/down, fast forward/backward, pause/play, and power buttons right on the front so you can use them even while in the shower. It's water resistant so you don't even have to worry if you accidentally splash water on it. It's definitely a lot better than trying to hear music from your phone sitting on the bathroom sink while in the shower.


Now, there’s a better way to rub out all those kitchen prepping odors from your hands.​ ​Kirk’s, one of the largest natural soap brands in America, has just introduced a new Odor Neutralizing Hand Wash. Their odor neutralizing hand wash uses a unique, natural vegetable fermentation technology (similar to some natural deodorants) to completely eliminate kitchen prep smells, like fish and garlic. It’s also tough on every day pungent odors, dirt and grime. Premium Coconut Oil creates a creamy lather and soothing Aloe Vera ensures that your hands are left feeling soft, healthy and free of bad odors! Now no one will know what your hands went through before they arrived for those holiday gatherings.


Of course everything doesn't have to be about gifts you give to others. Even though Entry Ice Melt could be considered the "gift of safety". It's a great way to make sure you keep your friends and family safe when they are visiting for the holidays.

People, pets and the planet love Entry — the first 100% CHLORIDE-FREE de-icer that melts snow and ice in as little as 30 seconds, while you watch. Entry’s residue-free, liquid formula is safer for paws, plants, floors and metal. It’s also better for your drinking water and the planet. Above all, it clears ice and snow from sidewalks, driveways and other outdoor surfaces quickly, before your eyes – before slips and falls can happen.

Holiday Gifts for One and All


The FABRIQ Chorus is a Bluetooth/wireless smart speaker that's the #1 Amazon Echo alternative. Every unit is even Alexa-enabled. Chorus is customizable with different patterns on the outside so you can hand pick your favorite pattern for your recipients (or yourself). You can connect up to 10 Chorus units throughout your home so you can create a whole house music system. I love it because I can just speak commands and hear the music I want. I don't even have to stop what I'm doing in the kitchen and dry off my hands! The included charging dock makes it quick and convenient to charge by simply setting the unit on the charger base. The sound quality is pretty amazing too for such a small speaker.

Gifts that will make her smile!


Something that has always made me smile is a brand new outfit. And not just any outfit, but an outfit complete with coordinating jewelry. If you want to buy jewelry, read this guide to choosing a loose diamond. That smile you see on my face is genuine because I immediately fell in love with my new outfit that I received from Cracker Barrel. I love their apparel and their jewelry lines because they are so unique and you won't find anything like it in department stores. In this photo I'm wearing their Olive Knit Dress with Multi-Color Cardigan over the top. They also sent me their Tassel Necklace and Earring Set to give the outfit just a bit of spunk. I paired it all up with a pair of fleece leggings and boots since it's been cold out lately. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way the outfit looks - and feels!

Dynatrap FlyLight Insect Trap - Bye-Bye Bugs!


I’m really excited about receiving my first DynaTrap FlyLight Insect trap. We do a lot of entertaining during the summer months and there’s nothing worse than flies landing on your food in front of guests. Many flies carry diseases and other nasty pathogens on their bodies. With the DynaTrap FlyLight Insect trap I can keep my family and our food safe. Flies are attracted to the DynaTrap by the AtraktaGlo™ UV technology and then the StickyTech™ stops them from continuing to fly around! No buzzing or zapping sounds like many flying inset traps on the market. You know those ones that shock them and then they just fall to the ground. With the Dynatrap you just have the warm glow of the UV light around the unit and a silent vacuum fan that draws them in.

The DynaTrap FlyLight Insect trap I received has two AC outlets and two USB outlets so I am not losing any of my wall outlets by plugging it in. I’m actually gaining additional charging ports! This is great because it seems like we are always short on charging ports when we have company over. I can’t wait to try this out fully as the summer weather (and bugs) start to creep in. So far we’ve been pretty lucky and haven’t had many flying insects come indoors yet.


About DynaTrap:
DynaTrap® is a technology-driven indoor/outdoor insect trap that protects against mosquitoes, biting flies, moths, wasps, and more. Unlike other bug prevention solutions, DynaTrap is uniquely chemical- and pesticide-free, affordable, easy to maintain, environmentally friendly and most importantly — effective. It uses UV light and CO2 to mimic human beings and maximize predatory insect attraction. Its strong yet silent fan then vacuums the insects into a retaining cage. When run 24/7 during mosquito season, DynaTrap works brilliantly to disrupt the mosquito life-cycle and keep your home and yard bug-free. For more information please visit www.DynaTrap.com.

Chamberlain Mini Remote: Delivers convenience and safety to motorcycle riders


Thanks to the folks over at Chamberlain my husband no longer has to carry a big bulky garage door remote in his jacket pocket when he rides his motorcycle to work. They sent us two of their Universal Mini Garage Door Remotes and let me tell you they are great. I actually kept one for myself and dropped it in my purse. It’s so small I don’t even notice that it’s in there. But if I need it, it’s there. You never know when you’ll walk out the door and lock your keys in the house. Or like I’ve had happen to me before the car remote battery dies and you have to manually open your garage door to get in. But most of all my husband is excited because he no longer has to carry a big bulky remote in his bike jacket pocket. This remote is about the same size as the remote he carries that allows him to start his motorcycle. Now he has them both in one pocket and said it’s still less than the previous remote alone.

Keep your family safe with Samsung SmartCam (ARV$129)


Ever since I became a mom some 17-ish years ago I've looked at the world in a whole different way. I started paying more attention to locking the doors when I leave house (even for a quick trip just minutes away) and just to my surroundings in general. I guess that's what they call the motherly instinct that's built inside of us gals. We will do anything to protect our kiddos, and to prevent them from getting hurt. Since my daughter started middle school she's been asking for a little more freedom in being home without her older brother being there babysitting her. She's 11-1/2 and quite independent already. Of course with her being a girl I'm a little more leery about her being home alone and my husband...well he just says flat out NO. I mean that's his little girl we are talking about. Of course that just drives her crazy because she knows her brother was staying home along long before her. She just doesn't get the difference it makes with her being a girl.

Keepin' it cool with the Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan


I don't know about where you live, but where we live here in Indiana it's hot. I know it's right smack dab in the middle of summer so what should I expect right? Thankfully there are ways to help keep cool even on the hottest days, especially when the AC has trouble keeping up. One of those is with my new Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan. By using this fan I can help cool down the living room where we all seem to spend the most time when it's too hot to get outdoors. It looks great too because it's black like my room decor so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb!

Some of my favorite features:
• You can choose from 60, 90, 120, or 360 degree rotation for air circulation exactly where you need it.
• LCD Display tells you exactly what selections you have chosen as well as the temperature of the room.
• A programmable timer so you don't forget to shut it off.
• A remote control so you can change the settings from across the room.

It's not the quietest fan I've ever used, but it's not loud and annoying either when you are trying to watch television. I actually prefer a fan that I can hear the consistent sound of, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I find the fan sound to be soothing.

Check it out for yourself by watching the video review I created:

Never again wonder "Did I shut the garage door?"


Have you ever left your house, gotten down then road, and then thought to your self "did I shut the garage door"? I know I've done that more times than I can even start to count. Thankfully we live in the country so it's not quite as big a deal if I forgot, but for those that live in town and especially on a busy street it's something very important. Thankfully technology has come such a long way we now have ways to double check to make sure we did a little task like shutting the garage door.

CLOSED: Febreze - New Zealand Springs Scent Giveaway (2 win) 5-30

Febreze, the leading air freshener from Procter & Gamble, is expanding its premium Destinations Collection by bringing the fresh scent of New Zealand Springs to households across America. Designed to highlight authentic scents from around the globe, the Collection aims to awaken the senses, while giving homes a feeling of renewal by bringing the exotic indoors. New Zealand Springs is an ideal product to add to your spring cleaning routine, adding just the right amount of lasting freshness to every room in the home.


Febreze® Air Effects®
Part of leading a fresh lifestyle is knocking out negativity right in its tracks. When something stinky gets you down, get rid of it and freshen up the room right away with Febreze Air Effects. It’s like a breath of fresh air because it actually sweeps away stifling odors from the air using our patented technology and leaves only a clean, refreshing scent.

Febreze® Candles
Announce your love for freshness to the world-or to everyone who visits your home, anyway. Febreze Candles are so beautiful you’ll want to set them out on counters, mantles and end tables*. The flame gives off a warm, welcoming glow while the innovative core releases odor neutralizers as it burns. Febreze Candles can burn for up to 30 hours and the refreshing scent lingers long after you blow it out. Try Febreze Candles in the kitchen to eliminate cooking smells and in the living room for other everyday odors, like odors from pets. You can even choose a different candle scent for each room. * burn on protected heat resistant surfaces.

Febreze® NOTICEables™
If you can’t get enough in a spritz, try surrounding yourself with freshness for the whole month, every month! Febreze NOTICEables is an innovative scented oil warmer you simply plug into any outlet for 30 days* of uplifting fragrance. And now the oil warmer and refills are sold separately, so you can easily replace the oils to keep your home fresh all of the time.

Unlike other electric fresheners, it actually eliminates odors from the air. And while you may get used to the others, you’ll always notice NOTICEables. That’s because NOTICEables oil warmer alternates between two complementary scents all day.  *on low setting

My Take:
I've always been a fan of the Febreze line of products, so it was no surprise to me that I liked the new New Zealand Springs line that they recently launched.  It has a nice fresh scent that isn't too overwhelming, and really seems to last.  I keep a bottle of Febreze Air Effects sitting out in my kitchen so I can occasionally spray it as I enter the room. I just like the clean fresh scent that it leaves behind.  I can't stand the smell of a musty room. The Febreze® NOTICEables™ works great in the bathroom so it is always smelling fresh.

Pocket Purifier™


Do you ever... put your purse on the movie theater floor? Jump on the elliptical at the gym? Grocery shop in flu season? Slice raw chicken on your cutting board? Use the computer everyone has access to? Carpool kids? Throw half-eaten snacks back in your backpack? Use an airplane bathroom? Lay a gym bag on a locker room floor? Pick up the baby's pacifier off the ground? Use a hotel remote control? Let someone use your cell phone?

Surely after a list that long you said yes to at least one thing! I know I sure did, more than one...actually several.  Just imagine the germs you pick up in an average day on all the things you touch, and even the things you don't directly touch.  As you might imagine hearing that there is a product out there that can actually sanitize and kill those germs made my eyes light up.  I was really excited to have the opportunity to actually get the product and start using it first hand!

Pet CFL Light Bulb


Looking for a bulb that can not only add some light to your room, but also help control the pet dander floating through the air?  Then the Pet CFL bulb is just what you are looking for.  We are pet lovers, we have two cats that pretty much have the run of the house. They do what-ever they want where-ever they want and when-ever they want.  Really, you can be sitting in your chair minding your own business, and up one comes making themselves at home on your lap, no matter what you are doing. (Actually as I type this the kitten is curled up in the center of my lap.) I don't complain and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love them both just like my kids. The one downfall about having two cats in the house is all the floating pet hair, pet dander and occasional pet like smell.  Having installed one of the Pet CFL bulbs in my living room where we spend most of our time I am certain has cut down on the amount of pet dander, and I don't even notice the animal scent when I come through the front door anymore.

Keep your dog. Love your cat (as much as a cat will let you). Enjoy your parrot's chatter. Control the dander with Pet CFL. For many pet owners, the price for their pet's companionship in their home is watery, itchy eyes, a stuffy nose, coughing and sneezing as their body reacts to allergens in pet dander. Allergens collect on fur and adhere to walls, clothing and other surfaces, and once airborne, stay suspended for long periods of time. Pet CFL, energy efficient Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb, cleans the air, removing pet dander as well as cigarette smoke, pollen, mold, germs, dust mites and more with a built-in ionizer that also emits serotonin-increasing negative ions to refresh and energize. Pet CFL uses 1/5 the energy of incandescent bulbs so it reduces the carbon footprint. Clean, healthy living with inside pets has never been so easy, or responsible.
Pet CFL helps remove any animal dander - so it's a great option for veterinary practices, kennels, and indoor areas such as training/boarding/grooming facilities.

Watch Pet CFL negative ion technology remove smoke in 30 seconds.

Purely Products is a company that gives back. The founders of the company started a nonprofit diaperlove that provides diapers to babies in need. Changing diapers. Changing lives. Did you know that WIC and Food Stamps don't pay for diapers? Crazy, right? I have heard horror stories of moms actually washing out their disposable diapers to reuse them. Oh, I know, if only they knew about cloth, but...some moms don't even have access to their own washer/dryer, or aren't allowed to use laundromats for diaper laundry... so I'm glad to see a company reaching out to moms in need. When you shop at Purely Products, you are "buying for bottoms" as well, so you are helping out too!

Healthy Night Light

Looking for a product that not only gives you a soft glowing light and cleans your air at the same time? Then the Healthy Night Lightis the product for you.  I was provided with a night light for my reviewing purposes and couldn't be happier.  I first installed it in my office space where I spend the entire day so I could test it out first hand for myself.  I little prologue to show just how good this light is, I had previously been sick for several weeks with a cough among other things. Well even after the other things were better the cough was still there..that was up until I had installed the Healthy Night Light™.  After just a few days of working in the office space with the light installed I noticed when I was in the room I wasn't coughing like I had been.  And I also noticed the dust on my desk wasn't collecting as quickly. I am in love with this thing and can't wait to get some more for my two kids rooms.  They both suffer from allergies and my son has asthma so I think having a light in their rooms would help them both sleep better.
