Home is where the heart is. In this category we’ll chat about anything relating to the home.
Hand held vacuums suck-and not in the way that they should. Their batteries are weak, they don’t feel like a vacuum and don’t produce enough suction to even pick up rogue pieces of cat or dog food. The Black & Decker Pivot Vac comes in and 18V and 20V version. We tried out the 20V version and it has enough power to really pick things up, is surprisingly strong and does the cordless job for about ten minutes.

We were provided with product for review purposes. All thoughts are our own. The Moen Corner Shelf with Grab Bar is simple to install and shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes from start to finish. Of course, the best laid plans sometimes fall short and here’s how to salvage a simple Naptime DIY that, for one reason or another gets away from you.

Permanent record. That’s a scary phrase growing up isn’t it? Especially in junior high school, the mere thought of something going on your permanent record was enough to scare me and most of my friends straight. Now that I’m a parent the craisin, AKA, the dried cranberry is something our kids love, but have become the bane of our cleaning life.

We’ve painted dozens of rooms and at least 2 complete houses, multiple times over the years. During that time we’ve cleaned some of them not as thoroughly as we should have. That produced paint brushes that can double as a hammer, but cease being able to be used for the purpose that they were purchased. How do you clean an old paint brush that has dried paint on it?

We were compensated to review and drive this vehicle. All thoughts are our own. As a family we have big and small things, as well as growing people that are carted around every day. Certainly there are days when we need a truck and the massive amount of storage space. There are big things that I didn’t pick up when we tired the Ford F-150 that I’m kicking myself for. Our experience with the 2014 Ford all new F-150 is that it’s a big truck that can do lots of hauling and typical truck stuff, but also has the safety and creature comforts that one expects from a family vehicle.

I’m participating in a campaign and this is a paid post. All thoughts are my own and my go-to (lame) costume for years really was the ‘tourist’. Halloween is nigh, it really is. I know you look at the calendar and think that you’ve got all the time in the world. However we both know that September will breeze through and October is a blur, suddenly it’s Halloween and you’re using that ‘tourist’ costume that wasn’t funny the first time your wore it. Buy Costumes kicks off its second annual Orange Season on Tuesday, September 2. Orange Tuesday runs through November 4 and features the Orange List, top costumes, party themes and treats – and a one day, Black Fridayesque sale with itemspecific “Orange Busters” and sitewide savings of 25 percent off everything Halloween.

Before I was a husband and dad I was a college student. It was during that time that learned every house must, without fail have a water key. This really isn’t a DIY per se, rather two stories that illustrate how important a water key is, even though you may never use it.
Back in the day I had massive 4’ speakers. There were four of them and they were not cheap. But, as a guy who worked in radio, I needed to have sound that was big. This in no way was trying to compensate for a Napoleonic Complex, it was all work related-really. Now CDs are all but dead and cassettes are just a toy for children to unwind; while LPs and streaming services are cool. This month Best Buy is having August Audio Month, a chance to solve all your audio issues,special pricing, events and lots more.
