First Alert P1000 Atom Smoke Alarm Review

Did you know that over one-third (37 percent) of home fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms? That's a lot if you ask me. That is exactly why the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) recommends that smoke alarms be installed in every bedroom and on every level of a home. In addition, alarms should be tested on a monthly basis and batteries changed at least two times a year. If you have a bad memory like me, the best time to check your smoke alarms is during daylight savings time … [Read more...]

Learn How to Practice Portion Control On-The-Go!

When I'm bored, I tend to snack.....a lot! I also don't always eat the right foods because of convenience and laziness, especially when I’m at work. And the number one thing I do that is sabotaging my diet is that I don't use the right amount of food when I eat and so I tend to overeat (at times) - which isn’t a good thing, obviously. Portion control can be a difficult feat, especially when it comes to busy schedules and always snacking on-the-go. Here are some simple tips from Hershey’s … [Read more...]

But while browsing through my favorite blogs (I have TONS of favorites), I came across a fun "About … [Read more...]

New year, new resolutions - isn't that the norm with practically everyone once the old year is over? I used to make New Year’s resolutions but I stopped. I noticed I wasn't keeping them (it was usually lose weight & eat right) and it got annoying. I was frustrated with myself for not sticking it through so I will not make any New Year’s resolutions. But...... I will say that I did vow to make better choices to start incorporating more fruits and vegetables into mine and my family’s … [Read more...]
