It’s true, you can deny it if you want, but you know, as well as I do, that when kids get older, the best thing to give them for birthdays and other holidays is gift cards. Gift cards are, in my opinion, the best invention ever! Yes, some may argue that they are not personal and that it’s real easy to just stop and pick one up anywhere with

Got Hot Flashes? Get a Cooling Blanket!

Verified Mom - Phyllis — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 21:05:11 +0000

As I am aging and reaching that later in life female stage…ugh, I tend to get a lot of hot flashes. I’m always asking if it’s hot in here or if it’s just me. Usually, I get, “It’s just you”, from all those in the room. It kills me! My body feels like it’s on fire from the inside out. I am always turning the air conditioning down to subfreezing temperatures and every time my … Continue Reading...

Open Letter: Samsung Ice Makers are DEFECTIVE!

I’m, just going to come right out and say it, Samsung Ice Makers Are Defective!

UPDATE – After going back and forth a few times I did eventually settle for a percentage lower than what was initially … Continue Reading...

5 Things You Can’t Live Without #NovemberBlogChallenge

Verified Mom - Phyllis — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 16:55:13 +0000

This topic was a hard one for me. I apparently like a lot of material things and that doesn’t sound too good, does it? There are things that I can’t live without, like my mom & dad, my husband, my kids, close friends, and my pets. But, I do have certain material things that I just can’t simply imagine my life without. And, they are extremely random!

Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher is the king (or queen) of dishwashers! #AD @BOSCHHOMEUS @BestBuy #boschdishwasher – #boschcrystaldry – #boschkitchen – #mynewboschdishwasher

Verified Mom - Phyllis — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 00:30:37 +0000

Bosch 800 Series; let’s talk dishwashers. I know from experience that once your dishwasher breaks it’s like all havoc breaks loose and you don’t know what you’re going to do with yourself….or your dishes. Do you wash them? Do you make your kids wash them? Does your spouse volunteer to wash them? Whoever washes them suddenly becomes so appreciative of the actual dishwasher itself. Why? Because it’s a tedious, time-consuming job that usually no one … Continue Reading...

Verified Mom - Phyllis — Thu, 30 May 2019 01:06:53 +0000

When I think about luxury outdoor living I basically picture my entire family room outside. However, living in the midwest I can’t fully leave everything outside without taking some precautions.

When creating a functional and comfortable outdoor living space, you need to keep the elements in mind. With the SunBrite Veranda Series Outdoor 4K UHD TV you don’t have to worry about the rain. It is a weatherproof TV built for full-shade outdoor spaces. You … Continue Reading...
