Hi, everyone! As a co-host of the Craft Frenzy Friday and Motivation Monday linky parties, I choose some of my favorites from those parties each week to feature in a special mid-week post.

Not Your Average Thermostat (Lennox iComfort® S30)

September 15, 2015 By Lauren

#lennoxartproject #ad thermostat

This is a sponsored post for Lennox through Sverve. All opinions expressed are entirely my own. This summer, I had foot surgery. My surgery means that I haven't been very mobile lately. My foot has healed much since my surgery, but I am still hobbling around! So home technology that can make my life easier grabs my attention! That's why the I am intrigued by the Lennox iComfort® S30, a wireless-enabled touchscreen thermostat. Since my foot surgery, I've had to ask my husband and daughters to do things for me -- even little things like turning down the thermostat when it gets too warm in Continue reading...

Handi-Treads Review

July 30, 2015 By Lauren

Full Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received item(s) that were either gifted to me in exchange for this post and/or I was compensated for my participation. All opinions are 100% mine. I never used to worry about falling at my home until I slipped on my icy driveway in 2014 and broke my wrist! A metal plate was put in my wrist to repair the damage. Winter 2015 was a LONG cold winter, so I was worried about falling again! When Handi-Treads gave me the chance to try out their non-slip stair treads, I said yes! Handi-Treads, which come in a variety of colors, have a raised-button Continue reading...

Wednesday Linky Party Favorites

Happy Monday! How is everything in your neck of the woods? Where I live, everyone is getting ready for lots and lots of SNOW!! We are talking a BLIZZARD here! So, before the storm arrives, I thought I'd take the time to share my favorites from the A Little Bit of Everything linky party, which I co-launched with some of my blogging friends last Wednesday. First up, I love the rainbow-striped wall that Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom painted for her daughter's room. She used a laser level to get the even stripes. BTW, did you know that a laser level actually sticks to the wall? I didn't know that! Continue reading...

Should You Go Solar?

October 8, 2014 By Lauren

adding solar energy to your home

What does fall weather make you think of? I think of fall leaves, hayrides, pumpkin picking and fall home decor! But I also think of chilly fall nights and rising home energy bills! It makes me want to put on a pair of fleece PJs and hide under some warm covers! I'd love to find a way to reduce my home's energy bills this fall and upcoming winter. My husband and I have already installed an energy-efficient furnace, an energy-efficient Nest Learning Thermostat and replaced some of our windows with energy efficient ones. We also do little things to conserve energy like turn down the heat Continue reading...

Psychology of Paint Colors for the Home

May 29, 2014 By Lauren

A friend of mine has a red dining room, while I have a yellow kitchen and a green bedroom. Red is a popular color for dining rooms, while yellow is a common kitchen color. I am not sure how popular green is as a bedroom color, but I am sure I'm not the first person to choose the soothing hue for bedroom walls! Do you ever wonder why certain colors get chosen for certain rooms of a home? The Painters of Louisville have the answer! They have a fun infographic that explains the "psychology of color" and why certain colors are good choices for specific rooms. For example, red is a good choice Continue reading...
