Enjoying More Me Time with Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950

October 28, 2019 By Lauren 4 Comments

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of ECOVACS. Today I am sharing about the new Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950, a handy robotic vacuum that's adding more "me" time to each day! My home has wall to wall carpeting in every room except the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms. That is a lot of carpeting! That means I have to spend lots of time vacuuming -- at least, I used to! Now that I have the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950, I can enjoy some "me time" while my new robotic vacuum does all the work for me! My new robotic vacuum does double duty cleaning for me -- it doesn't Continue reading...

Oscar’s Oasis Now on Netflix

March 22, 2017 By Lauren

This post is sponsored by Oscar's Oasis. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. When I was little, I watched cartoons like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, in which Wile E. Coyote chased the Road Runner all over the Southwest American desert. The only dialogue ever spoken in those cartoons was the "beep beep" of the Road Runner. Yet those cartoons were very entertaining! There aren't a lot of cartoons like those these days for kids. So I'm happy to discover the animated series, Oscar's Oasis by TeamTO, available to stream on Netflix. Now, my kids can enjoy cartoons like I Continue reading...

I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” #PeeHappens There are so many changes as a woman ages. I am in my upper 40s, and since I've hit my 40s, I've noticed some new things in my life. I still am a night owl, but now that I am older, I can't spring back from those late nights as easily as I used to! I've also developed a low thyroid condition, so I tend to have a little less energy and have practically no Continue reading...

Nest Learning Thermostat Review and Haven Blog Conference!

February 27, 2014 By Lauren

As you may remember, I participated in the NRG Residential Solutions Learn & ConserveSM Blogger Challenge and a Nest Learning Thermostat Giveaway with a few other local bloggers in January.
