Smart Weigh 500 x 0.01g Digital Pro Pocket Scale









I am a stay at home mom. I have two kiddos, Samantha (4 months) and Wyatt (2 years). Recently a close friend of mine told me about her Ebay account. She goes to garage sales and buys items specifically "like new in box" and turns around and sells it on ebay. It would be an easy way for me to help the family out by earning a little extra cash. I recently came upon some playing cards, yu-gi-oh and pokemon.

I thought it was perfect when I was given the opporunity to test this Smart Weigh Digital Pro Pocket Scale.
I could weigh my mail and make sure I have enough postage and use it to weigh smaller items to sell on ebay, like the pokemon cards.

Here are some details on the scale
  • Features - the top500 is strong, accurate, fast, and user-friendly; will work great for any of your mailing, jewelry, reloading, and cooking needs
  • Functions - this scale can double up as a postal scale; the pcs function gives you an accurate count and the hold function will lock weight readings
  • Design - features a clear LCD screen lit by a bright blue backlight; will display readings in g, OZ, OZT, dwt, GN, and CT
  • Precision - manufactured with high precision sensors to provide the most accurate weight readings; weighs up to 500 grams in 0.01 Increments
  • Includes - 2 AAA batteries with a two minute auto shut off feature; the tare function will provide a net weight
I really like the sleek design of the scale. Its not made of a shiny material, so you do not have to worry about finger smudges when you use the scale. The scale is extremely accurate and easy to use. It is also nice that it comes with a hard plastic case.

Buy it here on Amazon

Magnetic Screen Door by iGotTech











I live in Florida, I have been here my whole life. I am a Floridian! My apartment is by the water and we deal with mosquitoes and no-see-ums. Carrying a 13 lb baby in an infant carrier has become a hard task. Usually I would rush to get my daughter inside and go back outside to get any other things I left in the car. As much as I tried to be fast, we typically ended up with at least one mosquito in the house. Those buggers usually target me or my kids! I would wake up with itchy bumps on me and see little bites on my kiddos... NOT FUN!

I have seen this type of product over and over on tv commercials. I always thought to myself "I wonder if it actually works". I was excited to be given the opportunity to try one out! When I got the package in the mail I immediately tried to put it up. At first I was devastated, the doorway is TOO WIDE! I was talking to my fiance' about having to return the product when he decided to help me put it up.

After we figured out it would work, It was really easy to put up. I decided it would be easier to put the screen up inside the apartment, my door opens out and I could not leave my door open if it was set up outside. I used the tacks to tack up the top of the screen, the velcro on the sides and i tacked the bottom of the screen down. I even added a couple tacks where the velcro was , for added support. You see my son loves to play in curtians and I new he would be tugging on it.


I love this screen! It is so easy to go in and out and the magnets snap together every time! I do not have to worry about mosquitoes, no-see-ums or moths getting in to my apartment any more! I am also happy that I can take it with me when I move (we are house hunting). I just have to buy some inexpensive tacks and voila I can put it up once we move!

(2 Pack) 6 Foot Extension Cables by Solid Cordz



I'm not sure where to start with this review....
Its about extension cables *scratches head*}
I apologize it might be a really short review

I guess I can start off by saying... all the other extension cables are really cheap ones and I honestly do not know where they were bought... i think one we used to use to plug in some animated santa and mrs clause decorations at my parents old house when i was a little kid. HAHA!

I used one extension cable so far. I plugged it in behind my bed so when I plugged my phone in to charge i could actually put it on the bedside table and not IN the bed with me!

I can tell the quality is great, the casing on the cord is very sturdy and thick. The prongs seem to be made out of good material too, would take a long to even think about bending them.

I am really glad i recieved this product for free using tomoson.com
it was an item I really needed and I am REALLY happy with the quality of the product!
I would definitely recommend buying these cords.

Purchase at Amazon.com

Window Bird Feeder





I am a bird person and have been ever since I was little. My parents used to live really close to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary in Indian Shores, FL. My parents would take me all the time as a kid. I even have a picture of me a few feet from a pelican; which I was the same height as the pelican at the time! I volunteered and fed baby birds for a summer and a half during high school and got over 200 volunteer hours that way. So it was a no-brainer that I would get this bird feeder! I love birds and love to watch them!
By the way here is the link to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary... if you are in the area go check them out!
They are open till sun down.
Learn about birds, donate or even volunteer!
https://www.seabirdsanctuary.com/

OKAY now that i deviated some! Onto the review!
I was happy when I got this bird feeder... I also ordered birdseed so I was set and ready to put this out!
It easy to install but kinda not at the same time... I first used windex on my window so there was no dirt to get in the way  (my window had a lot of specks of dirt on it so cleaning the window so the suction cups didnt work too well). There are 3 suction things in a triangle formation and they are  really close together so the top one overlaps the bottom two. It took me a while to get the top one to suction right...but once it did the feeder stuck REALLY well to my window!

The whole suction cup set up was great for me, because i do not have to dig a hole to have a post for a bird feeder, nail one into a tree, or nail anything into the side of the building. All of these i could not anyways do because I live in an apartment complex. With this I can take it with me when and if we decide to move.

The whole thing is made out of a very sturdy plastic so when you open your curtains/blinds you can see inside the feeder and see any birds that come up to eat while inside your home! I thought this was SOOO cool! My son and i can sit in my bed and watch the birdies!!

I really cant wait to see some birds come up and eat! First my kiddos and I got sick and now I have been so busy... I just have not had the time to relax and sit down to see what birds come up to eat from it... but i REALLY do love my feeder!

I would DEFINITELY recommend buying this bird feeder!
Buy on amazon!
