Review & Giveaway! Mr. Beams Ceiling Lights

At the beginning of last summer, we purchased our first home! Like I have previously stated, we purchased a foreclosure so we have put quite a bit of elbow grease into making this house a home (and have quite a bit left to go!). It seems that shortly before foreclosing, the previous owners built-in the carport to add an additional living space. All of the big things were completed (there were walls and windows and nasty carpet) but a lot of the small things were left to be done which is where we are at right now.

We thought that this space would make the perfect playroom for Abby. It would give her a place to hold all of her toys and run wild while leaving our living room a relatively adult space (at least in theory). The problem is that the only light switch in the playroom is on the opposite side of the room that you enter on. So on these dark winter evenings you have to walk through the room in the dark and feel your way around for the light switch. Not fun for adults but it left Abby wandering around in the dark until we realized she went in there and could turn the light on for her.

Enter Mr. Beams and their Anywhere Ceiling Light. It is a wireless LED light (that never has to be replaced) with motion sensor that can be installed anywhere in your home that needs additional light! Whether it be your closet, attic, or even your porch!

Mr. Beam Ceiling LightThis product has made our lives so much easier! No longer do we have to search in the dark for a light switch plus Abby can go into her playroom and actually be able to see what toy she is looking for (plus seeing the light kick on lets us know where she is! Sneaky little thing!). Plus once we turn on the lights in the playroom, the Mr. Beams Anywhere Ceiling Light shuts off!

Amazed yet? Now it is your turn to own a Mr. Beams Anywhere Ceiling Light! Just leave a comment letting me know where you need additional light in your home! The winner will be selected Friday January 28th at 8am via random.org! Good luck!

Review & Giveaway! Big Paw Designs

I am a dog lover at heart. I never really grew up with one (I did have a cat who I believe thought he was a dog – and was the world’s best cat BTW) but I knew when I had a place of my own, I wanted to own a dog. It was fate when not even two weeks later, I was approached at VBS about taking a dog. Enter Charlie on the scene. I picked her up that night and we’ve been inseparable ever since! We added our second dog, Chloe, right after we were diagnosed infertile. Both of our dogs are rescued so it is something very close to my heart so when I got the chance to work with a company with a mission to help rescue dogs I jumped at the chance!

Introducing Big Paw Designs. They specialize in keeping your dog or cat hip and cool with great lines of accessories including collar tags, crate tags, and even jewelry! Of course they have wonderful items for us pet owners as well! What I love is that they have a line of products that benefit Used Dogs (rescue) in New Orleans featuring a one of a kind Fleur de Lis design! What dog wouldn’t look snazzy with this Woof Fleur de Lis collar charm? I received the Woof Fleur de Lis Keychain and let me just tell you that the design is adorable and the quality is amazing. And how great is this sticker – Used Dogs Make Better Pets. Be sure to head over to Big Paw Designs to check out all of their products! I know I will be placing an order!
