Whistling Tea Kettle


Everyone in our family seems to have different tastes. My youngest daughter loves hot chocolate only, my middle daughter loves all hot beverages, my son likes tea and coffee best, dad only likes hot tea, and I like it all. Because of this, it is difficult to satisfy everyone's cravings and likes every time.

Now I have that magical ability with my new Whistling Tea Kettle.

After putting some water into it, turning on the burner, and waiting for the stainless steel cap to whistle from the steam, I am able to make everyone's wishes come true making the beverages of their choices in their own individual cups. The tea kettle holds plenty of water so I am able to make steaming cups for all five of the members of my family with water to spare. I love the silicone handle that allows me to lift the kettle straight from the burner after the whistle sounds without burning my hands. #ChefsLimitedTeaKettle



I received the kettle free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

The tea kettle pairs nicely with my new pour over coffee cup that I recently also received for review in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. These would make the perfect pair to gift to any busy mom!

Easy & Quick Decorating

Christmas has long been one of my favorite times of year. I love to see the children's enthusiasm as we celebrate different traditions. We usually purchase and decorate our tree the weekend after Christmas. This year since the weather was unseasonably warm, we decided to decorate outside of our house early.

We placed lights and bows on the lamp post, bushes, and railings. We were saved from crawling up a ladder to place lights on the house however thanks to our new laser light projector.

 After much thought and consideration, we found our favorite spot for the light projector in our yard. We did need an extension cord to connect the light to power because the cord attached was much too short to reach any outdoor outlets.



The projector attaches to a stake that can be placed into the ground. A screw with a teeth-like grooved connection allows you to angle the light to the desired height and then secure it.



Once night came and the light was powered up, hundreds of little red and green dots covered our home without all the ugly cords of string lights and without the headache of climbing on a ladder and untangling lights as you installed them.



Without much effort at all, our home is ready to be a neighborhood hit this Christmas season.  #christmaslaserlights

I received these lights at a reduced rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
