Grab My Button
Uh… What broke?
I came home the other day from work and everything was going on as normal. Kids were driving Crystal crazy, the dog was on the couch as he was not supposed to be, and the smell of dinner was lingering in the airmosphere. After food and playtime I noticed that it was really warm in the house. When I wandered over to the thermostat it read 85 degrees! I was like “what the crap…what do I do now?” We don’t have any sort of home protection plan that covers this and I don’t know how to fix it.
My father-in-law came over and took a look at it and said either the fan motor or a small electrical transistor went out. I asked him if he knew how to fix it but that turned out to be a “no”. He did know a guy that works on them and said that it shouldn’t take too long to fix. I called and a couple of days later he came out and fixed me right up. Turns out it was a small itty-bitty little electrical component. I’m not saying how much that little thing and the visit cost me. Since then I have looked into some ways to safeguard me against little things that go out and break on me. Home warranties like what American Home Shield has to offer look really appealing. I just know that the I need to look into something before I spend all my free time on the phone trying to find someone to fix the junk when it breaks and then go broke trying to pay them.
Transformers Beast Wars Review
We like Transformers at our house. Long before Sam Witwicky came wandering into our Transformers movies we were serious fans. In the late 90’s there was a series that tried to re-kindle the magic of the series in the 80’s. This series was called Transformers Beast Wars and it was quite revolutionary. The great peeps over at Shout! Factory have revived this hit is available now for you to buy and love.
When the descendants of the treacherous Decepticons — now known as Predacons — land on a mysterious planet in search of the powerful fuel Energon, it’s up to Optimus Primal and the heroic Maximals to stop them before they conquer the universe!
In 1996Transformersfans were introduced to this stunning saga created by Hasbro and the studio behind the groundbreaking computer-generated animated series ReBoot. Beast Wars ran for three amazing seasons, won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation and introduced a new generation of fans to the astonishing world ofThe Transformers! Now you can see the first 26 incredible episodes of this breathtaking animated epic.
Ryan’s Rating: 9 out of 10!!
Pros: Kids love it, new twist to some familiar characters, and the chance to get the entire series at once or just a taste!
Cons: The CG is nowhere near what we have today and can seem dated…but it is so that is okay.

Things Remembered Review and Giveaway
Things Remembered has the hook up for dad on his day. Looking through their pamphlet for Fathers Day, I see all kinds of great stuff: watches, bracelets, dog tags, usb pens, multi-tools, money clips, mugs, frames and my favorite, flasks.
Not only does Things Remembered have great gifts but you can get it all engraved with dad’s name or a little message on how much he means to you. Like I said, my favorite is the flask. I got mine engraved with my name. It holds 7 ounces of pure liquid bravery for sharing or not. It has a beautiful sleek gunmetal finish. Right there that says, “I’m a man!”
I love this flask. I’ve always wanted one and I am sure I am not the only dad out there who does. It is an awesome gift that just keeps on giving and with his name engraved on the side, it has that personal touch. This tells everyone, “I am a man and this here flask is mine so back off.(actual product does not really talk)” And if dad isn’t a drinker, Things Remembered has a ton of great products that make excellent gifts. Check them out.

Racer Treadz Review
Fathers Day is coming and some people are scratching their heads wondering what to get for dad. One option is Racer Treadz flip flops. I’ve walked many a mile in a pair of flip flops and I can say that this product did not add or take away from that experience. The pair I received to try out were no different than the $1 pair you can find at the department store, real plain and simple. They do have some added value for those who love NASCAR and all that it stands for.
RacerTreadz was founded with the Race Fan in mind. Our goal was to provide the fans with an authentic piece of race history. A product made from something that had significance to the drivers and teams during the race. We wanted to give fans “A Real Piece of the Race”. With that in mind, RaceTreadz Flip Flops were created. We entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Good Year Racing which give us access to the tires used in NASCAR races. This was a great moment for us, the start of the RacerTreadz product line.
What sets these shoes apart is embeded in each shoe is a piece of Goodyear tire used in an actual NASCAR race. If the dad in your life is a huge NASCAR fan, then these are what the doctor ordered. I think any NASCAR fan would appreciate the piece of racing history laid at their feet as they walked about in their countless other NASCAR memorabilia clothing.
Available in Men’s sizes 8-12, and range in price from $12.99-$39.95. They can be purchased online or at Dollar General Stores.

Dr. Mary Side Sleeper Pillow Review
For YEARS I have been waking up tired, sore, and always with a headache. I used to think it was everything else like too much work or not enough caffiene in my day. It never crossed my mind it might have been my pillow. Whouda thunk it right? The peeps at The Pillow Bar let me know about their Dr. Mary Side Sleeper pillow and went ahead and sent one my way.
It may look a little funny or even like a large elbow macaroni but this pillow means business. This uniquely shaped pillow was developed specifically for the side sleeper by Dr. Mary Collings, noted Dallas Sports Chiropractor. Dr. Mary Collings treats many patients to include NHL, PGA, and NBA players who all embrace her Dr. Mary Side Sleeper pillow to insure their best performance. The Pillow Bar’s Dr. Mary Side Sleeper $295….well worth it!
The Pillow Bar is a free-standing “bar” that contains all of the ingredients to create a luxurious customized down pillow. The pillows are designed to match a sleep style by pairing the shape and fill to perfectly compliment the stomach, back, or side sleeper. The Pillow Bar has ten retail locations in addition to the website store, online at www.thepillowbar.com

The Carpet Dilemma
As some of you may know we are desperately trying to get our house ready sell. It has been on the market for around five months now. The house is becoming a little more than a shell of it’s former self with most of our family photos taken down and half of our belongings boxed up. While making little improvements like touching up the paint on the base boards, keeping the yard imaculate, and repainting the entire house there is still one dilemma we don’t know the best way to handle. The carpet in the boys room.
This room has tons of stains on the carpet from Kool-Aid to baby powder explosions. We have tried everything from spot treating to using two different carpet cleaners . We have even thought about getting a carpet cleaning service to come out and take care of it. We aren’t sure what we are going to do yet and don’t want it to be an eyesore. We were thinking about just replacing the entire room with new carpet but then we didn’t know what the best style or color would be. The realtor said we could do one thing and that would be go to our local home improvement store and pick out several different types of carpet we would be comfortable with and get samples to let the potential buyers pick out which one they like the best and have it installed as soon as we move all of the stuff out of the boy’s room.
Whichever way we go with at least the next family that buys our house will have great carpet!
