Keep Kids Safe with Sanus Flat TV mount. Review and Giveaway

7/13/2013

Kid’s safety should be every parent priority. Since my son was born I am always looking for ways to avoid accidents at home. From all type of baby proofing gadgets, smoke detectors to even having mapping on our cell phones.

So knowing that you have to have locked cabinets where you keep your cleaning supplies is pretty obvious, however there are lots of dangers that most people and parents do not think about. Some of these dangers are the Flat Panel TV sets.

Due to increasing size and new ultra thin designs, today’s flat panel TVs can easily tip over when bumped or pulled, toppling off of furniture and causing injury or even death.

The statistics are pretty high to ignore them:

A 2011 US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report on flat panel TV safety revealed:
  • A child is killed every three weeks from an unsecured TV
  • Every 45 minutes a child visits an emergency room due to a TV tip-over related injury
  •  Between 2000 and 2011, 215 fatalities have resulted from TV tip-over
  • An estimated 17,000 people each year, the majority of which are children, are treated for injuries from TV tip-overs
  • Reported cases have increased almost 25% from 2006 to 2010, and over the last 10 years, injuries have increased by 31%

So what is the solution to keep your kids (and pets) safe from the Flannel TV panels? The answer is easy. You use wall mounts. But not all wall mounts are the same. Some of them are not very steady and accidents can still happen. So when choosing the wall mounts you need to choose a brand that you can trust.

And being the leading manufacturer of wall mounts, SANUS provides not only the brand name but a brand you can really trust. Not only the wall mounts are steady and safe but they are easy to install.

SANUS TV Mounting Tips:
  • Easy 1, 2, 3 installation with a wall template to ensure even placement
  • Online video walkthrough of simple installation available at any time
  • No additional tools necessary – all required installation hardware is included in package
  • Live customer support available 6 days a week
And I have really good news for you. You can win a flat panel SANUS TV Vuepoint Mount F180. The winner can choose the mount that fits their TV. Please note that this will not include the actual installation of the equipment.

Just enter the rafflecopter below to win.

A husband, a son and a dog. Yes my house can get smelly, and not a good smelly. I do not like air-fresheners because they are full of toxic substances. I like candles, but after a while it is hard to smell them. So when I heard about Sprinkles I really wanted to try them out and see if they were going to be the solution to have a nice and fresh smelling house.

And yes, they were! Pink Zebra Sprinkles are a unique scented wax melt that are available in around 51 different scents. The cool things about Sprinkles is that you can combine scents to make new one and you can sprinkle them on top of the candles that you have at home to create new scents as well.
I really enjoyed having the house smelling so great and I can tell you the melting smell lasted longer than some of the other wax melts I have tried before. The fact that I was able to combine scents made it even better.

If you would like more information about the Pink Zebra Sprinkles you can visit their Facebook Page.

Summer fragrances are great, and I cannot wait to see the winter ones!

Peet’s Coffee is releasing their new Single Cups and to celebrate they are hitting the road to hand out some cups that have the same great handcrafted coffee and great flavor that Peet’s is known for.  The cool part is that it’s up to America to decide where the cups are handed out. They are calling this the Give a Cup, the Internet’s first social sampling experiment!

Each week you can visit doyougiveacup.com and vote on a topic. The topics are fun, current and sometimes a bit quirky. The best part is that your votes determine where Peet’s Coffee will host their sampling events each week.

Also, when you vote on whether or not you give a cup about that week's subject, you'll get a coupon for the new Peet's Single Cups.

So what do I give a cup about?

I give a cup about being healthy and having a great relationship with my family. Family and family values are really important to me. I just got to that point in life where spending time with my family is what makes me happy. I give a cup about finding cool things to do with my son and being the best role model I can be for him.

You can give a cup by following Peet's on Twitter, facebook or instagram

Remember to visit Give a Cup so you can vote and get your coupons!

So what do you give a cup about?

Having fun this summer at Cedar Point

7/11/2013

My husband and son visit family every year at Ohio. I usually stay behind, but this year I was able to tag along. I have heard so many cool things about Cedar Point from my son, that I knew I needed to go and ride the amazing roller coasters.
And call them amazing. The Dragster goes at 120 miles per hour and 420 feet in the air. That might cause a mini heart attack. And it is such a popular ride that the lines are long, but worth waiting for.

With roller coaster for both kids and adults, the park offers entertaining for everyone in the family. Since we love visiting Knott's Berry Farms in California we got the passes that allow us to visit all the parks, even the water parks in both states. The cool thing about the passes is that you get discounts at the stores and we also got early access to the park to avoid the big lines.

Now I understand why my son is such a big fan. I am looking forward to visiting again and have another rush of adrenaline. The park was so much fun!
