NEWS – I’ve been there – you know – watching my kids play soccer on a cold and blustery day. My tush would have thanked me had I bought a Gobi Heat Terrain Heated Camping Chair. This collapsible steel-frame chair provides nine hours of heating time via two zones and charges in about 3-4 hours. …

REVIEW – Last year we put up our holiday lights on Halloween and took them down on Valentine’s Day. Our 5-year-old projector switches from ghosts to snowflakes to dots.

NEWS – I have a confession to make. I’ve never been sledding before. I’ve skied (badly), but I’ve never been on a sled. This is mainly because it was completely flat around my house where I grew up, so sledding just wasn’t a thing. My sledding days are past me at this point, but if …
REVIEW – The SnapFresh BBT-ZE20BW leaf blower is the lightest blower I’ve tried. The blowing power and working time from a single charge did not disappoint. Heavier hand-held blowers can be fatiguing either from their weight, the blow-back resistance, or both. The SnapFresh was pleasant to use in that it was not tiring to use. …

NEWS – Like a lot of preteens, my boys stopped wearing winter coats around the time they hit middle school. Didn’t matter how cold it got, a hooded sweatshirt was the best they would agree to. Last year, in my motherly angst, I dropped about $100 on a big-name workwear hoodie for one of them …

REVIEW – Here we go again with another Litheli product test and review. This time around, I am checking out the LitheLi 40V Cordless Brushless Snowblower.

REVIEW – The Denqir Mini Chainsaw is made for limb pruning and small tree cutting when loppers aren’t powerful enough for the task. But it can cut wood up to about 3”-5” diameter, depending on which blade is attached. With two rechargeable batteries included in the kit you could cut a lot of wood before …
