Humidifiers are a must-have during cold, dry winter months when colds and sinus infections love to ravage all of us at one point or another. Humidifiers do exactly what their name suggests – they provide humidity for a room, by converting standard tap water into a warm or cool vapor, which is released into the room. Now imagine a perfectly functional humidifier made over to be kid-friendly in terms of appearances, and you have yourself the perfect humidifier for a child! That’s what Crane USA had in mind when they designed their line of Adorable Humidifiers. Check these out:
Crane USA sent us the Hello Kitty Humidifier to review, and to say it’s a hit with Alyssa (who is obsessed with all things pink and Hello Kitty) is an understatement. It not only does a great job at providing soothing vapor for her bedroom (and a night light!), it also fits right in with her pink decor (pink walls, anyone?) and love of Hello Kitty!

A little while back we had the opportunity to review several selections of nuts from Santé Nuts. Santé Nuts started in Sara Tidhar’s kitchen. Sara had learned a secret nut-roasting technique from her grandmother, and she continued the tradition for her own family, and especially for her children, who enjoyed a snack that Sara enjoyed making for them, due to a nut’s nutritious nature. When circumstances required Sara to make ends meet on her own, Santé Nuts was born.
Santé Nuts sent us a package containing a selection of all four of their hand-flavored, hand-roasted nuts: candied pecans, candied walnuts, garlic almonds, and roasted salted pecans. I never used to be a fan of nuts, other than in smoothly blended peanut butter form, but since having weight loss surgery and making such drastic changes to my diet, I have been not only open to trying new things, but interested in trying new things. Nuts have been no exception. While they are a little high in fat, nuts offer plenty of protein (my top nutritional need, and one that cannot be supplemented or met with pills), which is why they initially got my attention. The delicious sounding flavors that Santé Nuts offers only served to entice me to finally give them a try!
We – myself, Daniel, my brother, and Alyssa – loved all of the nuts. My favorite is, without a doubt, the roasted salted pecans. Alyssa really enjoyed the candied walnuts, and my brother liked both the candied walnuts and the garlic almonds. We ate the nuts alone, but Santé Nuts offers exclusive recipes that combine their nuts with everyday foods such as salads, pancakes, and spreads – and I definitely have a few of these recipes bookmarked for future use.
If you’re after a delicious, healthy, and nutritious snack, or you just want to upgrade from plain nuts to something more spectacular, you’ll definitely want to try out Santé Nuts. Buy them online!

You know what sucks? Collection harassment. We’ve dealt with a bit of it in the past, and I heard horror stories from my mother and my grandparents about the intimidating phone calls and threatening letters they were recipients of; and there are plenty of personal accounts of harassment via collection agencies in magazines, Dear Abby type letters about stop collection harassment California in newspapers, and of course, online. But here’s the thing: even if you have a legitimate debt that needs to be paid back in full, you have the right to a life that is free of collection harassment. Debt collectors are supposed to know the laws, and they are supposed to follow them. Whether they don’t follow the laws because they don’t know them, or because they don’t want to, makes no difference. You, as a consumer, even an indebted one, have rights, and collection agencies need to respect that.

I live in a more affluent area of town and am blessed to say my husband and I have a rather large gated home. We have always been aware of the options for security systems but were never too interested in getting one until recently. We have always thought it a little paranoid to want to get security on our home until a woman down the street found an intruder in her home late one night. My husband immediately called north Augusta home security and started ordering every possible home security option available including video monitors with cameras on the perimeter of our home. I don’t know about you but this seems a little severe. Do we really need cameras all over the property? I guess he is just looking out for my safety for when he is out of town but I feel like we are a little on the paranoid side here. If there is someone already on the property then they have already made it past the security gate and that must mean that they really want in.
