Did you know this?

So we are on the way to the store last night and my husband is telling me about something he figured out about his phone after having it for almost a year. I was driving so I asked well what did you learn?  He said when he is taking a selfie or a picture he didn't like having to push the circle camera button so he learned he can just push the up or down button for the volume on the phone instead.

I quickly say well I wonder if that will work on my phone too. He has an android and I guess he just thought I was already doing it it that way so he took mine and sure enough my apple phone does this as well. Sometimes I feel like I am the last to learn these simple things.

Yes even old dogs can learn new tricks. Did you know this or is this new to you too?

So ready to decorate the walls

One thing exciting about moving or redecorating is that you can rethink, remove, move around, or totally change up what you already had. One easy way is with pictures or art. I love these mats from Americanflat. What is really awesome is that it comes with a set of 25 mats, backs, and sleeves you can have a really nice crisp look throughout your home. 

I love the 11x14 beveled mats and can not wait to slip in my 8x10 photos to really make our new home feel more like our home. with the included sleeves you can even use these for art displays at fairs, art galleries, stores, etc. 

The Americanflat mats, backs, and sleeves can be found at the affiliate link below.

Vimtag Camera for Pets

When we first got this the girls thought we were going to spy on them. It is slotted for pet use but you can use it for people use as well, from surveillance to just keeping an eye on your children.

Since this is slotted for pets I would like to say how nice this is to have if you have to work overtime and need to check on your pet, or if you are just on vacation having left your pet with a sitter in your home. You can easily check up on your pet and sitter to see how they are doing.

It is like a Nanny cam for your pet. We had a problem with one of our cats making a mess and we were able to figure out which cat was the culprit and help them get back on the good path quickly.

This camera is easy to setup and control from your home or from far away you can move the camera around up and down as well as left to right. We would personally like to see better HD quality but for the price it is pretty well made.

This Camera can be found on Amazon.

Snug Baby Monitor for Smartphones

This is quite a nice baby monitor. Way better then we ever had with our older children growing up. We had the kind that just had sound, but this one has video which is awesome. Believe me this is more than just a baby monitor, think nanny cam, house video monitoring, etc. 

You will need a mini USB card which we didn't have because we had just gotten rid of all of ours but it really is an easy fix and one that will be remedied soon. While you are away from home or even just in another room you can check on your snug with most android and apple products. We use it with my iPad Mini and it works great. 

My husband actually set this up and he said it was not hard to do, easier than some of the bluetooth products he has tried setting up in the past. I love that it is in color. Great product for a great price and is well worth the piece of mind it gives.

The Snug Baby Monitor can be found on Amazon.

Ruff N' Tuff Camera Bag

This camera bag from Ohuhu is the best bag I have had so far for carrying my camera, ipad, etc with me to do blogging trips, family get togethers, family picture day's, sports events, concerts, media events, etc.

I actually have room for extra items when I get them. This bag has two side pockets a zipper pouch on the front, a smaller zipper pouch inside of the bag, and then a removable padded liner with two adjustable velcro dividers that you can move to where you need them. This bag is washable on cold and I air dry it.

This bag is well made reminds me of the bags you might find a safari person wearing while taking photos on a photography job.

You can find this Camera bag on Amazon.
