Keeping Pets and Children Safe



I love these so much better then regular plug protectors because they are paint-able. My children, grand children, visiting children, or animals won't be messing around with the outlets because they won't be able to find them.

Love this idea and wish they had these years ago. This is also great if you have a outlet that has a 240 outlet so that no one plugs into it mistakenly, saving not only a big jolt but also from products being ruined.

We once rented an apartment and plugged in our TV when we moved in and the outlet blew out TV up, our landlord wouldn't replace our TV and didn't even know there was a 240 outlet in the living room. Long story short, we always check the currant of all of our outlets before plugging in for the first time.




You can find the CoverPlug on Amazon.


Whave CoverPlug has to say about their product.
Sharing your home with your dog involves taking responsibility for the dog's safety around electrical outlets and other potential hazards in the house. Dogs are curious creatures, especially when young or bored, and while an electrical outlet may not seem like an obvious toy of choice -- then again, neither does a remote control -- all it takes is one claw into an outlet to shock or even kill him. You can easily prevent this by thinking ahead and dog-proofing your electrical outlets.

The COVERPLUG™ is a durable, molded, and paint-able plastic panel that plugs right into an electrical socket to cover the entire outlet. This innovative outlet cover is held securely in place by posts on the back that align with the ground openings and require no tools for installation or removal. They are made in the USA and use a specially designed plastic that is easily paint-able to match your wall color.

Bamboo Cutting Boards




I grew up with wooden cutting boards but I have to say I really like the bamboo cutting boards the best, they don't warp, they look fantastic in my kitchen or when they are used for entertaining, and they clean up in a snap.

Although I don't use my bamboo cutting boards for meat, that is reserved for my glass cutting boards only. I do like that the Pratico Goods cutting board has a recessed area to catch juices from fruit which makes cleaning up my counters a snap too.

We are a big family so I really enjoy the larger cutting boards like this but still have enough room in my life for smaller cutting boards as well. This cutting board comes in two sizes, mine is the larger size. At 18 x 12 x 3/4 in I find this the perfect size.

You can find this cutting board and the smaller cutting board from the same company on Amazon.


  • ✔ GREAT FOR FOOD SAFETY - High quality small cutting board & serving tray made from 100% premium bamboo with no added dyes or stains which is toxin free and has natrual anti-bacterial properties
    ✔ EASY TO STORE & DURABLE - Measures Extra Large 18 x 12 x 3/4 in provides space for preparing and serving cheese, crackers, fruits, & small kitchen cutting jobs. High quality bamboo resists knife scaring and warping
    ✔ GENTLE ON KNIVES - Bamboo is strong and dense as hardwoods, but unlike glass or plastic cutting boards, won't dull your kitchen knives
    ✔ VERSATILE & NO MESS - Compact size and reversible makes for a great small cutting board, cheese board, or epicurean cutting board. Large juice and drip groove keeps liquids on the board and not all over your counter
    ✔ EASY TO CLEAN & LIFETIME WARRANTY - Less work to clean than wood cutting boards simply wash with warm water and soap and air dry. Peace of mind with no-hassle lifetime warranty
