Spicy Pumpkin Soup and KenmorePro Blender Giveaway

pumpkin soup
I like using the high powered KenmorePro Heavy Duty Professional Blender to make both cold and hot recipes, as it is versatile. This blender is special because we can prepare warm soups within a few minutes by simply adding the ingredients, puréeing it and blending it on maximum speed for 5 minutes until it starts to steam. We can also use it to make smoothies, soups, sauces, and for other meal prep.

Compact Chamberlain Universal Mini Garage Door Remote

Chamberlain Universal Mini Garage Door Remote
Recently, we shared how we brought our garage door to life using the Chamberlain MyQ Garage Door Controller that we find very handy. When we use the app to close the garage door it makes a loud beeping sound to warn that it is closing, and we feel that this sound can attract attention. However, when using the new Chamberlain Universal Mini Garage Door Remote to close the garage door it does not make the warning sound since we are physically close by.

Catalyst Case for the iPad Mini

When making an investment in tech products for the family to use, it is best to ensure that we prevent the device from getting damaged. In the case of tablets such as the iPad, putting a case that allows us to use it carefree gives us a peace of mind. We tested a Catalyst Case on our iPad Mini 4, and found it to have both pros and cons.

SwimZip Long Sleeve Rash Guard

swimzip swimwear rashguard
When looking for swimwear, it is getting crucial that we look for clothing that protects our skin from getting damaged by harmful UV rays. It is much easier to get sunburnt in North America within the few months of warm weather, so taking precautions to minimize sun exposure is quite important. We like to choose swimwear that provides more coverage and protection.
