You’ve probably heard us talk about indoor air quality before. It’s been on our minds a lot, especially with everything that’s been happening recently. The pandemic, the wildfires – they’ve really underscored just how important the air we breathe inside our homes and workplaces really is.

Now, you know us, we like to find solutions. And that’s where these air purifiers from DH Lifelabs come in. They use this stuff called HOCl and Plasma technology – it’s been around for ages, keeping places like hospitals and airports clean. And these purifiers, they can wipe out 99.9% of airborne viruses and bacteria. That includes the pesky SARS-CoV-2 virus, you know, the one causing all the COVID-19 trouble.

The folks at DH Lifelabs have a model called Aaira + HEPA that’s pretty neat. It combines purification and filtration, doing exactly what the CDC is recommending. It’s perfect for places that need that extra bit of caution, like schools and medical offices. But really, it’s good for any of us wanting to keep our indoor air clean.

And let’s not forget about those wildfires. They can fill our homes with smoke and particles that aren’t great to breathe in. Having a good air purifier can help filter out those nasties, making our homes a safe haven even when the air outside isn’t so fresh.

Plus, these purifiers don’t just clean the air, they make it smell good too. No synthetic fragrances – just a clean, fresh scent. It’s like bringing a little bit of the great outdoors inside.

So, as we keep navigating these unpredictable times, it seems like a smart move to think about our indoor air quality. It’s about keeping our spaces healthy and comfortable, and looking out for each other. And with the help of technology from companies like DH Lifelabs, we can do just that.

Just about anyone who has chickens has seen these Automatic Chicken Doors. And I can tell you from first hand experience, that the ones made by Run-Chicken work great! I did have mine not open up once. We had freezing rain over the night and in the morning, the door was frozen shut. Just so you know, these doors have a safety device built in that keeps it from crushing your precious little chickens if it closes while the chicken is going through it. And it is that mechanism that keeps your motor from burning up trying to open when it can’t. So once I got the door thawed out, it was back to working great again! Anyways, Run-Chicken is giving away one of these awesome doors. They are set from the factory to open and close at dawn and dusk, but you can program it (with the app) to open and close whenever you want.

Run-Chicken also makes these modular Nesting Boxes. They’re made of Eco-friendly aluminum, not plastic. They fit together, so if you have more than one box (which is likely) they take up less space than the same number of square boxes. I also have used these nesting boxes, I have four. However, my hens usually fighting over one box. In fact, I had three of them inside jockeying for space once. They lay in the other boxes, but not as much as the one. With that said, Run-Chicken is also giving away one of these along with the door. Don’t you love Giveaways?!?

A new addition to Run-Chicken’s lineup is this Feeder. Now to give you some perspective, a 5-gallon bucket is 12″ x 14″ (that’s about 168 square inches). This feeder is 10.5″ x 17″ (that’s about 178 square inches). This is a pretty good sizes feeder! The Run-Chicken feeder holds 20 lbs (9 kg) of feed and provides enough food to keep 10 chickens full for a week or one chicken for 74 days! Now that’s piece of mind. I haven’t had the chance to use one yet, they’re brand new. But guess what? Yes, you guessed it! Run-Chicken is giving one of these away as well! Isn’t that awesome!?! One lucky winner is going to win a Run-Chicken T50 Automatic Chicken door, a nest box, and a feeder for their chickens! What an awesome Prize!!! And they come in several colors. Which color will you want?

Okay so here is how you can enter the Valentine’s Day Run-Chicken Giveaway: Click on the Rafflecopter Link below. That will take you to the Giveaway. It will have a list of things to do that will give you entries into the Giveaway. Some things you do once and some you can do every day to add to your chances to win.

When I was a child, my only passion was riding a bike. There was nothing like it. You could go faster than walking and it seemed as though you never got tired. You never know what type of a light bulb you might turn on by giving them the freedom to roam. So, enough of the nostalgic stuff, let’s take a look at this marvelously manufactured McLaren Carbon Fiber Balance Bike.

At the point where business meets the pavement are 12″ air filled rubber tires mounted on a lightweight magnesium alloy rim (inspired from McLaren Senna). And if you don’t know what that is, it is another product (like this balance bike) that is made by McLaren. Here is a picture of one:

Yeah, you can tell that they pay attention to detail. Now, I’m no expert, nor am I an engineer, but according to my research on Carbon Fiber (which is what the frame is entirely made out of) it provides the ultimate combination of weight to rigidity ratio.

At the Captain’s seat is high quality hand stitched leather for comfort and durability.

And it also has great gripping handlebars with exceptionally smooth steering; elegance intermingled with superior functionality.

As you can see from the ground up, you are getting one of the best balance bikes in the world for ages 3+. And every Balance Bike proudly wears a McLaren badge.

In your child’s pursuit in determining who they will become and what they will hold dear, you can help them to realize that elegance and great manufacturing isn’t a status to live up to, it is a standard that sets the bar. It should be what all manufacturers should strive to achieve, not to make it as cheaply as possible. This Balance Bike is made for durability and functionality, and it comes in two colors, McLaren Orange and Onyx Black.

You can get yours today by following this link: McLaren Carbon Fiber Balance Bike, and set the stage for your child’s passions and dreams. Somebody has to be among the next generation to excel, to achieve, to believe. Start them on the road to success by giving them a passion for the good things in life. Perhaps they will be driving flying machines some day and you will have paved the way to their future… Inspire their Passion!

And if you care to look into their Social Media Pages, just click on the appropriate icon below. Lots of people are always posting pictures and videos of their experiences with this product and there’s always new info to know there as well.

I don’t want to minimize any of the Elepho products because all of them are equally important, but for now, I am going to hone in on one of their products in this editorial; the eClip. Here is the link to their site if you would like to see their other products: https://elepho.com/

I also want to say before I get started, that forgetting your child’s needs for a short period of time doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent. And for those of you who never lose track of anything, that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen in the future. I just want you to have an open mind and know that Elepho has been thinking about how to make things safer and better for many, many years.

Your child is obviously your most precious cargo. What parent doesn’t want the best for them and will place their safety above anything else. Well, that’s exactly how Elepho feels. They have been spending countless hours innovating new ideas on how to keep our children safe.

Most of us have had the opportunity to meet our grandparents and perhaps even our great-grandparents. And if we look back to sixty years ago, life was so much different. Few TV’s, the radio was probably the biggest distraction. No computers, cell phones, or internet. Well, and people probably didn’t travel as much either. Aside from that, the mother almost always was a stay at home mom with only one mission in life; keeping the children safe. Hey, if I only had one thing to do, I could do that too.

Today, most parents both work. Some have more than one job. Add in a social life with internet, cell phone apps and conversations on multiple social media platforms; need I go on?!? Yeah, so occasionally we all have a momentary laps of reason. With eClip, it’s no sweat. They do the thinking for you. And for about the price of one trip to the fast-food restaurant down the street, you can have Elepho remind you every time you forget.

Now I’m not saying that it is part of your child’s DNA after purchase. You still have to remember to clip it on to your child and turn it on, but it works by Bluetooth and pairs with the app on your phone. And it works with Apple Phones as well as Android Phones.

Let’s say you go to the Mall and you get out of the car like you have 900 other times and guess what? You start to walk away from the car, just like you did the other 899 times. Well, the eClip app (which can be for Android and iOS devices) connects to eClip via low energy Bluetooth (BLE) and automatically notifies you if you move away from your car without your child. The app also allows you to set temperature alert levels, offers a wide range of alert sounds and even allows you to add your baby’s name and picture. Another great feature in the app is that it monitors the eClip battery and tells you when to replace it.

Simply attach eClip to baby’s car seat, diaper bag or seat belt and connect it to the eClip app. The app will alert you if you move more than 25 feet from the vehicle or if the temperature in your car is too hot or too cold.

In the last 20 years, more than 850 children have died from heatstroke in hot cars due to forgotten baby syndrome. While we know parents would never knowingly put their children in danger, statistics show that even the most loving parents have faced terrible tragedies. The people at Elepho wants to help you avoid what could happen to anyone. Here is their link: https://elepho.com/.

Here is a typical classroom with Trufluency Kids. As you can see, multiple children can learn from the same class (provided they are within the same age group) and parents are encouraged to participate so that they can help reinforce their learning. No extra time away from the home, no extra traveling, and no large groups of individuals that inevitably take away from each child’s individuality.

If your child wants to learn without mom and dad looking over their shoulder, well that can happen too. Trufluency Kids is there to help your child (or children) progress as efficiently as possible.One of those ways is to interact with others who are also learning right along with your child. Why didn’t they have this kind of stuff when I was a kid?!?

These Spanish Classes for Kids is a great way to give your child a head-start in life and give them something that they can use for the rest of their life, this is definitely a good way to do it.

As a parent, we all want the best for our children. We want them to succeed in whatever they do and the more tools that we provide them with, the better prepared they will be in the future.

If you think that you might want to provide your child with a second language, why not check out Trufluency Kids. You can visit their sight and look into scheduling options that I’m sure will fit into your schedule. Here is the link: https://trufluencykids.com/spanish-class-schedule/.

What I enjoy about My Little Outfit is how you can change the outfits so they do not sit unused. We waste so much money on clothes. Our kids grow so quickly, and their minds change like the weather! 

With My Little Outfit, you can become a member and pay the membership fee. You can select the outfit you like, and all are the same price no matter the brand. When you receive it, your child could wear it once or a million times before you trade it in. You also have the option to keep it forever. When you are ready to trade in clothing, you can do just that. It can even be clothing you purchased at any store. Choose your new outfit, and your trade will be sent to you. It is that easy. 

As I mentioned the membership before, know that you do not have to take part in that. You can simply just buy outfits if you choose to. These amazing second-hand clothing is perfect for your little ones if you participate in the membership or not. It is beneficial to be part of the membership, but not at all required. You receive 4 outfits when you are part of the membership program, so very nice indeed. 

I know one of the things I put off is cleaning out my kids’ closets. When they grow, they just get pushed to the back of the closet. That is truly wasted. All the money I spend is either saved for the next in line, donated, or given to a friend. I could instead trade it in on a new outfit in a different size. This would keep their closets cleared out and save my wallet so much. 

The brands available are excellent. Ones I shop for regularly and even more! I love the idea you can update their closet at any time, and when they grow out of things, you get to swap them for new outfits they can fit into. 

Between growing children and different tastes in clothing, it can really damage your wallet. Luckily this is a way to keep their closet clutter-free with clothes they don’t wear and have them in clothes they enjoy and fit into anytime you need to! 

This is something new and unique that I wish I knew about sooner with my older kids. The clothing is size 0-6 and most of my children are past that age range, but still have 2 left! This will be something I incorporate in the future. I have so much money invested in their clothes, and if they didn’t like them, I would end up giving them away or waiting for the next kid in line. So this would have been incredibly useful then and still is now. 

Give it a shot and keep your child’s closet clutter-free with clothes they never wear or have grown out of. Trade them in for different outfits and keep their closet up to date with newer outfits. Give their wardrobe a break and your wallet!

There is no doubt that our children have an issue with screen time. We can set screen time, but let us be real here, we tend to let them have more as a reward. So that just increases their desire to have even more. 

The playroom in my home is usually a cluster of toys that I am constantly having to clean up with my kids. It becomes such a chore for myself I do not even want to go in there. Which I dislike because I want to spend as much time with my kids as possible. That is why I work from home. 

What if there was a way to create your playroom into something completely magical and useful? Would you be excited to know that it would decrease the clutter in your home and everything could be useful? I know those ideas alone make me completely excited.

Though the one thing that gets me even more, is how each area in the playroom can have your kid entertained and active! I know there are times when the weather is bad, I can not just shove my kids outside. Especially in the winter. This leads my kids to be less active and I dislike that. Our kids have energy they need to burn every day. 

If these things excite you, you should really continue reading the interview below that I had with Karri Bowen-Poole. She goes into detail on how she came up with this idea and how amazing it is. 

She took an idea and after a newspaper ad, her idea took flight! I find her story absolutely inspiring. Not only is she doing something amazing for kids and their families, but her dream came true. Should inspire anyone to follow their heart! 

Karri Bowen-Poole

Founder of Smart Playrooms

www.smartplayrooms.com

@smartplayrooms

In what ways has your past experience helped you to start Smart Playrooms? 

Karri: What has helped me the most in designing play spaces for children is my expertise as an educator (I have a Master’s degree in Education) and my experiences as both a teacher and mother. In order to design children’s playrooms, it is essential to have a complete understanding of child development and truly understand what activities engage, motivate and challenge children. 

Were you surprised to get so many calls on your first ad in the newspaper?

Karri:  Yes! I was so pleasantly surprised that I was able to get my first client relatively easily. There was clearly a need/ interest from parents and no one at the time was offering design or organization services specific to the playroom. I started the playroom design business!

How has creating these Smart Playrooms fulfilled your life? 

Karri: It has been my life’s mission to change the way kids play and learn which is why I went into teaching in the first place. My fifth-grade teacher inspired me in so many ways, and truly changed my life and I always wanted to be that teacher for other children. Becoming a teacher provided me with the opportunity to encourage students to love learning and to help shape their self-esteem and confidence. 

Is it complicated working with so many people with different tastes? 

Karri: Most parents are a little bewildered about what to put in the playroom. Most toys are lined up all along the walls and there is so much stuff everywhere. While clients do have specific tastes, I find they are really interested in providing developmentally appropriate and screen-free activities and organization systems that work really well. This is what I do best.

What has been your favorite design? 

Karri: My favorite design was my Montessori-inspired, clutter-free neutral playroom in Soho that I designed for two young children. I really love designing neutral rooms that are minimalist. I am truly a complete minimalist myself and my entire house is gray and white.

What attracted you to the idea of Smart Playrooms? 

Karri: The idea of Smart Playrooms came to me in the middle of the night, when I was brainstorming other ways of using all of my educational and teaching experience outside of the traditional classroom. I am the innovator of the term “Educational Design” and really started the movement of designing playrooms from an educator’s viewpoint and including challenging physical play kid gyms inside, like monkey bars and rock walls, etc…

What is the biggest challenge in these designs? 

Karri: The biggest challenge is deciding what activities are best suited for the kids and how best to use the space. In the basement, we are also often faced with challenging obstacles like low ceilings, minimum lighting, etc…

Was there a large learning curve as you started out? 

Karri: YES! I started Smart Playrooms focusing on the organization of the toys, storage, and how the children played. I really did not do any construction when I started out. Today, every design job involves some sort of construction or support or customization and requires so much more time and thought and the projects take much longer to complete.  But, boy are these spaces transformative and truly life-changing!

Is there anything you want people to know who are considering Smart Playrooms? 

Karri: Our goal at Smart Playrooms is to create child-focused designs that are customized to the ages and interests of the children. We always combine interior design principles and functional organizational system with a complete understanding of child development.  

Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself or Smart Playrooms?

Karri: In addition to our on-site design services in and around NYC and CT, we also offer 3 tiers of E-Design services for families that live outside of our area. In addition, we sell our favorite playroom products in our shop @smartd2playrooms, www.smartd2playrooms.com Lastly, we promise that WE WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOUR KIDS PLAY!

I truly loved interviewing Karri! There is so much that can be done for the playroom in your home. Down to utilizing every square inch to creating an indoor activity gym for your kids! 

When she has to take the kids’ interests along with the space available into her thought process to make the best playroom for them. It is quite the task to do both. I know that I do not have a brain suited for that kind of creativity. All I can do is organize a space, so it is amazing to see what she has done. 

I truly hope you enjoyed this interview and look into Smart Playrooms! You may find something amazing for yourself and utilize the space available to your kids to be creative and free to play.

Meet Karri Bowen-Poole

If you’ve ever heard the term “educational design,”  you have innovator and educator Karri Bowen-Poole to thank. As with most brilliant ideas, this one came to her in the middle of the night.  Given her master’s degree in education and 12 years as an elementary and preschool teacher, Karri’s first-hand experience of how young kids play and older ones learn, coupled with her five years as a mom observing her friends’ poorly-designed (and frequently ignored) playrooms, knew she was uniquely qualified to turn this “ah-ha moment” into a reality. So, she got to work. Once Karri refined her vision, she placed a single ad in her small, local paper to test the waters – she received eight phone calls and word spread from there. 

The founder of Smart Playrooms, Karri has spent the last 10 years revolutionizing the way children learn and play. She’s designed hundreds of playrooms for a variety of children – including the children of celebrities like Nicky Hilton, Dylan Lauren, and Dan Girardi –  and customizes each one to fit the needs and interests of the children. Karri regularly receives inquiries from families around the world, and her innovative, educational designs have been featured in a variety of magazines and newspapers, including House Beautiful and The New York Times. Karri’s 2019 renovation of her personal garage, which transformed the space into an amazing kid gym, yoga studio, and sleepover nook for her family, was recently highlighted on Inside Edition this past summer. Karri’s groundbreaking playroom concept provides children with open-ended, engaging spaces that grow alongside them. She’s pioneered an entirely new way for kids to play at home.
