We are always on the lookout for interesting tools and homeowner helps to share with our audience. During a quick (is there ever such a thing?) trip to Target, we spotted a new offering from the company that makes Zuru Bunch O Balloons water balloons. We've used those on many occasions with the grands. They are so much fun!

Well, we were intrigued with the new Bunch O Balloons Self-Sealing Party Balloons. We saw a starter pack that includes a pump, and a refill pack that comes with an adapter to use with an air compressor. As you know, we have lots of tools and we just happen to have an air compressor--light bulb moment. We decided to buy both so we could share how to use an air compressor to fill the balloons. 

But, first...we needed an occasion to celebrate! More on that later...

Were you one of the millions that purchased an Amazon Fire TV Stick on Prime Day? We confess, we did! The Fire TV Stick is hardware that plugs into an existing HDMI port on your TV. With this device you can watch Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and more!

In each of our homes, we have many Alexa enabled (Amazon) devices so it made sense to give the Fire TV Stick and Alexa Voice Remote a try.

This is the third Wet & Forget product that we've tried. Since we had good results with the outdoor cleaners, we decided to head inside the house to see if the Wet & Forget shower product would work equally as well. 

Steph does not like to clean--well, does anyone really like to clean? She's been looking for something that would minimize the amount of shower cleaning that needs to be done on a regular basis. After some research, she found the Wet & Forget shower product and has been using it for a year now.

What's the ultimate picture hanging tool? It's this Bosch laser level! It's not really for hanging pictures--it's true purpose is to quickly square the layout of a room. We aren't doing any major building anytime soon, so we did a quick demo just so you can see it in action.
