Road Trip!

Every year my friends and I go on a road trip to the west coast, and every year we get lost. It never fails we are all chatting and not paying attention and eventually realize were almost to Canada.

This year I am not letting that happen. The Magellan Roadmate 1424 GPS is going to save us gas money and time by telling us exactly which route to take. The GPS gives turn by turn directions by voice so even if no one is paying attention the GPS will be! It is easy to use and even has a touch screen.

I can not wait to get the trip started and enjoy the comfort of knowing were not getting lost this time.

Summer Party

At the end of every summer my family and I go up to our cabin and have an end of the summer party. This year I purchased a lot of my items for the party from Heartland America.

The Hotdog Roller and Toaster came in handy when we went down by the lake. Instead of dragging the grill all the way down the hill, we just hooked up an extension cord and cooked the hotdogs and buns right there! It is very convenient and the hotdogs taste extra authentic.

Another item I purchased was the Portable Ice Maker. Ice can be so expensive these days and it always seems to melt in the cooler, especially on those really hot days. The Portable Ice Maker was very efficient because it makes ice in just 6 minutes!


My Grandma always has a tough time sitting outside in the sun and heat, it gets so hot and the sun can be brutal. The Solmar Cantilevered Umbrella helped her out a lot by keeping her cool and shaded from the sun. We just put a comfortable chair on the beach and the umbrella right over her; she sat there all day and watched the kids swim.

Summer Time Sandals

One of my favorite things about summer is being able to wear sandals. It is always a hassle to have to put socks and shoes on, I would much rather slip on some sandals and go. Heartland America has such a wide variety of sandals for those warm months, and all the shoes are listed at reasonable prices.

One of my favorite sandals Heartland America has to offer is the Bass Sandals. They have a sling back design and a cushioned insole for comfort.

Getting More Life Out Of Senior Living!

My folks are getting up there in years and are having doing things they used to take for granted. My heart goes out to them. Here are a few things that really help.

Premium Rolling Walker
When shopping for a walker, you don't want to take chances. This is the most advanced, stable and easiest to use walker I've seen. It weighs under 15 lbs. and folds down so it's easy to transport from place to place. Just fold it down and put it in the trunk of the car. Piece of cake! It has brakes and a basket too.

Swivel Shower Stool
Everybody knows that bathtubs are dangerous places. That's especially true for seniors. This shower stool gives them a safe, stable place to sit while bathing - and helps them keep their independence and dignity too.

After the common hip and knee surgeries, these toilet support systems are very useful:

Livin' The Good Life On The Links!

Golf season is in full swing. And I came across a few items that let me get even more enjoyment out of the game.

If you're like me, you sometimes struggle with your short game - getting the ball in the air from sandtraps and other difficult lies. On the advice of a friend, I gave this Mel Factor super-sized wedge a try. It's hyped as being "the easiest to hit wedge in history," and wouldn't you know it - they're right! The sweet spot is huge so it's almost impossible to shank one. Try it, you'll love it!



Don't you hate walking all over the fairway looking for your ball? The only thing worse is the embarassment of turning the cart around and driving back toward the tee box because your ball is nowhere to be found. Thanks to the golf gods, there's a solution. Just put these golf ball finder glasses on and you can spot your ball a "mile" away. I'm not sure exactly how they work, but they do!

Sometimes, I want to feel like I'm a better golfer than I am That's where these Nitro golf balls come in. They don't conform to USGA spces, but when you blast one off the tee and your buddies' jaws drop in amazement, who cares? Cool stuff indeed.

Summer Solstice

Happy First Day of Summer!

Summer is finally here! And here are just a few of my favorite ways to enjoy Summer in the Heartland!

I love sitting in the backyard reading a book in the shade. Unfortunately we do not have a lot of trees on our lot yet, so I got one of the hanging umbrellas from Heartland it works great. When the sun goes down, I can still enjoy my yard bug free because of the mosquito trap. It does a great job of keeping the alternate state bird... mosquito away from me and my family! We've also been stocking up on solar lights to accent our home! At Heartland's price, it's a deal you cannot pass on.

Wishing you a Happy Summer Solstice!
