Capresso SG300 Coffee Maker

When it comes to coffee makers there is only one brand MamatheFox has looked at countless coffee maker reviews so it’s fair to say we know what’s good and what’s not! More often than not, Capresso is our favorite brand. We have been brewing coffee from their machines for years now and have only nothing but wonderful experiences. The machines are extremely high quality and very easy to use. For the SG300 MamatheFox was able to set up the clock and the auto timer without looking at the manual! This new model has a few bells and whistles that very much appeal to me. First off is the compact design. It easily fits on my counter without taking up too much precious counter real estate. It comes with a GoldTone reusable filter, so I no longer need to worry about buying filters and the waste they create. It comes with a charcoal water filter removes up to 82% of chlorine and other impurities from tap water. Then the 2-hour keep warm with auto safety shut-off is great as I often forget to turn off my machine when running out the door to get the kids to school on time. I never worry “did I leave the coffee machine on?” any more. MamatheFox drinks coffee daily, but her husband only drinks it on the weekends, so with this machine we are obsessed with the special setting it has to maximize flavor when brewing 1 to 4 cups. If you have a coffee lover on you holiday list then do then a solid and get them the new SG300.

Their honey comes from the nectar of the Manuka flower in the pristine forests of New Zealand. Comvita is certified UMF™ – Which is the gold standard. Every batch of Comvita Manuka Honey is independently tested by the UMF™ Honey Association. Only UMF™ measures the three signature compounds (Leptosperin, MGO and DHA) found in genuine Manuka Honey. Brands labeled as “Active”, “Bio-Active”, “5+” (without UMF™), or “KFactor” don’t comply to the same level of quality standards.

Renzo’s Vitamins for Kids – Click here to purchase

Do you know a kid who is a picky eater? Practically all kids refuse some type of nutrition from their diets. Some may hate broccoli, others may loath berries and apples.

We take a multivitamin at dinner each night. We have switched over to Renzo’s Kids Vitamins for several reasons. They are vegan, contain zero sugar and are gummy free. Many kids have a hard time chewing a gummy vitamin, or are too young to swallow a pill – this is where Renzo’s steps in for you. Their tablets are chewable and dissolve in your mouth, making it easy to take. Kid flavors like Oh-Oh-Oh Orange, Cherry Chery Mo’ Cherry. and Lil’ Green Apple make it fun and enjoyable for the kids taking them. We love the daily multi “Picky Eater Multi” and try to add in a “Bright & Brainy B6” or “Iron Strong” a few times per week too.

A Guide to Water Leak detection in our Homes

  • Water leaks in your home – how to find them

Leaks in your home can cause damage if they are not attended to. They can lead to damp and the presence of mold. Wooden structures can also begin to rot if they are in the presence of water for long periods of time. The presence of damp or reduced water pressure are signs that there could be a leak somewhere. If you suspect that this may be the case, the source of the leak needs to be found as soon as possible.

If you think that water is leaking in your home, you can call professionals such as Plumbing Detectives to locate the leak and fix it. The alternative is to try and locate the leak yourself in the first instance or use Drain Clogs And Camera Pipeline Inspections: What, Why, And When? are the questions you must ask.

  • Obvious causes of leaks in the home

If the general location of a leak is obvious then the source is often easier to find. For instance, if you spot a water mark on the ceiling under the bathroom, the most likely location of the leak is the toilet or shower. Something as simple as repairing the sealant around the shower or dealing with a problem in the toilet tank could resolve the issue.

  • Finding a leak that is not obvious

There may be times when you think there is a leak but the source is not obvious. If this is the case you should check the pipes in your home, including those that are hidden from view. You may be able to spot water seeping from them. If not, you should feel the pipes to see if they are damp. If you do find a spot where a pipe is leaking, you may be able to fix it yourself. On many occasions, all that is needed is for the joint to be tightened or sealed. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, contact Milwaukee Plumbing Services (or someone local to your area.) Do not forget to turn the water off at the mains, or the relevant shut-off point, before you begin any repair work. It’s also a good idea to turn on the taps so that any residual water which is left in the pipe is expelled. If you do not do this, you could end up with a very messy and wet home.

There are some occasions when it’s best to call a plumber from firms similar to Make It Drain Plumbing & Rooter (for more info, check https://makeitdrainplumbing.com/) to deal with water leaks. The most notable of these occasions is when the problem is a burst rather than a leak. If this is the case, you should turn the water off at the mains and call an emergency plumber. You should also call a plumber if the damage causing a leak appears to be serious, or the area is hard to access. If pipe work needs to be replaced, a plumber knows exactly what to do and what type of piping to use. If the leak is in a tight space, you will find it difficult to deal with it yourself. Your local plumbers are used to this type of work.

Remember that the aim is to prevent damage from being caused and resolve the problem as soon as possible. If you are confident of locating the leak, and solving the problem yourself, that is fine. However, you should always leave more complex tasks to the professionals, or you may end up making the situation worse.
