Airthings Wave Plus indoor air quality smart monitor with Radon detection

Do you know the best time to open your window in a particular room to air things out? What about when to close the window and keep harmful air quality outside rather than entering your home? Airthings has a customizable and easy dashboard to help you monitor your indoor air quality.

With Airthings indoor air quality monitors you can put more than 1 in different rooms and view them all on one screen in your Airthings dashboard on your computer or device. Below, the user has 2 Airthings monitors in different locations – the lab and meeting room. On one page he can view both rooms.

What is Radon?

Who needs an Airthings Wave Plus?

Airthings is branded for families, employers and building managers. The air indoors can be up to 10 times more harmful than the air outside! It is hard to stay on top of your indoor air quality without a proper monitor and the Wave Plus has been fantastic as I use it to monitor the large game room upstairs on the far end of our home.

Our game room is always the hottest and stuffiest room and our home is less than a year old! Even new homes can have a room that just doesn’t fair well with air quality. It can be due to the location on the room. It can be due to the furnace and A/C routing and set up. The Airthings Wave Plus is for everyone!

My indoor air quality results with Airthings Wave Plus


When you first connect your Airthings monitor which is so flawless and takes seconds, you get some information that states it is scanning for a full 7 days to get the accurate results. This means you want to give the monitor 7 days in its new location before you are certain the readings are accurate for that space.

Above it states my TVOC (Total volatile organic compounds) is in the orange but the website says it has a settling time of 7 days and this is day 5, so I am not concerned yet. Also the humidity is going from normal to orange but again the monitor has been in that room only 5 days, but I would not be surprised if I always get temp and humidity alerts once all settles down.

With my Airthings Wave Plus, I get full visibility into 6 sensors including the 3 most serious indoor air pollutants, as well as detailed views of temperature, air pressure, humidity and additional sensors for advanced analytics options.

Notice above on my app screenshot that there is a grey arrow on the side to indicate I can swipe to a different page and that goes to the Radon sensor so you can get the Radon stats by day, week, month or year. Then you can share all stats. This is a great peace of mind to send to tenants or employees who work or live in your space you are monitoring.

Visit Airthings to find the right monitor for your space or home and while there you can visit their blog for helpful articles.

Front Porch Classics Tabletop Shuffleboard

A few months ago we went to a relatives birthday party at a local gathering spot that was an old school turned hotel and restaurant row. In the main pub we ate at there were table games of darts and shuffleboard. It was where everyone gathered. First the kids gravitated to it as it was in the family dining area and then everyone was taking turns with rounds of Shuffleboard.

At home here we keep our shuffleboard as the “centerpiece” of the game room coffee table and it always gets played with. Neighbor kids gravitate to it all the time. How fun to see 10 year olds taking on a game of shuffleboard with heir video game remotes tossed aside?!

Anthony wanted to share a video with you that we titled, How to Score a Game of Shuffleboard. This will let you see a full round and how to score that round.

With this shuffleboard, Front Porch Classics brings pub-style shuffleboard home with this realistic, high quality, wooden table top version. It is a 2-piece board that fits well together and has adjustable legs to get the board nice and even on your surface for an even game.

This game ends when the first person reaches 15 points to be the champion. If you are a skilled shuffleboard player a full game can end in as little as 2-3 rounds, but the average I would imagine is about 5-6 rounds. A round is each of the 2 players sliding their 4 colored pucks as far down as possible without falling into the gutter of the board.

You can get your own Front Porch Classics Shuffleboard at Amazon!

NEW Sink Safe Knife Caddy – Review

I have partnered with Sink Safe for this feature

NEW Sink Safe Knife Caddy - Review

Let me share a not-so-funny, funny story! This past Christmas I was gifted a high quality knife set by my parents. When I got home Christmas evening and after unloading gifts from the car I began to open my knives so I can wash them. I have always bought cheap sets and never had razor sharp knives. When you remove a sharp knife from its packaging sleeve, it sort of narrows as you slide it off and then your fingers are suddenly under that sleeve and I sliced my pointer finger. Nothing major, but I had to stop the bleeding and grab a band-aid.

I then switched hands and not being a very great left-hander I did it again. I have 2 fingers that I soon realized I needed my butterfly band-aids for to get the minor cuts to close and stop bleeding. I decided perhaps it was a long day and I am tired and my husband is trying not to shoot puns and jokes and I grab the last chefs knife to move them back on the counter so I can wash them in the morning and….my ring finger caught the blade corner. Yes! 3 fingers were bandaged by the end of my clumsy knife moment! Enter Sink Safe….

Whether you are dealing with old or new knives or perhaps you are just clumsy like me, the Sink Safe knife caddy is your kitchen sink (and fingers) saver! Our home is brand new as of last August and this sink of our is already full of scratches from throwing knives and pans into the sink. The Sink Saver can help keep the knives tucked safely inside the injection-molded Santoprene sleeve.

The sleeve gives you an anti-slip surface with contoured top grip so you can store in or out of the sink tub and carry to the dishwasher or knife block safely. You can feel the quality and durability!

See how the knives are tucked safely inside? You don’t have to worry when sticking your hands blindly into the sudsy water, especially if the kids have dish duty. It has drain holes so you can even rince knives and utensils off through the sleeve before washing if you use the dishwasher.

Gurunanda Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser For Car

I have partnered with Gurunanda for the feature. Samples were sent and opinions are my own

Gurunanda Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser For Car

How much do you love your essential oils? If you are like me you love using oils. Everyone has their preferred way to use oils. Many rely on them for healing, some may use them to make household cleaners and beauty products and my preferred usage is to fill my home with pleasant aromas (I’m a Mom of boys, so….)

Gurunanda has many essential oils and diffusers and now they have some portable diffusers so you’re oils can leave you pleasant aroma wherever you go. The Gurunanda Ultrasonic Essential OIl Diffuser for the Car is more than just a unit that can fit in your car’s cup holder. It comes with a USB cord as well as a plug for the cigarette lighter unit of your car.

I see this essential oil diffuser as useful in a hotel room, in the RV and even at your personal work space. I have USB ports on my laptop so when traveling or at my home office I can plug in right near me and burn some lavender or peppermint if I have a headache or stomach aches. It has the ultrasonic mist so it is great for healing.

More Features include:

  • Water Capacity: 55 ml
  • No wick required
  • Overheating protection.
  • Auto shut off when water is low
  • Compatible with most laptops or USB wall/car outlets, cable included
  • ETL certified

Modes of Operation

    • Continuous mode – Mist lasts up to 4 hours.
    • Intermittent mode – Mist lasts up to 8 hours.

While visiting Gurunanda to learn more, see their new Essential Oils Roll Ons! I actually own a few roll ons and the Gurunanda Jasmine Kiss is by far my favorite scent. Every time my eye catches the bottle even if I’m just at home with no plans, I stop to open it and swipe my wrists or neck to just have the scent near me.
