Being a landlord can be a risky venture. I found this out myself a few years ago when I rented a room to a former friend. This is what a man named Songhua also discovered when he became a first time landlord. Most landlords check a credit report, but that doesn't give the whole picture, and bank statements proving you have enough income for rent can be faked. Songhua knew there had to be a better way to check out prospective tenants and protect himself as a landlord. Thus Tenantify was born. Tenantify is a third-party website that verifies employment and uses a secured bank account API to deliver the landlord a authenticated bank statement that is void of any sensitive personal information. This allows the landlord to be sure they are not being lied to by potential tenants, and alliviates some of the risk of renting. Tenantify is easy to use, and is free for landlords, with a small cost for renters. Tenantify's goal is to reduce friction in the housing market a

Plus Sized Jewels Bracelet

 Plus Sized Jewels makes high quality jewelry containing nickle and lead complaint alloys that resist corrosion and wear, and look like real silver. The glass beads are cute and sparkle like crystals, and come in rich beautiful colors. The bracelets are custom made to be one inch bigger than most stretch bracelets, so they will fit any wrist comfortably. They make wonderful gifts. The bracelet I received has beautiful, heavy beads that really sparkle. The green color is gorgeous, and the silver beads have etching. The bracelet has nice stretch to it, and it doesn't feel like the bracelet will snap if snagged or tugged a little. It's strong enough to handle normal wear and tear which is great for someone with kids like me. It's nice that these are “plus sized” and larger than normal stretch bracelets, so I know it will fit and not be to tight. Plus it's backed by a 90 days manufacturer's money-back guarantee. You can order your own in any of the beautiful

 Recently I was part of helping a friend plan a surprise wedding. It was an amazing experience, and brought back memories of my own wedding.

Discover with Dr. Cool Insect Excavation Kit

 My 9 year old son loves bugs. He also loves to learn. That's why I love Discover with Dr. Cool activity kits. We tried out the Real Insect Excavation Kit. The kit comes with a beetle-shaped digging block, which houses 3 bugs, a scorpion, a spiny spider and a fortune beetle, preserved in acrylic. The kit includes an excavation took, brush, and magnifying glass. There is also a full-color information guide that teaches you all about insects, arthropods and arachnids. It's full of cool science facts about each of the bugs in the kit as well as more general bug facts that your kid(s) will love. It also comes with a fun activity booklet with 10 games, mazes and puzzles. It also won the Brain Toy Hold Award- Academic's Choice for 2013. My son and I had so much fun with this kit. Excavating the beetle was so much fun. The tools were easy to use, and the magnifying glass made examining the excavated bugs fun. The only downside from my perspective is that all the bugs were
