      <description><![CDATA[If you are a procrastinator, you're not alone. Studies suggest more than 70% of Americans say they habitually procrastinate on daily tasks, especially this time of year between spring cleaning, daily work assignments, and tax time. That's why tax prep company Jackson Hewitt has declared Thursday, April 2 National Get it Done Day. They say it's about turning procrastination - or what they like to call 'protaxination'- into progress. With more than half of Americans (51%) admitting they spend more time worrying about tasks than actually doing them, April 2's Get it Done Day offers a simple solution: pick one thing, get some help, finish it, and feel the difference, no matter what it is. If it is taxes, they want to help by making it even easier to get them done and get you the biggest refund you deserve. Great news for the 62% that state having tax help would push them to act sooner. To find the nearest Jackson Hewitt office and book an appointment, check out jacksonhewitt.com .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Looking to make some home upgrades this year? Each year in collaboration with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), The New American Home showcases the latest and greatest in innovations and smart improvements, and this year it comes with a side of philanthropy. At The New American Home 2026, SKS and LG are not just showcasing the future of high-tech and luxury living. They are empowering a home with heart. This year's show home is a groundbreaking philanthropic platform, designed to directly support Jonathan's Landing Foundation and its vital mission to create a comprehensive community for adults with autism. Jonathan's Landing founder, Jason Eichenholz told us, 'I fell in love with this property, but I realized that I could do more than just building a home. I could build a gathering place. I can find a way for the community to come together and to support a cause that was very important to me, which is autism, and providing housing and employment for adults with autism. We're going to provide the maximum service for each individual for the least cost to the families.' In the kitchen for example, SKS appliances offer unparalleled precision and luxury, perfect for everyday cooking and grand-scale entertaining. For Jason and his son Jonathan, cooking has provided an avenue for communication, creativity, and lifelong memories. So, what makes this kitchen so unique? It has a 48-inch Dual-Fuel Pro Range with six burners and a griddle, a 24-inch Integrated Column Wine Refrigerator, 30-inch Integrated Column Freezer - panel-ready, and don't forget the 24" built-in undercounter fridge with drawers that can be turned into freezers. There's also a back kitchen for the ultimate entertainer with a 48-inch Dual-Fuel Pro Range with built-in sous vide, and a combo wall oven with speed cook and steam. Within The New American Home, ThinQ technology acts as the intelligent core, seamlessly integrating everything from SKS's professional-grade culinary suites to LG's advanced HVAC systems, smart laundry, and OLED TVs. This creates an effortlessly intelligent, energy-efficient, and truly connected living experience that redefines comfort and convenience. To continue to inspire others to connect through cooking and raise awareness for Jonathan's Landing, SKS has launched #passtheapron . People are encouraged to film their own apron pass moment and tag others they want to nominate to support the cause.

      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/kbis-2026-best-show-kitchen-and-bath</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[LifeMinute headed to North America's largest kitchen and bath show, KBIS in Orlando, Florida, to check out the latest innovations, trends, and technologies shaping 2026's kitchens and bathrooms. One of the biggest shifts? Bathrooms are evolving into true wellness spaces. Design trends are emphasizing calming environments, nature-inspired aesthetics, and products that are both beautiful and low-maintenance -- exactly what Toto is showcasing this year. Leading the way is the Aurora Washlet+ S7A, a sculptural one-piece bidet toilet inspired by natural forms. All water and electrical connections are cleverly concealed, giving it a sleek, seamless look. But the innovation isn't just cosmetic: Toto's new gravity-driven flush system features a dual-valve, nested tank design that extends bowl and rim cleaning coverage up to five times longer than standard gravity systems -- all while remaining extremely water-efficient. Toto also introduced new models for different homeowner needs. The Redington One-Piece also has very clean architectural lines with a fully skirted profile for easier cleaning. The Glaston Two-Piece is an updated classic made for extra comfort and performance. For design-focused spaces, their luxury NeoRest LS and WX1 Smart Bidet Toilets now come in sophisticated matte black and white finishes. In the kitchen, induction cooking is rapidly gaining ground. By 2028, induction appliances are projected to account for nearly two-thirds of cooking appliance sales -- a trend luxury brand SKS has been leading for years. Their new 36-inch Induction Pro Range is a powerhouse, featuring a 7000-watt cooktop and a full-sized steam-combination oven. Home chefs can now master steam convection, steam sous vide, air fry, and advanced convection modes -- professional-level cooking techniques and consistent results, all in the comfort of home. This range was a KBIS Best of Show finalist. Another standout is the LG Signature Refrigerator, engineered to 'disappear.' With zero-clearance™ hinges, 45% thinner insulated doors, and true flush alignment, it gives the look of a built-in without the need for renovation. The innovative drawers convert from freezer to fridge, offering total customization -- perfect for entertaining and creating craft ice like a pro. KBIS 2026 is clearly showing that the future of kitchens and bathrooms is about blending technology, design, and wellness -- all while making life easier and more luxurious.]]></description>

      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/feline-heart-health-what-every-cat-owner-needs-know-about-early-detection</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[February is Heart Health Month, and staying heart-healthy isn't just important for people, it matters for our pets, too. Here's what cat owners need to know about feline heart health and how early detection can make a life-changing difference. Just like people, cats can develop heart disease without showing obvious signs. In fact, cats are very good at hiding illness, or they may only show vague changes that are easy to miss. On top of that, cats tend to visit the veterinarian less often than dogs for routine checkups. That's why awareness is so important, because with early detection and new management options, we can help keep cats' hearts strong for years to come. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is the most common form of heart disease in cats. It happens when the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. About one in seven cats is affected. The challenge is that HCM is often silent and progressive, and many cats show no outward signs until the disease is advanced. If left undetected, it can lead to heart failure, blood clots, or abnormal heart rhythms. Unlike dogs, cats rarely cough or show obvious signs of heart trouble. Some cats may breathe faster at rest, become less active, or hide more--but many appear completely normal. They eat, play, and act just like always. That's why routine veterinary checkups are so critical. Listening for a heart murmur, monitoring lab work, and screening for high blood pressure are often the best ways to catch heart disease early. Any cat can develop HCM, but certain breeds, like Maine Coons and ragdolls, are genetically predisposed. That said, any mixed-breed or purebreed cat can be affected, which is why regular screenings are important for all cats, not just those considered high-risk. So, what can cat owners do to help protect their cat's heart? The most important step is scheduling a yearly veterinary exam. Your veterinarian will listen to your cat's heart and may recommend additional testing, such as an echocardiogram, X-ray, blood pressure check, or blood test, if they detect a murmur or other risk factor. The good news is that there's now a new treatment option called Felycin-CA1 (sirolimus delayed-release tablets), which can help manage HCM before symptoms appear and may make a meaningful difference in your cat's heart health. To learn more visit heartstrongfamilies.com to learn more about feline heart health, and talk with your veterinarian about screening your cat. You can also help spread awareness by sharing information on social media using the hashtag #heartstrong.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[The Best of CES 2026]]></title>
      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/best-ces-2026</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[It's one of the biggest industry events of the new year, CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, where more than 4,500 exhibitors are showcasing their latest and greatest innovations. LifeMinute editor-in-chief, Joann Butler shares what everyone is buzzing about this year. When it comes to the kitchen, the design world is just buzzing about LG's new Standard-Depth MAX 4-Door French Door refrigerator. It makes mini craft ice with dual ice makers for cubed or crushed ice from both the door and the freezer, which has tons of room. The inside is 29 cubic feet with wide open shelves -which is perfect for storing large platters or baking sheets. There's also a drawer that has five temperature settings so you can easily shift between refrigerator and freezer, making it super simple to store everything from wine and cheeses to frozen foods. It also maintains consistent temperatures to keep food fresh and tasting its best. It has adjustable LED back wall lighting and it's kid proof, with pocket handles and soft-close hinges to prevent slamming little hands, plus it resists fingerprints and smudges. And it's extra smart with ThinQ connectivity for remote monitoring, voice assistant compatibility, and wins kudos for energy efficiency. Moving on to the living space, the LG 100-inch Micro RGB 4k TV is a total showstopper. It uses the smallest individual RGB LEDs ever to deliver higher precision in brightness, contrast, and color purity, so images appear more lifelike. Everything you watch looks more real, more dimensional, and incredibly uniform from edge to edge on this huge 100-inch screen. You also get RGB primary color ultra, which unlocks a full, expanded spectrum of primary colors with exceptional depth and gradation. This is especially noticeable in HDR content and complex color scenes: think sunsets, cityscapes, or cinematic shadow detail, everything just pops. Even at this massive size, the TV is ultra-slim and designed to sit flush against the wall, so it feels less like a TV and more like a piece of modern architecture. It blends beautifully into contemporary spaces while still making a very bold statement, and of course, it has smart features. With LG's award-winning webOS platform, you get personalized home screens, voice ID that recognizes who's watching, AI picture, and Sound Wizard that tunes everything to your personal preferences, so it's not just a stunning visual centerpiece, it's also an intuitive, easy-to-use smart home entertainment hub. When it comes to travel, one of the coolest things Joann saw at CES was how tech company Oshkosh is reimagining how airports run. They showcased a fleet of super smart robots that assist ground crews right on the tarmac on all kinds of tasks-- such as guiding a plane from landing to take off, and numerous other things that are needed all day long, under all kinds of weather conditions. They are all AI driven with autonomous mobility. The idea is to boost safety and efficiency, making it a great example of how technology can help airports move travelers faster while maintaining the highest safety standards.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Turkey Day is just around the corner, and LifeMinute's Editor-in-Chief Joann Butler is here with everything we need to make the holiday easier and more enjoyable whether you're hosting or just bringing a dish. Her biggest tip is to always be prepared--but even with the best planning, things happen. Maybe you're halfway through making dessert and realize you're out of butter, forgot to buy napkins, or you accidentally burned the pie you promised to bring. Well, Joann says same-day delivery service Shipt has saved the day for her more times than she can count. Shipt makes those last-minute holiday runs incredibly easy, especially this week as Thanksgiving shopping hits its peak. It's a one-stop-shop app partnering with more than 100 retailers you already know and love including your favorite local grocery stores such as Target, Michaels, and many more.

All are available with Shipt's same-day delivery November 24th through the 26th. Some other holiday prep tips are to set up as much as you can the night before. Set the table, prep the coffee maker, and don't be afraid to go disposable with plates and utensils. Shipt actually sees a big spike in orders for those items the day before Thanksgiving. Of course, everyone knows one of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers, so stock up on disposable containers.

      <description><![CDATA[The holiday season is officially here, and LifeMinute's Editor-in-Chief Joann Butler is sharing two must-have gifts you'll want in your life right now. This year's trend? Practical, thoughtful, budget-friendly presents that truly show you care. First up: Hello Bello, the premium-yet-affordable, better-for-baby diaper brand known for rotating adorable seasonal designs. They've just launched their new holiday collection featuring Baby Grinch characters--an irresistibly cute way to celebrate baby's first Christmas.

As for the diapers they are made with high-quality, thoughtfully chosen ingredients. They're safe for sensitive skin, luxuriously soft and gentle, and feature a secure fit with up to 12-hour leak protection, and a wetness indicator. Plus, each diaper box includes a full-size wipe pack and coupons. You can find Hello Bello products easily at Walmart--both in store and online--as well as at HelloBello.com . They're limited-edition, so grab them before they're gone for under $20. Next, a thoughtful stocking stuffer--or even a gift-topper--for anyone whose feet take a beating during the busy holiday season: Dr. Scholl's Advanced Pain Relief Insoles. These are the brand's most advanced heavy-duty arch-support insoles, designed with triple-layer cushioning to ease foot pressure, absorb shock, wick away moisture, and reduce fatigue. They deliver all-day, all-in-one pain relief and target 10 key lower-body pain points, including back, knees, hips, and plantar fasciitis.

      <description><![CDATA[The best gifts are the ones that continue bringing comfort and joy long after the holidays have ended. And if there's one item that's earned its place on the life-changing essentials list, it's the bidet toilet seat. You've probably heard the buzz by now. Bidets have gone from a luxury reserved for high-end hotels and spas to a modern wellness staple for everyday homes. Leading that transformation is TOTO--the pioneering luxury bath company that turned the high-tech bidet seat into a household must-have with its iconic WASHLET. TOTO introduced the first luxury WASHLET more than 45 years ago, and they have been perfecting it ever since. Today, more than 60 million TOTO WASHLETS have been sold around the world -- that's how popular they are. A WASHLET doesn't just elevate your morning routine; it transforms it. It changes how you start and end your day, adding a sense of luxury, comfort, and next-level wellness that genuinely improves daily life. It redefines what it means to feel truly clean, comfortable, and confident--every single day. For families or first-time users, the WASHLET S2 is an ideal entry point. It's simple to install yet delivers the signature TOTO experience. Next, the WASHLET S5 stands out. Recently named The New York Times Wirecutter's Best Bidet Seat of 2025, it blends top-tier performance with a refined, modern aesthetic that fits seamlessly into beautifully curated bathrooms. And for the primo design lover, there's TOTO's newest innovation: the Nexus WASHLET+ KS6. This one-piece bidet toilet is the ultimate statement gift. It's completely concealed cord and hose give it a clean, architectural presence, elevating both form and function to a new level. These models all feature advanced self-cleaning technology, including a wand that automatically rinses itself with electrolyzed water or EWATER+ after each use. Both the wand and the seat have an advanced, non-stick resin surface that resists staining and buildup. An automatic deodorizer maintains a clean-smelling space, while a night light illuminates the bathroom for late-night visits. They even help conserve energy and reduce reliance on cleaning supplies and toilet paper, making them as practical as they are luxurious. Comfort, of course, is central to every WASHLET. Each model provides instant warm, aerated water and a heated seat that feels indulgent. Users can personalize their experience by adjusting the spray pressure and position in five different ways, and households can take advantage of four memory presets so everyone can save their preferred settings.

      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[Keeping pets happy and healthy is every pet parent's top priority, and protecting them from fleas and ticks plays a big role in their overall wellbeing. As we head into the fall and winter months, what should pet owners be aware of in terms of fleas and ticks? Well, it's a common misconception that flea and tick activity slows down in the cooler months. In reality, these parasites are resilient, able to survive indoors and even withstand 30-degree temperatures. That means the risk of Lyme disease, tapeworms and other flea and tick-borne health concerns persist year-round for both your pet and your family - especially when enjoying fall activities like hiking, checking out the foliage and more. When it comes to protecting against fleas and ticks there are several options out there; however, they all require pet owners to remember to give treatment on a consistent basis and according to a recent global survey commissioned by Merck Animal Health, 46% of dog owners struggle to remember when to give treatment. Moreover, 56% of pet owners find administering flea and tick medication challenging. A new option, BRAVECTO(R) QUANTUM is the first and only parasiticide that protects dogs against fleas and ticks for an entire year in just one dose.* It's administered by a vet once yearly, meaning pet owners can get the injectable for their dog when they bring them in for their yearly checkup, and then they're protected from fleas and ticks for a full 12 months.* This is a game changer for veterinarians as this provides built-in compliance - they no longer have to worry about pet parents missing doses. Plus it provides pet owners with convenience and peace of mind knowing their dog is protected year-round.* To learn more talk to your veterinarian and for more into about the product, visit us.bravecto.com . *BRAVECTO(R) QUANTUM kills adult fleas, prevents flea infestations and treats and controls ticks (black-legged, American dog tick and brown dog tick) for 12 months. BRAVECTO(R) QUANTUM also kills lone star ticks for 8 months.]]></description>

To make the celebration even more iconic, they partnered with '90s legend Sarah Michelle Gellar, who curated a collection of 30 'Greatest Hits' pieces popular in the '90s that continue to trend on eBay today. Some highlights include the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, which became famous as James Bond's watch in the '90s and remains the top-searched watch on eBay in 2025; a 1994-95 Michael Jordan autographed Bulls 45 jersey, with MJ still ranking as the most-searched athlete on eBay this year; and a 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, representing one of the platform's most searched-for automotive brands. And of course, Gellar also brought in her own history, with signed Buffy the Vampire Slayer treasures - especially timely with the reboot currently in production. LifeMinute was there to hear all about it from Garry Thaniel, eBay's General Manager of U.S. Fashion, who walked us through this exclusive pop-up blending celebrity style, nostalgia-driven finds, and eBay's 30-year history of fueling e-commerce. You can visit the '95 Shop at 45 Grand St and if you're not in New York the action continues online at ebay.com , where you can bid on all 30 'Greatest Hits,' each starting at just 95 cents.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Back-to-school season is here, and lifestyle editor Joann Butler is sharing must-haves and must-knows to start the year right. Everyone's most beloved ubiquitous back-to-school staple is the iconic BIC pen . The right pen makes everything better--especially schoolwork so we love the classic BIC 4-Color Pen which lets you easily switch between black, blue, red, and green ink, great for color-coding, highlighting and organizing. It also comes in shiny and pastel with matching inks. My fave is the BIC Gel-ocity Quick Dry pens which writes super smooth and have quick dry ink. They glide like a dream, dry in a flash and come in a rainbow of colors. Honestly, they're giving gel manicure vibes--smooth, colorful, and totally satisfying. They make great mechanical pencils too that won't break. You can find them everywhere online and in-store. Now that your school supplies are on point, let's talk wellness. Of course, fitness is super important, and Planet Fitness is known for their affordable, high-value fitness experience. They're doing something really cool for their members by letting them save money not only on fitness, but on really great brands during back-to-school season. The call it PerksFest, a limited-time event running through August 29th, giving members access to exclusive deals from some seriously amazing brands such as Hello Fresh and Factor which are great meal delivery services. Some other brands include Headspace which is perfect for helping you (and your kids) find a little calm with meditation and better sleep. Then there is stylish, durable fitness gear to power your workouts from No Bull. Planet Fitness members get year-round perks through the PF App--which has already saved members over $6 million this year alone. With 2,700+ locations, it's easy to join and even easier to stay on track. Head to planetfitness.com to sign up. Okay, we've got the supplies. We've got the self-care. Now let's talk logistics. Here are a few tried-and-true ways to make school mornings easy. Start adjusting sleep now by shifting bedtime earlier by 15 minutes each night until you're back on schedule. Lay out outfits the night before or go full pro-level like my son, who showers before bed and literally sleeps in his school outfit so he's ready to go in the AM. Mornings are chaotic enough so pack lunch the night before, so you have one less thing to stress over. Label everything from notebooks, water bottles, folders--if it goes to school, put a name on it. When you're physically organized, your mentally organized as well and that helps you stay positive and focused.]]></description>

      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/protect-your-pets-year-round-real-risk-leptospirosis</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[As summer winds down and we gear up for fall, it's the perfect time for trail hikes, puddle splashing, and neighborhood strolls with our four-legged friends. But did you know that these outdoor activities can expose your dog to serious health risks? Here with the scoop on how to protect your dog through all seasons is Veterinarian and Merck Animal Health Partner, Dr. Natalie Marks. Dr. Marks says one of her main concerns that many dog owners don't know about is Leptospirosis - or 'Lepto'- which is an infectious bacteria that can cause serious illness in dogs, other animals, and even people since it can be transmitted between animals and humans. It's spread through contact with the urine of infected animals - including rodents, livestock, and pets - or contaminated environments like water or soil. Many dog owners are surprised to learn that the spread of Lepto can happen even during a simple walk around the block. And while some dogs may not show signs of Lepto, others could develop mild or severe illness - including vomiting, lethargy, or even chronic kidney failure. The best way to protect your dog is through annual vaccination. She recommends talking to your vet about NOBIVAC(R) Lepto4 and NOBIVAC EDGE(R) Lepto4. They're the first and only vaccines demonstrated to be 100% effective against mortality and urinary shedding from all four leptospirosis serovars - a key transmission risk for dogs exposed to infected animal urine. That means these vaccines not only protect your dog from getting ill, but you also reduce the chance of you or your family being exposed to Leptospirosis. Because Lepto is found across the U.S. and not just in wet climates, the American Animal Hospital Association now classifies it as a core vaccine for all dogs, regardless of where they live. When it comes to core vaccines for dogs, Dr. Marks highly recommends the NOBIVAC(R) line of vaccines. This includes their DAPPv, which protects against distemper, hepatitis, and parvovirus - three of the four core diseases. There's also NOBIVAC(R) EDGE™ DAPPv, which is a lower-volume option in the same family, designed for more comfortable administration, especially in small dogs. These vaccines also protect against parainfluenza, which is also very contagious. The two other NOBIVAC(R) vaccines she recommends are the 3-year rabies vaccine, covering the fourth core disease - rabies - and she always suggests vaccinating for leptospirosis. Both are essential for protecting both pets and people. As we soak up the last weeks of summer, here are some other seasonal concerns we should be aware of. Heat in general is a big concern, especially hot pavement and sidewalks, as well as excessive periods of exercise at dog parks. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. Stick to grassy areas and opt for morning or evening walks when it's cooler, if possible. Make sure to keep your pet hydrated and never leave them in a parked car, even for a few minutes. The temperature inside can skyrocket in seconds, and it can quickly become life-threatening. Lastly, don't forget about parasites! Fleas and ticks are out in full force during this time of year. Make sure your dog is up to date on their flea and tick treatment, like BRAVECTO. Make sure to talk to your veterinarian about NOBIVAC(R) Lepto4, NOBIVAC EDGE(R) Lepto4, and the importance of yearly vaccination.

      <description><![CDATA[From homework to video chats--and everything in between--having the right tech setup at home can make all the difference. Whether you're helping kids stay on track with schoolwork, or simplifying tech for aging parents, now's the perfect time for a digital refresh. Let's talk smart updates, smoother connections, and tools that help everyone feel a little more secure, confident, and in control day to day. Power Up Productivity: HP OmniBook 5 with Snapdragon First up, this powerhouse packs incredible AI performance into a backpack-friendly frame. It works for up to 34 hours unplugged and has an integrated HP AI Companion that summarizes notes, drafts essay outlines, and a ton more--no extra apps are needed. It has a super-fast charging speed that sprints up to 50% battery in about 30 minutes. It's eco-friendly, made with recycled aluminum, and has an EPEAT Gold certification -- recognized for outstanding sustainability. Family-Ready Printing: HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer This is great for busy families and comes with up to two years' worth of ink. It's great for nonstop vibrant color printing. Set up is super easy with the HP Smart app. Plus, to beat the summer slide ahead of back-to-school, they have these new bite sized lessons. They're science-backed, kid-friendly printable placemats that are perfect for sitting around the dinner table and getting creative. Safety First: Stay Cyber-Smart with Norton Next, now more than ever, an absolute must--you need to have a cyber safety plan. While technology is amazing, it can also leave you susceptible for new risks that you may not even see coming. According to cyber safety brand Norton -- one in four children in the U.S. have experienced cyberbullying--and it's not just happening on social media. It's showing up in text messages, group chats, and even classroom apps. Even more eye-opening, 36% of kids say they've found ways around screen time limits, and nearly one in five parents have caught their child sharing private information with strangers online, so we've partnered with Norton to help make it easier for parents to stay involved and for kids to stay safe. They have so many amazing tools -- Norton Family manages screen time and Norton Genie verifies suspicious messages. And you know, a lot of us are also helping older loved ones navigate life online too. According to Avast's 2025 Safe Tech Report, 84% are warning aging parents about scams, but many aren't listening or don't fully understand the risks. So, back-to-school season is a great time to do a tech check-in with your entire family and get some peace of mind online. Check out norton.com and avast.com for more info. Digital Safety = Digital Confidence Other things you should be doing to stay safe online? Always update devices and apps, use strong, unique passwords for every account, turn on two-factor authentication, and remind kids and older adults not to share their full name, address, or school online, especially with people they don't know. Ultimately, it's all about building healthy digital habits by explaining and framing the situation. It's not that you don't trust them, it's about safety, like wearing a seat belt. Make safety feel empowering, not controlling.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Tips for Parents of Picky Eaters]]></title>
      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/tips-parents-picky-eaters</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[With the school year starting and meals often happening away from home, nutrition matters more than ever. Director of Medical Affairs Nutritional Science at Bayer, Dr. Nastaran Faghihnia, shares new survey insights and a simple solution to help fill key nutrient gaps. The survey really highlights the mealtime struggles that many families face. Nearly 60% of parents say their child is a picky eater, and almost two out of three report that their kids refuse to eat veggies at least once a week. While kids often refuse food because of how it tastes, the survey found that smell, texture, and color also play an important role. Over half of parents say that their kid is texture-sensitive and one-third said that their kids won't eat certain color foods. This means that getting your kids key nutrients they may need can be a challenge--for example, a nutrient like iron. Iron is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in children in the U.S., and making sure kids get enough is important to their development. Dr. Faghihnia always encourages parents and kids to eat a balanced diet to get their key nutrients. To help fill nutrient gaps, especially for picky eaters, there are new One a Day Kids Multi Gummies with Iron. The gummies provide 10 key nutrients (like vitamins c, d & e) and an excellent source of iron with 12mg (of iron) in two gummies a day - that's ⅔ of the recommended daily value. No other leading kids' gummy multivitamin has more iron. And kids will like the fruit flavor in a gummy form. That's an easy win for parents and picky kids. Another thing you can do is model healthy eating yourself--kids often mimic their parents, so when they see you choosing nutritious options, they're more likely to follow suit. Involving them in meal prep can also spark their interest; they're more inclined to eat what they help make! You can even tell stories about the foods they're eating to boost their interest (like how they benefit their bodies). Also, if you're looking for easy ways to sneak in more nutrients, blending veggies into sauces or smoothies is a great trick. You can also use more whole grain breads and pastas, or mix in ingredients like beans and lentils for nutrients. Be patient and persistent - it can take multiple exposures to a new food before a child accepts it. And finally, consider adding One a Day Kids Multi to their daily routine for added nutritional support. You can go to oneaday.com to learn more about the different multivitamins in the new kids line. They have three new gummy options, including One a Day Kids Multi, One a Day Kids Multi with Iron , and One a Day Kids Multi with Probiotic .]]></description>

      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[The trick to entertaining is being ready so you can enjoy your party. One of my best secret weapons is Hidden Valley Ranch. I like to make sure I always have it on hand. Especially in the summertime because it tastes so good on so many things. It comes in this new easy squeeze bottle - so it's even easier to use with no mess, less waste, and just so easy to get the perfect amount on. I love their seasoning too, it's great on corn on the cob. It's such a simple way to add a lot of flavor fast, just add a little butter and then sprinkle it on. I also like to season my meats with it before throwing them on the grill. It's amazing on chicken wings to give them this really bold, zesty flavor. Then I always serve them with a side of the dipping ranch because what are wings without ranch? You can find a ton of great recipe ideas on their website at hiddenvalley.com . Now of course summertime screams cherries! They are an amazing snack and because they can go for hours at room temp... they're great for back-to-school time too or in the lunchbox or as an afternoon snack. They're so good for you, being super high in antioxidants, and the red pigments signify how potent their anti-inflammatory benefits are too. Sweet cherries are also great in so many recipes, cherry burgers , BBQ chicken, and an amazing cherry lemon cooler cocktail. To make, just use water, sugar, seltzer, lemon juice, and cherries. Find all these recipes on North West Cherries' website nwcherries.com/recipe . Sweet cherries' fresh season is ending at the close of August, so get them while you can. You can also preserve them frozen, canned, dried, or even pickled. There are a bunch of great recipes for doing that here too at nwcherries.com/sweet-cherry-preservation .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If you're one of the many right now looking to make some simple but fabulous upgrades to your home, we have the scoop on the hottest buys to take your home to the next level. Let's start in the bathroom -- because yes, even that part of your day can be a luxurious experience with a bidet. But, not just any bidet you need a TOTO and their new NEXUS Washlet+ S5 Bidet Toilet and Washlet S2 Bidet Seatndeliver a next-level bathroom experience. If you get a TOTO bidet you are getting better hygiene, more comfort, and a spa-like vibe at home. They're eco-friendly too, cutting energy use by up to 38%, and dramatically reducing toilet paper use. With the touch of a button, you get a fabulous warm water cleanse instantly. Up to four people in your household can save their own settings, adjusting the temperature, water pressure, and spray pattern just how they like it. There's even an oscillating spray feature. More than 60 million have been sold around the world which says a lot. The wand is made of a special resin that resists buildup and cleans itself, inside and out, before and after each use. It also has an automatic deodorizer and a soft night light that turns on when you walk in the bathroom. When paired with a TOTO Toilet, the cords and hoses are tucked away, clean look and clean feel. You can find the S5, S2, and other Washlet models at Amazon, Costco, Home Depot, Wayfair, and Lowe's. Now let's talk countertops. Cosentino is a leader that is known for versatile, design-forward surfaces to elevate both indoor and outdoor spaces. I just had their Dekton Ultracompact surface installed for my outdoor kitchen in Salina Silverkoast and it's just absolutely beautiful. What's so special about it is that it has exceptional resistance to UV rays, stains and scratching -- so it's perfect for entertaining and high-traffic spaces like kitchens, patios, or bathrooms. It's also carbon neutral so an eco-conscious choice and has a 25-year warranty. They have a ton of color options. The latest Dekton Trilium is inspired by volcanic stones, Dekton Bergen inspired by natural portobello stone and Dekton Marmorio which is inspired by a natural stone in Italy. To find Dekton just head to Home Depot or go online to cosentino.com/usa . Lastly, let's look at furniture. I've been a longtime fan of Frontgate, they just have everything you need to elevate your home, both indoors and out. I especially love their outdoor collections. It's all about bringing the beauty of indoor living outside, and Frontgate really gets that. Everything feels just as polished and comfortable as your living room--and that's the key. It's also all about the details. Their outdoor rugs, the carriage house lanterns (which come in all different sizes) to instantly add atmosphere. Their pieces aren't just beautiful--they're built to last. The loveseat, for example, is made with all-weather wicker that can really withstand the elements. In my own backyard, I have a gorgeous teak dining table and chairs. The design is stunning, and the teak is mildew-resistant, so i don't have to worry about it. The cushions are made with 100% solution-dyed fabric that resists mold, mildew, and fading--as a plus they're easy to clean and comfortable. And the best part, these pieces are so stylish and versatile, you could easily bring them indoors. You can shop in-store or online at frontgate.com .]]></description>

      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/keep-your-home-pest-free-bug-season</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[It's bug season and so many of us struggle to get rid of those nasty gnats, fruit, and house flies in the home this time of year. Our little secret is the Zevo Flying Insect Trap . It only takes one week for two fruit flies to become 500 and can take forever to get rid of them. With Zevo they will vanish in just a few days. Try putting one where bugs congregate such as in your kitchen, pantry and even the garage. All you have to do is remove the sheet from the adhesive backing, click the disposable cartridge in place and plug it in. It has this smart Blue and UV light and trap and lock technology cartridge that lures, catches and kills 99.9% of bugs trapped. You never even have to see them, thanks to this patented, curved design. When it's full, you just lift the cartridge by the tab and toss it with no mess. There is no scent either. This helps you outsmart the bugs in your home 24/7 and it's designed to catch house flies, fruit flies, and gnats. It's just a great, safer, and easier alternative to traditional insecticides. You can find Zevo at most major retailers, Amazon, Target, Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe's. The Zevo Flying Insect Trap starter kit is $19.99 and a twin pack of four refill cartridges is $14.99. Other things you should do to keep bugs at bay in the first place, first ditch the bags and chip clips. Only store food in sealed storage containers and that goes for pet food as well. In general, don't keep food out for long periods of time. When it comes to wet garden soil and things like that keep it away from the house--and don't store trash in the garage, as both are common hiding places for critters.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Celebrating the Joy of Being a Caregiver]]></title>
      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/celebrating-joy-being-caregiver</link>

      <description><![CDATA[Across the United States, a quiet revolution of compassion is taking place in living rooms, kitchens, and communities, with more than 53 million Americans serving as caregivers. And the face of family and professional care is changing, bringing both challenges and unexpected joy. A recent national survey by Comfort Keepers a company that operates more than 600 offices nationwide of caregivers who deliver uplifting support to seniors, found that 74% of caregivers say the experience has become one of the most rewarding chapters of their life...Too often, caregiving is framed as only a burden but in the recent study it was found that nearly all caregivers (91%) say it gives them the chance to bond more deeply with the senior in their care and brings them emotional rewards and personal growth. That's why we Comfort Keepers created The National Day of Joy, held annually in June to shift the narrative, celebrating caregiving not just as a responsibility, but as a privilege. Our caregivers bring light and laughter into the lives of seniors every day, and that joy is worth honoring. This year's National Day of Joy coincides with Comfort Keepers' partnership with PBS and their upcoming Caregiving documentary which shares the untold stories of caregiving and the joy it brings. The goal of the documentary is to amplify these voices, to show the emotional landscape of caregiving in America. It's not just about stress or sacrifice, it's about love, resilience, and yes, joy. Comfort Keepers, says it's not just about managing the challenges that come with aging, it's about embracing the possibilities and celebrating the positive changes that come with each passing day. The survey also found that caregiving often starts unexpectedly. Nearly half (43% of caregivers never expected to find themselves filling the role of a caregiver for a senior), highlighting how unexpected and life-changing the caregiving journey can be. This underscores the importance of raising awareness and preparing individuals for a responsibility that often arrives without warning. One of the biggest gaps we see in families today is a lack of preparation when it comes to senior care. In fact, only about a third of Americans say their aging parents have a plan in place. Too often, those important conversations only happen after a health crisis, when stress is high and options feel limited. But aging doesn't have to be reactive, it can be joyful, even empowering, when we plan ahead. Many Americans see caregiving in their future, with 73% of them expecting to care for a loved one someday, signaling a growing awareness of the responsibilities ahead. To learn more about Comfort Keepers and how you can help support a senior loved one's caregiving journey and about The National Day of Joy which will be celebrated in more than 100 locations across the country visit comfortkeepers.com .]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Ways to Enrich Your Pup's Life]]></title>
      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/ways-enrich-your-pups-life</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[Do you feel anxious that your dog is bored? You're not alone, most pet parents do, but a new survey reveals that leaning into enrichment and excitement helps answer that need. A recent survey from Nom Nom, the vet-developed dog food, found that 79% of dog parents feel guilty when their pup seems bored and 71% believe their dog's happiness would improve with more enrichment. In fact, 87% of dog parents admit they have overindulged their dog by buying treats or turning on dog TV - simply because their dog looked sad. Can you believe that nearly one-fourth revealed they've spent more than $1,000 on non-essential items, just to make their dog feel happier? Certified Canine Enrichment Specialist, Tori Mistick recommends enrichment which she defines as going just a bit beyond their basic need to do things that keep your dog engaged, entertained, learning, and exploring. How we feed them and what we feed them plays a huge factor. We all know dogs love to eat, but you can make mealtime magical by what you give them and how you give it to them. Nom Nom is a fresh take on what dog food can be. These veterinarian-developed meals are powered by science and designed to provide complete, balanced nutrition. But what makes them enriching is that they're loaded with irresistible tastes, textures, and aromas that transform mealtime into a joyful, sensory experience; one that nourishes, stimulates, and deepens the connection between dogs and their humans. Plus, they support lifelong health by providing the nutrition your pup needs -- helping them live their very best life. And with easy online ordering through the Nom Nom website , Chewy , or at PetSmart , it's easy to bring daily enrichment home. Mealtime is where Nom Nom is magical, but here are some additional ideas for dog parents to help nurture your dog's curiosity and add moments of discovery, instead of predictable routines. Try stuffing a Woof Pupsicle or Toppl Treat Toy with Nom Nom to turn treats or mealtimes into a fun, brain-boosting challenge. When filled with nutritious food, these toys offer a multi-sensory experience that goes far beyond your average squeaky toy. Sniffing is also very cognitively enriching. Studies show that new and rewarding scents can be incredibly stimulating for dogs. So let them sniff a bit longer on walks--it's not just fun, it engages their brain, relieves stress, and calms anxiety. Or set up a scent tour by hiding treats or scent containers that you can buy in your house or yard. Scent work promotes focus, reduces reactivity, and boosts problem-solving skills. Regular scent-based enrichment can even activate reward pathways in the brain--helping create happier, more balanced dogs. And finally - challenge your pup. Dogs crave mental and physical challenges that keep them engaged - this is the secret to enrichment. Try feeding them in a unique way, such as putting their Nom Nom food in a slow feeder or something like a Tornado Dog Toy to provide your pup with beneficial mental stimulation. Check out Nom Nom's enrichment resources and where to buy the product at makemealtimemagical.com .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Every day, your life is affected by infrastructure - the roads you drive on, the bridges you cross, the water you drink, the rail the metro in our city runs on, or the runway your flight lands on are all examples of infrastructure. And contractors build the foundation for our future and the infrastructure that connects, powers and supports a growing world. Louann Hausner, Global Manager, Marketing Communications at John Deere and Kevin Very, Director of Production Systems & Technology at John Deere were on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C. to talk about the importance of supporting our aging infrastructure and the need for investment in communities all over the country, as proper funding and maintenance is now more critical than ever.

      <title><![CDATA[Home Essentials for a Spring Refresh]]></title>
      <link>https://lifeminute.tv/home-and-family/video/home-essentials-spring-refresh</link>
      <pubDate>04/04/2026 - 02:26</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home for the season. One thing we are loving is Lysol's new range of Lavender & Cotton Blossom scented products . They are a must-have to keep around the house. These products provide Lysol's trusted disinfection, killing 99.9% of germs when used as directed, and leave your home smelling incredible with the refreshing scent of lavender. The newest fragrance in the brand new day collection, Lavender & Cotton Blossom, is available in a suite of Lysol products to disinfect or clean every room in your home. It captures the scent of a lavender field, blending notes of lavender, jasmine, and violet with subtle hints of energizing apple, green pear, rich woody sandalwood, and white musk, reminiscent of cozy cotton blossoms. It embodies the spring season and is so refreshing. One spring cleaning tip we love is to do a full refrigerator clean out. Start by throwing away anything that is past expiration or that you are no longer using. Don't forget to clean the outside of your refrigerator too. The wipes and spray are a go-to for this because they make it so easy and are great for garbage cans, doorknobs, light switches, countertops and sinks. Lysol Lavender & Cotton Blossom makes the whole process of spring cleaning more enjoyable and there's no better feeling than a clean house with a fresh scent. So definitely pick these up, now available at major retailers. Now spring is also the perfect time to finally check off those DIY projects you've been putting on hold. With longer days and warmer weather, it's the ideal season to refresh your home for summer gatherings, and nothing transforms a space faster than a fresh coat of paint. But without the right tools, even simple updates can quickly turn into a hassle. That's why we are reaching for ScotchBlue PROSharp Painter's Tape with Edge-Lock Technology . Backed by over 100 years of Scotch Brand innovation, it's designed for precision, powered by advanced Edge-Lock Technology and seals out paint for ultra-crisp, sharp lines - perfect for everyone, from first-time DIYers to experienced pros. Designed for versatility and ease of use, it delivers two times better hold (than tape with original Edge-Lock Technology) and the sharpest paint lines yet in the ScotchBlue Painter's Tape portfolio. It's a must-have for protecting a variety of indoor or outdoor surfaces like drywall, trim, wood, tile, and more. And the best part? It removes cleanly with no sticky residue, even after exposure to the sun. It's your go-to tool if you're looking to get creative with accent walls, color block, or bold geometric designs that pop. Whether you're refreshing a powder room or taking on a full renovation, this tape has you covered. Pick it up at major retailers nationwide. Visit scotchblue.com to learn more.]]></description>

The new Pre-Shave Foaming Polish infused with lactic acid, sweeps away impurities and preps skin for a smoother shave.

Bundle them together in a little gift basket, and you've got the perfect way to spoil mom this Mother's Day. You can find them at Target, Walmart or Ulta.

      <description><![CDATA[Spring is in the air and we're talking spring things that you must know about right now. With going outside more often and sports season kicking into high gear for families - whether you're a player or referee running up and down the field or a spectator in the spring heat - sweaty laundry with stubborn odors is inevitable this season. You know a lot of people don't realize that sweat creates a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause some serious stink in laundry. To tackle a root cause of odor in laundry, we love using Lysol Laundry Sanitizer . It kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria, when used as directed. Just add it to your laundry routine and it'll leave your family's clothing sanitized and smelling fresh. You can find Lysol Laundry Sanitizer at major retailers and try the 21oz bottle for under $5. And if you're looking to refresh your clothes in between washes you have to check out the LG STUDIO Styler . It's this sleek and stylish steam closet that uses TrueSteam Technology to deodorize and sanitize your clothes. It doesn't use any harsh chemicals, and it helps create a healthier home because it's certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. It helps remove 99% of allergens from fabrics. Plus, there's no plumbing needed so you can put it anywhere, in your laundry room or even in your closet if you like. You can also control it remotely with the LG ThinQ app to monitor energy use, even download special cycles. Go to LG.com to find out more. Pollen season is also in full swing and unfortunately allergens don't stop at the door. Indoor allergens can be just as, if not more prevalent and harmful than those outdoors so it's best to get a handle on it and make your indoor air cleaner. Filtrete offers a range of high-performance filters designed to capture air particles like pollen, dust, mold, pet dander and smoke. And they're compatible with most HVAC systems. The MPR 1900 is their most advanced filter capturing more microscopic particles like allergens, pollution, even bacteria and viruses while delivering better airflow than any other brand. But the key is to change your filters often, at least once every three months. To make it easy the Filtrete smart app helps to track the filter life and set reminders to change them out. Check out filtrete.com for more. The warmer weather also brings unwanted guests in and around the home. Ants in and out and roach control switching from proactive to reactive, so no doubt everyone needs Combat Max and their roach killing bait and 2-in-1 Ant Bait. The killing bait is a long-term easy solution. It's actually made with food that attracts both small and large roaches, eliminating the source of the problem before they multiply. And the Combat Max 2-in-1 Ant Bait is formulated to control and kill common household ants in as little as 3-5 days, and it's perfect to use indoor and outdoor. Plus, it's great because it doesn't have any vapor, fumes, or odor. It's easy to use and effective, and you can find Combat products at Walmart and Amazon .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It's getting warmer and we all want to be outside, including our pets and that's why spring is an important time for pet care. Dr. Taneeka Bautista, Director of Veterinary Quality at Banfield Pet Hospital - the nation's leading provider of preventive veterinary care, shares some pet care tips and tricks for the spring season. After being indoors for much of the winter, spring is a time when we emerge to soak up the sunshine with our pets. This of course presents a whole new set of things you need to be aware of, from seasonal allergies to communicable diseases, so it's always a good idea to take a beat and reevaluate your pet's health. At Banfield Pet Hospital, they are all about delivering top-notch preventive veterinary care and achieving the best outcomes for our beloved pets. The best way to keep our pets healthy is to prevent problems before they arise and one of the easiest and most affordable ways to do this is through a wellness plan. You can talk to your vet about options, like Banfield Optimum Wellness Plan. These customizable packages let you budget for routine care, including annual exams, bloodwork, vaccines, dental cleanings, and more, making pet care a breeze. With the sunny skies, everyone--including our pets--starts socializing and traveling more, which can sometimes lead to communicable diseases, especially for dogs. Regular checkups and keeping their vaccines up-to-date helps ensure your pets stay healthy and happy. Watch for and talk to your veterinarian about any changes in behavior, loss of appetite, coughs or other respiratory issues - all of which could be symptoms of an underlying issue. Another treatment you should make sure your pet is up to date on is flea, tick, and heartworm medication. While fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can be a year-round problem, they start coming out more in the warmer weather. In fact, according to the American Heartworm Society, more than a million pets in the U.S. have heartworm, and cases are on the rise. The good news is, you can easily prevent these with topical, oral, or injectable treatments, keeping your pets safe and protected. Similar to humans, we see allergic skin disease emerge in spring leading to skin and dermatology issues; such as itchiness and ear problems. Stay vigilant and talk to your vet to keep your furry friends comfortable - you can even use telehealth apps like Banfield's Pet Chat for 24/7 pet health advice from a veterinary professional. It's a great time to check up on your pet's dental routine. Taking care of their teeth at home is super important for their overall health but annual professional cleanings should also be part of their holistic dental care. Another thing to consider is upping the activity to keep your pet's extra pounds in check. Many pets are less active in the cooler months or around the holidays. Regular physical activity is essential for keeping your pet healthy and happy. With over 1,000 locations across the country, Banfield makes sure you have access to your pet's medical records and high-quality care no matter where you are. Pet owners can learn more about Banfield's services at banfield.com .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[As the weather warms up, and dogs are out and about more, it's important to start discussing pet vaccination options with your veterinarian. Dr. Natalie Marks, a veterinarian, shares the latest information on transmission, prevention, and what pet owners should look out for to keep their dogs healthy and safe. Respiratory disease in dogs starts to ramp up in the spring, peaking between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with July being the peak month. Therefore, it's important to start thinking about and talking with your veterinarian about vaccine options for your pet. Diseases such as Canine Influenza Virus (CIV), Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPIV), and Bordetella bronchiseptica are prevalent during the respiratory season. They can easily be transmitted through direct contact, contaminated surfaces like toys, leashes, or water bowls, and by respiratory secretions. Both diseases can quickly spread in daycares and kennels. As families plan to travel for spring break and consider boarding their pets, it's the perfect time to think about getting them vaccinated to avoid the spread of these diseases. While most cases are mild, with symptoms including cough, fever, runny nose, lethargy, and loss of appetite, persistent coughing can cause prolonged discomfort, and, in severe instances, these diseases can result in pneumonia, which can be life-threatening. Dr. Marks advises that the best strategy to protect your dog is prevention through vaccination. Merck Animal Health offers two preventive vaccines -- NOBIVAC(R) Intra-Trac(R) Oral BbPi and NOBIVAC(R) NXT Canine flu H3N2. NOBIVAC(R) Intra-Trac(R) Oral BbPi is the first and only oral vaccine that delivers dual protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica and Canine Parainfluenza Virus, two of the most common causes of kennel cough. It is administered orally by simply twisting the Immuno-Mist-R applicator until tight and misting toward the back of the mouth for can't-miss coverage. NOBIVAC(R) NXT Canine flu H3N2, which is now available in vet clinics across the U.S., is the first and only canine influenza vaccine built on Merck Animal Health's RNA-particle technology platform to protect against the critical influenza strain of concern of canine influenza virus circulating in the country. Learn more at merckanimalhealth.com and pet parents should ask their vet about protecting your dog against canine influenza with NOBIVAC(R).]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[With tax season in full swing, scammers are working overtime to steal personal information and your refunds at every stage of the tax filing process, even attempting to file fraudulent returns in your name. In fact, 81% of people have reported falling victim to a tax scam, according to the latest LifeLock study. Making it even worse, with all the AI, you need to be careful. LifeLock has some easy tips to stay safe. First, know that the IRS will never reach out to you via email, text, or social media to request personal or financial info, so if you see anything from the IRS through these methods, it's likely a scam. Next, be careful with tax prep services and make sure your tax preparer has a valid preparer tax id number and is authorized to file returns. A service like LifeLock helps monitor and protect against identity theft. Norton 360 with LifeLock is also great because it's an all-in-one protection for your devices, online privacy, and identity. Plus, it includes Norton Genie Scam Protection, which uses AI to detect and fight advanced scams. It will alert you and help flag suspicious texts, emails, and websites you browse, and it blocks fraudulent calls--lots of layers of protection to help you avoid becoming the next scam victim. Next, update your passwords, enable multi-factor authentication on your accounts and devices, and double-check your credit reports for signs of ID theft. Staying ahead of scammers doesn't need to be complicated. Learn more at lifelock.com or norton.com . This time of year, you want to make sure everything in your home is up to snuff by checking fire alarms and smoke detectors. You also want to make sure your power is protected during unexpected outages. We are loving this kit from Jackery. It's their 5000 Plus , an essential home backup kit, which comes with two 500-watt high-powered solar panels, along with a smart transfer switch that seamlessly integrates into your home's electrical system, letting you generate your own clean power. Unlike traditional gas generators, it's quiet and indoor-safe. Usually, whole home systems require hefty installation, but this kit will cover your most needed essentials for half the cost.

Then their SKS ThinQ (R) app, lets you monitor meals that are in the oven in real-time, record time-lapse video and share them with friends and family. For entertaining, the upper-level game room hosts a 24-inch Wine Refrigerator with Wine Cave Technology™ storing up to 41 bottles, keeping them perfectly chilled and ready with dual temperature zones.
