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:

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.

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!

Get a jumpstart on your garden

It’s been a long winter here in MN, so when we get nice warm weather like we did this weekend, we all get the itch to get outside and work in the yard. Spring officially starts on Saturday March 20, but that is way too early to start working in the yard. With all of the moisture we’ve had this year, it’s best to stay off your lawn as much as you can. There are a few things that you can do to get started:

Prune trees: it’s a great time to start trimming up the trees. A handsaw works great, but if you do want something with a little more power you can always try the Homelite Gas Chain Saw, it's under $140 and will get the job done in a snap. If you've got a smaller job or just don't want to deal with the mess of a gas chainsaw, you can always try the Tornado Tools 18 volt Chain Saw it's great for smaller jobs and won't cut a chunk out of your wallet!

Start your vegetables indoors: Now is the perfect time to get your indoor greenhouse started and get some dirt under your fingernails! Most stores have the small indoor greenhouses or flat sectioned trays with clear raised lids. These are great for starting your seeds indoors and getting a head start on the short growing season. Heartland even has some LED Miracle Grow Lights that will give your seedlings the extra boost they might need during our cloudy spring.

Tune up your lawn care equipment: There’s nothing like going out for that first mow and finding out the lawn mower isn't working. Get out and make sure everything is gassed up and in working order. The line at the repair shop will be much shorter if you get it all fixed now! Heartland also has some great deals on new lawn and yard care equipment that you might want to check out. I know that once the season starts, we have a hard time keeping it in stock!
