Talking Tech with Tamera: A Celebrity Supermom with a Secret Weapon Blog

When I first heard that I’d be sitting down for a chit-chat with the lovely and talented talk show host and former Sister Sister actress, Tamera Mowry-Housley, I was a bundle of nerves and excitement. After all, I had been a huge fan of hers (and her twin sister, Tia) for many years in my adolescence.   Fast-forward two decades later, and we’re sitting at her kitchen table, conversing like old friends. We quickly realize we have much in common. We’re close to the same age, and with kids nearly the same ages (each of us with a boy and a girl). And we’re both busy, full-time working moms.

Stay in Style: Top 10 'Smart' Vacation Homes for Rent Blog

  Vacation homes on sites like VRBO and airbnb are all the rage right now. Travelers are finding that it's more enjoyable, convenient, and oftentimes even more affordable, to stay in someone's personal pad than in a hotel. And when you stay in a smart rental, you're generally provided with more amenities that you may have never experienced before, such as one-touch control over a whole-house audio system, one-remote to control all of the entertainment equipment, and simplified management over lighting throughout the entire home—with everything being incredibly straightforward and easy to use, of course.

Wi-Fi: What it is, Why You Need it, and How to Make It Work Better. Blog

This post comes to us from Rob Dzedzy, President of Media Rooms, Inc., and regular Houzz contributor. Wi-Fi used to be considered a nice convenience in the home — now it’s an absolute necessity. The number of connected devices will reach about 50 billion in the next five years, according to Dave Evans, former chief futurist at Cisco. In addition to your personal computer and iPad, many home devices already are and will continue to be connected, including thermostats, lights, door locks, ovens, coffee makers, motorized shades and home entertainment systems.
