MAXIMUS Smart Security Light: all-in-one light and camera

Maximus light in day

The newly released MAXIMUS Smart Security Light is so much more than an outdoor lighting fixture that happens to have a camera. Their Smart Security Light is beautiful in its own right, with 4 different models to choose from that can match just about any house exterior {Coach, Contemporary, Craftsman and Traditional}. The Smart Security Light also has two-way talk so you can engage in live conversation or play a message every time someone is detected. Add in the fact that it’s easy to install and doesn’t require an electrician or damage the exterior of your house, and it’s not hard to see why we love it so.

LG Watch W7 outside

I found the perfect gift in the LG Watch W7 Smartwatch from Best Buy. Not only does it combine all the smart functions I was looking for with the analog sensibility of real watch hands, it has the added benefit of looking much more like a traditional watch. Perfect for keeping in touch while working and at meetings where I don’t want to pull out my phone.

Build, code & play with JIMU Robots

It’s incredibly important to me that I introduce my kids to all aspects of STEM-based learning, especially those that aren’t naturally tech-inclined. In my search for tech toys, I’ve found my new favorite toy that truly makes STEM learning fun: The JIMU Robot System. They can build, code, and play with their own customizeable robot for hours and hours of fun, all while learning the basics of robotics.

Mary's Place donation bins

For me, the idea of homelessness isn’t an abstract problem. I’ve known many homeless families throughout the years – All of their stories are different, but each one is just as heartbreaking as the last. So, I love that Comcast is partnering with Mary’s Place in Washington to tackle homelessness and help close the digital divide.
