How Iris is Making My Summer Vacations Even Better

June 5 by Janssen

We’re back today with Janssen’s final post on what it was really like taking her regular old home and turning it into a “smart home”. (Read all about the innovative ways she set up her home with the Iris by Lowe’s system in her last post, here.) After reading today's post, I am once again more than a little jealous that I handed the Iris off to her instead of keeping it for myself. I can't believe all the options you have with this system! Today we're covering all that the Iris by Lowe’s … [Read more...]

Why I Passed on a Free Sleep Number Bed… And What I Got Instead

May 18 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

I've got to start today with a warning: this is a LONG post. (If you want to skip straight to the mattress I finally ended up with - and LOVE - and the limited time offer for MPMK readers of 10% off and a bonus worth $500 that includes my favorite bamboo sheets, !) It's one I've been wanting to write for a long time and is packed with so much good stuff that I just couldn't trim it. I know it's a lot but I really hope you do read it all! I have become so passionate about the importance of … [Read more...]

A Smart Home in 1-2-3: Lowe’s Iris System is THAT Easy

May 4 by Janssen

How to set up a "smart home" to make your life so much easier! Motion sensors, smart phone compatible, and even smart fabs that will tell you where your kids are all the time- The Iris system from Lowe's is SO COOL!

We're back today with Janssen's follow-up post on what it was really like taking her regular old home and turning it into a "smart home". Did you see her first post on the topic? Full disclosure: after reading Janssen's review, I am more than a little jealous that I gave this post to her instead of keeping the Iris by Lowe's system for myself. I could really use the ability to turn off my son's star light with my phone after he falls asleep at night. And a smart fob I can just put on … [Read more...]
