Congratulations, Tabitha! By the way, I love your name and I’m so happy for you on your anniversary!

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

Today marks the five-year anniversary of the day Chris and I drained our parents’ bank accounts, got sick, and entered into married bliss. It couldn’t have been better, really.

After returning from our honeymoon, the night before we were going to see all our friends and family again, we got into a wild pillow fight that ended with Chris sporting an obnoxious black eye for about a week. I tried every concealer I had, but nothing could hide it. Still, he loved me.

When we hit almost a month of marriage, we thought it would be fun to host a dinner party and invite our friends over. I planned a full menu of Fiesta Lime Chicken, Spanish Rice, and Fried Plantains. Everything was going smoothly until Chris went upstairs to take a shower, and I thought it was the perfect time to make the Fried Plantains. But then—*boom*—the kitchen caught fire. I calmly told him the kitchen was on fire and called the Fire Department. He ran down the stairs grabbing a towel on his way. After a few minutes, my hero put the fire out using his towel. So there he stood, completely naked, in our kitchen as I told him he might want to put some pants on since the firefighters would be coming for dinner. He still loved me.

On our one-month anniversary, he gave me a fire extinguisher. I still loved him.

Many adventures and a few years later, we’re more in love than ever.

Because we’re in such wedded bliss, I wanted to share a few of my favorite Bliss products with you. Like the slightly fun and flirty scented blood orange + white pepper body butter. Every time I use it, Aliyah keeps sniffing me and says, “Mommy, you smell good.” If my two-year-old likes it, I think you’ll like it too.

I randomly picked up a few of their products here and there, and last year when we were in San Francisco, the hotel stocked our room with all things Bliss. It was divine.

A few shots from our latest photo adventure. I think these were taken by Briony… when I handed her my camera and ran for a quick snuggle. Haha, thanks Bri!

Smart Cylinder Lock

Smart Cylinder Locks represent the latest advancement in security technology, combining traditional mechanical locking mechanisms with cutting-edge digital features to provide enhanced convenience, safety, and control. Designed to replace or retrofit existing cylinder locks on doors, cabinets, or safes, these smart locks offer users a seamless way to manage access without the need for physical keys. Utilizing Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, or biometric technologies such as fingerprint recognition, smart cylinder locks enable keyless entry that can be controlled remotely via smartphone apps or integrated with home automation systems.

The key benefits of smart cylinder locks include enhanced security protocols such as real-time access logs, temporary or scheduled user permissions, and tamper alarms that alert owners to unauthorized attempts. Many models feature encrypted communication and fail-safe mechanical override options to ensure that security is never compromised. Installation is typically straightforward and requires minimal modification to existing door hardware, making smart cylinder locks an ideal choice for residential homes, commercial offices, and institutional facilities alike.

In addition to their robust security features, smart cylinder locks offer unmatched convenience and flexibility. Users can grant access to family members, guests, or maintenance personnel remotely and revoke permissions instantly when needed. Integration with voice assistants and smart home ecosystems allows for seamless operation through voice commands or automated routines. Battery-powered designs ensure operation even during power outages, and low-battery alerts help maintain uninterrupted security.

Smart cylinder locks come in a variety of designs and finishes to match different door types and aesthetics, including brass, stainless steel, and matte black. They are also engineered to meet industry standards for durability and weather resistance, ensuring reliable performance both indoors and outdoors. Whether upgrading a single entry point or outfitting an entire building, smart cylinder locks deliver a future-ready security solution that combines advanced technology with user-friendly functionality.

As the demand for smart home security solutions grows, smart cylinder locks continue to evolve with features like biometric multi-factor authentication, anti-hacking safeguards, and cloud-based management platforms. Choosing a smart cylinder lock means investing in a secure, flexible, and modern locking system that adapts to the needs of today’s connected lifestyle.
