Reviewing the Geekey Multi-Tool: A Must-Have Travel Tool (TSA Compliant)

Last Christmas, we were fortunate to visit the Holiday Inn Resort in Tyler and I was EXCITED to have access to a kitchen. We purchased canned goods, fruits, and vegetables for our family and I was so prepared...or so I thought. Unfortunately, this kitchen did not have a can opener. So, this meant that I had to try to use a pocket knife from the Dollar Tree and that did not work either.

So, no canned goods for us. No black beans, no green beans, and no corn. I promised my family that I would be more prepared next time! That night, I searched on the internet for a travel can opener that is TSA compliant and I found several multi-key tools, but I never purchased one. A few months later, we were contacted by the Geekey company to review their product and I JUMPED at the opportunity.

You can check out the Geekey Multi-Tool here - https://amzn.to/3cbX4M7

This tool is life changing for our family. It is heavy duty and it can perform the following functions:

Bike Spoke Key

Multi-Fit Driver

Wire (Refiner). ;)

Open Wrench

Ruler

Bit Driver

Scoring Tip (great for opening boxes - instead of using a key)

Bottle Opener

Closed Wrench

Serrated Edge

Can Opener

File

Wire Bender

Multi-Head Fit

and Lanyard Hole

We will definitely keep this around, because we are always opening Amazon boxes, fixing items around the house with a Phillips head screwdriver, opening cans, and using a can opener!

Remember to add this item to your holiday gift and birthday list!

Sincerely,

The Weekends Count Family

Samsonite Underseater Carry On Luggage is Great for Travelers

I typically travel 2-3 times per months and this makes packing and unpacking a process that I began to dread each time. I decided to address this dread head-on and to do something about it. I began packing the essentials in one pack instead of two bags.

Also, I dread spending extra money on checking a bag. In fact, I had to not checked a bag in over 9 years. When they began charging for checking a bag with the airline, I began to pack creatively.

Check out this bag on Amazon - Samsonite Large Wheeled Underseater
https://amzn.to/2CoMtNk

From packing potential medicines (headache medicine, pepto tabs, etc.) to packing additional shoes (because once I had a shoe malfunction in New Orleans at a conference), I had to pack items that I could use time and after time that I travel.

So, now I have this routine:

1 - Wash and Dry the Same Outfits Each Time
2 - Restock Any Medicine
3 - Restock the Toiletry Bag
4 - Restock the Food Bag (Teas, Creamer)
5 - Check my Electronic Hot Tea Maker

I pack all of the items listed above (at all times) in my Samsonite Underseat bag. Here's a video about my bag!

This has been the best bag for me and sometimes it is large enough for a weekend trip for my family. It has everything that I need in a bag and I never have to worry about leaving something at home because it is all there. With 15+ pockets and zipper sections, you have room for almost everything.

This bag has fit under economy seats on American Airlines and United Airlines. It is perfect for almost every adventure and in fact, I've escaped having to check my bag because it fit under the seat. 

If you decide to purchase the bag, I strongly recommend that you connect with the airlines ahead of time about any seats one the aircraft that might have an added electronic panel. This panel can cause many travelers to rethink their packing strategy, because the Samsonite Underseater will not fit under those seats. This is true unless, they are inserted under the seat creatively.

Five Reasons Why YOU Need a Variety of Lightening Cable Sizes

As a parent, we are modern day superheroes for our families. We can navigate driving in the rain, protecting our families from storms, and also from waking our children with a bright light when we need to find our cell phone charging cables in the dark.

There are certain situations when parents REALLY need to find cell phone charging cords in the dark. These situations can include...

1 - Charging your cell phones in a hotel without waking the entire room.

2 - Finding the charging cable in your purse (when plugged into a mobile charger)

3 - Leaving for a trip early in the morning and finding those last minute items before departing in the shuttle.

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

Also, there are MULTIPLE reasons WHY you should have a variety of charging cord sizes! 

1 - You can stretch your 6-foot cord to the back of the car to meet the charging needs of your children.

2 - You can use a 1-foot cord to charge devices in your purse without having a cord dangling from your bag!

3 - You can use a 3-4 foot cord to charge devices in your travel (or everyday backpack).

4 - You can charge items in your office on your desk (while having the 6 foot cord extend to the wall.

5 - You can always have a 1, 3/4, 6 foot cord ready-to-go for all of your parenting adventures, whether day-to-day or seasonal vacations!

We recommend the Aimus [3-Pack] Lightning Cable with LED Light (Black) as a MUST HAVE for travelers! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074DQYFK7
