Making Ourselves at Home

This post has been sponsored by Filtrete™ Brand. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The home posts are starting to come together! Our lives have been such a whirlwind since putting in an offer on a fixer-upper, gutting a giant house, and putting it back together so we could move in and have a baby! As write this post I am 39 weeks pregnant and I cannot believe the last couple months we have had!

I’ve said it before but it needs to be said again, this house needed TONS of work. I wouldn’t have let Hilde walk around on the flooring that was in this house. We scraped ceilings, took out walls, painted everything, and redid ALL the flooring. We had to get rid of smells and pet messes that were all over the house.

While we cleaned everything physically, we also wanted to make sure that the air we were breathing was clean as well! It is Winter here in Colorado and our furnace is pumping that heat through our entire house! So we picked up some Filtrete™ Smart Air Filters for our furnace to give us peace of mind knowing our filters are clean!

When I was shopping at Lowe’s (one of the billion times we were there getting stuff for our house) I was looking in the filters aisle at everything out. I liked that Filtrete™ SMART HVAC Filters were smart and would prompt filter change at the right time! This is so nice for this busy mama, especially since our furnace is in our unfinished basement and I’m very pregnant/ a mom of two babies. I value convenience and peace of mind. Also, the rest of our house is smart anyways! HAHA!

It is super easy to install (even I can do it!) and there is a pressure sensor that connects
through Bluetooth. Then you just use the FiltreteTM Smart App to check on your air quality information at any given time, be alerted when it needs to be changed, and even order new ones in the correct size!

These are the months when our furnace is most active and if you don’t know the last time that filter has been changed, I highly recommend you change it and breathe easier knowing your air is being cleaned! You can find FiltreteTM Smart Filters at Lowes.com here and you can check to see where the closest one to your house is here if you don’t already have the quickest path memorized like I do! HAHA!This is your home. It’s the place you sleep, eat, play, and live. And this is now our home. This Filtrete™ Smart Air Filter is one item that helps me achieve a cleaner home, so we can breathe easier and make ourselves at home.
