#MotownMom: Home security on a budget: Awesome #Blink for less than $250 on @Amazon
Living in Detroit, you have to do what you can to protect yourself without breaking the bank. Having security is one of the number one ways I’ve found to keep people I don’t want out of my home and stealing my things. There’s also the barbed wire, vicious dog, floor traps, moats of alligators and the labyrinth home with designed as well. (That’s a whole ‘nother post).
I’d also like to note at no time is Blink paying me to say anything. I found this system and I liked it. I really liked it and I wanted others to know about it.
In one year of living in Detroit, I had been robbed over five times. It was crazy and depressing, but I knew I had to get on top of securing my house or find a better way to catch the crooks who were robbing me blind.
First, I got the ADT signs., until I could afford the service. (I pay about $40 a month without the camera system.)
I did want to have camera’s but using ADT is about $60 a month.Yet it’s only for three cameras and cost goes up if you want more cameras. How do you find a way not to pay?
The Beau discovered this Blink system because he just has this ability to stumble across tech that’s awesome.
You get three cameras and a box. Additional cameras can be added without any cost. You hook it up the box to your Internet, download the Blink app and then sync the cameras to the system.
That easy. It took the Beau to install the cameras that come with a light and microphone (so it records in the dark and captures sound) about thirty minutes. We talked about the vulnerable places in the house we needed to see. the basement window, by the side and the hallway inside of the house. And we wanted to be able to control these without having to rely on ADT.
WAh-Lah! That was it.
Clear digital pictures house in 30-second increments on the system and there’s no monthly fee!
Yes! No monthly fee. Once you buy the system, you are using the app for life. That’s it!
For two hundred and fifty dollars that’s not bad at all!
I added an additional back up battery to our Internet so if our power goes out, the Internet will work for about 16 hours. ADT gives you a backup battery system too for a couple of days.
Our next step is to add a generator to the house… a very quiet generator!
All in all, we’re happy with the Blink system. It’s easy to install, cost effective and gives you that added security of “I got you on camera!” #MotownMoms, you should definitely look into it.
How important is security to you? What security system are you thinking about trying? Have tried?
Buy your Blink now!

#MotownMom PR: @UDMDetroit’s Center for Social Entrepreneurship helped prepare new business owners for success #Detroit
The event was established to support women (and a few good men) who want to start or grow their own social venture startups that will ultimately help to address and solve issues that exist in the community.
“Advancing social entrepreneurship is what we are all about,” said Derrin J. Leppek, co-director of the Center for Social Entrepreneurship. “Partnering with the Michigan Women’s Foundation and the Ford Fund to put on this event is a great opportunity for each of us to scale our impact and collectively reach a broader audience.”
The summit kicked off the yearlong EmpowerHER competition that will provide participants with technical assistance, educational opportunities, financial resources and networking to support the cultivation of local social venture enterprises that serve the community. For more than 30 years, the Michigan Women’s Foundation has been an important resource for local women entrepreneurs by helping to eradicate social inequality and economic barriers that many women face. The Foundation does this through various programs and the microloan fund, the largest in Michigan. Carolyn Cassin, CEO of the Michigan Women’s Foundation, believes MWF’s partnership with the Ford Motor Company Fund for the EmpowerHER Summit and competition is another way for the organization to fulfill this mission.
At the summit, TED talk-like presentations and keynote addresses from successful social entrepreneurs, including Michigan First Lady Sue Snyder, gave attendees an inside look at what it takes to create social change while making a profit.
“Women are transforming the world we live in and are a force for economic change,” Snyder said. “Women are certainly doing their part in taking advantage of Michigan’s growing economy. Currently, there are more than 33,000 establishments run by women in Michigan that employ over 230,000 people in our state. This may seem like a lot, but this only accounts for 7 percent of businesses in Michigan. Ladies, we can do better! I believe women can and should be at the forefront of creating an even better business environment here in Michigan. We have the ideas, the passion and the drive to make it happen, and thanks to programs like EmpowerHER, these dreams are becoming a reality. Each person in this room has a unique and innovative idea that is valuable to the economic diversity and strength of our state,” Snyder added.
The Detroit Mercy Center for Social Entrepreneurship was established to improve Detroit livelihoods by addressing the educational needs of social entrepreneurs. The primary offering is the Boost program, an advanced course offered twice a year to social entrepreneurs throughout the region that aims to strengthen and scale their enterprise.

A Good Wife
Really enjoyed this read
Life continues to surprise me in happy ways since I’ve returned from my solo winter in Florida. One of the things that I particularly notice that makes my life easier is my approach to dinner. Before Florida, once a week I spent an hour going through my collection of cookbooks, making out a weekly menu of meals. At the same time, I wrote down any items I needed for each dinner on a page-long shopping list.
This made me feel like a good wife, even though half the time, Al would not be home in time for dinner. He might unexpectedly work late. Or the gym had been very crowded. Perhaps Hall Road was a parking lot due to construction work. Even if Al was home, he’d rarely come to the table when the meal was ready. He was “just finishing” something on the computer or in the garage. Often…
