    What are the Advantages of LED Christmas Lights?

    November 22, 2018 / 21 Comments

    Post may contain affiliate links. LED Christmas lights are filling the shelves at local stores and that’s a good thing. In the last several years, the LED light has become easy to find for holiday decorating. Available in a variety of shapes and colors, people unfamiliar with the benefits of LED lights may have difficulty choosing what to buy. The first year we shopped for LED lights I was overwhelmed, especially by the price. But, over the last couple of years I have replaced quite a few of our lights both in my office and around the house. Our Christmas lights are almost entirely LED now, but for a few…

    Rethink Bedroom Decor – Amazing Jysk Bedding and Drapery Sale!

    April 6, 2018 /

    The JYSK bedding and drapery sale might be the catalyst to get me started on a redecorating project here this summer. Every summer I have the fever. The redecorating fever. This summer my youngest daughter and I are planning to redo her bedroom. So right now we are blue sky dreaming about all the possibilities. She asked last night for a new bed. It’s not the first time she’s asked. I’ve been procrastinating because it seems super expensive. But, then I spied the JYSK bedding and drapery sale and thought it might just be worth checking out. The deals are pretty amazing and you can’t go wrong with all the…

    October 9, 2017 /

    Because natural disasters and emergencies can happen at any time without warning, the best we can do is be prepared. Disasters don’t just affect the adults but children as well. Unlike toddlers, teenagers can actually be a great resource during an emergency. Whenever possible, they should  be involved in disaster preparedness to better equip them on how to behave and respond to such unfortunate events.   Here’s what every teen should know about emergency preparedness.

    Rocky’s Reels – Helping Us Take Better Care of Our Pool

    August 24, 2017 /

    Rocky’s Reels is helping us take care of our pool with our new easy to use pool reel. As you might recall, we recently got a new solar cover for our pool, but we really needed to replace our old pool reel too. Just like our old cover, our old pool cover reel had seen better days. We inherited our old reel from the prior owners of our house. It was cheap plastic, rusty and heavy, and made it awkward to roll up our pool cover. I’m excited to say out with the old and in with the new pool reel from Rocky’s Reels to complete our pool care makeover…

    Decorate Your Home with Canvas Prints from Canvas Champ

    August 6, 2017 /

    Decorate your home with canvas prints! No, I don’t mean paintings. I mean photo canvas prints. They’re an excellent way to commemorate family memories without the same old boring frame on the wall or 8″x10″ on the counter. With photo canvas prints, you can decorate your home with something unique. They’re quite attractive, with a photo quality image and that great canvas texture we all know and love. Decorate Your Home with Stylish Prints I have a few photo canvas prints in my home. They’ve become my simple way to add photographs to my walls or table tops and I like the look of them.

    Better Sleep with Our Douglas Bed Canadian Mattress

    July 24, 2017 /

    An eco-friendly Canadian mattress company that helps with better sleep? It’s about time. Better sleep is in high demand in a lot of homes. Everybody wants a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, that can be elusive for a lot of people. Better sleep starts in the morning with good habits, and it hinges on having a good mattress too. Our old mattress was well over ten years old. And my husband has had minor complaints about sleep for months now. When he injured his shoulder in the spring at work, his sleep deteriorated even more, which meant I also suffered. When I heard about Douglas Bed by Novosbed I decided it was time to make better sleep a…

    Solar Cover Tips – Keep Your Pool Clean and Toasty

    June 19, 2017 /

    Solar cover tips can help you keep your pool warm, clean and efficient. The “tips” part is important. You can’t just go out and snag a solar cover. Well, you can, but you’ll be flying blind. Which means you won’t get as much effect as you would if you knew exactly how to use it. We recently had to get another solar cover. Our last one fell apart in September and we needed a new one to replace it. Thanks to the folks at Pool Supplies Canada, we have a great clean solar cover to keep our pool clean and warm. The following solar cover tips will help you get the most…

    Spring Cleaning Made Simple – All the Things You Usually Forget #CloroxMeansClean

    April 24, 2017 /

    Spring cleaning is a great way to get a fresh start for the season. Seems like over the winter months we accumulate so much stuff. When the weather changes it’s time to give the house a good purge. You might as well clean too. I started reading Spark Joy this week by Marie Kondo, and it has inspired me to start the spring cleaning process too. From getting the dust bunnies out from behind the couches that never get moved to flipping mattresses and changing the sheets, spring cleaning is time to give your home a good purge and clean. But even when you think you did a thorough job…
