We have lived in our currently location off and on for about 11 years. We have two bathrooms, one in our bedroom and one for guests. Or what we would like to say our daughter's bathroom. This bathroom has a place for a bathtub/shower; however, we never felt the need to have one installed because our daughter used our shower in the master bedroom. It wasn't until recently, we decided it was time we see about remodeling the guest bathroom. I guess it had to do with having a family member move in, and I don't want to share my shower. I have been looking at different lighting to go in the guest bathroom I want lighting that will set off the shower. We are in the process of installing a tile shower. The bathroom isn't a very big one so we thought a shower would be best. When it comes to remodeling there's so many things to take into factor. How many of you turn to the internet when it comes time to remodel to get an idea of designs and cost? The internet is my main go to place … [Read more...]
Security Cameras Come in Handy
There has been some issues around here lately, my husband and I have 3 security cameras in place. Two I received for review, and the one I won. I have to say I love all three, the one actually records and uploads to a cloud server, this allowing me to check the feed while I am away or if I have been sleeping. The other two I have set up to email me when it detects motion. I went outside this morning and noticed someone had been in my yard, because a few things are missing. With the drama going on I knew who it was and why they took the items. HOWEVER, they have been informed by the police they CANNOT come in this yard without permission, and we have no trespassing signs in our yard. This lady thinks she is above the law, she thinks she has say over everyone and everything. She found out the hard way she doesn't have say over everything, and if she comes in my yard again she will find out the hard way she isn't above the law. This is the reason to have security cameras, I want … [Read more...]
Does Past Debt Got You Scratching Your Head
Does money issues have you putting those credit cards on hold? Has it got so bad where you have stopped paying credit cards? Did you know there are places out there that can help you lower those bills so you can pay them. I knew long ago I would be bad when it came to those credit cards so I never got one. Having one would be great for emergency reasons; however, those who get them for that reason end up charging them up for other non-emergency items. Don't let that credit card debt keep piling up, and stop those annoying calls by making plans to pay off that debt. With Christmas coming up most will probably be going over board and making several charges, if at all possible try saving so much out of your pay check each week and make this holiday a non credit card one, if you don't have the cash for the item, don't get it. How many of you have several credit cards? … [Read more...]
Monster High Costumes
We went to Walmart last night and they had a display where the Monster High Costumes once were. It looks as though every little girl in the county will be going as those Monster High girls. Last year my daughter went as lagoona blue. This year they have more costumes, and Monster High has become a bit more popular. I can say this much at least when we go to the store we have a selection of Monster High dolls now. Before as soon as they hit the shelves they were sold and on ebay with jacked up prices. I remember when the $22 sweet 1600 car was on ebay for almost $80 dollars. I mean really some people are worse then the people running our oil supply and gas stations. My daughter never got into Barbie dolls, so when the Monster High dolls came out I wasn't sure she would actually play with them once she got them. To my surprise she places with them for hours at a time. She has roughly 22 thankfully she earned the money from Grandma and Grandpa, to purchase most of them. I think … [Read more...]

Halloween Safety
It will not be much longer and the kids will be dressing up in those spooky costumes to go to those Halloween events. As parents we need to make sure we practice safety. When picking out Halloween costumes this year make sure the costumes are not to long so they will fall, and if anything is going over their faces make sure they can see. Our small town has done away with trick or treating, and the community has all come together to do a small event at the ballpark. I miss the old traditional Halloweens. When we were kids we would have a blast going door to door, now things are a bit unsafe. Last year was our last year going trick or treating, our daughter is now 11 and has no interest. I am glad her last year was done with her cousins in Michigan. We all had fun walking the cold streets. That is one thing I will never forget trick or treating in the colder states sometimes you go out in the snow! This year remember safety first. … [Read more...]

Summer Camp
When I was younger every summer we went off to camp. Summer camp was only two weeks long, but it was always the best two weeks of summer. From the time we got there until the time we left we were always doing something. Whether is be in the arts and craft building polishing rocks, making friendship bracelets, or down by the lake having a camp fire and singing the peanut butter and jelly song. I remember having to get up first thing in the morning shower and then march to the cafeteria for breakfast. Me on the other hand before I hit the showers, I ran down to the lake to do some polar bearing with a few other of my camp buddies. I actually got the polar bear certificate, because every morning I hit the cold great lakes. Looking back at it now, that was plan crazy, but I was a kid and kids do those crazy things. When it comes to sending your kids off to camp, it's important that you know where you're sending them. Tips On Trips And Camps will help you a long the way. Allowing your … [Read more...]
