Windows

My mom built a conservatory onto the house and wants to get all double glazing cost for the windows. The double glazing helps keep the heat in during the cold months of the year, so that the plants and flowers do not die. My mom has the greenest thumb and loves to grow flowers and plants. I love it when she brings me clippings from her garden for my yard. We have placed so many of her plants in our back yard garden that it looks like a carefully cultivated jungle in the summer. Of course the children like this as it gives them plenty of places to hide when they are playing.

We have grown the various flora and fauna so that there are quiet arbors of solitude for anyone who wishes to enjoy nature with peace and tranquility. I intend to put in a small pond that crosses the garden via a little stream that ends in another pond this year. I have to figure out how to heat it so I can add some Koi to it as well. I might just put up a green house and have it connect to there as well so that I can move the Koi during the winter months so they do not freeze. I would of course double glaze those windows to keep the heat in.

Warmer

The temperature has gone up for a change and I am very happy about that. Now if it would just stop raining every week so that the ground would dry out, then the kids would be happy. They need to go out and play and run to release some serious energy. We have been stuck in the house so much its pitiful. I can smell spring in the air.

New gates

It is time for new baby gates. The old ones have fallen apart. I use them for pet gates as well as safety gates when there are little ones in the house. I frequently have visitors with small children and like to make sure the house is as baby proof as possible. You never know what they will get into and since my children are all five and up the necessity for the old baby proofing is long gone.

I even have one for the hearth on the fire place. I use this one the most,even with my own kids, especially during the winter when I have a fire going a lot. I love my fireplace and so do my children. We cut wood a lot so we can have a fire going. It helps to save money on heating during the winter months that normally run me over three hundred dollars a month or more. I know that as soon as I don’t need them anymore for my kids and the friends and neighbors, I will have grandchildren to use them for. I guess I will always use the safety gates no matter what.

Found it

I was looking for a new website hosting company for my cousins new site for his business. I have searched diligently for the best servers with the most competitive pricing. These can be difficult to find as there are so many to choose from. My cousin has had his own business for ten years, but had not really gotten into the internet advertising game until recently. He had a page made for him, but is not happy with his current hosting site. I promised to find him one with the latest technology, LiteSpeed Technology hosting on 8-core Xeon server.

This is one of the best hosting technologies around. I know that everyday technology advances and what was once the best is no more. Therefore, it is imperative to find a company that is constantly upgrading and creating newer better software. LiteSpeed Technology hosting on 8-core Xeon servers are definitely the best of the best to work with right now. I am sure that my cousin will be very happy with this new hosting company to work with. I searched long and hard to find exactly what he needed to make sure his page is successful. After all, I want only the best for my cousin.

So comfy

I have fallen in love with sheep skin. My mom bought me sheepskin rugs for the living room of my house. I put it directly in front of the fire place. I had been looking forever for some kind of comfy rug to go there for those romantic winter nights when my honey and I like to light a fire and relax in front of it with a glass of wine.

I loved them so much that I decided to buy some sheepskin products for our vehicles. The sheepskin seat covers look awesome and feel delicious when you slid into the car and sit on them. I really like that when it is cold out, because the leather seats are really cold when you first get into the car. This way, I don’t totally freeze before the car heater warms up. The kids really like it as well because they were constantly complaining about cold seats. Now we never have to worry about that again. If you have never tried them, you don’t know what you are missing.

Oh boy

My brother in law bought a f450 truck yesterday and it didn’t last twenty four hours before it broke down. He is so not happy right now. AAA doesn’t have a truck large enough to tow his truck back to his house and now the guys are all trying to tow it with a duelly that my brother in law still has, that is for sale. Although I am not sure if he is going to sell it now after the new one broke down. I hope it all works out.

More doctor appointments

Well now I have two doctors appointments for this week. One for each of the boys. I had to go get the little guy from school because he spiked a fever while there. Finally just decided to bite the bullet and make him an appointment because every other day he is running a fever. I have him laying down right now watching TV in his room. The Tylenol I gave him has taken effect and the fever is down, but you can tell he still feels poorly. grrrrr

Aunt Phyllis

Well my Aunt Phyllis is looking for Toronto contractors to help do some remodeling on her house. Since she and my Uncle split up a few years ago, the house has been steadily falling apart on her without a man to help with repairs. The Toronto kitchen contractors can remodel her kitchen entirely instead of having a handy man do repairs. I think it is a great idea so that she doesn’t have to worry about constantly having someone come fix stuff for her.

She has also had a few problems in her bathroom, so has decided to redo it as well. The Toronto bathroom contractors she found have given her a good price on it, with a whole new bathroom as well. Her new bathroom will include a shower stall instead of a tub, with rails so she doesn’t fall. Since she is getting older she is worried that one day she might have this problem, so is preparing ahead of time. I feel much better with this knowledge, as the family has worried about her being up there with no other family around. She has friends, but it is not the same. This is a very good thing.

Home

Just got home from taking my youngest child to school at the Head Start program. The weather is really nasty out there, but at least it is not freezing as well. It is just very rainy outside. He was not happy about the rain because that means he can’t play on the playground today at school. He loves that playground and has so much fun at preschool. I am so happy that he is finally willing to go to school now. He used to scream when I had to put him in day care, but not anymore. What a good boy he is.

Address

So i have decided on the address plaques for the outside of the house. They are really quit distinguished looking. I like the bronze and black coloring and it will look amazing on my house. An address plaque goes on the front of your house and has your house number and street name on it. You never have to worry about anyone not being able to find your house because the numbers aren’t there or the mailbox numbers have faded.

My address sign is now the envy of my street. Three of my neighbors stopped to ask me where I got it and how much it cost. I love it when my home is admired by the neighbors. It really makes a person feel good to know that their hard work has paid off. I work really hard on keeping my home looking nice too. Saturday’s are yard day for the kids and I. We always have some kind of project going on and really enjoy the time we spend together doing it.
