A New Home Town for My Aunt in the Carolina’s

It used to be that people were flocking to Florida for the sunny weather. Then they started heading out west to Arizona and New Mexico, but it appears that the Carolina’s are the place to go now a days. I keep running into people that have moved there or about to or visiting someone that has moved there. North and South Carolina are both a great place to live.

My Aunt Betty just announced that she is planning on heading south and has been looking at Lexington SC Homes For Sale online at columbiascrealestatesales.com. It is a beautiful area and I’m sure she will love living there. The homes are affordable and easily accessible to water, which is a plus since my aunt grew up on the water and wouldn’t want to be far from a body of water. I can’t wait to visit her and see what all is around her new hometown.

Crazy how the family just seems to keep moving farther and farther away over the years. As much as I try to keep positive about the whole ordeal, it really does break my heart.

Fun With Photos

I’ve always been a bit leery of sites that offer you to make funny pictures of the photos that we all have stored on our PC. I’ve been using the computer and the Internet for many a years, but I have my strong points and my weaknesses as well and photos are one of my weaknesses. I mean I know how to take a picture, but then having to download it to my PC is another story, I can never find the right cable and then to top it all of with I can’t seem to figure out where the best place to download the buggers into. Something so simple can really mess with my mind, silly but true.

Anyway, once I’ve downloaded them they usually stay right there, but since my good friend Judy came over last night and showed me a great website that allows you to create funny pictures from your photos store on your computer’s hard drive, I think that I finally have the whole thing figured out and under control. I’ve got a lot of great pictures that have been sent to me throughout the years and I came up with one that was taken of me a few years back at an office party that I decided to play around with and I came up with a few fun photo effects that I thought were playful enough to continue messing with!

Promotions for Online Shoppers

I was telling my sister how fed up I have become with the way that my laptop has been acting. It has seen better days and I’m just not willing to sink any more money into at this point. A newer one would be so nice but I’m leery of spending any amount of money these days with the economy in the toilet the way it is these days.  I’m worried about my cash flow. She suggested that I take a look around online and see what deals can be found.

One of her favorite sites that she uses any time she considers purchasing anything online is bestonlinecoupons.com, they have a large variety of coupon codes, free shipping offers, special promotions galore for today’s online shoppers. So I took her up on her suggestion and have found several great deals on computers that I am considering right now.

They have listed several Dell discount coupons and Newegg promo codes that sound very tempting. I’m surprised at the numerous merchants like Best Buy and Office Depot to name a few that are advertising and providing links for some serious savings. I hate going shopping, out in the real world, so finding deals for online shoppers is perfect for someone like me and a great way to go.

Carpet Cleaning and More

My house was an absolute mess, a complete disaster last spring. I couldn’t take it anymore after my daughters friend came to stay with us for a weekend, and had made a comment to my daughter about how much of a wreck our house looked. It hit me that it was time to give my home a deep cleaning. So I scurried around a few local store for cleaning products to use around the house, took them home and started my cleaning spree.

My daughter even pitched in, and we had gotten a ton done. It just didn’t seem to be enough, the air in our home smelt a bit musty and the carpets still had stains on them from spills and accidents from years prior. I spent a night to myself in the house one night, while my daughter went to stay with a friend, and did some searching n the net for any good deals I could come by to have my carpet cleaned, deep cleaned. I came across a site that offers carpet cleaning for a great price that I couldn’t say no to.

When the carpet was done, I invited old friends and relatives over to enjoy a nice afternoon gathering n our newly felt home. We got so many compliments about how nice our home looked and smelled. I owe to carpet cleaning holly springs nc, I couldn’t have done a better job myself, they really made the difference.

Checking Out The Wind Instruments

Things with my daughter at school have been crazy due to after school activities, sports, or her friends events. When she isn’t busy doing any of those things, she is sitting in her room watching TV. Which is something Id rather her not waste her time doing so I had recently signed her up at school to play an instrument with one of her very close friends in hopes that it would keep her busy enough to keep her away from the TV, and to also get her to learn and appreciate music in a whole new light.

They class requires the student to purchase their own instrument that they are interested in learning how to pay. I had a night all to myself while she was over at a friends house for the night, so I took advantage of it to search around for any wind instruments I think she would enjoy playing. I found a neat site that offers just that in no time. I ordered it immediately due to its unbelievable price, and when I had showed up my daughter had gotten home just an hour after and she was so excited to try it out before she went to class to show it to her teacher.

She sounded like a natural, and ever since she has learned how to play a few select songs for school, she has been on it non stop. I couldn’t be any happier to finally have found something she can enjoy and use her time to learn the beauty of music she can make.

Virtual Yard Sales

The last time I held a yard sale I swore that I would never, ever do that again and by golly I meant it. There is so much time and work involved in pulling off a good prosperous yard sale, garage sale, lawn sale, moving sale, or what ever you want to call the reselling of your unwanted personal items to the general public.

Just collecting the stuff, cleaning and fixing what needs to be done in order to get $ for it and then having to figure out what price to charge and put a price tag on each and every piece of merchandise is enough to through me over the edge. You have to be careful on what type of price tag to use and where to put it in order to not damage the item and reduce the value just because the placement of the right type of price tag wasn’t thought out. I know I am a bit OCD when it comes to things like that but we all have our quirks right?

Dealing with the public is another issue. The early birds that come to get the best deal are a real pain in the neck. All you want to do is get your stuff out there and set up and you have these people digging around and asking you questions! And then there is the clean up and figuring out where to put all the stuff you didn’t sell, ugh.

It’s no wonder more people are turning to the Internet for deals at various virtual yard sales and other websites other than eBay and Craigslist.

Panton Chairs

After I wrote my last post that was suggesting the use of the now popular Panton Chairs – I started thinking that I should take a look at what types of Panton Chairs and other furniture  are available today. I found some wonderful websites and gained a good amount of knowledge about this space aged look type of chair. I would love to try one out and see how comfortable they are. I love the look, but with furniture I must insist on sitting on it, if that is what it was intended to be used for!

These are so abstract and the colors (and believe me there are plenty of other colors available as well) are so brilliant. They just seem to cheer me up. Check out and tell me what you think about these chairs and/or any of the other wonder products that they have there that have me so excited.

Toddler Room: Panton Chair, Toys and More

Do you have a kid who is starting to learn how to play games? Do you plan on building a playroom just for him to enjoy? Are you having problems on what to place inside this room once it is finished? If your answer to all these questions is a resounding yes, then you should continue reading.

In any type of room, proper furniture and fixtures should be placed to add life and beauty to the room. The same is the case when developing a toddler’s room for your child or children. Here are some of the objects which should be present inside the room:

  • Toys – These things should always be present inside the playroom. Aside from the fact that they are the primary entertainment of your kids, they also keep them busy while you are doing the dishes or ironing the clothes. However, you have to make sure that you only place those toys which have been certified safe for children.
  • Coloring materials – According to research, there are two main activities which children do inside a playroom – play or color. Once they get tired of playing, they will look for another activity that looks fun but does not require as much energy as playing does.
  • Books – If your child has already reached five or six years old, it would greatly help him if you would include some educational books to entertain him. Make sure to spend some quality time with him every once in a while.
  • Panton chair – A room would not be complete without a decent and quality piece of furniture that your kids can sit on. This particular chair is not only safe, but also comes in different colors.
  • Mat – A playing mat or foam is vital in any playroom. If possible, it should cover the entire floor area of the room to keep your kids away from injuries due to excessive playing.
  • Air conditioner – Of course, you would want your child to feel comfortable whenever he goes to the playroom. If this is not possible, two electric fans would do.
  • Miniature playground – This is definitely not a requirement, but if you can afford it, then make sure you provide it. You may place a small seesaw, swing, and slide inside the room to keep your child and his friends busy.

These are just some of the objects, things and pieces of furniture which you should include inside your child’s playroom the moment it is finished. Among all these factors, the Panton chair may be one of the most crucial. Getting a sturdy and stable chair is very important to avoid accidents and other untoward incidents.

This specific chair design has been developed several decades ago, yet it has still managed to become popular in this time and age. Sporting a future and space theme, the Panton chair is a chair that will definitely get the attention of kids. And because it has a unibody design, you would not need to worry about creaking parts and features which get damaged easily.

Gift Cards!!!

I really love how gift cards have become so popular for people to use and receive as presents these days. I managed to receive a nice little bundle of them this year and look forward to using them for things that I find and want. I love the challenge of researching and comparing products online. It beats the heck out of going out and dealing with all the issues that go along with shopping and believe me I have a lot of issues with shopping. I’ve become so spoiled by the Internet that I just don’t see the need to go out when I can stay in and get much better deals, better service and a whole lot bigger selection online.

I have a few items that I will be looking into soon, some new linens and bedding for my new mattress is definitely in order. I’ve been waiting for after Christmas see what selections are reduced. From Clothes to Home Furnishings and Decor, there are just a massive amount of savings to be found with having Internet access, you gotta love it! I use ShopWiki.com a lot and would urge anyone into checking them out when venturing out there.

Flat Panel Stands

Hubby and I had recently gotten married and have finally moved into a home we can call our own. We have all of the furniture, pictures and décor up, but are lacking on flat panel stands for our new TV’s we have accumulated over the last couple years together, and a wall mount for my daughter’s TV. A few family members have offered to give us a table or something nice to put them on, but we want to buy a new mount and stands.

I searched throughout all the stores around town to compare prices but didn’t find anything that fits our taste or our budget. I came to the conclusion that I might be able to find something I’m looking for a little easier online. I took a night to search around the net and it didn’t take me long to find some awesome deals for some outstanding stands and mounts for our TV’s at a unbelievably great price.

I ordered 2 flat panel stands and one wall mount, and shipping was absolutely free! When they arrived at our home, we couldn’t have been any happier to set them up and finally put our TV’s to good use. We are all very thrilled to have home completely done up and ready for us to spend a great deal of time together in and enjoy all the years ahead.
