House Cleaning Services

Something that would make a good gift for anyone who is left responsible for the cleaning and the upkeep in their residence, would be to have a professional house cleaning service come in to have a good cleaning. It could be a once time luxury or for any length of time that the gift giver decides upon and how much money they want to invest.

I mean let’s face it, at some point in your life there are gift giving occasions that something like this would be appropriate and appreciated. Although I have a feeling that if I were to do something like this that the person would think that I thought that she wasn’t a good house keeper!

I myself wouldn’t have a problem with the other woman house cleaning services. In fact I would welcome it. It sure is better than getting more body lotions and oils that seem to find their way to me a lot. I have more lotions and potions that I would or could ever use in one lifetime. Those gifts end up being re-gifted to some other sucker, more often than not!

Plush Amplifiers

When I hear the word plush I think of something that is extremely pricey. So when I found out that I could buy plush amplifier at musicians friend for less than $50, I was excited.  I really can’t afford a whole lot for numerous birthday presents that are up and coming in the month of September. The month of September and the month of March are chalk full of birthdays and anniversaries. As much as I try and budget for these extremely popular celebrations that require a gift there never seems to be enough to spread around as I would like it to.

Even $50 bucks is a bit more than I would like to spend on this particular gift for this particular family member, but I know how much he has been wanting one and I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he opens it up and realizes just what it is!

Online Brochure Printing

Last year was a brand new beginning for my oldest nephew after a long few years of absolute stress from school, and having a baby girl with his long time girlfriend since high school. Everything seemed like it wasn’t going to get any easier to my nephew, but one thing stuck in his mind to keep him going. He had always wanted to open up his own restaurant since he was a young boy, and worked hard through school to educate himself to do so.

His girlfriend was willing to help him do so at any cost and found her passion for interior and exterior decorating through out their relationship, so my nephew had asked her to be the one to decorate and design his restaurant. After they gathered enough money to put their plan into action, they started a hunt for a building to rent out or hopefully to rent to own, to open his restaurant in. It didn’t take long to find the perfect spot for them to do so in, and started right away with their plans.

After everything was set up and ready, they both came to me one evening while I was watching over their precious little girl, and had asked me for opinions on the cheapest but most effective way to get their menu out to everyone around their location. I had them sit at my computer with me to see what our options were, and after a long night of trying to compare options and prices we found brochure printing online, which is a perfect and not a costly way to get not only their menu out to everyone, but to get their new business name out and recognized.

Needless to say, that’s the route they took, and ever since their grand opening of their restaurant, their business has been booming. I’m glad that everything they worked hard for, is really taking off like no one ever expected, and I am so happy to lend a helping hand to them to help them provide for their beautiful little family.

Summer Shopping With My Daughter

Today I went to try to find some new clothes for this upcoming summer for not only me, but for the entire family. My daughter is a fashion fanatic so I had her come with me to help pick out some nice things for everyone. She went crazy around every store in the mall and had a blast picking out outfits. She very much so surprised me with how she shopped and how much she is like me in many ways I never noticed before. She not only has great taste in clothes, but she shops with her head to where she keeps track of how much money there is to spend and how much she tries to save as much as possible in the process.

Pretty much to sum it all up she is a bargain shopper with a great attitude about it. Many people dread going shopping and spending money on a bunch of clothes that will probably be thrown out by the following year, but we had a great time together as mother and daughter just shopping, talking and laughing about every little thing. Well we had gotten home after hours of shopping, and everyone tried on their new outfits and loved every piece we had picked out. I am so happy that I got to spend time with my daughter and also learned about her personality along the way, I’m hoping to do this more often with her in the future, I enjoy every moment with my family. We are now ready for the summer and ready to look great during the season and cant wait to show off our new clothes to our friends and family.

Starting An Online Business

A few months ago my oldest daughter and I were talking about possibly creating our own online printing business and decided to give it a go. Her husband had said he also wanted to be apart of it, so we waited until he had gotten back from his business trip to discuss our options and our plans with him, so we were all on the same page.  When he finally had gotten back from his business trip, we had all gotten together to discuss what we had in mind.

A problem we had was how to start an online business and how to customize it to fit our styles, wants and needs. My daughters husband jumped on the net to look around for help to do just that, and not too long after starting his search he found the perfect solution for our problem. Thankfully it didn’t take long at all to start the process of web 2 print solutions, and found that the site offers more than we could ever ask for, and our business took off right away.

Our site has brought so much business, its unbelievable and exhilarating to all three of us. We couldn’t be any happier and couldn’t of asked for better help at such a great price we just couldn’t turn our heads on. We recommend anyone who wants to customize their own web page for their online printing business, to visit this awesome site, and the extraordinary people who are behind it. You will not regret it, and you will be impressed with all the options you have to create your own online printing business as we are.

Friends and Music

An best friend of mine I went to school with through out middle and high school, came to visit us last summer and we had a blast reconnecting after so many years. We haven’t been able to see each other as frequently as we used to due to us moving to different states and both having families. She also has a daughter that is around my daughter age, who came along with her to visit us.

During their visit we talked about so many things, but one thing that got us had all of our interests is playing the guitar. Back in high school my friend and I played together after learning how to play by her brother and friends, that were in a garage band. Its the one thing that brought us closer over the years and now has brought not only us but our daughters closer together.

After a night of playing together, my friend had mentioned she was looking for a Shadow Sonic Tuner For Acoustic Guitar Soundhole for her guitar. I had one but it was the only one I had, so after they had gone to bed, I jumped on the net to see if I could find any deals for shadow pickups, and in no time I had found the best site to find a Shadow Sonic Tuner For Acoustic Guitar Soundhole for her, without breaking my wallet.

When arrived at my home, I quickly wrapped it up and handed it to my friend that night as a “I miss my best friend present” and she tore it open and was stunned to see exactly what shes been trying to find. Im glad I could put an even bigger smile on my best friends face.

Pool Heaters, A Great Idea

Last fall my hubby knew my birthday was coming up and he wanted to do something extreme that I have been wanting for the last 15 years we have been together. His plan was to make that it happen by installing an in-ground pool in our backyard with a hot tub. I unfortunately had a business trip I had to go to right before my birthday, but it ended up working out perfectly for my hubby’s surprise plans.

When I had left after taking our daughter to her grandparents house, he jumped on the opportunity to install an in-ground pool while I was on a business trip for 2 weeks. When I had arrived home, hubby wouldn’t let me even come close to the backside of the house so I couldn’t see what was back there. The next morning after we picked our daughter up he escorted us to the backyard with his hands covering my eyes and counted to three, when his hands dropped I couldn’t have been more surprised, impressed and so excited at the same time.

I have been so excited to finally go out to the back yard and take a dip in our own in-ground pool since last fall when my hubby installed it. We have been getting it ready for this upcoming summer and we just finished cleaning it last week and are now starting to talk about the possibility of a hot tub as well, but came to the conclusion that we simply couldn’t afford it.

Hubby had a clever idea for us to search on the net for pool heaters and we took an a beautiful spring evening to search for one for or pool. We came across a site that offers raypak pool heaters at an awesome price and it didn’t take log at all for us to find the perfect one for our pool. When it arrived, only 3 days later, hubby and a few of our friends had gathered in the backyard to install our new pool heater, and we now can enjoy our pool even on chilly days and/or evenings with no worries. Life is good.

Heating For Our Outdoor Patio

Hubby has been working real hard the past few years in order for us to have a quality outdoor patio.  We really do enjoy being outside as much as possible in the warm weather months.  Our garden keeps getting bigger and bigger each year which requires a lot of work, so it is nice to be able to kick back when the sun starts going down.  Sometimes it does get a bit chilly so I have been contemplating on purchasing an outdoor patio heater, but I want one that looks nice along with our other things that Hubby has put together.

I have been seeing a few Bistro Table Patio Heaters that I think would suit us just fine, seems they run on either propane or LP, and I love the ones with the hammered bronze effect.  The idea of being able to use the table top is an awesome feature.  Guess I’ll have to run it all by Hubby before ordering it, just in case…….. hey he has been talking about checking out some gas garage heaters also.

An Ideal Birthday Idea For Hubby

Hubby has a birthday coming up in a few weeks and I was thinking of how is back is always giving him such trouble.  I seem to spend a good amount of time rubbing his back for him and I have to admit that it would be a relief not to spend so munch of my time on his aches and pains so that I can deal with my own issues, mainly menopause, ugh..

I’ve been told by several people of a company that sells the Human Touch Quality Massage Chairs, these chairs are said to replicate the proven techniques used by professional massage therapists and chiropractors and are great in providing back pain relief which Hubby desperately wants and needs on a daily and nightly basis.

This company uses the most advanced robotic massage technology and systems in their massage chairs and I like the fact that it is a whole chair, not just a pad that you put on top of your chair or couch to simulate the hands and techniques of full body massage like the expert massage professionals.

 Massage Chairs really looks like something Hubby would really enjoy and use, and maybe even share with me at times.

South African Hunting Adventures Anyone

How about we pack up and head out for a really cool once in a lifetime adventure and try our hand in hunting big game in Africa.  My brother and his buddies went a few years back and he highly recommends using T. Jeffrey Safari Company, LLC a full time, full service, hunting and sport fishing consultancy.

I went online and see that they have a great website that offers big game hunting safari trips to Africa.  They can help arrange a hunt here in North America but if you are going to do it, might as well do it right and they offer such bargains for several traditional African Hunting safaris as well as numerous Namibia safari hunting trip packages that are all-inclusive, in the Southern part of Africa.

The variety of programs that they have to offer is amazing, everything you ever need is there in order to get your trip up and going.  I am amazed that there are so many women into this type of hunting such big game as leopard, cape buffalo, lion, elephant and rhinoceros.  So I guess if they can do it there is no reason that I can’t give it try, but I don’t want to go by myself that is for sure.
