When remodeling a house, indoor lighting makes a big difference. Our daughter and her husband have replaced some of the lighting in their house they bought in February. They replaced the lighting in the dining room, kitchen, and hall bathroom. Replacing the outdated lighting gives their home an updated look and really makes a difference!
If you are looking to replace the lighting in your home, check out LightOutlet.com for great prices on top quality lighting with full warranties.
Lori, at A Cowboy’s Wife, has combined several of her blogs and has a great new look for her site. Would you like to know what Lori and I both have in common? We’re both Texas gals! Now I must admit that I don’t know much about ranching, but I enjoy reading about it and seeing the awesome pictures that Lori takes with her own camera. She is quite a photographer. If you’ve never been to her site, then I recommend checking it out for a lot of great information on blogging and other things and to get a little taste of Texas ranching life!
Herbs are popular for so many things nowadays. Not only are they used for cooking, but they’re also used for medicinal purposes, shampoos, facial moisturizers, etc. There is even an herbal acne treatment which is all natural. The great thing about herbs is that they are natural. Because of that, I would love to take a class on herbs and learn all about their different uses!
Car insurance is a must! So the best thing to do is to shop around and get the best price on car insurance you can find. Some people just go with the company that their parents use, but there are competitive prices out there that definitely make it worth the effort to check them out! Don’t just settle for any car insurance. Compare and find the best deal for your money.
I asked my mother-in-law to give some of her favorite tips from her 86 years of experience:
When she’s out shopping and it’s raining hard, she takes along a plastic bag so that she can put her wet umbrella in it when she goes inside a store. That way she doesn’t drip water on herself, the things she’s buying, and the merchandise in the store!
My mother-in-law arrived safely last Tuesday, and we’ve been having a wonderful time. I took her shopping on Wednesday and Thursday, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
On Friday evening, our daughter, s-i-l, and BABY J arrived. We had so much fun over the weekend!
Saturday, we had girl’s time out. I took my m-i-l and daughter to this really neat tea room, and my m-i-l treated us to lunch. We shopped some while we were out, of course, and then headed home to check on the guys.
Sunday, we went to church and then all went out to lunch. There were eight of us in all including our s-i-l’s mother and sister.
After we got back home, we took a lot of “four generation” pictures. Then Baby J & family had to head back to their home.
Today, we’re taking my m-i-l out to our daughter and s-i-l’s to see their house they bought in February. It’s a two hour trip, so it won’t take too long to get there. We plan to have fun eating lunch at some cute little place, seeing the office where our daughter works and maybe seeing our s-i-l’s cool office, depending on how busy they are there. And, of course, we plan to get in lots of “Baby J” time!! 🙂
#1. What snacks do you eat at the movies? Do you buy them there or bring your own?
We don’t go to the movies much. When we do, we usually eat first and we’re not hungry for snacks.
#2. What’s your favorite food movie, or movie that shows a lot of food?
Hmmm…I can’t think of one.
#3. What food or meal do you wish was available at the movies and why?
I wish they had plain popcorn drizzled with EVOO.
#4. What’s your most favorite way to make popcorn? Hot, cold, buttered, air, microwave, chocolate, caramel, you get it.
We have a hot air popcorn popper that we use all the time. Recently we started buying organic popcorn in the bulk products at Central Market. (for $1.19/pound) We drizzle it with EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil) and then salt it with sea salt. So yummy!!
When my mother was in the last few years of her life, there were many medical bills. She never really had to go to the doctor much at all until she reached her late seventies. I know for a fact that her wonderful medicare insurance policy paid off, and she had very little out-of-pocket medical expenditures. If you don’t have medicare insurance, then I would suggest checking and researching to find a good policy.
My dear, 86 year old mother-in-law flew to Texas today to spend a week with us. (She doesn’t look or act 86!) We’ve already made a shopping list of places that she doesn’t have in her little town. She wants to go to Tuesday Morning, Macy’s, Dillards, Super-Target, and Pier One.
We had supper tonight at Black Eyed Pea, one of her favorite restaurants. She also wants to go to Red Lobster as well as a couple of cute tea rooms.
And best of all…our daughter, s-i-l, and BABY J are planning to come this weekend! This will be the first time my m-i-l has gotten to see her great-grandson in person, and he’s nearly 10 months old. We are all excited about this little family reunion…such a blessing to be able to all get together.
Of course, we’ll have to take lots of “four generation” pictures! 🙂
It’s that time of year to get out the luggage for vacations and weekend get-aways. I found a piece of luggage that would be perfect for Baby J when he’s older and is responsible for his own suitcase. It has a picture of Mickey Mouse on the front of it and has rollers so he could pull his own suitcase. I can just picture our precious little grandson coming to visit grandma and grandpa with his suitcase!
Our daughter, “C,” and her husband definitely like the modern contemporary look. They would really like the dining room set pictured on the left. In fact, they have a dining room set that looks similar to the one pictured and have added several contemporary features to their house.
If you’re looking for new furniture, Spacify carries dining room furniture as well as other furniture that is modern and contemporary.
What is CPM? As an educator, I don’t know much about cpm, Corporate Performance Management. I do know the value of having software that enhances a company’s efficiency, though. As I’ve mentioned before, I work at a flower shop the weeks before Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and sometimes Christmas. One thing the owners of the flower shop did this year was to computerize their orders, wire-outs, wire-ins, enclosure cards, etc. That makes things much more efficient!
Back to the idea of CPM, PROPHIX Software was the recipient of the 2007 Innovative Solution Award for Corporate Performance Management. The judges chose the companies they felt had unique software solutions, a new application of traditional software, and worked towards being a great business value. There were 89 submissions received. Congratulations PROPHIX!
