Spring Storms

This is the time of year when spring storms are just around the corner. I remember a bad storm that hit here one February. We had ferocious winds that blew two of our huge trees over onto our house. Local people saw funnel clouds but on TV they said it was straight line winds. Whatever it was, I’m so thankful that we had good insurance to cover the damage done to our roof.

Insurance is so important, and that’s why it’s important to compare home owners insurance policies. InsureLog.com lets you do just that. They offer side by side comparisons of policies and companies so you know that you are getting the best rate possible.

Trendy Maternity Fashions

I think pregnant women look so cute. Our daughter had some darling maternity clothes, and she just looked precious in them. Of course, she’s precious anyway! There are so many cute maternity clothes available nowadays, and just because someone is pregnant doesn’t mean they can’t be trendy. If you’re looking for some cute and trendy maternity clothes, then I recommend checking out Kiki’s Fashions Maternity.  They’re having a 20% off sale through Feb. 11 on maternity clothes plus they have free shipping on orders over $75.  They really do have cute clothes, and their prices are great.

Green…the Trend for Spring Wardrobes

I just read Meg’s post that the “in color” for spring is going to be green, followed by orange for a close second. So the spring trends are seeing green. And any color of green will work. It doesn’t have to be a specific shade.  I know I have a couple of green T-shirts (one cute lime green one that I bought after Christmas for 75% off), a long-sleeved lime green mock turtleneck top, and a sea green outfit that “C” gave me that I didn’t wear last spring.  I’m not sure why because I often get a compliment on the color of it.  I need to go look and see what else I have hanging in my closet.  🙂

Lithium Batteries

Most families nowadays have so many things that use a lithium battery. Cameras and camcorders use them, and I think it’s always good to have a backup battery in case a battery runs out of power during a “Kodak moment.” If you’re needing a new battery, East Coast Photo has a newly revised “Battery Finder” where you can search for the battery you need, an expanded on-line catalog where you can also find new and innovative tools, and they have knowledgeable staff and competitive pricing.

Our Recent Visit

Last week, we took a day trip on Monday, which was Martin Luther King’s holiday, and we went to see our daughter (C), s-i-l, and Baby J. We had a wonderful time and packed so much into that one day. We all got to eat lunch together, and then after our s-i-l headed back to work, we went up to see our daughter’s new office, met with the realtor to see inside our daughter and s-i-l’s house they are in the process of buying, and then we headed to Target. (C and I love to go to Target and there doesn’t have to be any specific reason to go there.) Later, we went and had Mexican food for supper…a must! 🙂

The highlight of the trip was getting to see Baby J laugh. Those of you who have been around babies know how precious it is when a baby gets to the stage where he laughs at anything he thinks is funny. Well, Baby J thought it was so funny when I sang “Doo te doo” with his little songs on the CD. As you can tell, it doesn’t take much to entertain us. LOL

Home Theaters

We watched an Extreme Home Makeover episode not too long ago where a family had a child with extreme health problems. The problems were so severe that she had to be home schooled and rarely got out of the house. Her brother was home schooled, too. The house built for them on the show was so cool because it had a small home theater in the basement where their family and a few friends could “go see a movie.” I’m not sure what kind of home theater seating they had, but it was wonderful they could go to a movie and feel a little more normal.
