Dog Person?

Guest post from: Winston Stewart

I don’t know what I was thinking imagining I was some kind of dog person but I got one anyway, and that turned into two because I was afraid he was lonely and wanted to play with a friend. It’s literally like having children and I can’t imagine why people do this to themselves! I actually had to move to a new, bigger apartment because these things practically need as much room as people and you know, there’s nothing wrong with that since I got more space, too. I found a direct TV package that worked and got a security alarm since I’m a little farther out of town than I was before. I actually talked to my boss about working from home a couple days a week, too, and that’s been going really well. I guess I’m adjusting to being a dog owner but I honestly had no idea it was going to be so hard to change my life around for these dogs. Who would have thought they’d need me so badly!

It's Been 3 Years

Today is our 3 years wedding anniversary. My husband and I had a wonderful day today at the park with our little angel. We decided to spend time with our daughter during our anniversary. We just really think that it is more fun to celebrate it as family. There's nothing more memorable and happier than doing fun things with our love ones. We had a reservation at a restaurant but I canceled it last night. We thought that it won't be that fun without our little princess with us. Anyhow, we are married for 3 years now but we have known each other for more than 4 years. We are both very happy and in love than ever. We are so lucky and thankful for everything that we have especially our daughter who is now 2 years old.

A Small Garden Would Be Nice

My husband and I are now checking out houses so whenever we found the perfect one that we really like we going to go for it. We already looked at two houses but we didn’t like them. Well, the first one was fine but the problem was the tiles. The second one that we just saw today was just too much repairs to make. We will keep on checking because we are decided to buy a house before this year ends, not early next year as I’ve mentioned before. Anyway, there are lots of houses that I’ve seen online and I noticed that some of them have garden arbors. I honestly like it and it makes me want to have arbor in our next house. It would be nice to have a small garden in our backyard. I am pretty sure that an arbor will look wonderful in the garden. I haven’t seen arbors in person yet. Maybe I did but I can’t remember. I know that arbors will add beauty to a garden and to the house too. I think there are wooden arbors that we can buy online so if ever I will decide to have it in our new house, I know where to look.

What A Night!

We had a pretty bad night last night especially Mackenzie because she had a runny and stuffy nose. She keeps waking up every couple of minutes coz she couldn't breath. I had to put saline drops and suction her nose twice just to take out the mucus from her nose. It helped after suctioning but after a while she couldn't breath again. I also rub some vicks at her chest and put a little bit outside her nose. She have it still the whole day today while we went grocery shopping as our usual Saturday event. I was a bit worried that she will have the same problem again tonight and will wake up most of the night so I turned on the vicks vaporizer and I guess it's working. She is sleeping now and can breath fine. Hopefully she will sleep through the night so me and my husband can sleep too. I just hate to see my baby not feeling well. All I want is to see her happy always.

Enclosed Bulletin Boards

It’s going to be our 3rd year wedding anniversary this coming Sunday and I am still not sure what to give to my dear husband. I might get him enclosed fabric bulletin boards since it is something that he uses everyday. My husband will probably like it because he can use it for sure. I know he got enclosed cork bulletin boards at his office so I am thinking of getting the enclosed fabric bulletin board this time. One reason why he’s going to like the enclosed bulletin boards is that our daughter can’t just ruin what’s on it because the important details and things are inside and can’t be touch by her. 
 
My husband has his own home office and also the real work office so it will then be up to him where he wants to put the enclosed bulletin board. There are other things that I might get for my husband so I really need to think about it because I know he needs all of them. I just can’t buy all and I have to decide which one is the most important and he really needs so bad. I will think about it tonight and I will share here what I will decide to buy for him.

Do You Love To Collect Art Prints?

There are so many people around the globe who loves to collect arts and designs of the very well-known artists like shepard fairey. When I first saw his art prints, I was so amazed and I think that his pieces are just wonderful. I would like to have collections of shepard fairey art if I could. Though it sounds impossible to happen right now but maybe one day it will happen. It is not a cheap type of collections so not everyone can have them. People who are collectors and who can afford to purchase the art like obeygiant prints are lucky.

I have been browsing online at shepard fairey art prints earlier today. Now I am hoping that at least I could see them in person. It would really make me happy. For now, I will just keep looking at the arts. Hopefully, there will be an art exhibit of shepard fairey's art and designs here where I live one of these days so I will have a chance to see his masterpieces personally.

Kids Lockers

Having kids lockers at school and even at home can make the room looks nice and well organize. I like it very much when everything is in the right place. Who wouldn’t like it, right? I guess everyone does unless those people who really are not normal and doesn’t care if their place looks organize. When I was in grade school, we didn’t have childrens lockers. So our things are every in the room and it really looks messy. There is no place where we can put our raincoats, umbrellas and our backpacks. We just have them with us beside our desk or we put them somewhere inside the room. Hopefully this time, there are lockers for kids at my grade school then. It will help all the kids put their personal belongings in place. Most of my nieces and nephews are studying at the same grade school where I graduated. It is just a walking distance from our house at the province. I’m going to ask one of them whenever I talk to them on the phone if the school rooms have already lockers.

Chicken Afritada

The other day I was thinking of what food I can eat for my lunch, I decided to cook chicken afritada. Luckily I still have one more pack of Mama Sita Afritada mix and when I opened the freezer I saw breast chicken and some wings. It was an easy recipe since it is printed at the back of the Mama Sita Afritada mix. My afritada turned out very yummy. I ate the wings while my husband ate the breast because he doesn't like to eat chicken with bones in it. Next time I will go to the Asian Market, I will surely buy lots of the mixes. I tried to cook the fried chicken with the Mama Sita mix also and I liked it so I will buy more too.

Composter

Sometimes I'm thinking of making my own organic fertilizer. It would be free and I will never need to buy fertilizer every time I plant flowers.  I just need to have a composter and then I can start making my free organic fertilizer. I love to plant flowers but lately I got lazy to water my flowers. The water system in our front yard where I always plant my flowers aren't working. It's not that I am lazy really, it is the hotness outside that made me stopped watering my flowers.

We Just Hired A Pool Service Company Again

Our swimming pool wasn’t working perfectly for couple of months now. There's always something wrong going on. It's because we tried to save money and stopped having a pool service every week. At the end, we didn't save because we ended up spending a lot just to make it work again. So we haven’t used it for quite a while now. It just happened at the wrong time because it’s during summer. We we’re supposed to enjoy our swimming pool for couple more times before we will move next year. But unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to enjoy it for the last time. We just rehire a pool service company to fix our pool and right now it is draining. The guy will come back first thing in the morning tomorrow to continue fixing our pool. He has to make it working well again for the renter next year or probably the next house owner. I and my husband are not decided yet on what to do with this house. Either have this house for rent or for sale but for sure it’s not going to be foreclosed. Luckily this house holds it's value and the price never goes down and the price still higher than we owe to the back. So it's a very good thing. 

Anyway, our swimming pool is going to be perfectly working again very soon. The pool service will be weekly again like before but sad to say we can’t swim anymore. I guess the water is now starting to get cold. We can still turn on the water heater but I don’t think we will go swimming still. We might have to look for winter pool covers, but we need to ask our pool service guy first if we need to buy one. I am starting to miss our swimming pool because we will not buy a house with swimming pool for now for the safety of our daughter. We can’t afford to take a chance of putting her to risk. Swimming pool is fun to have but our daughter’s safety is more important.

No Workout For 2 Nights Now

Yesterday night I wasn't able to workout with my husband because we forgot to remove Mackenzie's car seat at her GrandMa's car. Last Sunday we went grocery shopping with mom and we forgot the car seat at her car. Guess what? Tonight no workout for me again. Why? It's because we forgot the car seat at her car again. It feels weird not being at the gym this time of the day. We're normally at the gym during this time every week nights. Nways, tonight as soon as my mother-in-law gets home, I will make sure to get the car seat right away and put it where we usually put it. I just can't afford to miss workout again tomorrow night. It's kick boxing class tomorrow night and I want to be in the class. I am loving the regular exercise at the gym and doing my zumba here at home most of the days. It feels good at the end of the day that I'm able to exercise and I am enjoying it.

I'll be home for Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner and it’s time to wrap up some presents for our love ones. This year I’m not going to send a package of presents to our family in Philippines but instead, we’re going to put them in our luggage when we go home this coming Christmas. I have been saving things to wrap for each one in the family and I will probably bring some chocolates. Well, I have to bring for sure because everybody loves chocolates and everyone will be asking for it. Last year, I sent so many chocolates and they were so happy when they opened the box. All of them have chocolates and no one complained for not being able to eat. It made me happy and I made sure that all my brothers and sister’s family will have packs of assorted chocolates aside from their presents and some other stuffs. I love to give things to the people I love. I want to make my family happy always if I could. I am the kind of person who will give my single penny to people I care and love so much.

I Need A Laptop Cart

Are you planning to buy a laptop cart for your home or office use? It is a good idea to have a laptop cart so you can just roll it over to where you want to work at home. I’ve been thinking to buy a laptop cart lately. It’s going to be a very big help for me when I have to do something online and I can just roll the cart anywhere in the house. The laptop carts are ideal to places where there is no enough space for a computer desk. These rolling mobile laptop storage allow anyone to be productive anywhere they are able to use a laptop. It allows you to have a proper and steady area where everyone can work and be comfortable. Here at home, we have so much space but the reason why I would like to buy laptop cart is the mobility. I just hate when I use my laptop anywhere where there is no desk. I have no choice but to sit the laptop on my lap. It’s honestly uncomfortable and I hate when it starts to get hot, who wouldn’t be right? Anyhow, I am looking forward to buy a laptop cart one of these days.

Rain Water Barrels

Do you have rain barrels in your home? I don’t have rainbarrels here in my home but we used to have it back to my home country.  There’s always rainy season in the Philippines so making use of the rain water is very important. We always do rain harvesting and we use the water for almost anything that needs water like watering plants, washing the dishes and clothes and even use it for bath.

The rain water barrels are things that remind me of childhood. I remember that we had two rain barrels outside our house and every morning after eating my breakfast and brushing my teeth, I go directly there to take a bath. Each day I used to do it before going to school and I am missing those times. I would love to have rain water barrel here at home but since here in Arizona we don’t get enough rain each year, I won’t be able to use it. I know there are rainbarrels for sale at online stores so in case I would need one, I know where to get it.

Tired Today

It's not me who got tired today from our grocery shopping but my princess. We left home today at 11am and done the shopping for our weekly consumption at 4pm. Every week we go to lunch first (today we went to a Chinese Buffet), Costco, Walmart and Petsmart. After we're done with everything, we went home, unload all the groceries from the car and put all away. Since Mackenzie didn't take a nap today, she was exhausted and put her to bed at around 7pm. Hopefully she will sleep through the night. For now. I am going to wrap the presents for her birthday in a week from now since she's asleep early tonight.

Free YouTube Downloader

Do you like to download videos on YouTube? I download videos every once in a while but I am using my phone because when I use my laptop, it takes forever sometimes to be done. It makes me frustrated and so I stopped using my laptop when I download video on Youtube. I found a free YouTube downloader online and I am thinking of using it. I bet its going to be very fast to download videos. I read on their page that it is a lighting fast download speed. Those of you who uses YouTube to download videos frequently should try it. It can save you so much time instead of waiting minutes for your video download to be successful.

Roadside Assistance

If you own an RV, you should get a membership of a roadside assistance club. It is always a good idea to be prepare for the unexpected happenings. Whenever your RV will have problems while you are traveling with your family, you will have peace of mind. You know that you will get help from the roadside assistance. It is very helpful to have one. You have assurance that your RV will be taken care of as soon possible even if you are in the middle of nowhere. Me and my husband have experience it three times. Our car broke down and all we needed to do was call the Mercedes roadside assistance. We got help right away and our car was working again.

Are You Suffering From Acne?

Acne is one of the most embarrassing things that we could have. Unfortunately, there are so many people whose suffering acne. Acne is a skin condition that occurs due to the overproduction of oil by the oil glands of the skin. I am one of those lucky people who don’t experience very bad acne. Although I get pimple every now and then and has whiteheads around my nose, it doesn’t look that bad like other people has. In most cases, as I’ve noticed, teenagers are more likely to have acne. Some adults have acne but not as much as with teenagers. Resurgence is one of the many ways to get rid of those embarrassing acne due to hormonal aging. It is designed to help address the dehydration caused from the fluctuation in hormone levels.

If you are suffering from any type of acne whether you are teenager or adult, Murad has the right acne treatment that you need in order to clear it up. There are Murad Coupon Codes that can be found online whenever you are ready to purchase Murad products. Use coupons so you can save some dollars. You don’t have to pay the whole price, just use Murad coupons.

No Grocery Shopping Today

Every Saturday is our grocery shopping day but we didn't go today because my mother-in-law were busy. Tomorrow we will be doing the grocery shopping though. So since I am home the whole day, I decided to cook afritada for our lunch and then I cleaned the floor. After cleaning I did my zumba for an hour. I love to do the zumba as always because it is a fun exercise and I think it's working. My tummy is smaller now compared to 2 months ago. I wish I did the zumba before. Now I'm going to finish some task and maybe do some laundry later. Anyway, hope you guys are having a relaxing and fun weekend.

Looking For a Moving Company?

Are you moving soon? If so, then you should look for Removalists and pick which moving company you would like to hire. You know Removal Companies are everywhere but not all of them are can be trusted. I’m pretty sure you have heard about people’s moving experience that turned out bad. The reason could be that they didn’t investigate the company first and just hired without knowing the companies bad reputation. They could have avoided it if they took time researching knowing the company before hiring.

Moving has always been stressful but if you work with the right Removals you could have a great moving experience. It doesn’t matter if you are just moving to the same city or overseas as long as you hire a company that you can trust and do their job to make the moving experience of their clients unforgettable. Stress free and worry free moving is what I am talking about. Always make sure that you hire the right company especially f you are looking for an International Movers. Remember that it is going to be a long time shipping of your things and it needs extra care.

Edmonton Rentals

Are looking for an apartment or a house to rent at Edmonton, Alberta? Did you know that you can search properties online? You can find Edmonton rentals thru the net now which makes your property search easier. Can you imagine how hard it would be to search a house or an apartment without the online access to available rentals? The property search would take so long compared to looking online. Online search makes every search faster and easier. You can find houses and apartments and see pictures and other important information at a website like rentedmonton.com. They already helped millions of people finding the properties that they are looking for, from the search process thru the buying process. I like it so much that we can search for houses online. I browse houses every now and then just to get an idea for the preparation of our home buying by early next year. I can search and look hundreds of houses without even leaving my home. Isn’t that amazing?  I know that there are still many people who the old schools process which is going or checking houses to houses but I believe that majority are doing the online search nowadays.

Wedding Invitations

One of the most important thing to prepare when having a wedding is sending out wedding invitations. I stumbled upon a website where we can purchase a wedding invitations for this coming December at my home country. I was looking around and found the themes and styles that I like. I forgot that the wedding invitations will be included in the package that we choose. I'm glad I don't have to take care of it. Anyhow, if you ever need it, you can buy wedding invitations from invitationbox.com. By just browsing their website, I can assure you that you will find the invitation that you are looking for. If not, then for sure you will find one better than you are expecting to find. I would recommend visiting their page.

Walmart Coupons

If there is one store that I regularly visit every week, it's walmart. Since I arrived here in the US, walmart is the very first store that me and my mother-in-law visited for our grocery shopping. I like to buy our groceries at walmart, even many more other products. I think they are the cheapest retail store around. I use walmart coupons also to get better deals. Another thing that I like about walmart aside from their low prices, is that they match competitors coupons. To me walmart is the cheapest of them all.

At The Mall Today

 I took a photo while waiting for her dad at the mall

Mackenzie and I went to the mall in the afternoon today to meet a friend and her son. And also to buy some things to send to the Philippines for my family. So we were at the mall from 3pm til 7pm and we just walked around then my husband picked us up and we went directly to the gym. Since Mackenzie didn't take a nap today, she was cranky at the gym and she didn't want me leave her. I was just at the kids klub with her while waiting for my husband to finish working out. I didn't get a chance to exercise today.

Buy Your Mailboxes Online

Mailboxes play a very important role in our lives. It holds our mails and keeps it safe every single day. Can you imagine not having a mailbox? It’s just hard to imagine a house with no mailbox and here in the US every house has one. As we all know, there are many style, size, finish and material of mailboxes. We can buy them according to our taste and style that we like. Classic Mailboxes makes a great first impression by adding traditional style and timeless elegance to your home. It is a very classy type of mailbox and I really like how it looks. Gaines Mailboxes can sure add beauty to anyone’s home. It is one of the nicest styles of mailbox I have seen so far. Keystone Mailboxes are designed and built to last a lifetime; it can add a scripted style to your curbside and holds multiple days worth of mail. I would like to have a stylish mailbox because I really think it adds nice look to our home but unfortunately here we live, we have uniform mailboxes.

Are You Looking For Lockers?

Are you looking for residential or commercial lockers? If you do then you should visit lockers.com because they have all the lockers you can think of.  If you are looking for school lockers or employee lockers, they have them. Lockers are very important for safety keeping of our personal belongings. Without a locker, our things might be lost or stolen while we are away and that’s one thing that no one likes. Unfortunately, I have never tried having a locker in school before.  There were no lockers where we can keep our things. Of course here in the US most schools have lockers and I like it. I have seen so many times in movies where students have each locker.  When I worked before to a two separate company, we had employee lockers but it wasn’t a steel lockers. It was just lockers made of wood but it honestly helps us keep our things safe. We didn’t have to worry about our personal belongings while we are working because we all know that it’s in safe place.

Classroom Audio Systems

Nowadays, most schools have high technology equipments to help student’s life easier. The classroom audio systems are just some of those equipments being installed that really makes a difference to both the students and the professors. If all school classrooms all over the world will have a classroom audio then it’s going to be wonderful. You can really tell how useful it is to everyone inside the room, there will be clear and powerful sound. When I was in college, there is only one room in the university that has classroom amplification. It was only our English classroom and I liked that classroom. I bet there are many classrooms in that university now that have conference audio systems. I know that all the old buildings were replaced with new ones already because I saw it when they started the buildings. Anyhow, it would be great for school classrooms to have all the technology needed installed one day.

Xoom Coupon Code

I  used xoom yesterday night for free of charge. I just search on google and luckily I found a coupon code at xoom's blog which is PEDRING. It says that the code is only valid through September 29th but it went through. I was happy because I saved the $13.99 fee. Aside from my very first money transfer, yesterday was the only time that I got free fee or to have a discount code. So to those of you who are planning to send money to your love ones to the Philippines, you can also try the code PEDRING.

Buy Your Medications Online

Have you ever tried ordering your prescription medications online? How about those over-the-counter medications? Did you know that it is possible to buy them online? If you haven’t try it yet then you should, because it is just the same like you’re buying the medicines at your local pharmacy but with better prices. You can buy it at a canadian pharmacy with no problem wherever part of the world you are. Isn’t that amazing how internet makes this happen? An online store like canada pharmacy helps so many people purchase their medications at a lower price. Most of us would really take time to find less expensive products online. Why would you pay more for something that you can buy for less? It just doesn’t make sense unless money is not an issue. I have tried buying medicines online and all I can is that it’s just buying them at our local pharmacy. I didn’t have to leave my home so I saved time. Another thing that I like about online pharmacy is that we can buy any medications that we can find in any local pharmacy. There are things that we can only online find in certain places but because of the online pharmacy like canada drugs, it is possible for us to buy them too without going Canada.

I Would Love To Receive A Ring

It’s only October but people are starting to buy Christmas presents in order to avoid hassle. I’m thinking also that it is really a good idea to buy things as early as now. Then we will know if we have all that we need to buy in our list. If not then we still have plenty of time to buy and wrap them. There are so many things that we can give to our friends and love ones. For the kids, toys and clothes then for men and women, we could give perfumes. For married couple and those who are engaged, titanium rings would be a nice gift for this holiday too. Of course during special occasions like birthdays and wedding anniversaries also. I think tungsten rings are great present and I would love it so much if my husband would give me one. Our 3rd wedding anniversary is end of this month and my birthday is in December so who knows I might get one.

My Joy, My Life

It's finally October again! It is a very special month for my family and it will always be. You know why? It's because October 30th is our wedding anniversary and this month is our 3rd year as a married couple. Then October 23rd is the birth of our precious God's gift little angel Mackenzie. I am so happy for having them in my life. I am so blessed because I have a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally, who takes care and always makes me feel loved. I am so blessed for having an adorable princess Mackenzie. They are my everything! I just can't imagine my life without them now.

Mailboxes Add Beauty To A Home

Every time I pass by and see a mailbox that really looks stylish and different from most mailboxes that we commonly seen anywhere else, I couldn’t help myself but stare at it. Honestly, it makes me want to have one also. Most of the residential mailboxes just look the same and I thought it would be nice to have a mailbox which is unique from the rest. I am looking forward to be able to get a chance to have a mailbox that I really would like to see everyday in our front yard.

For me, mail boxes add beauty to a home so it matters what type of mailbox we have. For sure people that pass by our home that sees it will say something complimentary. Well, I do it myself so I am pretty sure that other people does too.

Need Mailboxes?

Whether you are looking for residential mailboxes or Commercial Mailboxes, the very first thing you should do is to browse online. Believe me, you can find biggest selections of mailboxes at online stores compared to just going to the local stores. As we all know, there are different types of mailboxes and whenever we need one, checking online stores is a must. You may need Cluster Mailboxes which is also called the CBU Mailboxes for your tenants secure mail receptacle.

Couple of weeks ago, I was with my friend and we had to drop off a friend to her apartment. It was honestly the first time that I saw Apartment Mailboxes. There are people altogether getting their mails at the same time. I bet they knew each other because they were talking while waiting for the mail man to finish putting away the mails to every mailbox. I can say that having mailboxes really makes every mail in order and secure. Another thing that I really like about it is that you have privacy with your own mails. I just hate without a mailbox like where I used to live.  

Finally Temperature is Cooling Down

Everyone here in Arizona just can't wait for the cooler temperature. We are happy to see the weekly weather forecast that finally shows cooler temperature. It's too much to have 3 digits temperature for six months or so. We are so happy to finally feel the nice weather here. It's just starting because winter is just perfect in Arizona where most of the other states are having snow and snow storms. Here in Arizona during winter is between 50 and 70 degrees. We have the choice also if we want to be in snow since there are some cities that are snowing during winter in Arizona that are just few hours away.
