Should I Decor the House During Easter?

Our neighbor handed me these two cutie Easter Baskets last week. She said I can load it with stuffs and give it to kids on Easter! I remember our first EASTER here was last May if my memory serves me right. Our friend hosted a Easter celebration in their house, kids and adults had EGG decorating, paintings and the most fun part of all - EGG HUNTING!

This is our 2nd Easter here in Ar and I am thinking of decorating the house for Easter. I was looking for some tutorials online on how to decor the house without spending big bucks for it. I am thinking or recycling the egg shells we are using everyday and paint it and make a TREE with a lot of EGG shells. Hmm...I guess I still have more than a month to figure it out, what do you think?

One Year in Arkansas!

Time flies really fast, I can't believe we're one year in Arkansas this coming March 11th! We are also gonna be one year in our apartment. From my previous posts I mentioned that we are planning to move to other apartment  after our contract but my husband seemed changed his mind again. He said he doesn't want to move to other apartment this time. I understand that it's complicated to move to another apartment even there is so plenty of removal companies offering services to help you but that is not just the thing. He's concerned about the changing of address hassle and paper works! I guess we will just stay in our present place for now and hopefully our next move will be in our permanent place.  We are thinking of acquiring our own house soon and were hoping we could do that next year. And to make that possible, I have to first get a job and help my husband with our expenses. It's been a year now and still looking for a job. I hope to get a job soon and get our dream house next year!
Wish me luck!

The Circus

Guest written by our friend Sergio Chaney

The first time I went to the circus I was three years old. I vaguely remember being there in the dark tent with my dad at my side. My mom likes to tell the story that my dad bought me a grape snow cone that I spilled all over my shirt. My dad got me a glow in the dark t-shirt, which I kept for many years. The next time I went to the circus I was 22 years old. My husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, took me for my birthday. I loved it so much and could not wait to go back. Our son is almost three years old and the circus will be coming to our city next month. I told my husband that I would love to take our son to the circus. He was hesitant at first and said that he thought our son was too young to remember anything about the circus and really enjoy it. Then he changed his mind and told me to go online and find tickets for the three of us. Luckily we had recently got Jamaica wireless internet service so I could easily find the tickets. I cannot wait to see my son’s face when we go to the circus. I think we will have a ton of fun.

Moving to Other Apartment?

My husband and I were thinking of moving to other apartment after our contract. It's not that we don't like our apartment anymore, we just wanted to have a new one and new environment and if possible, we wanted the one with a nice clubhouse and the one that is nearest in our kids' school.
My husband and I were always dreaming of having our own house soon but in our case, we can't afford to get a house yet. I guess I need to have a job first and help him earn so we can able to afford to have a house.
If ever we will acquire a house soon, my husband wanted it to be in Bentonville and wanted it to be a single detached bungalow house with indoor garage, with parking outside, 3-4 bedrooms and 2 baths,  double glazing windows and most of all, with complete facilities in clubhouse.

Having our own house is the greatest material dream I always wanted! I hope my dream will come true soon!

Baby makes three

Post contributed by Leonard Phelps

My son got a new marketing job in Wyoming. He works for a medical imaging company that has facilities all over the United States. This new job is a big promotion for him which will mean a lot more money. That is a good thing because he and his wife are expecting their first baby in about four months, and she wants to stay home with the baby and not work. Not many couples can do that anymore with the way the economy is these days. They are already starting to get their house ready for when the baby is born. The nursery is going to be so cute. The room is going to have a princess theme. They are even letting me make the curtains. I just love being involved in the whole process. The colors are pink and white, and the furniture is also white. There is a tiny chandelier light fixture that just sets the theme for the whole room. The house already had a tall privacy fence for their big back yard. They also got a security system through home security systems Wyoming. Now my son won’t be so worried about them when he is travelling for his job. It looks like they have everything under control. I can’t wait to become a grandmother.

Profit from Vacationers through Holiday Home Rental

The topic of real estate is something that’s very close to my heart, especially since I used to work as a realtor. I get a different sense of satisfaction every time I was able to close deals. However, more than that, it gives me a thrill whenever I see the happy and satisfied smiles on the faces of clients.

Needless to say, I am interested in everything related to homes, from finding one to decorating it. That’s why I make it a point to browse through the online pages of Real Homes magazine to get awesome decorating tips. It’s not like a have a huge house to decorate. However, aside from applying what I learn through Real Homes, I’m also able to share the tips with my friends.

The magazine doesn’t only tackle home decorating and interior design. It also gives practical pieces of advice on how to find the best holiday homes for those who love going on vacations but don’t want to spend a lot on accommodation.

It also gives valuable tips on what people can do with their existing properties rather than letting these go to waste. The magazine advises people who own several real estate properties to rent out their apartments or houses and profit from holidaymakers. Hence, these people are able to turn their properties into money-making machines, and they’ll have more than enough to cover for the upkeep and maintenance of the properties.

Baby Carriers and Its Benefits

I’ve been a mom for many years now and I’ve heard about baby carriers for long but then, I don’t have any idea that it really did exist for centuries. There are different kinds of baby carriers now a day and I am so happy to know that this has been making moms and dads work easier though they have their young ones with them.

Moby wrap is one of the styles that baby slings have and there are lots of benefits we can get out of using this. As it gives you double the fun that you both enjoy and having compared in bringing your child with you carried by your two hands. Since with this, you are no longer had to put him or her if you are tired or you have something to do. And it has been studied and showed by physicians the advantages out of using this carrier. You can both have physical, emotional and psychological benefits with this and aside from this, it is very convenient to use.

And it has been proven that baby carrying is one of the most ideal ways of caring and bonding you can give to your baby at his or her early age. This one is vey ideal for moms and even dads, isn’t it?

Moving was Hard

The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez

Moving was tough on all of us but I think my son Marcus took it the hardest. I know that there are always things that are hard to leave behind but his best friendChris was so close to him and I feel like that’s a big part of why the move was so tough for him. We did all the stuff we were supposed to do like go to www.texaselectricityproviders.com for the house and get him enrolled in school but it’s been about 6 months and he’s showing no signs of getting used to it here in Texas. I actually love it and I know my husband does too so I think the both of us are just waiting for him to come around at some point. I wish there was a magic button to make this all easier on him but you know, at the end of the day this is going to help him learn to be more adaptable and that’s ever a bad thing, am I right?

The Big Move

Authored by Rickey Combs When I saw special prices on Oncor Electric online I jumped on it – we’ve been working on saving money around the house for a while now. When we bought this place it was far more of a money pit than either of us thought, to be honest, and we’ve been working hard to make it what we wanted it to be since day one. I bought paint and made the rooms more cozy and my husband’s been looking into furniture online during his breaks at work. We even had a guy come in and build on a custom back deck which made it feel more like our house than anything else. I don’t know where this place is going to end up but we’ve really made some great progress when it comes to making it our own. I can’t believe it’s going to be done soon but you know, your house is never really done. There’s always something you can change or improve just around the corner!

Home Safety is a Priority

Guest post from: Steve Delaney

Taking care of my family and keeping them safe is a priority for me. Although we installed San Diego adt security when we moved in to our new home, I took many other steps to make sure we don’t have to worry about a break-in. The first two things I did after we closed on our home was change the locks and install deadbolts on all the exterior doors. Even though the home was new, we had no way of knowing exactly who had keys to it. Numerous contractors had been in and out and I felt like it was not worth taking the chance. Deadbolts are much safer than spring-latch locks which can be popped open with a credit card. Once I had those chores completed, I installed motion detecting lights on all four corners of the house. Any movement will cause them to come on, hopefully scaring any would-be intruders back in to the shadows. We also made a point to meet all of our neighbors and took the time to get to know them and their schedules and vehicles hoping they would do the same for us as well. I know they will let me know if they see anything suspicious and would gladly return the favor!
