I love how my neighborhood changes from season to season

by

I’ve been taking a close look at several of the houses in my neighborhood when I take my dog out for a walk each day. It’s interesting to see the changes the houses go through each season. Many houses are decorated for the houses right now and the neighborhood is quite pretty at night.

One thing that I’ve noticed that several houses who have done some landscaping have done is to get a really nice address plaque. Some of my neighbors have built their address plaques into their stone edging surrounding their property. I’m sure I’m describing it properly but lets say the stone surrounds the property like a short fence and the number plaque is embedded in the stone. It’s very nice when it’s done well. I like the look of some of the address plaques so much that I went looking for some and I found a address plaques from addressplaques.net that I really like, I just have to decide if I want to buy it for our house now and where I might put it.

Do you have a nice address plaque on your house or just plain numbers? Oh and do you change the look of the outside of your home depending on the seasons? By this I mean do you decorate for the holidays or plant flowers outdoors in the spring and summer?





I want to make some home made wine

by

I think it’s been at least a year since I signed up to several sites like Groupon and Social Living. I love getting the emails that tell me about local deals even though I rarely buy into any of the offers.

One of the offers that I wish I’d bought into, that I’ve seen a few times in the past but haven’t seen for months, is from a wine making company. It was a deal to make something like 40 or 50 bottles of wine for about $50. Sounds too good to be true – right?

So now I’m watching every email that comes in from all of these daily deal companies hoping for a wine making deal. I just haven’t seen one for quite a while. It’s so odd. I even priced out a wine chiller for when our wine would be ready if we managed to get a bargain.

Have you made wine at at wine making company? Did it go well, did you enjoy the wine you made?

Shopping from home tonight

by

You’d never know it, but I’m shopping right now … yep, I am. The great thing is- it’s cold outside and I didn’t even have to dress for the weather. I’m doing all my shopping online tonight.

I’m trying to get a little bit of my Christmas shopping done. I’m not sure how successful I’ll be, but I do think that I found an interesting gift idea for one of my nephews. Whenever he comes over he always has his things and his laptop in a ratty old knapsack and I think it might be a good idea to get him one of these jansport backpacks I’m sure he’d love it. Yes, I might just get that for him.

Now if only I could think of what else to get for everyone else on my list! Just after Christmas I’m going to be going to see my brother and his girlfriend and I haven’t seen them for quite a while. I’d love to get them something special but I have no idea what they’d like. I know, I’ll give them a call tomorrow night and see if I can get some ideas from them – carefully of course.

How are you doing as far as buy gifts on your list goes? Are you done yet?

Seaweed shampoo – yep it’s real

by

I was visiting my hairdresser recently – getting my hair cut and having a visit with her and we got talking about the type of products she uses in her salon.

You see, I started seeing my hairstylist about a year ago and from the very first visit I realized her salon was quite different from most of the other salons that I’ve been to in the past. You see she uses all natural products. Her shampoos and conditioners have herbs and essential oils in them and prior to doing anything to me she always gives me a scalp massage with a soothing oil such as a lavender oil. It’s really quite an experience. I actually like going there, it’s so relaxing.

On my latest visit we got talking about Seaweed shampoos. You see I occasionally suffer from psoriasis and apparently this kind of shampoo can help so she told me to go to seaweedbathco.com for seaweed shampoo so I did and I was surprised at the variety of products and I suppose – flavors? there. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be sold online, but the next time I do a little over the border shopping I’m going to look for it.

Do you ever discover new interesting products at your hair stylist?

Trying to find something to do with my time

by

Now that the weather is getting cooler I find that I’m indoors more and I’m starting to get quite bored. It doesn’t help that my husband has been working quite a bit of extra hours lately as well which has left me home on my own. I need something to keep me busy!

I’m thinking of joining a club or two. Something to get me out once or twice a week, maybe meeting new people, keep me busy. Obviously I love gardening so joining a gardening club would be good. Of course they tend to slow down in the winter time. So … perhaps a photography club or if not a club maybe I’ll try taking a photography course.

Any suggestions?

On a slightly related note I came across a really cool site. They make personalized coins. Why I say it’s related is because if I were to join some kind of club it would be cool to have custom made coins made for the club.
