Real Estate Website Software

Have I told you that my husband is a little obsessed with real estate? He browses the different homes for sale online almost everyday hehehe. I told him that I wouldn't waste my time browsing on those homes for sale because I know that we we are not buying another house. He said that he is looking for a good deals on this houses for sale at our area because he really want us to have a bigger house. Right now, our home has only two bedrooms which is not be enough when the kids grow up and would want to have their own bedrooms.

If you guys are dealing with real estate and would want to reach for your prospective buyer, you should try to create an account at 2Estates where you can use a real estate script and choose from their different real estate website templates that would jive to the property you are selling.

Trexie's Eye

Meet Trexie, one of our niece Jen's dog. She adopted her from the pounbd and she was an eye abnormality. She is a really sweet dog and she seem to see with only an eye functioning. I am not sure what kind of a dog Trexie is but one thing I am sure of is that she is a really good dog.

High Quality Bedding For High Quality Rest

When it comes to luxury and comfort, nothing comes close to an ultra-soft Chenille bedspread. I can still recall the first time that I experienced the softness of chenille, I was utterly amazed. Since then, I've yet to find anything that compares.
bedding
A nice set of bedspreads and bed sheets can make all of the difference in the world when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. There is just something about climbing into bed after a long day and being able to relax in the ultimate level of comfort. A level that you just can't get from lower quality bed sheets and spreads.
I'm all about function, so regardless of how appealing a bed may look, if it's not layered in comfort, it simply won't do. That isn't to say that you shouldn't adorn your bed with beautiful accent pillows and other ornamental items, but take care of the basics first with high quality sheets and pillow cases. After all, a good night's rest means a greater quality of life.

Grocery Day

Some of you might have seen these photos already as I posted it in my Etcetera blog last year. These were taken at the Commissary inside the base in Korea. I miss shopping there because all the produce are really cheap compared to the stores in here. Hubby and I can buy a pack of pork ribs for just a couple of dollars but over hear, you will shell out 8 dollars to buy a decent one.
mommy moments
But anyhow, since I don't have any pictures of us in the grocery store over here, I decided to use these photos for the them at Mommy Moment this week.
Sometimes people would look at me like I am sort of weirdo or something when I am taking photos but what the heck, I don't care because I really want our kids to remmeber everything that we do together as a family.

Advanced Office Password Recovery

Did you ever forgot a password to your Microsoft office files? If you have files in your computer that you want to unlock, an Advanced Office Password Recovery will be a great tool for you. For a person like me who has a hard time remembering passwords, this could come in handy as it allows you to reset windows password easily and quickly.

Coke Refinery

These were taken a couple of weeks ago when we visited our niece in Follansbee. There is a Coke Refinery on the way so I took some shots. The kids love the flames that is coming out from the torch (not sure if that's what you call it).
It's hard to take pictures when the vehicle is moving so photos here were not as great as I wanted it to.
Happy Sky watching everyone.

Made in America

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.
I live in the small town of Weirton, a place that was forged from steel. This small town used to produce large amounts of steel which made for a very nice living some time ago. My husband tells me about a time when the mill was still operating and everyone in this area had a good job and the town was a bit wealthy. People from nearby towns and bordering states came pouring in for the employment opportunities and the town prospered and grew.
As with most of the good things that built our great nation, it had to end. Some blamed it on poor management but many believe it was caused by union greed. It is so sad to see a community, that used to offer so much, become a mere shell of what it used to be. Below is a picture of a small part of the mill that stands as a colossal reminder of better days.
I hope that Rambler's Way, a commitment to revitalizing small towns, will be extended to this place, because I really want to raise our kids here. Made in America is a program that Rambler's Way is implementing to help out small towns just like Weirton and to regain its active business prowess once again. My father-in-law has so many memories of working in this mill and it would be great to see it in full operation once again. It would be a small but vital step to getting America back in business again, not to mention, it would alleviate the poverty that has befallen so many in this region of the country.

Plates with Wrought Iron Caddy

A very good and thoughtful friend sent me this beautiful beautiful set of eight 6" plates with with wrought iron caddy that she bought from CSN stores, thank you so much sis Dhemz! I know that you don't have to really give me something because it was your prize but you included me in your winning anyways.
I so love this because every time I am teaching my daughter with our one-on-one lessons in the dining room area, I always see this pretty set in our China Cabinet. Aren't they lovely?
My husband said that I should look for some saucers and plates to match this set so I browsed through CSN's robust selection and found this Mikasa Indigo Bloom Rectangular Platter which is also available in oval shape. These would be perfect to match them.

Car Service Contract

Hello there everyone, how's your day today? My husband is very busy doing stuff outside. He is now cleaning our walls with the pressure washer and he said that he is going to clean our car afterwards. He is also scheduled the car for a complete service down at the Honda Dealership in Ohio next week because we are planning to go for a short vacation.
He called the Honda garage if how much will be the cost and it's a little expensive that I expected. Whew, maintaining vehicles is sure a continuous expense unless you have a car service contract. Extended Warranty, Extended Warranties, Vehicle Service Contract and other warranty can save you money in the long run. Just look at us who doesn't have one, we will shell out from our pocket a big amount just for the dealership to do some maintenance and repair to our car.
If you want to save money in the future services for your car, an extended car warranty can be your savior. Car Service Contract offer a bumper to bumper coverage that is backed by most of the insurance companies. They also offer full comprehensive, power train and other vehicle warranties at an affordable monthly dues. You may request an instant quote to see what kind of contract would be best for you.

Precious Gifts

We would like to thank the Cole family from Pennsylvania for sending us a box of goodies last week. Thank you so much Mel for being such a thoughtful and nice friend, may God bless you more for that! Blogging have brought me so much great experiences especially in meeting good people.
Mel sent a Holly Royalton Collection with a certificate of authenticity. Holly's head hands and feet are fashioned of fine hand - painted bisque porcelain. Her costume has been hand-tailored using the finest fabrics and trims.
Do you see how happy she is in the picture? Thanks Mel for the gorgeous sterling-swarovski earring you sent me. You made my two sweet tooth men happy with the box of chocolate - my husband's favorite brand too. Most especially, our little man was so happy that he has something in the box, he is a fan of light bug years characters. He love those cute pencils and the stickers and magnet stickers made the two really busy hahaha.
So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much Mel. I hope that in due time, we will meet your family in person sistah. Please visit her lovely sites at Heart's Content of Mama, Arty Bluejay, Love Home, Grow Garden, and Season's and Seasoning.

Auto Repair Warranty

Do you have an Auto warranty? Do you think investing in one is worth it? Personally, I do think so because you never know when you need it. Sometimes when we think that everything is ironed out, something happen unexpectedly. So if you have a warranty, you are pretty much covered with those huge repair bills. You can get one for an affordable monthly installment at US Direct Protect. They offer different kinds of coverage.

DS Downloads

Hubby and I are never fond of playing games online. He always remind me not to download any of those games as most of them are infected with a virus. We have two kids and our eldest is getting interested with playing games on the computer. So hubby searched for a secure site where you can download games like Nintendo DS downloads without a worry of getting infected. He found a website that aid out information on which site you have to stay away from and the sites that are free from harm. You can check it out for yourself by visiting the link above.

Maple Fruit

I took this maple fruit from my FIL's front yard. We love to play with this when they turn brown because they spin and it looks like a helicopter when it's going down. My son would always say, "Let's fly a helicopter, I will be the pilot." Have you ever experience playing with it?

Bathroom Scale

I have been to a couple houses that has bathroom scale and I admire them for having it. Having a bathroom scale is a good thing especially if you are trying to lose weight as it will remind you of your goal every time you go inside the bathroom. When we had our vacation in Korea last year, the hotel that we stayed for three nights has a digital bathroom scale too and it looked fancy. Most of the local Koreans are very mindful of their weights so I am guessing that is the main reasn they put weighing scale on hotel's bathrooms.
Anyhow, there are so many bathroom scales that are available in the market these days. What kind do you guys have?

Custom Labels and Decals

Are you looking for a custom printed label for canning your veggies this year? My father-in-law has started canning his tomatoes this week, he said that he have two big jars of it already. It would be so much fun if we could put custom printed labels to the canned foods that we have isn't it. Below is a sample of food packaging labels from William Frick and Company's website.

Golden Beauty

I saved so many seeds of this flower a couple of years ago and this year, I spread them out in my flower bed. I have so many of them in here. I don't exactly know the name of this flower though. Do you know?

Play Around in Memphis

This is a sponsored guest post written by Memphis Travel on behalf of Memphis CVB. Post powered by Sponzai.

More than just the home of the blues and barbeque, Memphis gives you plenty of ways to play around, with fun things to do no matter who you are or what you like. Of course, if you’re into Elvis, rock-and-roll and mouth-watering ribs, you’ve got to check out Graceland, Sun Studios, and the Rendezvous. But Memphis has much more to offer than this holy trinity of southern culture, with enough to see, do and eat to make it the perfect location for your next long weekend getaway.
The families out there (or the wild at heart) should be sure to check out the Memphis Zoo, one of only four U.S. zoos with giant pandas. Recently ranked the #1 zoo in the U.S. by TripAdvisor.com, the Memphis Zoo lets you get up close and personal with the animal kingdom. And with the recent addition the Northwest Passage, home to Polar bears in a see-through underwater exhibit, and the zoo’s newest section, Teton Trek, kids and adults alike are certain to have a blast.
Don’t let your midtown experience stop at the zoo; the Cooper-Young and Overton Square neighborhoods are just down the street. Ask a local Memphian where to find a tasty bite to eat, great local music and ice cold beer, and they will probably direct you here. Speaking of beer … the environmentally conscious visitor can enjoy a locally brewed beer by Ghost River Brewing or walk through the natural landscape and educational facilities at the Lichterman Nature Center.
Memphis has museums for just about everything. From the Civil Rights Museum, Cotton Museum and Fire Museum in downtown to the Brooks Museum, Children’s Museum of Memphis and the Pink Palace Museum further east, the number of places to have fun while you learn are as bountiful as the barbeque restaurants. Families, friends, sports fans, history buffs, self-proclaimed food critics – Memphis has everything you need to keep everyone happy.
So when you visit Memphis, stay a few extra days. Even the locals don’t run out of things to do. And to make it easy, memphistravel.com is launching a new travel guide to help you plan your next vacation. Simply choose from a list of interests and you’ll be given a sample itinerary with lots of great ideas. You can also register for a chance to win one of twelve trip packages that include tours, gift certificates to Memphis’ favorite restaurants, hotel stays and more. Go to itinerary.memphistravel.com to get started.
