I looked forward to having my mornings alone
I have been a fulltime Mom for the last 5 years and now that my daughter is in kindergarten all day I have the mornings to myself. The house is quiet. The only noise is the ceiling fan above my head. I am free to do whatever I want every weekday morning. It is so nice to sit and have a cup of coffee in silence. Take an extra-long shower, just because you feel like it. Not hear “Mum” over and over again even just for a few hours is refreshing. I can do whatever my heart desires. I can read, take my time cleaning the house, watch tv, exercise or just go to a store and window shop……alone. If you have never had time alone you cannot realize how liberating it is. I love my weekday mornings almost as much as I love my family.

I did not do much at all this weekend
I went to the grocery store, laundromat, and the playground with my daughter. We really lead a pretty basic and boring life right now. I am however, crocheting a sweater for my niece, I worked on that a little this past weekend. I am really proud of it and can’t wait to see her wear it. I helped my 5 year old clean her room, after which we read books and worked on sight words. Thinking about it makes me really sad to think we did nothing this weekend that was fun and exciting. I guess after a long week of work and school you just need to do nothing for a little while. My husband went hunting on Saturday with a friend from work. Not something I am interested in, for sure. Maybe I can make this weekend into a fun-filled adventure.

Best things in Life are free
Do you want to have the best morning, everyday? Then it is very easy to do, all you need to have is a really good bath vanities in your bathroom and you’re ready to say hello to a good day coming your way. When you wake up and you realized that you will get to see really good things you instantly feel good and excited about the day. Add that relaxing and refreshing bath with your vanities and you can assure that no one can control you from having the best days of your life. That’s also the reason why they always say that best things in life are free and sometimes they are just inside your bathroom.

The Beauty of the Rainforest
The most beautiful place I have ever seen is the rainforest in Belize. While traveling on a Caribbean cruise, I took a shore excursion in Belize. We hiked several miles through the rainforest. Even though the sky was overcast, the forest was lush and green. There were so many plants and trees I had never seen before; they towered above my head and enveloped me in nature. It was also very quiet. All you could hear was the low noises of birds and insects. In short, it was a gorgeous and peaceful place to visit. The rainforests of Belize are the most beautiful places in the world.

Travel Without Travelling
Spending free times outside the house is really great most especially if you will find peace and comfort. But sometimes in able to do that, you need first to travel and that’s what not so good about that. It will costs you high expenses and will give you tiring days that’s why I thought of having this peaceful place right outside my house. Yes, by simply having a sofa outdoor where I can lay and rest after a very tiring day at work, I have found a perfect place to unwind. It made me feel as if I can travel without spending too much and without getting tired.

College is no small feat
My greatest achievement thus far would be simply graduating college.  There was a time when me graduating high school was a shock to some people.  Although I never had a doubt of my capabilities, it is nice to have the diploma to prove other people wrong. I was a troubled kid, and still find my way into trouble at times, but not many knew that I was also intelligent.  I may make rash decisions but that is no way a reflection upon my capacity to learn and retain knowledge.  Sometimes I simply choose not to use this intelligence. Now that I am graduated I look forward to accomplishing many more things.

Mermen rule the seas
If I was to live underwater, since this is clearly hypothetical and open to fantasy, I would be a merman.  Most mermen throughout mythology were fearsome c creatures to be reckoned with.  They are always handsome, from the torso up that is.  They are uniquely strong and swift.  As a merman I would freely rule the sea.  I would be the smartest creature in the water universe and therefore be able to adapt myself to stay on top and out of the jaws of anything bigger than me.  Furthermore, I would not have to change my idea of beauty of thinking that much, as opposed if I was to take on the form of some lesser sea faring creature.

Why you should Choose Bathroom Vanity Sets than Pedestal Sinks?
In any bathroom, it is important to have a sink. In fact, you can choose between bathroom vanity sets and pedestal sinks. Both of them portray lots of benefits. However, they may also differ in various ways. Bathroom vanity sets are good if you have a larger space. Unlike the pedestal sinks, bathroom vanity sets have drawers where you can hide stuffs from your visitors. You can also have lots of options when it comes to choosing the design, shape, and price which can make your bathroom appear elegant. Lastly, it is easier to clean and maintain compare to pedestal sinks.

Welcome to my Sandwich Shoppe.
I am blessed to have a great job.  Yet it is pressure filled and exhausting. If I won the lottery I would save most of it.  But I would open up a little sandwich shop somewhere.  I would work from 6-3 Monday thru Friday, running my own little lunch joint.  I loved running a grill when I was younger.  I would love to just make good food and make their day just a little better. Of course I don’t have to make much money off this venture because I’m already stinking rich!  But a man should work to stay sharp.  Is there anything more honest than making a sandwich?  I highly doubt it. I still have my weekends and my nights to do my own thing. Yep I would make myself the job I love if I won the lottery.

Choosing the Best Outdoor Sofa
Do you have a lovely garden or yard? For you to fully enjoy its scenery and relaxing ambiance, you have to add furniture. One of the furniture that you should add is the outdoor sofa. However, you have to check some aspects which can make you choose the best one. First, you have to decide where the best part is for you to place the sofa. Second, you have to estimate the perfect size and shape. No matter how beautiful your outdoor sofa may be, it will become useless if it does not fit to your yard. Third, you have to think of the design and color. It will be best if you will base it from the design of your yard. Lastly, you should consider your budget so that you will love it without exceeding from your budget.
