Primp Your Patio

Other from colorful ornamental plants and shrubs, a patio furniture can turn your usual garden into a stylish ones. This way, you can indulge in nature’s beauty even if you are living in the metro. Add fire pots to relieve your stress. If you have more space, why not add a mini pond or a fountain? Flowing water definitely attracts good luck and good health. Furthermore, if you have kids; having a patio is a great way to teach them how important plants are. Also, it’s another way of showing you care for the environment. On your own little way, you are helping to reduce global warming.

Weekends
For me the thing I look forward to most is the Weekends. I haven’t had a really proper vacation since I started working at eighteen and I truly wish that I could just get a break. So, for me, weekends is that time that I get to do something I really like or just relax and do nothing if I feel like it. No work demands, no bad attitudes from co-workers, no stressful demands. I am free for two days of loud airplanes and heavy files and Auditors. Its just me and my time and I love that and I get to spend it with people I love.

Tea Therapy With Family

Tea is no’t just your afternoon booster. It can actually make you healthier. Instead of going to your nearest coffee shop to enjoy some high-end lattes; why not indulge in tea therapy with your family? Tea is relatively cheap and easy to prepare. It’s an economical way to spend time with family during late afternoons for some chatting sessions. Enjoy a cup of tea right in your patio dining set. Simply put those leaves in hot water. What you are actually doing is extracting phytonutrients like those found in fruits and vegetables. If you can’t take a cup of tea, try it with food.

Louisiana Fast!
The farthest place I have traveled away from home would be to Shreveport, Louisiana. This is the only place that I have been that required me to enter another time zone. To make matters even worse, I drove to Louisiana. It is about a 14 hour drive. I visit Louisiana to visit my father’s side of the family. He is from Shreveport. Most of his family still lives there. I only make this trip probably 3 times in my entire life but my father makes it a point to visit every year! Every time I visit Louisiana, We drive out to the ports in New Orleans to visit the famous casino boat.

How to spend $1000
If I had a $1000 shopping spree and could only use it at one store, I would use it at Wal-Mart. The reason I choose Walmart is because Walmart is a super store. It has everything from food to gardening supplies. With clothing, jewelry, toys, home accents, and hardware, I would be able to shop for every member of my family. I would buy my children clothes that will last them a year or so by buying sizes that are slightly larger. I would buy tissue, soap, and other household accessories in bulk. I would buy a couple of hundred dollars in groceries and then spend the rest of family entertainment.  Walmart is the perfect store to obtain a $1000 shopping spree.

Modern Bedroom Furniture has become Popular
One of the most important parts in your house is the bedroom. This is the place where you can enjoy your privacy and solemnity. Most probably, when you are inside your bedroom, you can be just who you are and please nobody, but only yourself. That’s why over the years, bedroom furniture has also become important. Today, modern bedroom furniture is popular. It usually gives an elegant and cosy ambiance because of its design. But most owners want it because of the softness and comfort that the cushion gives. Aside from those, it is durable and worthy to have compared to other types of bed.

Next Level of My Career
I am looking forward to reach the next level of my career whenever I get a chance to do so. When I started my career as a sales person I had the fire within me and I knew I would reach heights as I continue with my job. As I anticipated I worked hard and I was rewarded with a promotion within a period of six months. Now I am the senior sales person and even now I am trying and working hard to become the sales manager. Not to stop with this growth my ultimate goal would be to develop a company of my own if I would get a chance.

Why Put Deep Seating Patio Furniture?
Are you bored staying inside your house frequently? If you are, use your outdoor space to have an extension of your home.  You can put deep seating patio furniture. In this way, you will be able to enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sceneries outside. When you are so down or so stress, your patio can be the best place for you to go and to relax. If you don’t want the heat of the sun, you may also add an elegant and well-designed patio umbrella that will shade you. But in choosing for deep seating patio furniture, make sure that it is water resistant so that you can put it outside year round.

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.
