Dorm Room Essentials

admin — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:03:12 +0000

There are many different ways to approach life in a college dormitory and each and every school has its own specific set of rules and regulations which must be considered. Typically the school will offer a checklist detailing dorm room requirements and essentials, along with outlining what the school will provide (things like beds, mattresses and desks), what is restricted or prohibited and what sorts of items are suggested or required. With this in hand the next best step is to take a look at the websites of the major bed and bath stores – most offer digital college and camp checklist which are quite handy.

With a digital checklist parents, students and future roommates can coordinate décor ideas and work together to avoid duplication of purchases; parents can keep tabs on the budget and weigh in on what’s going on without being overly controlling. Social media is another great way to communicate; the versatile digital checklists are great for that too. Not every parent drives their child to school nor does everyone have access to a car that is large enough to move a dorm room worth of stuff; one easy solution is to order goods online and have them shipped directly to the dormitory.

Look for furniture which can be easily assembled on site (be sure to bring the proper tools) and versatile items which can do double duty. Bed risers are indispensible – they elevate the bed to create extra storage space underneath. Large and bulky or fragile items can be a hassle to move – one solution is to ship supplies or nursery bedding in advance, or to have the retailer ship to the dormitory with a pre-set delivery date.

How Staining made simple for the family with Flood® Wood Care

admin — Sat, 11 May 2013 21:01:13 +0000

This post brought to you by Flood® Wood Care. All opinions are 100% mine.

My family loves the outdoors. We spend a lot of our time outside as family. I am very happy that my kids love outdoors just like their Daddy does. They love going fishing at the pond. I just wish that they would give me some of the fish that they catch for dinner! Unfortunately, my kids will not allow me to cook them. They claim that the fish is their pet. We have many fish in our pond. The kids love to stand on the dock to go fishing. They also swam in the pond last week.

We also love to watch birds flying around the pond. My husband bought two birdhouses recently. The birds have their babies inside the birdhouse already. I even saw a hatched on the ground. It is fun to watch the birds take a bath in the pond. The birds are also great for reducing the insect population at the pond.

I am thankful that my husband ordered this shade from the Amish last year. The shade is where we put our fish food, fish reels, and ice skates when they go ice skating in the pond in the winter. My husband loves the wood products. He loves to stain to keep them beautiful. Try this Staining Made Simple guide when you use Flood® Wood Care products.

My husband stained the birdhouse and it looks beautiful. He needs to stain the dock on the other side of the pond. He should also stain the shade while he’s at it. He will probably stain them when it’s warmer out. It is very cold today. Maybe in the next few days the sun will come out. I cannot wait for his projects. I know that they will turn out beautiful.

Watering the tulips

admin — Fri, 10 May 2013 19:43:25 +0000

The tulips are finally growing on the side of the garage. It took awhile for the tulips to grow in this area it is because it seldom see by the sun. The tulips on the front yard grows faster than the other side of the garage.

This is one afternoon when our son water the tulips. He is a very helpful brother.

Sometimes he does not help because of his moods.

What a typical boy, right? Anyway, I am glad that I always bring my camera with me. I took pictures of him while watering the tulips. He did a great job. The tulips are still growing beautifully from this side. Mostly red and orange tulips are growing in this side. I hope that they will come to grow next spring. I plan to plant more tulips on the front of the kitchen this fall. The front yard tulips started to die.

admin — Thu, 09 May 2013 19:35:30 +0000

It is getting warmer each day here in Western New York. My family especially my kids love to spend more time outside playing and enjoy the warm weather we have. They ride their scooters, bikes, ATV and golf cart around the yard and the trails too. They also love to go fishing at the pond. Our in-ground pool open a week ago. The kids love to go swimming in the pool after they come home from school. The weekends are busy in my household.

At the end of the day, the kids are getting sweaty and dirty. I have to give them shower especially my little girl after swimming in the pool. She has a very sensitive skin and has reactions with the chlorine in the pool.

I am glad that I received this Ivory 2 in 1 hair and body wash in the mail to help my kids taking a shower more fun. It also comes with three coupons that I can use for my future grocery shopping. These coupons will help me save money. I have used Ivory soap until now. It is perfect for my sensitive skin as well. I know that my kids will love this hair and body wash Ivory. It has a fresh smell which I love. I used it myself as well. We all love the feel of Ivory hair and body wash in our skin and in our hair. It cleans our body better.

A new sunglasses for the little girl

admin — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:27:09 +0000

I bought this sunglasses for my little girl last Christmas. I did not give it to her during that holiday. She needs a new sunglasses. The one she is using is getting small on her.

I am glad that this new sunglasses fits on her perfectly. She wears it for the first time when she had sunbathing with Daddy.

Sunglasses protect her eyes from the sun rays. This has ultra violet rays protection to keep her eyes safe. I think she look cute on her. She loves to wear sunglasses. I am glad that she likes it. My son does not need a new sunglasses. He wears the sunglasses that comes from Daddies work. He looks cool wearing in it too.

How about your kids? Do you let them wear sunglasses too? What kind of sunglasses they are wearing?

Swimming by the pond

admin — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:41:56 +0000

My kids love the water. They both love to swim as well. They learn how to swim in our pool. My son learned how to swim during the first year when we bought this house. My husband did dig the pond during the 3rd year when we live this house. I am glad that he did ask somebody to dig the pond. He said it is his dream to have a pond in his house.

The weather is very warm. I want to say thanks God for the warm day we have in Western New York. I hope that it will last longer.

The pond water temp that day is 74. Yes! It is very warm.

The kids were very happy and at the same time very excited. This is my son jumping in the pond. He is enjoying every moment in the pond. My husband and I am watching him. It does not matter if he knows how to swim. Our guidance is very important.

Our first family picnic in our patio

admin — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 19:46:58 +0000

Today is a gorgeous day in Western New York. The high is in the 70’s. We are thankful that finally the sun is shining. It is a perfect weather to spend quality time with the family. It is also the best time to have a picnic in our patio.

My husband asks the kids if what they want for lunch. They said they want hotdogs while my husband and I have hot sausage. My daughter and I are preparing the table while the husband is busy grilling the hotdogs and the sausages. I also heat up a pork and beans in the stove. We had salad the left over that the husband did not eat last night before he went to work. I also slice some apples and potato chips. I also slice buns for the hotdogs and the sausages. My daughter and I both have pop. My husband and our son both have milk.

This is our first time to have a picnic in our patio. I hope it is not the last. We are looking forward for warm weather ahead and enjoy being outside. I set the camera on the railing and press the timer to take a photo of the family. I think it is perfect shot, right?
