FabricWorkroom makes custom decorating easy

About four years ago I had a heck of a time finding drapes to coordinate with my jade sectional couch. I looked in every store within two counties and checked more websites than I can count. Had I known about FabricWorkroom.com back then my search for the perfect window treatments could have been solved […]

FitFlop review

Comfortable footwear is a must, no matter if you’re at home or on vacation. With the airlines charging for bags now, people are going to have to pack smarter and lighter than ever before if they’re planning on flying to their destination. One of the ways people can lesson the amount they pack is […]

Beach-Bikes-Shop

Living at the shore I see things that I might not see if I lived elsewhere. Many of these things are related to the beach, the boardwalk and the ocean. While making a trip to Windward Beach last month I saw a beach bicycle. They looked similar to bikes that were out when I was […]

Upstate New York, planned to please

The time has come for me to plan our annual summer vacation. Typically we go camping in upstate New York for one week, traveling at the same time as my parents. We pull a tiny travel trailer behind my truck up to the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. While there we camp at […]

A Mystic weekend

We didn’t travel much in the early years of our marriage. In the beginning we didn’t have a car, and after that when we had a car but we didn’t have the money. After that, most of the traveling we did do were short weekend trips. One of the weekend trips that I remember the […]

Bicycling with higher power

Any time weather permits it’s very common to see kids riding their bikes, people riding their bicycles to work and […]

Making the big move

I’ve moved a number of times since I became an adult. Although some of them were big for us, none of them were probably as big as what some people go through when making “the big move”. Relocation.com is a site that strives to provide people with all resources necessary to make a big move […]

Cleaning house

I do not enjoy house cleaning. I do not do it as often as I should. I work all day and do whatever needs to be done after work, like running the kids, laundry, cooking and don’t forget blogging. Who has time to clean? I never have the time to clean. Lately I have found […]

A travel store

I’d really like to go to Hawaii. I’ve been told my numerous people that it’s beautiful and when I read my pal Skeet’s blog and see her pictures of Hawaii I want to go even more. While I was surfing the web today I wandered onto the TravelStore site. There was a lot of helpful […]

RC Cars, a hobby for all generations

Every male in my family has a radio controlled car. Actually, they all have at least one Xmod rc car, but most if not all have more than one. Over the years my parents bought my brothers a couple of rc cars. As they grew older the cars were manufactured better and more capable. […]
