Need work in your house?

If so, you may want to do the work yourself instead of going to your neighborhood home improvement store. Or you can make a call to a reputable contractor and make sure that person or company is licensed and insured.  Many people don't know this but it's the law to be licensed and insured if you are a contractor.  You never know what problems can arise while your home is being remodeled or renovated.My husband is a contractor.  He is both licensed and insured.  He has … [Read more...]

Changes

That is what I want for my blog.  So for the next few weeks, you are going to see different backgrounds and colors b/c I am searching for a new look.  I'm not quite happy about the new look now so I am going to tweak it up a bit in the next few weeks.  I hope you don't mind the "construction". … [Read more...]

I hate rejection!

I can't believe it. My blog was rejected by someone through Entrecard.  They claimed it was because it was not relevant.  WHAT??!! That person's blog used to be on my favorites.  Needless to say, they are no longer on my list.  I really can't believe that!  Has this happened to anyone else?  … [Read more...]

Toddler Talk

I have a 3 year old that speaks pretty well for her age.  You can understand what she says, most of the time.  When she says words that don't sound right, I try to correct her and get kind of upset when she says it the right way.  You see, I love when kids her age say things the "wrong" way.  I think it is so cute.  Even though I do want her to speak proper English, she is my last baby and she'll learn the right way eventually.  Here is what she is saying now:Baby … [Read more...]

I won an award!!!

Well, not a real life award but a blog award called the Arte and Pico Award.  Take a look: Isn't she beautiful?  Mrs. Mecomber from New York Renovator gave me this award.  I am so grateful and happy and at the same time shocked.  I really love all of her her blogs too.  I can't believe she has more then two blogs that she updates regularly.  They're always interesting and funny too.  Here is what she said about my blog: New York Chica Another fun blog! She talks about anything and everything … [Read more...]

Rolling down memory lane

I remember when I was 19 years old, my dad took my sister and I to Orlando, Florida for our summer vacation.  It was one of my most memorable experiences in my life.  It was also my very first time in Florida.  I loved everything about it.  We were there for only a week but we did so much.  Since there are so many things to do in Orlando, you will never be bored.  You can visit one of their amusement parks, go to one or a few of their many beaches and eat at so many … [Read more...]

Yard sale

I really need to have a yard sale.  We have accumulated so much stuff in the past 7 years, I feel like we are growing out of this house.  We pretty much have an average size house.  Not too big and not too small.  It is perfect for a family of five but with all this stuff, I feel like we need to buy a bigger house.  In reality, we don't have to.  We just need to get rid of everything we don't use anymore.  The only problem we have, is that we NEVER had a yard … [Read more...]

Summer Vacation is Here!

The kids are off from school and I know I will run out of things to keep them busy.  Unfortunately, this summer, we are unable to take a vacation because of all the prices going up.  We will however, go to P.A. to visit some family for the weekend in August.  So technically, that will be our little "vacation".  One thing I would love to do is to check out some RVs For Sale and maybe we can think about traveling that way instead of going to a hotel. I have always wanted to travel in a … [Read more...]
