Dealing With Teenagers @ Home

Posted by Trendy Chick on November 18th, 2010

Being a mother of 3 isn’t as busy as some might say they are – but we all have our own little dealing with our teenagers from health, food that they are consuming, school work, friends and play time and especially their skin problem.  Like every mother, we want the best for our kids and [...]

A Cozy Kitchen

Posted by Trendy Chick on November 17th, 2010

Our kitchen is very small – but it’s very cozy.  My girlfriends and neighbors drop in all the time to have a cup of coffee with me and chat about anything and everything – from relationships to workout and even share information on  diet pills for women that really work .  I can’t help but [...]

Heavy Rainfall & Basement Damage

Posted by Trendy Chick on November 14th, 2010

We have had a few days of continuous rainfall causing even some bridges to go under and road closure and evacuation in our area.  A friend whom we met told us that her basement was totally damaged  and the spouse had asked if she had insurance – and apparently not!  Lucky for us – when [...]

Yes! it’s that time of the year again – where we all have to turn up our heat – and yes! we don’t like it – but on certain days – it can get really cold and we have no choice but to use the heat.   Every year we try our best to save on [...]

I don’t really have a green thumb but I love plants and flowers – and every time we bring home a pot of plant or flowers – the spouse would make fun of me – and asked me  – how long would it take me to kill this pot of plant – hahah!  So when [...]

Remembrance Day @ Our Home

Posted by Trendy Chick on November 8th, 2010

Remembrance Day is a huge deal at our home – because our extended family are in the army and some are also veterans.  My kids’ godfather is still in Iraq – serving the country, so to prepare for Remembrance day – we decorated our home with some ideas found on the internet.  Nothing spectacular – [...]

Digital Scale For Home

Posted by Trendy Chick on November 6th, 2010

We are throwing away our bathroom scale for this high tech digital scale that is only about $40 – to begin with.  We have bought many scales in the past – cheaper ones – but they either don’t give the accurate weight – or they break down on you.  This one is almost like the [...]

Feeding The Deers

Posted by Trendy Chick on November 6th, 2010

We got ready to feed the deers around our neighborhood – for the winter. We’ve spotted some and didn’t want them to come tramping into our backyard.  If you think they are lots of apples – then you are wrong – the deers go thru’ them in no time. Deers are practically vegetarian – if [...]
