I would love to buy something like this for the lawn for Christmas decor but at $25 a pop  – now that’s too much I’ll have to say!  darn! i should have bought more stuff during the craft show at the Rodd Grand Hotel this year.  I can understand that they are hand painted at [...]

This was the first time I attended the Annual Craft show in this town – and boy!  I surely missed all the fun stuff.  I didn’t expect so many crafts on sale here – so I wasn’t really planning to buy a lot plus the weather was terrible the day I went.  Hopefully, next year [...]

Lawn decor for Christmas is now in session – we are taking out stuff – getting ready to decorate the lawn once Remembrance Day is over.  As a show of respect – we never decorate before Remembrance Day.   This year – I hope we can get all the stuff out before the end of November [...]

So I’ve always wanted a swing set for my kids – just like this one – when they were younger.  Back then – they didn’t have online yardsale – so you won’t know who is selling off their home made swing set like now.  When I saw this selling for $250 – I thought of [...]

We love spending time outdoors when the summer arrives and because the weather can turn harsh and raining even before winter – it is a great way to buy a foldaway table and chairs for our outdoors picnic and eating.

The spouse’s family love their cigars a lot – so when they got another box of  black & mild cigars – the kids were eying on the cigar boxes left in the basement – and one of them had an idea – on what their grandfather can turn those empty cigar boxes into.  So a [...]

I saw this nice water fountain from Canadian Tire the other day and was so tempted to buy it.  Not only is it affordable – I like the way it looked.  Simple and nice – and the water is flowing in for Feng Shui reasons.  Plus it shouldn’t be too, too hard to clean this [...]

Preparing for a whole 2 months of summer with the kids isn’t really that easy – that’s for sure.  We will be doing a bit of traveling of course – whats a summer without some vacation and swimming in the pool right?  Are you excited yet?  I am !  I can’t wait to spend some [...]

I definitely need a rain gutter if I want a garden around the house or just to plant a flower bed around the house but of course, the spouse don’t see it this way since he doesn’t think we need more gardening done around the house.  I do agree with him at times – because [...]
