When we had the long winter in 2017/2018, I was dying for Summer, I couldn't wait. I am really appreciating Summer. It was cold too long this past winter. It seemed as if Summer would ever get here. And at last it is, and even though the humidity here in Massachusetts, speaking for myself was unbearable. I am not kidding, it was horrible, and it was probably due to the fact that we had only one air conditioner, this year we have 3. The best rated HVAC repair in Northern Virginia provides proper maintenance and repair of our heating & air-conditioning systems. I grew up in California, I was used to central A/C, spoiled a bit? Oh yes indeed. I truly have grown to appreciate a lot in my life, and where I live. So many people take so much for granted, even me at times. Apart from all that. I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. Oh Continue Reading
We had a White Christmas, sorta!
I have always wanted to have a White Christmas, the fact we got some early snow this year I had high hopes. Christmas Eve comes along, no snow! I was bummed but thought okay next year. So when I wake up Christmas morning. My honey tells me, you might want to look outside!! I was, huh? What are you talking about? All confused right? I look through the curtain and right away I see it is SNOWING!! I thought OMG OMG we are having a White Christmas after all. I didn't take any pictures of the snow and all trust me I will bomb you with those later, but I am sharing the little white Christmas tree from Dollar Tree I had in my room, cute right :) A few days prior while shopping, it was snowing and they flakes were big. My honey says "It may not stick, the flakes are too big", he was right, it stopped snowing and yeah we had a little slush Continue Reading
It’s Fall Ya’ll, Finally!
I was beginning to wonder when Fall would actually hit us here in Massachusetts, at least where we are. And yes it is here, it is cold and my hands are drying up faster now. I have to continuously moisturize them or they can get bad, same with my legs and arms. This is our first Fall in our new home, it is so super exciting. We get lots and lots of leaves fall in the backyard, my honey mows them up and throws them into the little forest behind us. We did see what it was like during the Winter as we got the end of Winter time here. It was very deceiving, the yard is much bigger than it looks. It is one of those illusion type things lol. What do I have to share with you? Not a whole lot! Doing the YouTube thing so I will share a few videos with you. I did a little DIY I did recently to cover the back of my chair, it is what I call a Continue Reading
Birthdays, Shopping, Holidays ~ WOW!!
We not only have the holidays rolling in but birthdays as well. My moms birthday was last week. I didn't feel much like posting about it, I have done it every year whether it be for the day or a day or week after. So here I am again. Missing my mom like crazy. I have missed out on having a mom for a lot of special occasions. But you know what I realized just a few minutes ago. My mom is seriously in a better place. Regardless of what anyone says or thinks or believes. She is in heaven with our father God. And because she is there, she is not here where the world is truly going to shit. I hate even talking about this in the same breath as talking about my mom. But the world is really crazy, and I don't see it let up anytime soon. I would hate my mom Rest her soul, to be here and be subjected to all the bullshit we are dealing with. I Continue Reading
Hollar & Dollar1 Hauls – Are they worth it?
I like to save money where ever I can, using coupons, buying online, and I do both happily. I have been buying from Dollar1.com and hollar.com for a few months now. I am really happy with my purchases. I have received broken items from Hollar before, and they gladly replace it with no hassle. In my recent purchase from Dollar1.com, I bought some EOS lip balms for $1 each. Now that is a fantastic deal, however, upon opening the sweet mint I detected a stale smell which I was not happy with. I have emailed dollar1.com and hope to have my money returned or the item replaced, I doubt the item will be replaced because they are no longer on the website. As I am sure they get the items before the due date and try to quickly sell them out, which they do. The expiration date on the packaging states 2017/10 so in essence, it is still good, but the Continue Reading
