Looking for a bed?

Matt and I have been thinking about new bedroom furniture. We both would like to get a traditional sleigh bed with a stain wood finish and there is a really nice one on this site. They also have some really cool kid bedroom furniture too. Looking for quality child bedroom furniture is a little more difficult I think because you do not know what their taste are going to be like.

Halloween Pranks

If your neighborhood is like mine you have a couple of kids that always get carried away with the Halloween pranks.  I found some helpful tips on how to minimize your chances of getting pranked this season.  The number rule on this and frankly is common sense just be nice to people.  You can get more flies with honey than with vinegar, as my Mom says.  Have fun and give good treats.  Just think back when you were a kid.

Christmas Lights

Christmas is almost here and you know Christmas is my favorite holiday. Last year when we took the tree out and all of the lights we realized that most of our lights did not work. We ran out to get more lights and Matt suggested we get the LED Christmas lights instead of the regular ones. I was a little hesitant because I was not sure if they would be the same as the traditional lights.

I was so happy we did, not only were they brighter but they did not get hot like the old ones do. Then we found out that just like the compact light bulbs we use for our everyday lights these also save on your electric bill.

Tonight is party night

Hope everyone has those costumes ready because tonight is the night that most of the Halloween parties are going on.  It really sucks because Halloween is on a Wednesday this year.  I have all of the stuff for my costume so I am all set.  I hope you had fun making or buying yours.  Send me a pic of your all dressed up and I will post them on here.  Have fun and above all be safe.
