Cute Pencils

Below are the cute pencils that I have in my husband's mug, I used it as a pencil holder hehehe.  I bought the one with disney characters a couple of years ago for  Ms. Burrito but she never used it.    The aqua characters were given to me by  a thoughtful online friend, Mel of  Heart content of a Mama".  The one with anime character was from Korea.

Wishing you a great weekend everyone!  Please join us at Ms. Burrito's blog for Color Connection tomorrow.

Best Brand Shoes

I have mentioned on my other site that hubby bought us a pair of running shoes online.  The very first pair of shoes he bought me when I came here in the states is six years old already, it still look good but  hubby bought me one because he found a great deal  when he was browsing online last week.  The UPS guy delivered it  at our front door yesterday and I love it!

If you are looking for the best brand of shoes and want to buy 80 20 shoes or buy cordani shoes, the  perfect website to check out is Best Brand Shoes.  They have different branded shoes that you can choose from at a fair price.  Some of their  best brands include Adidas, UGG, Born, Clark, Amiana, Charles David and more.

If you are fan of Paris Hilton, you can buy paris hilton shoes at the site.  They have   different styles and designs.  Above photos are just some of the ones I like.  So if you want to sport a shoe like Paris Hilton does,  the selections at Best Brand Shoes  are  the perfect ones for you.  You can also Buy Charles David just like the one below.  It's a  stylish one to wear on summer.  

A Personal Note

I really like my daughter's school. It is a small community so there's a special bonding between teachers, students, and parents.  You can tell how much teacher care for your child when you visit them in the classroom.

Ms. Burrito's teacher sent this  personal note of thanks to us a couple of weeks ago.  I thought that was very special and sweet of her.

She even included our son in the note.   She knows him when we  used to send Ms. Burrito  to her classroom.

Impatiens

Took a shot of my SIL pretty impatiens. These beauties are sometimes called busy lizzie. This kind of flower comes in different colors white, pink, rose, orange, scarlet, burgundy, and violet, with many bicolored variants

We are going for a little nature trekking  friends so I will try to visit back tonight.

Yellow Roses

Here's the yellow roses at my garden.  It has a  light pink at the end of of its petals.

 I dunno if it's due to the rain that  it's getting  some kind of disease around the edges pr  some kind of bugs is infecting it.

I just love roses, good thing every time I plant one, it lives.

The Health Directory

We all have health and wellness questions from time to time, especially those of us with children.  The internet has made it easy and convenient to get instant answers to all of our health concerns, but one must know which sites offer the most up-to-date and reliable health-related information.  The Health Directory offers a one-stop research resource to address any health-related issue you may have on your mind.

A Fitness Directory is also available for those trying to get in shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle.  If you've set your sights on losing a few dress sizes and getting into the best shape of your life, simply click on one of the helpful links provided.  The Health and Wellness Directory is one of the most extensive resources available to address all of your health and wellness needs.

Juicers

I picked up some black raspberries when we visited my SIL.  Her raspberries are now starting to ripe.  She said that she already have some in the freezer.  She makes them into jam and jelly.  She also has other fruits in her big backyard like pears, strawberries  and cherries.  Our apple on the other hand is not doing so well.  I don't think it will bear fruit this year because it did not bore flowers.  I would like to be able to learn how to make juice out of fresh  fruits.  

I remember last year, my father-in-law and my daughter made some tomato juice using his   old timer juicer.  I browsed some Popular Juicers online and I found so many different kinds with unique different features.  The Breville JE900 is really nice but I think that my favorite one is this Breville JE95XL, a two speed juice fountain plus.  It is on sale at Amazon but I  can't buy it right now since I don't have budget for it.  Maybe next time, besides I still have to learn how.  

My SIL taught me how to  make wilted lettuce yesterday.  Yeah I know, some of you might rolled your eyes but I don't have any idea about this kind of stuff so I am trying to explore.  At  least I am trying to learn here hehehe and   I think, that is what's important right?  Anyhow, if you guys are looking for a good juicer for this  summer or for any  season for that matter,  just please visit the links I have provided above.

I really want to learn how to extract juice from the fruit.  Sometime soon, maybe.  When you have the resources/gadgets already, I think that it won't be so hard to learn how to do it.  Don't you agree?

Peeking Through

These shots were taken when we went t for a walk last week.

 The sun was shining bright as  it setting down.

I love it when the sun is peeking through the view of the woods or clouds.

Have a great weekend ahead everyone!

RubbeRecycle

If you are looking for an eco-friendly mulch to add  in your landscaping project, you might want to consider the rubber mulch.  It is made from rubber that are recycled into rubber chunks which gives a pretty color in your yard.  I was going to buy this kind but then it wasn't on my price range so I chose a different one.  I would like to try it though, maybe some other time when I can afford for it already lol.

Your plants  will surely pop out when you add rubber mulch which are available in different shades.  So you have plenty of selection to choose from.  You can definitely get that one that  would greatly accentuate your yard.  You can check out the different selections at RubbeRecycle website.

My husband is  planning to call our contractor tomorrow to see what is the timeline they have in renovating our porch.  I can't wait till they start because I still have to transfer my roses.  I don't want them to start  during the time that we are on our getaway as I will lose my roses.

Anyhow, I am glad that I am done (for now) transferring my plants from the front to our backyard.  I got to do and rearrange our stuff inside the house.  We are planning to have a BBQ  on my daughter's  birthday so I have to clean, clean, and clean hahaha.  Good night everyone!

Free Life Term Quote

When my husband retired from the Navy last year, he browse around for life insurance quotes.  He ended up  purchasing a 30 year term life insurance from a company that offered him the best  deal.  He was given a through  physical examination here at home and  he had to submit   his latest medical  reports.  There are companies who doesn't requires astringent physical exam but he choose this one company because he trust them.  

Before he settled for the one he has now, he  looked and requested several term life insurance quotes to see  which coverage will give him the best deal.  You can do that too by  visiting any of the links above.  It's better to shop around  first before  deciding to buy an insurance because there are so many out there  to choose from.  Comparing the quotes will give you the edge  on deciding which is better.

Light Purple Clematis

The color of the clematis I have in my garden is bluish purple.  Below is a photo of it.

I'd love to have other colors like this one that both my SILs Chris and Jill have.

Very pretty isn't it?

Cash Generator

If you are planning to purchase a franchise and needed some  cash to start with, you may check out Cash Generator franchise at the Buy & Sell Store, the Cash Generator.  Franchising is a good business venture but  you sure needs a lot of cash to start.  This UK-based  company has been helping   entrepreneur  realized their dream of  having a franchise business through Franchise exhibition.

It would be so nice to own a franchise isn't it?  But in order to  succeed into this kind of business venture, you have to be really focus on how you are going to handle your  business effectively.  I used to dream of having a franchise of food chain at our town back in my country because there is no big food chain there yet.  All you can find in town is  small  owned restaurants or we call it turo-turo.    My dream vanished however when I met my husband and  came here instead.  Maybe someday!

Please check out the website if you want to learn more about franchising and how you could avail with  what Cash Gereator is offering.  Just click the link above and it will redirect you to their website for more detailed information.

Debt Relief

I read an interesting article about debt relief order online.  Debt relief order or DRO is an alternative option to bankruptcy.  If you are living in England and Wales, you might want to check out the  free services that Baines and Ernst are offering.  So if you live in the said places above and you are unable to repay your debts, you might want  to consider this option.

Being in debt is a lot of stress.  I know because I  am stressed out right now lol.  The load that we have  for the porch renovation is starting to accumulate interest and  it's driving me crazy that  the construction  did not even started yet but we already paid almost $90 dollars of interest, ouch!  Now, I have to look for  a credit card that offers a  0% balance transfer so I could transfer some of the amount on our existing loan.

Oh well, that's the price you pay when you are a home owner.  You have to shell out cash  for home improvement unlike when you are renting because  all the maintenance are being  shouldered by the  owner.  For some  having debt is just normal, for me it's a lot of STRESS and SLEEPLESS nights lol!  

Cold Pack

 Every time the kids wants to do some crafts, Dollar Tree is our store.  Their products are not that high quality but it's worth for the kids enjoyment.  They have many neat stuff that you can buy  for a buck.

 I bought this cold pack that is fish in shape and Mr. Burrito asks for it every time  he gets  a shiner  from playing lol.

I did not buy the styrofoam products but I thought of taking pictures because they're very colorful.

Profitable Affiliate Network

Last year, I earn a little bit of  money from an affiliate program that I have joined but  when 2011 came, they stop the payment to me.  I think I have met the  quota already and I am not allowed to  earn  anymore.  Hmmmnn, I have never really read their terms and condition, I was just glad that I  earned a little bit every month.  I mean, they paid me $10 bucks a month  for a year which is not that much but I was happy because I wasn't doing anything to earn it anyway.  I only referred  people through their site and I guess one of the  referral I gave  earned money so they gave me my incentive.  

I have stumbled upon this Blue Global Media online and I am  curious about it.  You know blog ads  seems to be slowing down so I  am looking for something that I could do to earn aside from blogging.  But anyhow, Blue Global Media offers individuals who   are willing to venture into networking.  They have the top affiliate networks you could find.  Based from the info I have read in their website, you will get paid for every lead you made so if you have a good networking   ability, this one is a good  earning opportunity for you.  

Payday affiliate program is the common job I have seen in their list but you also have  some dating site and other  stuff where you can sign up to earn money. Their lowest pay is $5 per lead so depending on the  website you sign up for, you can earn a bit of money especially if you have a nice network.  So check out the  profitable affiliate network available Blue Global Media.

Gardening

I  have just posted in my  main blog the outcome of my gardening project.  I bought a bag of  mulch the other day to finish off the looks of the new   flower bed I have in  our back yard.  You can check it out at my main blog if you have time.  Adding a landscape mulch can really make a big difference when you want the outcome of your landscaping project to pop out.  I used the red mulch on mine because it  goes well with the bricks I used on the  other flower beds.

I love to sit in our porch swing every morning and just watch the birds enjoying the newly landscaped backyard of our humble abode.  It inspires me to browse different garden designs  online.  If you guys want to see different kinds of mulch that you can use in landscaping your yard, please visit the links I have provided above, it will lead you to Rubber Mulch  website.  I have seen this beautiful house  here in our area and their lawn is beautifully landscape, they used rubber mulch on their  garden, it is so pretty!  

Thistle and Daisy

I like the image of thistle when they are old. Even if they look dried out, they still hold a beauty in them.

Wild daisies are gorgeous too, in fact I planted some in my backyard hehehe.

Join the fun with...

Porch Renovation Update

My husband is anxiously awaiting for the contractor to give us a call.  They suppose to start on our porch renovation   on the last week of this month.  The contractor is suppose to come here  before they start to show us a selection of decorative blocks that they have to use for the walls.  They also  have to   pour a new sidewalk and steps   as replacement to our    old  structure that's starts to crumble  now.  Being as impatient that my husband is, he has been looking at some  paving stones  and other kinds of blocks, stones, and bricks online.  He wants to tell the contractor and show it to him if he comes.  

He found this drivesett tegula walling at Wickes online.  We both like it as it  will blends in with the color of the brick of our home.  I can't wait for it to  get started  either, that's one main reason why I have been busy lately transferring all my plants in front into our backyard because I did not want it to get destroyed.  Now that I am 99% done, I am ready for them to start.  Anyhow, if you are looking for any paving stones for your home or driveway, the above mentioned website have so many selections of it.

West Virginia Day

June 20  is West Virginia Day.  Below is a map of the state of WV, we live in a small city of Weirton.

I am so glad that the water problem here in Weirton was already resolved! It's the worse feeling when you do not have water.  God always  provides though, it rained the whole week while we did not have water.  So we saved  rain water to use in our comfort rooms/rest rooms/bathrooms.

Have a  safe  and lovely day everyone!

Conquer where others Fail

I have written on my other blog how disappointed I was with the recent  ranking that Google  had last month.  Two of my blogs lost it's  page ranking of 3, it is  n0w back to 0.   It is frustrating because I have several tasks that was turned down because when I wrote them, they were  in PR3 but when they checked the article, the blogs went back to PR0.  

The ads that I placed  on all my blogs did not really help in retaining the good traffic.  Finding a  company with effective  search engine optimization is vital  especially if you want to stay on top of the game  because not all advertising  agency has that.  If you really want  to experience  a maximum result or your  SEO, check out Webimax.  They offer effective search engine optimization services  where your company will stand out from competitors.  You can conquer where others fail through Webimax's help.  

If I am a big wig or I own a big company, I would probably  get their services because it would help much   when it  comes to  maximizing your result online.  But since I am  just a blogger, I would just be content of  what my source can do.

Ice Age

I gotcha! I am not talking about the movie but the the present from SIL on my birthday hehehe. Thanks a lot Chris!

It's a great addition to Ms. Burrito's plants/planter.

Have a safe weekend everyone!
