My Friend LOVES Disney Vacations!

I have this friend. She is about 35 years old, pretty normal and with a normal office job. However she is absolutely in love with anything Disney.... And I mean anything!

She saves her hard earned cash and uses it all on Disney vacations every year. I know if she had her way she would live in Disney World with a vacation home in Disney Land!

I have no idea how she became so obsessive but I do understand that visiting the Disney parks can be very fun for kids and adults alike!

What do you think of Disney?

Carrying Babies is Hard Work!!!

I don't have a kid of my own but I recently was helping someone out and carrying their baby around in my arms for a while. It's hard to carry that little human around!

In fact I see many parents around here carrying their babies on one shoulder. It looks cool and I am sure the baby loves being up there but I bet it gives you shoulder ache in the long run.

I never had thought about it before but carrying that little weight around with you all day may not be the greatest thing for your energy levels. Luckily I did not have to carry for too long and they have an ergo baby carrier that fit nicely and was comfortable for them.... Really makes the job easier.

Have you considered home schooling with a twist?

The idea of learning from home has been around for centuries but since the Internet has taken hold it's given opportunity for learning at home to really be elevated.

Have you ever considered online schools as an alternative to actually going to college itself?

I know many people that have gone to schools online (just had a person stay with us for 3 months whilst completing her degree online) and have come out with successful and legitimate qualifications. In fact many of the top schools now offer online options.

What do you think of learning online?

Have you ever shopped at Buy.com?

Buy.com first came to my attention when they started showing the Howie Mandel fronted ads last year or so. I don't think they use Howie anymore but I still swing by buy.com to see what deals they have going on.

They have most electronic and computer equipment you could want at pretty decent prices (sometimes the best prices) and they deliver USA wide.

It's also worth checking out there weekly deals for the best deals to be had. For example this week they have an awesome 21.5" Samsung LCD Display for just $153 new and $150 refurbished.

Anyway I was just wandering what you guys think of them and if you have used them to buy any items before?

Talk soon,

Make that muddy hole in the backyard look good!

A lot of people have ponds in their gardens. Sadly though many of these are just holes dug in the mud, roughly lined and then filled with water.... They look like little puddles left after heavy rain!

I suggest you dig up that pond again, properly line it and get some nice pond plants to build a little live eco-system. I love seeing fish in ponds too but you may have to put some light gauze over it to stop the local cats eating all your fish! Especially if you plan for some expensive ones!

What have you done with your pond?

Fraud stopping wallets!!

The more technology is used, the more advanced the theft from our day to day lives seems to get! Credit cards now have little RFID chips that apparently can be read even whilst in your wallet... Meaning techno-thieves can theoretically steal from you with out you ever knowing!

So when I heard about a new rfid blocking wallet I thought it was a pretty decent idea!

Basically these wallets block any signals stealing info from your cards, pretty neat eh?

What do you think about all this technology and the theft it allows? Are we just all over reacting?

Everything but the kitchen sink!!

It's very easy when redesigning anywhere in your home to forget little details. If you redo your kitchen but don't pay special attention to things like the kitchen sink and door handles you may end up with a few ugly unpractical features ruining the whole thing!

So pay attention to the details! I love some of the sinks you can buy now and it's super easy with ranges such as the Kohler kitchen sink to bring a touch of high class to your new kitchen.


What kind of sink do you like?
