Nodding Off

Allow me to be honest and truthful here about aging, and that is: it sucks! I have nothing against it, and I'm embraced it gracefully. The only exception that tags along with growing old is: I'm not thrill about the pain/ache and tiresome.

Using Miracle-Gro For Curb Appeal

This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine.

My front law is a shame to say the least, since the two gigantic evergreen trees taking up all the sun, and pine needles cover the entire surface of it. Nothing seems to grow, not even grass! I carve out a little area along the side of my porch to plant flowers, and have bought flowers that particular suited this area.

They grew, but wimpy and withered right after the first year. Part of the soil is clay, and part of it is mostly roots from the giant trees. I'm hoping with Miracle-Gro: Expand ‘n Gro™, I will get this area to produce some wonderful flowers this year. This Concentrated Planting Mix will help the soil to retain 50% more water, feed up to 6 months, significantly improve the soil for years, and flowers grow three times bigger for the beautiful curb appeal that I am after for so long already.

Spring is officially here now; time to be outside, enjoying the sun shine, and working in the garden. My plan for this year is to find flowers that bloom from July, August through September, as these months seem to have fewer flowers to see around here.

Bottle Brush Flowers

Bottle Brush Flowers Against Blue Sky

Back in November 2011, I had a chance to visit my sister's home in Santa Barbara for a short two nights and one day stay before going on our cruise trip vacation. In her back yard, she has this huge bush of bottle brush flowers, and I was amazed with their beauty.

Working Under Pressure

During a conversation with other parents on JoJo's soccer team, the majority of these people admitted that their lives are so busy with many different activities from their kids, but they would also feel lost without having these activities to do.

View Around My Temporary Dwelling

My Hummingbird

If you look really close, you would see a hummingbird by these purple flowers branch. It was the only decent photo of the hummingbird that I stalked after every chance I had. It teased me mercilessly the entire time I was there.

Feed Your Lawn With Scotts Snap Spreader System

This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine.

We have an unusual warm weather this week, and sign of spring is everywhere. All the trees are growing leaves and buds. Up high, the birds and squirrels are busy building their nests by collecting the right materials for their dwelling.

Down in the garden, I am seeing young shoots of hyacinth flowers, tulips, and daffodils pushing through the dirt. Spring is definitely coming, and on my list of things to do this year is taking care of my lawn by feeding it with Scotts® Snap® Spreader System.

My lawn care provider cuts the grass, and trims the edges but he doesn't fertilize or feed it. With Scotts Snap Spreader System, I can do this on my own. The Snap Pac fits right into the Spreader without the need for cutting, pouring, carrying or messy and waste. It also automatically adjusts the flow, and seals itself when done for storage.

Watch this short video below and see for yourself how easy it is to care for your lawn.



Now, go to Snap perks on Facebook and "like" to enter for a chance to win amazing prizes!
After a long winter with so much rain, my lawn sure needs a little tender loving care. If I can do it, so could you with this Spreader System.

Los Angeles Airport At Night

Around Los Angeles Airport

Arriving at midnight, Los Angeles time, which meant 3:00 o'clock Michigan time, we were ragged, but quickly collected our luggage and waited out by the curve for our shuttle. Yet, we sat there in the middle of the night, with two little boys, JoJo and Roco, but everyone was too tired to talk or to even ooh and aah at the scenery.

A Change Of Heart

We all have dream, big and small, good and bad, but what is our dream made off? Is it a desire to see success, to have a better life, to achieve our wish and want? For few lucky people their dream comes true on sheer fluke, but for others they must constantly work on making their dream come to life!

Consider Storage Unit For Extra Space

Storage woes could very well be a troubling headache if not handled appropriately as there could be lots of clearing up, packing and allocation of space to be dealt with. Self storage units are a good solution to these problems as they allow you the flexibility to decide how much, when and where you’d prefer to store your goods. Searching for these services has been simplified with the application of technology in commerce and businesses. A simple search online would yield you lots of results and you could narrow down your search to those services in your vicinity. One such company would be Uncle Bob’s Self Storage.

With storage warehouses spanning the entire country, you should be able to find one near you. The best thing is that the company caters to a wide range of needs and there should definitely be something for you regardless of whether you’re searching for a small unit to store your extra stuff , or if you’re looking for a parking space for your trailer, car or truck and even climate control storage in order to keep your valuables safe from damp and mould. Climate controlled storages are especially useful if your stuff requires a controlled environment in order to remain pristine and well-kept. These units are kept cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Therefore they’re also ideal for you if you need to visit your storage unit often as the climate is always controlled to never be freezing cold or stifling hot. Rental is easy and you can start and stop at your own flexibility thus making your planning and scheduling much easier since you just have to hand over the key once you’re done using the space.
