Take a Warm Vacation
Feb 18th
This is a sponsored post
This winter has not been extremely cold in the US, it truly has been a very mild winter. That is good news but if you are like me I am tired of winter time and having to stay in the house. I was trying to think of somewhere to go, to get away from it all, for a while and Hawaii came to mind. Hawaii is beautiful anytime of the year with its clear blue water, warm sandy beaches and festivity everywhere.
I started searching online for places to go in Hawaii and Kauai looked like fun. More >
Raising Organic Foods
Feb 7th
Have you ever considered raising your own organic foods? Are you tired of purchasing foods at the store which are full of pesticides and other toxins? With spring coming in the next few months it might be a great time to consider raising your own food. Organically grown food at home taste better and is better for you. If you have not grown your own foods before you may consider starting off small. Start by planning a small garden space in your backyard. Make sure to use clean organic soil and try to fertilize with natural or organic fertilizers. You More >
Taking the kids to see Billy Elliot on tour
Feb 4th
Guest post written by Carol Brighton
It’s a little funny how when I talk about my kids, I’m referring to my twenty something grown children. But I guess that it’s just a habit to keep on calling them your kids no matter what. When they were younger, it used to be like pulling teeth to get them to go to museums or go and see plays. But now they suggest going and doing that stuff all of the time. p>
My daughter let me know a while back that Billy Elliot was going to be touring near us, so we decided that More >

Having a Choice
Jan 2nd
Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell
My job transferred me to New York last year, and my family was really bummed that we had to leave our home in Atlanta. I knew we had to go because it was such a great opportunity for me, and I knew the kids would get used to it. When we were choosing a house I looked up New York Electricity Rates so that I could gauge what our expenses would be each month. I found that I could actually shop around for the best rates, which I found really interesting. It’s great how our More >
All I Want For Christmas Is To See
Dec 21st
If you are like most people, as you age your sight seems to diminish more and more. You may be like me and wish your Christmas present would include better vision. Since that is probably not going to happen then the next best thing is to get a nice pair of eyeglasses. The only problem is eyeglasses are expensive and once you purchase them you are stuck. It is not safe or healthy not being able to see well. This is a real problem especially if you are purchasing glasses for someone in your family as a Christmas present. Well, More >
Do Not Forget Your Meds
Dec 13th
As we age it seems as if we have to take more and more medications. It is hard to get around this fact even if you live a healthy lifestyle and take care of yourself. Some meds may be able to be skipped, if you must, while others should not be. Knowing this is very important if you plan to take your medications with you when you travel. It is important to plan ahead and have your medications filled when planning your trip. This is especially true if you are traveling around the holidays as many pharmacies may be closed More >
Preparing for Holiday Travel
Dec 2nd
The Christmas and New Year holidays are just around corner which means a lot of people will be traveling to see friends and family. If you are planning to travel during the holidays by automobile then it is time to get it prepared before leaving for your trip. Make sure your automobile is in good working order and have normal maintenance completed before you leave. It is a good idea to change the oil and oil filter as well as having the engine tuned up. Make sure your tires are inflated to the proper pressure recommended by the manufacturer.

Help Your Favorite Vendors Get Serious With Lighting
Nov 30th
Electric lights in the past have traditionally used a significant amount of power. We are so attached to lighting; the chance of using a smaller number of light producing appliances is not very great. As people spend more time indoors or at outside events, more lighting will be required. Now for the good news, you can help do something about cutting the amount of power these lights will use. You probably have replaced your lighting in your home with energy saving light bulbs such as fluorescent or LED. This is the first step to becoming more environmentally friendly with the More >
Shop Green
Nov 23rd
The holidays are here and it is time to go shopping. Are you planning to shop Green this year? There is nothing wrong with being eco-friendly while shopping for Christmas gifts. When you go shopping try to imagine what type of effect the present you are purchasing will have on the environment. Try to purchase products which have the least amount of packaging materials to be disposed of. Use reusable shopping bags as much as possible when shopping for Christmas presents as well.
Think about presents you can purchase which are made from renewable materials. These may include wooden, metal, plastic More >
