Lilly the Ladybug From Zoobies.com

As a blogger, one of the activities that I did this month was sending a pitch letter to companies. I made 15 pitch letters and all companies replied positive. I was overwhelmed! First product that arrived on our doorstep was from Zoobies.com and boy, I am like a child. I was thrilled and loving their stuff toy. What was surprising for me was their stuff toys have a dual purpose. It is a toy and a blanket. Moms and dads, you should get this toy for your children. See the face of my niece? She was so happy isn't she? She lives in U.K. and because she is doing well in school, I thought Lily the Ladybug is a good companion when she is doing a homework.

I am a child at heart and a stuff toy like this truly melts my heart. Look at the face of Lily the Ladybug, isn't it cute? Much as I wanted to keep this for myself, there is a pretty face in UK who is waiting for Lily's arrival hehehe. I am so glad that I send Lily to her because look at that angelic face, I can almost hear her giggling and laughing. You bring so much joy Lily the ladybug (wink).

Would I recommend this item? Sure! If you want to buy any product at Zoobies.com, you will get a 20% discount if you use the code: Parenthood. Check out my review and giveaway post of Lily the Ladybug: HERE. Thanks for stopping by.

Store for High Strength Fastener and Structural Bolts

Few months ago, my husband and I drove down to Tampa, Florida for a short road trip. It was a cloudy day but, the view of the places we passed by was gorgeous. Then, we drove to a beautiful and artistic bridge which has a France-inspired design. That bridge was actually rated as #3 "Top 10 Bridges" in the World by Travel Channel and is considered as the "flag bridge" of Florida.

Bridges are awesome structures. They are built to span the obstacle of a valley, a body of water and sometimes, could be road. It is built with a huge purpose of providing passage over the physical obstacles.

The design of these bridges depends on the function of the bridge. The material used to make a bridge alvo vary significantly. Baco Enterprises Inc is a company that provides high strength fasteners and structural bolts. Bridges are constructed of steel and concrete. The bridge that I mentioned above have 21 steel cables and clad in nine-inch steel tubes along the center line of the bridge which supports the structure. It was a very beautiful bridge and I bet, it uses thousands of Turnbuckle Assemblies, nuts, bolts, wire bolts and more.

Fix Your Leaning Mailbox, Neighbor

Mailbox is part of the outdoor landscape that homeowners should not take for granted. The property value of a house will definitely go up a notch when the outdoor landscape is beautiful and well-maintained. Curb appeal is very important as well as the look of the streetside mailboxes in the neighborhood. During the 6 months period of our home searching and home buying escapades, we usually look at the neighborhood and if we see trash cans scattered in the yard, grasses not cut for weeks and mailboxes are leaning to the ground, we refused to see the property right away.

We have seen beautiful properties that were newly renovated and the outdoor yard is fantastic but, we always consider the next door property and the whole neighborhood. Was the house worth buying for? If the neighborhood does not care about the appearance of their street and the neighborhood, the home property value in that area will be greatly affected.

I just do not see why some homeowners cannot fix their mailboxes. A mailbox is neither expensive nor hard to install. My husband and I put up our own mailbox and it's easy. To make the neighborhood happy and fun to live, each one of the homeowners should take care of their own yard and make sure that little detail such as the mailbox should not be taken for granted.

Red Wing Boots

One of my friends here loves to collect designer shoes and he took care of his collection immaculately. I told him to give me one pair of shoes that he is willing to give away for donation. He took a deep breath and handed me his red wing boots.

I could tell that the boots is quality made and durable because it is still in good condition despite using them for years. He said it is very comfortable and sad to let go but, he wanted to donate something that the recipient will be happy to wear. Good point huh?

Biplane Rides for Thrill Seekers

Just a minute away from the house, thrill seekers can avail a helicopter ride for an affordable price. A biplane ride is available as well. I would love to experience the thrill and adventure of flying in an open cockpit biplane but, when I saw it up close, fear dawned on me. I guess it will be the greatest adventure that I would have to risk.

For every successful air flights, we should credit them to the Aerospace Engineering. They are the ones that keep everything safer for us to use. The speed of the aircraft is in accordance with the types of motors used. That is why some of these biplanes can make a loop in the sky. That's just spectacular!

I can only imagine myself having to enjoy the scenic rides across the beaches and the incredible scenic routes along Florida's space coast. They even offer a sunset watch which I think is a romantic escapade. Oh well, since I am scared ... I will just enjoy my paragliding Soarin' ride at Disney, the only thrill that I can ride without fear.

The thought of accidents may happen scare me to the bone. Safety precautions are seriously observed in this place but, accidents do happen in a risky activity like this. It's funny to admit but, I am "chicken".

Leather Belts and Buckles

I sent jumbo Balikbayan boxes in the Philippines and most of the contents are US made products, non-perishable foods, clothing and foot wear. Some of the clothing in the box was donated by my friends for the Washi flood victims and few of the clothes are new with name brand products. One of my friends donated some pairs of footwear and one nice shoes stands out because it has fancy Boot Tips. I really do not know who got those shoes but, since it was donated, I am sure the person will going to love it.

Anyway, I still have 2 boxes right now for my mom and brother. My brother loves wearing designer jeans and clothing's. He was asking for a good quality leather belt with huge unique buckle. I still have to find it because big buckles are hard to find especially the design that he wanted me to find. I need to check out a special store for that.

If you click on the links above, I already browse on their buckle collections. I certainly love their designs especially the eagle on the USA flag. I will share this Website to my brother and hoping that this time, he will find the buckle that he like so much.

Equestrian Products in New York

Just few days ago, I was watching a TV show about unique property and one property is truly amazing. It is a 300+ acres property showcasing different parts of the area that cater for expensive horses and people who loves horses. The place is beautiful and it is like an oasis. They showed the huge stables and the trail riding area. Each owner of the horses can enjoy horseback riding in a huge area for himself.

Christmas Gifts

Christmas is less than three weeks and I am really excited. I have been shopping online and every time the doorbell rang, I have a package. In fact, I received two big boxes from FedEx today. The big box is my Christmas gift for hubby but, he was very curious and asked me if he can open it. Well, I let him open it and he is already using the gift that I bought for him. Now, I have to find another gift for him and I am hoping that it will arrive before Christmas.

Anyway, I am still shopping for items which are inexpensive but, nice to give as presents. I saw a website called TeaCollection.com and this online shop has a selection of holiday gifts for less than $25. I like the leg warmers and the knit hat which I think my niece would love to have for Christmas. My nephew is a smart kid and I also find an educational gift for him. He loves board games as well as toys that he can manipulate and learn. I think the CitiBlocs are the best gift that I can give for him and I am sure he will love it.

IKEA Home Furnishings: Restaurant

It is always good to shop when your stomach is not growling for food right? At IKEA Home Furnishings, shooping and food is a good combination. Here is a North Atlantic Saithe crusted white fish served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. This is only $4.99 and my husband likes it especially the fish.Here is the half-rack baby back ribs with fries and corn bread. It is priced at 6.99 and if this is my plate, I can't finish it all. This portion is for big guys so, I think I only ordered this meal once. The ribs are so delicious. Sometimes, IKEA gives FREE breakfast and usually, this particular meal: scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes.
Honestly, I enjoyed the food in the restaurant but, I am more excited in window shopping. The display of their interior home design is totally awesome. You should visit IKEA store near your neighborhood. When you are tired roaming the second floor, you can check out the Exit Cafe and Bistro and have a bite of their affordable hotdogs, pizzas and chips.

The Big and Tall

I know someone who is big and tall and his clothing fashion is not bad at all. One time, I saw him play the tennis and he looks very confident in the court. My friend told me that most of his clothes were purchased online. He does not like to shop in the mall because some people stare at him like crazy. In the mall, the selection of clothing in his size is also limited. Shopping online gives him the freedom to shop according to his available time.

I Told You So

Guest written by our friend Trent Horton:

I’m only a hard day’s work away from a relaxing, exciting night with friends. I’ve paid the bills, researched Reliant Texas Electricity Provider for a better rate on our power (Matt’s gonna be so proud), and swept and mopped the floors. At 5PM today, we’re leaving to head to the fair in Houston for a night of fun with friends. Matt has been asking me for years to go – The Charlie Daniels Band is supposed to be playing and he’s obsessed. I have put it off and put it off, but now we actually have a free night while they’re here, so we’re grabbing our jackets and headin’ to the county fair! I grumped about it at first, but now and a little excited about funnel cakes, fried pies, cotton candy, and maybe a ferris wheel ride. That should probably happen before the fried pies, huh? And, if you won’t tell anyone, I’m slightly excited about seeing The Charlie Daniels Band, too. But let’s just keep that one between you and me. Matt’s reeeeeal good at “I told you so”.

I have known about NMEDA in my twitter account. This company is a non-profit trade association which educate consumers to only buy products from a NMEDA qualified dealer. They do not sell anything but, they promote safe driving and safe equipment for disabled people. This company is a non-profit and all their members are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. All the NMEDA dealers are the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for the disabled. The disability of a person is not the same. That is why, this company is trying to inform each family to be careful in buying a wheelchair. NMEDA dealers will conduct an “in-person” evaluation, so you can be sure that you are getting the right driving solution. If you get a customized wheelchair that fits your specific lifestyle and needs would be great, right?Remember that with NMEDA, they have dealers and quality assurance program dealers too. The Quality Assurance Program or QAP is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry.

Affordable Eyeglasses at Zenni

I already made an appointment to my eye doctor next week because my eyes are always misty which is not normal. I also noticed that when I am reading, the letters become blurry but when I move back in few inches, the letters become clearer. I guess I am ready to wear eyeglasses because there is a need for me to protect my eyes. Every day, I used computers and I love reading so; the best way to protect my eye is to consult my eye doctor. I am not worried about the price of eyeglasses because of this article that I read earlier. If you are planning to buy eyeglasses, read http://www.examiner.com/x-28795-Brooklyn-Liberal-Examiner~y2009m11d13-Cheap-eyeglasses-are-a-reality-Check-out-Erics-review-of-Zenni-Optical before purchasing your eyewear.

Sending Postcards

I just mailed my package to my sister in UK yesterday and saw some postcards for sale in the post office. It reminded me that there was a time in my life that I love receiving it and I even save the date postcards. It gives me an idea and historic background of the places where my friends and family lives. Isn't it wonderful to send your friends a postcard that you can actually design for yourselves? It is indeed possible in this generation because there are so many software"s available online. Aside from that, online access to a company that offers such kind of business is just a touch of a finger. I do prefer personalized postcards because I can elaborate more about it.If you went for a vacation or there are important occasions, you can make a postcard out of it and send it to your family and friends. Sending a postcard is less hassle too and choosing a design is not a problem at all. If you will do it online, it is more convenient and the printing is always accessible. I am planning to send postcards for Easter celebration and I bet my friends and family will appreciate it.
