Sundials, Focal Point of Gardens

One of my favorite pastime is watch to TV at home. I am really in to detective shows such as CSI, Law and Order, Closer and Monk. One time while I was watching Monk Marathon on TV, there was an episode where Sundials was the answer to solve the crime. It took me awhile to figure that out myself. But of course the crime was solved, It was a very suspense show. Anyway, I love where they put the sundials....they were placed them on a garden and they look very pretty. Sundials are perfect decorations on gardens and patio I think....for they add beauty not only to the garden but also added appeal to the curb/front of the house as well as the yard.

I really like the brass look of the Armillary Sundial . It looks timeless and very beautiful...perfect for the flower garden on my front yard. Adding a decorative item such as this can attract more people; and if you are planning to sell your house...sundials would be a great help on your part! Sundials and Armillary sundials are sold at 1001Sundials.com; and most of them are made from brass, resin sundial, iron sundial, and aluminum sundial. Whether you like traditional brass sundial, or a more contemporary looking aluminum sundial, this online store has it. One more thing is that sundial can stand alone or on base....either way it can be a focal point of your garden.

Affordable Name Brand Sinks and Faucets

The other day while washing the dishes, I noticed that our kitchen sink has scratches on it. I didn't know how it happened! I don't remember doing anything that can ruin it, but it is there now. It seems like we will be needing a new topmount Sink. I haven't talk to hubby about replacing it yet, but I am pretty sure he would not agree that we replace it soon. Why? It is because it is brand new. We have just purchased this newly built house about nine months ago and it is too early to do any repair or replacement. But even then, I better start looking for a place that sell topmount Sinks that are affordable. I read that shopsinksandfaucets.com offers brand name faucets and sinks for lower prices with the same day shipping. It looks like I have found a place online where I can buy topmount sink for the price I can afford to pay. I am sure hubby will be very happy and he would agree that to replace our kitchen sink soon.

FTF: Ginataang Langka

I have been craving for this dish ever since I saw this photo at my cousin Facebook. But sad to say that I couldn't find raw jack fruit in any of the Asian market here in Texas. I really want to make some of this but to no avail, wahhh! Anyway, for now...I will just drool and wait till we get to the Philippines in June.

Searching for a recipe online, I found out that this dish is easy to make...thank goodness! I am not giving up looking for the raw jack fruit hoping I would find one one of these days. Okay, this is my share for this week on......

DIY Cubby Wall for the Basement

Guest post written by Samantha Rhodes

When we moved into our house, one of the things that really appealed to us was the unfinished business. I was pregnant with our first child at the time and we decided that we could finish the basement ourselves to make a play room for our future family.

Well, right after we moved in we had our son and we got caught up in being new parents instead of finishing the basement. Now that our son is 7 and our daughter is 4, we thought it would be the perfect time to finish the basement. I went online to come up with some ideas for finishing the basement and when I was online I came across some information about ClearInternet packages and after I read through it some I decided to sign up for one of the packages for our home internet service.

I got the idea to make a DIY cubby wall for the basement because we plan on keeping a lot of toys down there that would be a great storage solution.
