When your kids are little your biggest concerns are things like them walking in front of a swing at the playground, or making sure they eat their veggies. It's an entirely different set of worries as they get older though, especially if you have a child that struggles in school. Will they be able to get into college? If not, what type of work can they do? What do you do when you child just doesn't get it? Some kids have a hard a time with just one subject, some learn differently from others and some don't test well.
Coldplay - Fix You lyrics
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Lyrics | Coldplay lyrics - Fix You lyrics
I'd heard for a while that you could use our Bella Bar Gourmet Soaps for more than just bathing. I was already using them to shave with, but even though I'd heard that they could be used instead of shampoo, I really didn't think it would work on my hair.
What will you do when your hard drive crashes? My PC is getting so old. Every time I use Word or Excel it locks up. I have a new laptop, and that's what I mainly use, but yesterday my hubby needed an old quote he had sent to a client and Word just wouldn't cooperate.
"Go ahead and bellyache about blogs. But you cannot afford to close your eyes to them, because they're simply the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the Internet itself. And they're going to shake up just about every business -- including yours. It doesn't matter whether you're shipping paper clips, pork bellies, or videos of Britney in a bikini, blogs are a phenomenon that you cannot ignore, postpone, or delegate. Given the changes barreling down upon us, blogs are not a business elective. They're a prerequisite."It's even more true today, except you have to add in other areas of social networking such as Twitter and Facebook.
One of the outlet stores for a major online shoe store is just about 15 minutes from my home. I've gotten some awesome deals on name brand shoes there. I even lucked into two pairs of Keen shoes that normally run more than $70/pair, for just $10 each!
I can't imagine what it would be like to lose an entire home to a fire. I just remembering more things that were in my Jeep when it burned to the ground.
I read a post a few months ago, and unfortunately I can't remember what blog it was on, but the writer had just had her house broke into, for the third time in just a few months! She didn't live in a slum, she was in a middle income home, but the police told her that due to the bad economy, theft was on the rise. 
When my son has his friends over, if I don't set a time for them to go to sleep, they will stay up all night. Not necessarily my son, he does like his sleep, but his friends don't seem to care. However, they apparently need to.
Did you know that January is National Tea Month? I didn't even know we had a National Tea Month, but apparently it's true! ...Are you excited?
I'm heartbroken! A friend told me that Lipstick Jungle has been cancelled. So, I did a little research, and though it hasn't been confirmed by NBC, they've also not ordered new episodes. So, it's probably getting the ax.We have a great architectural consignment store about a half hour from us, but we don't always have the time to go there, and being a consignment store, they don't always have what we're looking for. InvitingHome.com carries a wide range of architectural products, shipped right to my door!
One thing I'm looking for, in particular, are new pull handles for my cabinets. When we had our concrete countertop installed, the friend that installed it, thought I might regret not getting new cabinets because once the countertop is on there, the cabinets aren't going anywhere. However, I decided there was no need. They are still in good shape, just looking a little dated. Decorative hardware, like the door pulls in the photo below, can totally change the look of an existing cabinet or piece of furniture.
InvitingHome.com carries such a wide selection of those hard-to-find items. There's everything from from the decorative hardware, to Corbels, to shutters, to wood columns, ceiling medallions and more... those small things that will add so much to your home.
This may seem like a silly thing to get excited about, but I just love the Hercules Hooks I recently purchased!
I mentioned a few weeks ago that my brother received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Well, Saturday we had his graduation party. We had a blast! My dad loves to cater affairs so he supplied all the food -- and boy was there a ton of it! He had pulled pork, chicken wings, bratwurst, a spiral ham, chilled shrimp, meatballs in marinara sauce, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, and more! It was a spread fit for a king!
