Missing Life Away from the City

September 30th, 2011 | Posted by admin in Personal - (0 Comments)

I miss the life away from the city!

That’s what I realized when we finally visited my FIL this week.

We have been living for more than a year in the middle of the city. We are grateful to have a house for free and my hubby’s childhood home at that, but like I said, it is in the middle of the city. I know that meant we’re close to everything but it also means we have to endure a lot of noise and pollution associated with the city life. Add that to the fact that it is not a healthy place to raise two little kids…

I thought we weren’t missing anything but staying overnight at my FIL’s house located in a small town made me realize it’s nice to actually see trees when you look out the window, it’s a relief not to hear your neighbor’s voice from behind the walls, and it’s refreshing going out for a stroll without fear of being hit by a vehicle.

Our stay here made me rethink if it’s really worth keeping a house in the city. We really don’t have any reason to stay aside from we’re closer with friends and family there. But ever since my hubby started working at home and my son started homeschool we actually have the freedom to choose where we want to live.

I wish making a life changing decision like choosing where to live and raise our kids is as easy as choosing the best brand of smoke (it’s really a no-brainer for this one because Rocky Patel is the cigar of choice) but it’s really a difficult one. It actually is my husband’s decision to make not mine but I know it would be a difficult one for him. He would consult me because he considers my opinion but this time I wouldn’t know what to say.

The Advantages of Hardwood Flooring

September 26th, 2011 | Posted by admin in House and Home - (0 Comments)

Building your dream home or doing some renovations on your current one could be a tough task. Of course there are major things to consider such as time, budget and design. The flooring is one thing that could easily look old and worn out. This is the reason why constant repair, maintenance and replacement if needed, are necessary.

Now this task requires the services of a professional contractor and since not all homeowners are aware of their choices, it will be better to seek an expert’s advice when it comes to the right type of flooring for your home. Hardwood flooring still remains to be a popular choice because of the high quality of material that can withstand the wear and tear and also because it lasts longer compared to the other options.
Durability is one of the things that you can expect from hardwood floors. It might cost a little extra compared to other flooring types but this is a type of investment that you could benefit from for a longer period of time. With proper care and maintenance, cracks and damages could be easily prevented and fixed.

Hardwood flooring is also ideal for individuals that suffer from allergies. Carpets may be an attractive choice but this type of material may not go well for someone with asthma or allergies. Since wood is an all natural product, expect that it contains no harmful components that could become a health risk for the family.

Lastly, it is easier to maintain a hardwood floor. Compare the cost of having to regularly have carpets cleaned and steamed to the cost of polishing your floors. The task of cleaning a wood floor is easier as you can do it yourself even if there’s a spill. Using this could also add value and complement your home design.

House Number Plaques are Important too

September 22nd, 2011 | Posted by admin in My Stuff - (0 Comments)

I have been thinking of putting a house number plaque at our gate. It seems the mailman is finding it hard to locate our address. I am just thankful that I am still receiving my important letters at home but I know it is risky to go on like this forever. I am glad that there are already online stores selling this so I don’t have to make my one. The choices are stylish too and can catch the mailman’s attention right away.
