Now I need to perform an overall evalu

Since summer is around the corner I thought to mention these handy wood tiles good for concrete patios, balconies and in the yard. I like this idea because they are removable and portable so even renters can improve their space. There are many different kinds at many different price ranges. The most expensive have interlocking bottoms and come in a variety of patterns. There are a number of companies out there that sell these. But all of them ask for quotes which to me means 'out of my price range'. Just type in interlocking wood tiles in google to see the various sites.Ikea also sells something like this for a more affordable price at a little over $3 per square foot. However, they don't have interlocking bottoms so I don't know how you would keep them in place if you didn't have anything

Ooh, ooh! Fashionistas, fitness freaks and plastic surgery specialists are rife with speculations on Halle Berry’s post-pregnancy body. She looks absolutely yummy with her new curves.

I recently stumbled across an awesome virtual makeover website--Taaz.com. I'm not sure if it only recently came out, or if I've just been missing it for all these years, but the makeover program is honestly the best I've ever seen.A few years ago, a few different websites tried to make their own virtual makeover programs, but it was tricky to do because the makeup never lined up perfectly with your face. Taaz somehow automatically picks up on where your eyes, lips, head, cheeks, and everything else is in the picture. For best results, upload a picture of yourself with your hair pulled back facing the camera head on. I actually tested the website and uploaded a photo of myself with my head tilted to the side just to see what would happen and the program still found my eyes and everythi

It's probably obvious from my blog that I hold my family and home in high esteem. A home is the heart of your family, a place where you can return at the end of a long day to feel relaxed, safe and secure. You want it to look nice but you also want it to smell nice. Another obvious fact I'm sure you can tell from my blog is of course... I love to cook. But the wonderful aroma of dinner cooking at 6:00 isn't so wonderful when the smell lingers for hours or even a day or two later. Because I live in the upper Midwest where winter sometimes lasts up to 7 months, opening windows to let the fresh air in isn't a choice so after cooking a roast or bacon it's either smell the lingering aroma for a day or two or try to fight it off with candles and air fresheners.Tonight I had a chance to tell

I finally have pictures of our lake house floor makeover. You might remember hearing about flooding in Marble Falls, Tx, this past summer when 18 inches of rain fell in a single day. We were on vacation at the time and didn't discover that we had some flood damage until a couple weeks later. I was stepping out the back door when I suddenly noticed that the carpet felt squishy. Apparently, our gutters filled up too fast and poured rain back into the outside walls and flooded the edges of our carpet. We bought the 40 year-old home a couple of years ago and it had harvest gold shag carpet downstairs and blue shag upstairs. At the time, my dream was to replace the carpet with easy to maintain stone or wood laminate floors, but alas, it wasn't in the budget, so I settled for a neutral low-grade

Having children changes a woman’s life in so many ways. Most of these changes are welcome, but pregnancy can take a heavy toll on a woman’s body.Pregnancy can leave a woman’s abdomen stretched and scarred, breasts sagging and stomach bulging.The mommy makeover packages combine multiple plastic surgery procedures such as tummy tucks, breast augmentation, liposuction etc in one operation to reduce the ravages to breasts and abdomen that multiple pregnancies can cause.The mommy makeover procedures are less invasive so the new moms can be back home with their new babies in few days or even the same day itself, if the proper pre and post operative care instructions are followed.Amongst the other post operative measures one of the most important post surgery cares is to stay away from sun

Giving birth often results in body changes that may adversely affect a woman's body. Pregnancy can leave a woman’s abdomen stretched, scarred, loose and saggy.With the advent of the plastic surgery procedures like abdominoplasty women can reclaim their pre pregnancy shape.Abdominoplasty not only removes excess skin and fat, but it also flattens the abdomen, improves stretch marks and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall.This is especially beneficial to women who've been through multiple pregnancies and have stretched their abdominal muscles past their bodies' ability to recover normally.The best candidates for abdominoplasty are new moms who have finished breast feeding and are in good physical condition.The Plastic Surgery Institute of California offers abdominoplasty as part of t

For some of us, okay, MOST of us, it's been a rough week. For a humorous reality check, I often turn to my friends Patty and Gina over at Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid. Extreme Makeover Bipolar edition As parents of a teenage bipolar daughter, my husband must always find ways to “roll with the punches”. “Mom! Jennifer’s punching a picture of you!” screamed my son. “That’s OK, I look fat in that one!” The key to survival, of course, is to try and find the silver lining among some pretty dark clouds. Sometimes it’s easier than others, particularly when she employs one of her most proven coping techniques – cleaning and re-arranging her room. Often, when I enter her room to give her a goodnight kiss, I’m never quite sure, just where I’ll find her bed—or

I don't know about you, but I hate this template. But rather than going through the trouble of just changing over to a new Blogger template and retaining some of the limitations inherent in Blogger, I've gone ahead and downloaded a template in WordPress and am in the process of modifying it the old-fashioned trial-and-error way, since I'm not as geeky as some of you out there!I also got the domain name: ShopDogDiaries.com. If you go there now, you'll see a mess. I'm messing around with widths, text alignments, spacing, and NO, that is not the image that goes in my header... I just needed something quick to put in there so I could tinker with the template.Of course my last trick is going to be transferring the content from this blog to the new one.

CWT - Aboard the Motor Vessel "Eva Braun" Somewhere in the South Atlantic. In an exclusive interview, exiled Grand Wizard of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan Absalom Knib revealed to Cats With Thumbs a long range plan to revamp and revitalize the moribund white supremacist terror organization. Knib told CWT he aims to make the KKK " more user friendly " and " in touch with the younger generation."The Ku Klux Klan, with its long history of violence, is the most infamous — and oldest — of American hate groups. Although black Americans have typically been the Klan's primary target, it also has attacked Jews, immigrants, homosexuals and, until recently, Catholics. Over the years since it was formed in December 1865, the Klan has typically seen itself as a Christian organization, alth

As the mother of a new-born there are strong chances that you might find taking care of the new baby rather demanding on your body. Somewhere in the process of keeping your young one healthy and on the go you let yourself, or rather, let your body go.Post pregnancy care for your body is just as important as pre-pregnancy care for your little bundle of joy. Personal body care is an important factor which many mothers both old and new overlook.Those horrid lines that appear in the tummy area known as stretch marks are the prime enemy of a woman who has just given birth. While it is not possible to do away completely with stretch marks, it is certainly possible to lessen their appearance.Plastic surgery has certain tummy tuck techniques that can help you combat stretch marks. Sagging skin is

While remodeling your kitchen, install only the essential cabinets, so you can spend on quality rather than quantity. Look for durability, and specify plywood panels rather than particleboard. Laminate is economical but still can look classy in a patterned finish or trimmed with wood edging. You should put your money into the hardest-working and most permanent features of the kitchen, especially

According to the President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons [ASPS] which is a recognized board of professional plastic surgeons, the increase in the age for childbirth and the swiftness with which mothers are returning to their careers has led to a rise in the mommy makeover procedure.There was a 11 percent rise for this procedure since 2005 according to statistics collected by the board. The cost of this particular plastic surgery procedure, it seems, is no deterrent for mother's looking for a re-vamped body.A mommy makeover is usually a combination of three main procedures: abdominoplasty, liposuction and breast augmentation. At times, women opt in for additional surgeries like buttock augmentation and neck liposuction as well. It all depends on the desired results.This combination of such major cosmetic procedures is the main reason why a mommy makeover is a considerably costly treatment. They usually fall in the price range of $5,000 to $20,000 and more according to th

Sit down, people, this is going to be a long one (but totally worth it, I promise).I had quite the weekend planned. The ex had the kids and I had a list of Honey Do's (yes, I call myself Honey) longer than Santa's naughty list; and my list had nothing to do with Christmas.I had decided, in the middle of the most hectic time of year, to prep the playroom for a makeover. My in-laws recently moved out and the room was nearly empty so, I said to myself, why not paint it while the painting's good? I know—these monologues of mine are nothing but trouble.Sooooo, if you've ever done a home improvement project you know that before you can accomplish said project you must do 20 other things first. It's a rule or something.Here's my list in reverse order so it makes more sense (stay with me—the good part's coming):10. Paint playroom9. Prime playroom8. Sand-down baseboards and window casings7. Empty playroom and put books in my bedroom6. Move beautified bookshelf into my bedroom5
