Only Child

Thanks for the article from Isaiah Gaines

Being an only child always made me want siblings but you know, there wasn’t much I could do about that. I think that’s why as an adult I’ve chosen to surround myself with animals –they’re the best thing in the world next to other people! I love dogs more than cats and though they can get kind of smelly and gross I know they really feel human emotions, they really do. Anyway, I can’t imagine a better house for dogs than the one I’ve got here – there’s a huge backyard and a HOMESECURITYSYSTEM.COM alarm and all the room to roam inside they could want which is good because I’ve got 3 of them. Sadie, Sara and Callie – they’re allgirls– and they just make my life. Getting home from a hard day at work is so much better when you know you’ve got a sweet dog waiting for you…I just don’t understand when people say they don’t really like animals! I just couldn’t live without my girls and know that that will never change.

A Better, Green, Playroom Design

Guest post written by Fiona Walker

Right now the playroom design that we've had for a while now just isn't working. We have all these storage units in there that we thought would be great. Except they're so big that it's hard for the kids to find their smaller toys. Well, it isn't quite working for it anymore so we're just going to do a whole redecoration.

I just can't get the layout right, so I went online to find some inspiration for our playroom. While I was looking at that online, I came across some energy saving packages from Texas Electricity Providers and decided to sign up for one of the plans for our energy at our house.

I did find this one really great functional playroom design with cubby shelves built into the wall. That way you can see what's already in the cubby holes without looking around for way too long like I do with our current storage solutions. I think that will also just make the whole room look a lot more neat and organized. If the kids can see all the toys they want, theyÕll want to play with them more.
