A House and Home

<>Finally, home sweet home. My husband and I recently bought a home. It's the perfect size for our family. It's not too big and not too small. We've always dreamed of having a huge back yard for our kids to play in and a room for each of them. I was content in our apartment but there just wasn't enough room. I couldn't buy all of the things that I wanted for the place. I couldn't really decorate the place the way I wanted to. I want our new home to feel inviting and kid friendly. Thankfully with our new home, I can decorate the way I want. This is our fresh start.<>

Since we need a lot of new items, I've been shopping online. I love to shop but let's face it, pulling the kids in and out of the car to find the best deals, is a chore. I enjoy shopping from the comfort of my own home. I've been shopping for everything. New dishes, tables, furniture and even ceiling fans. I found beautiful ceiling fans lowes on my favorite website. It's bargains at your fingertips. I was able to compare and save all at once. There's no driving from store to store to see who has the best deal. I also came across gorgeous hampton bay items for my new home. Before I had kids, I was shopping all over the place. Now, I just don't have the time. Being a working mother leaves little time for leisure shopping. I just sit and wait for delivery. I've actually been looking for new seating too. I even want new chair leg caps to make sure I don't scratch up my new floors.

This will be an exciting experience for me. I have the ability to decorate a house all by myself. I can change or add anything that I desire. I can't wait to see my house when I'm done. Most importantly, my children can come home to a house of our own.

What happens to the time?

Post contributed by Josue Durham

Where does the time go? I mean, really, what happens when you get older? When I was a kid summer vacation went by so fast and Christmas seemed so far away. Now it is the summer and I promise tomorrow it will be Thanksgiving and the New Year will be here next week. I often wonder do our minds alter the perception of time the older we get or have our lives become so crowded and busy that we find ourselves with less time? When I had children it seemed time went by even quicker. I can still remember bringing my oldest daughter home from the hospital after she was born. Now, 5 years later I am watching her become a little lady. She sits in the chair with the best little posture turning the TV looking for the show she watches every day that we get from directv's channel package. I often wish I could go back and see life the way my children see it. I want to look forward to Christmas instead of tackling a shopping list. I want to tell them to enjoy every second because one day they will wonder what happened to time.
