Once you choose your connection method, you can then decide on how fast you want your internet connection to be. Read the rest of this entry »

An Oregon coast romantic getaway is one of the best excursions I have ever experienced.  One May when my boyfriend and I were first dating we went to the beach together.  Since our relationship was so young, we stayed only for the day and thus did not check out the Oregon coast romantic hotels.  It was a beautiful day when we drove a few hours through the woods of Oregon to Lincoln City.  Upon our arrival drove through the quaint little town, and stopped at a tiny art gallery featuring the work of local artists.  The woman working the front desk was very friendly, and we enjoyed talking to her for awhile about art and music and her life in Lincoln City.  Read the rest of this entry »

Butterfly jewellery on a rainy day (like this one happens to be) is the only thing that makes me perk up! Only real silver jewelry nuts will know what I’m talking about, but when I’m feeling a little glum I put on my favorite butterfly brooch, pair of earrings or even a pretty pendant necklace for a bit of cheering up. One of the thingsI’ve always liked about my favorite animal jewelry site is all the variety and the boundless number of designs. They really have a full range of animal jewelry here, from bugs to Rhinos! Read the rest of this entry »

Many outdoor bonsai trees are hardy and can handle the cold weather, but the Pyracantha bonsai is not one of these. If you’re keeping your bonsai trees in an environment that is fairly warm, the Pyracantha will be find, but if you are growing a bonsai garden in an area where it gets below five degrees Celsius or 28 degrees Fahrenheit, you won’t be able to keep it outdoors.

Most people give up on their diets due to utter boredom. Stuck with a limited menu and repetition of eating the same food meal after meal is too much to expect any person to commit to.

These plans offer variety, great tasting meals, drinks and desserts and with these choices we are less prone to cheating. Read the rest of this entry »

If you have young children, you might have enrolled them into a kid’s gym class. Some of these classes start when the child is one year’s old. What they learn at a young age is body awareness. Through play children are encouraged to walk a balance beam, tumble, climb stairs, hang from stationary bars, as well as do other physical activity. All to allow children to feel comfortable with their bodies, gain confidence in them, and develop their memory muscles. Teenagers who pick up a skateboard do so for the fun of it, but what they are really doing is developing balance and motor coordination skills. When the weather doesn’t allow for play on a skateboard or a surfboard, these kids continue to play but this time it’s on a balance board. A rocker-roller board like the cool Vew Do Zippy Balance Board is a great responsive board. Read the rest of this entry »

We have quite a few food allergies in our family including egg and nut allergies, so I often end up having to make our desserts and special occasion cakes. I really don’t mind since I like knowing exactly what is in the food we’re eating, plus I tend to make healthier choices on ingredients compared to the store-bought versions. Of course, I sometimes run into problems of not having the right cake pan on-hand when I want to make a specific kind of cake. One of my families favorite cakes recently was a simple ice cream cake made with a graham cracker crust. Having to use a pie pan made the cake a little smaller than I would have liked and I realized that next time I’ll make a big ice cream layer cake instead using a Commercial-Weight Kaiser LaForme Springform Pan.

You’d think that with what – at times- seems like 6 months of winter (but really it’s not) it would be easier to find an abundance of outdoor bonsai’s in Canada. But strangely that is not the case. You can find junipers and if you know where to look you can find Chinese Elms which adapt quite easily to outdoor culture, even in Toronto. But finding more than an occasional and seemingly random scattering of Maples or Japanese Maples, Larch, Pine, spruce or especially any flowering fruit bonsai trees seems to just be too much to hope for. But I haven’t stopped trying and was really pleased to be able to find some Japanese Black Pine Bonsai for Canada at Zen Garden Bonsai. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re an orange cappuccino fan, like me, you’re going to get hooked on this Orange Nutmeg Coffee Mix. By using real orange peel, there is no escaping the decidedly citrus aroma and taste. The nutmeg adds a nice warm fragrance and flavor to the coffee. Even though you can just stir this mix together, I prefer to use my blender so the mix gets nice and smooth. You might also want to tweak the sugar just a little to suit your own taste. The nutmeg is so nice, you don’t want to hide the flavor with too much sugar. You may also have your little ones drooling over your cup of coffee, so watch out! Read the rest of this entry »

My brother and I had a bet. Who could find the most beautiful crow jewelry online? You see, our mother has been collecting raven and crow jewelry her entire life, and this was going to be a very special birthday for her, her 60th.

There were some other nice ones available elsewhere, but this particular example had such delicate craftsmanship that I thought it had the others beat by a mile. Read the rest of this entry »

There are two kinds of the U.S. Cavalry Sabers, namely the light and heavy kind. The light variety, as opposed to the heavy kind, was actually based on other European swords such as the Indian Talwar and was used by the British and Prussian during the battle of Waterloo. This class of saber was also made us of by the Germans and their cavalry until the 20th century. Cold Steel’s battle ready 1796 U.S. Cavalry Saber is actually a replica of the military light saber mentioned above. This flawless quality sword has a 33-inch blade with a 4 ¾-inch long handle, amounting to about 37-inches in overall length. Read the rest of this entry »
