I remember my grandmother always had her big stand mixer on her kitchen counter. It was black, and so sturdy and heavy I had trouble lifting as a kid. She loved that mixer and used it for everything - she was an excellent cook and I can still picture her cooking in her kitchen, using her mixer to whip up batches of dough for my favorite holiday cookies.  For years I got by at my own home using a hand mixer. I really wanted to buy a stand mixer but my kitchen space was pretty tight and so was my budget. But now that I’m in a bigger kitchen I decided it was time to treat myself to my own stand mixer.  I chose the powerful Sunbeam Heritage Dual Motor Stand Mixer. (more…)

These are some golf tips as well as equipment suggestions for the beginner to help in learning the ins and outs of what can be a difficult game to learn. Let’s start with golf balls. Golfing balls are dimpled so they can reach a further length when struck by clubs.

Professional golfers always have a bag or two of clubs to cater to their wishes. A golfing bag will, naturally, hold your clubs in one place and will make it simpler for you to bring many. But to guard your gear, for example your clubs should be protected from banging together and the weather with a quality golf headcover.

One mandatory piece of equipment you need is a good pair of golf shoes. Golfing shoes typically have pointed rubber on the undersides (cleats) to penetrate the earth and soil under your feet. This is critical because shifting during the stroke can make you miss the ball or do it in the incorrect direction. If you expect to play well, a quality pair of golfing shoes is an imperative piece of kit to add to your list.

Don’t overlook the golf towel as an important golf accessory either. It will absorb excess moisture from your hands so you can maintain a good golf grip on your club. You can find great golf accessories and equipment at any good golf shop. If shopping for others, find great golf accessories and gifts at The Golf Collection.

We’re saving as much money as we can right now because of the economy. Inflating car tires, fixing old cars instead of buying new, in other words doing as much as we possibly can to save money. Haven’t turned off the cable TV yet, but I have to tell you I’m thinking about it. It got us thinking about what would be the best filtered water filter to buy. Have you ever purchased bottled water, you know, like a case of it you would get at a grocery store or Costco? How much water are you getting? A couple of gallons at most? What is the cost $5.00 bucks, if you’re getting it at Costco. That’s still $2.50 a gallon and dozens of plastic bottles dumped in our landfills. (more…)

I’m a charm collector- I have dozens of them on 4 different silver bracelets and one gold bracelet. But this pretty sterling silver dolphin charm is truly my favorite. It has a sweet little smile on its face and to me looks just like it’s jumping through the waves. It reminds me of a trip our family made to Florida in the 1980s; I’ll always remember the way I felt the first time I saw a bunch of dolphins moving through the water in the Gulf of Mexico. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! Ever since then I’ve had a real thing for dolphins, and it all started at the age of 11. (more…)

Have you read the label on store-bought chocolate syrup?  I did and it convinced me to start making my own homemade chocolate syrup.  Now that I have, I’ll never go back to store-bought again.  For one reason, they say a little pure cocoa is good for you, and the recipe calls for good old fashioned cocoa.  The other reason is the taste.  Of course, you can adjust the sugar to suit your individual taste.  I like my chocolate a little more dark or bitter than my kids and husband like their chocolate.  So, I mix up two batches and we’re all happy.

Up until lately my experiences with bird baths involved a lot of grey/ white concrete and a single shape. And still I’ve always loved them. It’s hard to resist the idea of playing host to big variety of birds looking for a place to drink, rest and wet their feathers. I’m not alone in feeling that a garden without a bird bath is missing out on something very integral to what a garden is supposed to be. And since one of the things a garden is supposed to be is lovely, I was delighted to discover that when I wasn’t looking, bird baths have evolved. A great example of this is the Ceramic Bird bath in Blue with Green Fish available from Zen Garden Bonsai. (more…)

These sterling silver monkey earrings from The Magic Zoo hang from their tails with a big simian smile on their faces. They’re super cute, and I would recommend these little guys to any monkey lover.

I love the way they’re positioned- it really makes them stand out and you instantly can tell what they are, even from a distance. (more…)

With the vast amount of choices available from bottled, to regular tap, or filtered it can be hard to choose the right one.  Many assume that bottled water is the safest, but few know that bottled water may just be tap water in a fancy bottle with a pretty label.  There are some companies including well known sources that have simply used tap water and marketed as pure or spring to fool consumers.  With untreated tap water there is the chance that impurities have not been fully filtered out.

Water filters can remove many of the impurities such as chlorine, lead, and bacterial contaminants left in untreated tap water, providing a safe drinking source for families.  They are also much more economical than purchasing bottled water that can cost $2.00 a gallon versus a few cents.

There are several different types of water filters available for consumers to choose from.  Whole house filters, set up through the main water line, remove contaminants from all the water entering the house.  Under sink filters have multiple cartridges to remove different types of contaminants, but only work on the sink they are installed on.   Faucet mounted filters are very easy to install and simple mount to the faucet, they only filter water from the faucet they are attached to.
