Has A Place

I have just celebrated my 26th Birthday and every year I usually try to go on a road trip, or some kind of excursion. This year I was pondering what to do, what to do!  We all know that I have been to New York City, many times, I was meant to live there I swear. Anyway, this time around I said I want to see a big city, and possibly a water view as well. I went to Toronto last year so that was out, I am going to New York next weekend, so that's out. I thought to myself, where can I go that is withing driving distance and that I have never been to?  BOSTON, its like a light bulb went off in my head! But wait, its kinda far... O well I will just get up early, right??? YES!  So we got up at 5 am and headed out for the 6 hour drive to Boston. The drive was easy, smooth and very scenic. I would definitely do it again. We got in around 11am. It was so exciting.

We were greeted by a beautiful sunrise....

While stopped at a rest stop I noticed the beautiful landscaping. This is what I want around my deck to look like. I need to get workin!!!


After a few rest stops, we finally got into Boston!


And after we found where to park, which was very easy but VERY pricey. We were off, to enjoy the day!

They have trolly tours, duck boats, child sailing, HUGE yachts, a ton of churches, great shopping, amazing food and very friendly people. An all around great city, and a bonus... smaller than New York and MUCH easier to drive through!


While in Bost you have to have a Lobster...

Hi all, hope you are having a great week so far!   I wanted to share a quick switcheroo I did this morning before work. I have had this little wine cupboard for-ever and a day. It keeps making its way around my house. Last Thanksgiving I needed a  sideboard table for the "extra" dishes. Its been there for a while, and I bough it for the space in the kitchen. Its the perfect length and width. :)


Have a great day!!!

So you know how I said I was obsessed with outdoors, I am seriously. I have so many mosquito bites I should probably see a doctor. However, I did try this new product I saw at home depot. I think it worked really, there were so many out there I think it killed about 75%. I think that you have to use it for a few days in a row to get rid of them completely. Also, they will make their way over from other untreated yards.

The product is called Cutter Bug Free Backyard. You hook it up to your hose and spray EVERYTHING. Or at least we did. The deck, the plants, the grass, everything...


It covers about 5000 square feet as well. Plenty big enough for our back yard, he did the front yard also. It costs around 10 dollars for this bottle, and they do have a smaller one for about 5. It was well worth 10 dollars, especially because my dogs go outside at night. Mosquito bites on dogs can cause heart worm :(  Don't want that!  As an added bonus it kills ants and fleas. I still see a ton of ants around so I don't think it works as well on them.

As long as I'm talking about my favorite products I can't go without mentioning a must in my house. Its Bar Keepers Friend. This stuff work miracles. It gets out anything and gets anything off metal. I have stainless steel appliances and pans. We all know this was the worst invention of mankind. Sure, they look amazing but trying to keep food and fingerprints from sticking is a nightmare.
For the fingerprints, I am obsessed with cleaning fingerprints. I HATE THEM!!  And no matter what I do they are always there. It drives me crazy. I want to put a sign on the fridge that says "Only Touch Handle". I'm that nuts about it. Its crazy. Anyway, I use Method streak free cleaner, it works good and it smells great!

So I decided I would try and soften the view...


 It helps, its not perfect. Those are palms. I usually cant keep them alive for very long. I am going to try really hard this time. And when its time for them to come in, I already have a spot.

I put them in special drainage pots, special miracle grow soil and EVERYTHING!! If they die I will be so mad >:(

But see, no neighbors anymore!!!
