Home automation helps with upkeep for two homes

The automation system includes sensors for moisture, smoke, movement and glass breakage My husband and I own two homes. From November until sometime in April, we live along the southeastern coast of the country. We enjoy warm weather and sunshine and avoid the brutal cold and endless feet of snow up north. For the remaining

I have to wait two more hours before I go to buy food because it is Monday and the stores are usually clogged up with shoppers the whole morning until the early afternoon. I think it starts to slow down around 2pm but I like to wait till 3:30pm when it is at its slowest

The train filled with cold air

Being stuck on a train is not ideal. I tried to make it apartment for Christmas on the train. I did not have another mode of conveyation. The train is cheaper than flying too. So I ended up getting stuck on the train. The tracks are completely covered with snow. There is no way of

Tracking my boys with smart thermostat

When you’re a parent you have to get creative about keeping an eye on the kids; It’s not so easy these days with cell phones and wireless internet to keep your children and teenagers in order, but when I was a kid, my associate and I only had a home phone so it was not

The coolness of a cave

The coolness of a cave

While vacationing in the southwest my pal and I came across a actually cool hotel. My great friend and I typically try to find accommodations that are off the beaten path or a bit unusual than the big hotel chains. My great friend and I found an older hotel that was located along the desert

Attending a winter ceremony relying on the heat

Attending a winter ceremony relying on the heat

I will have to attend a ceremony genuinely soon! Unluckyly the weather is getting much colder. I feel like it is so odd to attend a ceremony in the cold. I am almost confused as what to wear. I am so used to just wearing a nice dress for a ceremony. However I do not

Living in my parent’s attic

I graduated school about two years ago. I had trouble trying to find a task immediately once I graduated. I went on a task hunt all around where I lived and I couldn’t find anything. It was hard and spine-chilling to know that I paid thousands of dollars for a piece of paper and I

Stuck in a room with no vents

Stuck in a room with no vents

We brought in a small fan to help circulate the air but it just isn’t enough. I always feel good about volunteering with local organizations that help out those less fortunate. One of the places that I help out is a local food pantry. In many cases these types of facilities rely on churches and

I will be done with all of my work this week in about an hour or so, & after that my pal and I get to just play & have fun with my friends on the coast. There is something magical about the sea & being near it, & I try to get out there

Getting stuck in a blizzard

Getting stuck in a blizzard

The cold weather makes me cringe. Of course the one day where I decide to go visit family up north my flight gets cancelled. Due to the blizzard conditions across the northeast, thousands of flights have been cancelled due to the weather. Thankfully the airline that I was travelling with ended up paying for the

In many cases these types of facilities rely on churches in addition to town halls for their space as funds are limited in addition to they need

Leave it all to a professional

Leave it all to a professional

Even though I like to do everything myself I feel as if some things should be left to a professional. I feel as if you should never underestimate yourself; I am a do-it-yourself kind of lady I love to fix things and build things on my own. I don’t care for having to rely on

Parts weren’t being installed properly

Parts weren’t being installed properly

I’m definitely not the person you should ask for mechanical help. I have no idea how machines work and I’m not interested in finding out. I’m a medical writer for a living, and I definitely don’t find myself researching things like indoor air quality or air temperature control in my off-hours. That being said… suddenly
