Have you all ever been to New York this time of year and tried to drive on the road? Oh may goodness I have been there, but I was not about the drive in that hectic craziness there. New York streets are extremely busy and to drive and pay for parking is expensive! If I was traveling to New York again I would definitely pay little extra for car service there to reduce my stress in order to enjoy the stay there. Heck, if you live there this can be a great option to you to.
I was browsing the net and came across this LaGuardia airport car service company called Dial 7. According to there site they have been touted as “the best ride in town” by New York Magazine, Dial 7 backs up that statement with over 30 years of professional, reliable car and limousine service. They pride ourselves on getting our clients to their destinations on time, every time. No matter how tight your schedule is, they also strive to accommodate all your transportation needs. Over the years, their dedication to such goals has made Dial 7 the leading limousine and car service in the New York area. NYC Car Service by Dial 7 offers transportation to and from Manhattan, Brooklyn, NJ and New York City. They have a fleet of over 450 late model sedans and Town Cars providing safe and reliable car service to NYC, NJ, Brooklyn and Manhattan. Any how, take a glance at there site and if you are planning to go to New York for the holidays or you live there give them a try and tell me you experience if you have already worked with this company too.

Ahhh. My hubby and I are dreaming of a new bed next year and lately we have been thinking about a sleep number bed. We really haven’t went out of our way to go try it, but I have heard some great things about these beds. Do any of you have this bed? What do you like or dislike about it? I am curious to know because I was browsing online with sleepbetterstore.com and they say that the Sleep Number beds allow you to adjust the overall firmness or softness of the mattress from 0-99 in order to find your ideal combination of comfort and support.
After researching I found that Sleep Number Beds are adjustable and comfortable. The quiet, Digital Numeric Inflation System allows you to adjust the softness or firmness of the mattress with the simple push of a button. Mattresses are also available that allow you to adjust each side of the mattress separately. So, that means that I can select comfort that is better for me and my hubby can have is too? That is great!! The site is easy to browse and find information. The offer beds from a twin to king sizes too. I thought the prices would be outrageous, but after looking a saw that you can buy at King size bed starting from the $849 range to $2749 and they offer warranties on their beds too.
If you are like me and my hubby and craving comfort and relaxation check this site out! Just reading more information is making me want to go to sleep now, but the day has begun and need to finish some house work and start lifting and cardio because going into work this afternoon.

I remember when I used to work for a mortgage broker and every Christmas the company would have look around for gifts to give to their big clients in the area. They would want to send them something really special that they could enjoy with their friends and family. Not something cheesy that would end up in the trash like a pad of paper and pen with the company’s logo, but a gift basket filled with nuts, chocolates, and wine!

Man, I was thinking I really would like to get away for a while with the family and all. Sometimes you get tired of the everyday hustle and bustle of work, customer service, responsibilities at home, and others. You know what I mean? It would just be great to escape to somewhere and do something fun and relaxing with the family. I was browsing around to find places to add to my must see or must visit collections for me and my family to visit in the future and I came across this really neat place.
The Blueberry Lake resort in located in the heart of Quebec, which is 25 minutes north of Mont Tremblant Canada. This resort offers a wonderful country experience in a well-appointed Quebec-style log home, with first class client services. They say on the site that if your stay is short or long, the sense of peace that overtakes you from the moment you arrive will delight you, ensuring that from now on, this will be your first choice for summer or winter vacations. Now thats right up my alley. I would love to visit this time of year because I kind of miss the snow. I am from the Midwest and the site of snow for the holidays is so beautiful to me.
The charms of each season complemented by a wide choice of activities make Blueberry Lake the ideal place to spend wonderful times with family, friends or groups, or to inspire excellent results from corporate events and meetings. The other amenities intrigued me to because they offer:
- Beautiful indoor spa *
- Fully equipped gym *
- Massage treatment rooms and in-home massage *
- Lakeview restaurant and wine bar
- Online concierge service
- Online activity reservation service
- A multitude of on-site outdoor activities

What do you think of the photo to the left? I thought hum.. What a unique way to display your photos? Instead of the traditional frame this site I found can display any of your favorite photos and custom print them on your pillow case, shower curtain, Photo Blankets, and even throw pillows too. I was like no way, but yes they can. I guess it would be a great gift for a family that has just had a new born baby, or a housewarming gift. Or, for you pet lovers out there it would be a great way to display you pet that has been in the family for many years onto a throw pillow to display in the house too.
I found that the site is very easy to use and very simple to custom order your items of you choice. They even offer customer text to be printed on your item too. I also found that this is the only site that offers custom shower curtains to display photo too. I was like shower curtains? What could you possibly place on there? Then I was thinking maybe a nice panoramic from your last tropical or Caribbean vacation. Check this out! This could also be a great way to complete some of that Christmas shopping and to avoid the after Thanksgiving rush.

I have been on a mission to find these unique fake rocks with the address plaques on them and now I am excited!! After browsing on and off for the past few months and looking in home depot and different garden shops I have found the place online in where I can order these!! It’s called Artificial Rocks Factory. In the past I have been wanting to purchase the real rocks with our address on it or a welcoming message on them, but they are expensive and you pay a bundle for shipping due to the weight too. So, my hubby was like you will have to wait for that.
So, now at Artificial Rocks Factory this fascination of mine can become a reality for you and me if you are looking for the same thing!! The rocks are so realistic that they will look great in your landscape and fool all of your friends thinking that you spent a bundle of cash to have them custom made for you. I love it!! The rocks are molded from actual 800-1,000lb. moulders, the artificial rocks factory’s incredible lifelike 50-60 lbs “fake rocks” look and feel natural because they’re made from construction-grade cast stone not fiberglass or polyurethane. You can pick from their 4 models with a custom rustproof cast aluminum ivy oval address plaque or address sign for up to five 3″ characters (numbers or capitalized letters) or up to seven 2″ characters (numbers or capitalized letters) in gold on a black background. Which is exactly what I am looking for. Now, I just need to convince my husband to fit this into our budget for the new year.
However, for any of you looking for Christmas gifts this would be great for your family members that just purchase a new home. They will be so grateful to you. For This Christmas November 29th is the last day to order the fake rocks with a customer address plaque in time for delivery by Christmas. Normally they are $299 each, the rock replicas with an address or welcome plaque are $199 for a limited time with a $50 shipping.

Do you love the outdoors and would love to enjoy it year round? I do, because sometimes I just love to sit outside and just read a book or just relax without worrying about the weather and the yucky bugs. I also was thinking that a conservatory would be a great space to host baby showers or some type of party with the natural sunlight and the elements of the outdoors inside. Well, I have never thought of this idea until I came across this site with beautiful Conservatories that you could have constructed to be an addition to your home. I did not realize how conservatories are increasingly being used all year round. I know in my area a lot of new home builders are offering them in their packages as an option to build. People are also realizing that this is still an extension to their living space and that the cold weather can still be kept out.
I was looking at the few styles offered and they were not bad. The prices didn’t seem too bad either. I could just imagine the extra space it could give families for family gatherings like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and others. The site also show the specs of each plan so that you could plan out how to decorate the interior for many years of enjoyment.
