Scrubs

Tags: , , , , , , ,

Just because you’re wearing scrubs doesn’t mean that you have to look like a scrub. There are some great stores and websites that have a huge variety of scrub tops and scrub pants. Most websites also have a great selection of scrub hats, kids scrubs and additional accessories.

The websites are usually put together quite nicely and easy to use. I was very pleased with one of the websites I came across called Blue Sky Scrubs. Their choices of patterns and fabrics were beautiful. Go sheek, modern and elegant or go colorful, playful and fun! Whatever your mood or desire is… they seemed to have it all. Enjoy Shopping for scrub clothing!

An odd crash

Tags: , , ,

Guest post written by Hester Schrute

Lots of people get into car crashes throughout their lives, but most of them don’t involve their houses. We live on a busy road that a lot of people use to cut through and avoid nearby traffic so there are quite a few wrecks in our neighborhood.

One afternoon my kids came home from school right after a station wagon plowed into the front part of our house, right into our living room. Luckily, my husband and I were at work and our dog was at the groomer’s so no one got hurt, including the elderly lady that was driving the car. It ends up that a deer ran out in front of her on the road – which happens pretty often – so I don’t really blame her for it. Plus, our insurance covered the repairs. We knew our siding was ruined though, so we did some research and found some more info on replacing it.

Really the crash just broke a few lamps, a side table and a couch. I’m just grateful that it didn’t happen in our dining room where my grandmother’s wedding cabinets is.

Cat scratch fever

Guest post written by Kayla Marshall

My cat seems to scratch everything but the scratching post I bought her and it’s really starting to drive me crazy.

She’s my first cat and I’ve always heard that cats are pretty low maintenance in comparison to dogs. So I thought a cat would make a great pet. Boy was I wrong.

The most noticeable spot that she scratched all up is my lower kitchen cabinets. My mom told me sears new cabinets so I looked up some info about it and decided that that’s exactly what I would do.

The cabinets were replaced and looked so nice that I decided I should redecorate the whole kitchen. I just moved into the house a few months ago so it was still like how the former owners had decorated it. A fresh coat of muted yellow paint helped a lot and made my new white cabinets seem to gleam in the light even more. I added some cute little gingham curtains to the window over my sink and now it looks like a nice little kitchen.

Road conditions such as pot holes, puddles and debris… but also actual driving errors such as driving too close to others, swerving in and out of traffic and lack of protection. What is the best way to protect yourself? It might be common sense but motorcycle helmets are the way to go. Recent studies show that wearing a helmet can cut the risk of brain related injuries down by 88% in a motorcycle accident and more deaths are due to head trauma.

So what if you are involved in a motorcycle accident and you know it’s not your fault. You will probably want to find a good lawyer. But you don’t want just a good lawyer, you want the best lawyer who specializes in motorcycle accident and injury cases ONLY. Call someone like California’s Motorcycle Accident Attorney, Tom Reinecke. If he doesn’t make you money, he won’t take your money!

Every Four Years

Guest post Terry Bard

Every four years I watch the Cup, and this year is going to be incredible, because, after seeing several satellite tv deals, I finally decided to buy satellite tv. I love watching the World Cup because it is a family tradition. Every four years my family and I try to get together as much as possible to watch the games. Even if we cannot join each other to watch all the games together, it is the topic of discussion at the dinner table. We all cheer for different teams, which make watching it even more interesting. We make inside bets on our teams. I also cheer for Brazil as they are my favorite team of all time. Since I was little I always loved Brazil and watched them religiously. Soccer is one sport that everyone in my family enjoys, so the World Cup is a big deal. This year we are planning a party and hoping our favorite teams make it to the final game. I love that there are games daily because it always gives us something to talk about. Who would have thought that a simple sport would keep a family together?

The Saddle Club

Tags: , , ,

Each evening, before I tuck my daughter into bed, we watch an episode of “The Saddle Club” with the cable tv deal we bought. This show is about a group of children that have horses and learn how to take care of them. I enjoy watching this show with my daughter because it has a story line that could possibly happen to a child in a real situation. The characters on the show work through many different problems and situations and this gives my daughter and I an opportunity to discuss why we feel what each character did was wrong or right. We also talk about how we would handle these situations if we were to be this character. My daughter enjoys the show because she has a love for horses and each one of the children on this show has a horse to take care of. The show is also educational as far as horses are concerned. We have learned a lot about saddles, styles of riding and different competitions involving horses just by watching this show. Watching this show each evening with my daughter gives her an opportunity to relax and get ready for bed and she also has the opportunity at that time to discuss any issues that may have happened to her that are similar to what the characters of this show are going through.
