Perfect Weather Calls For A Perfect Patio!

With all this gorgeous weather we have been having here lately, I am really spending a great deal of time outdoors with my children. Both of them just blossom when they step outside and the fresh air does so much for them! One problem that has always been a part of our lives here is that we do not have a patio. I have a porch on the front of the house but it is not covered so I cannot go out all the time in rain or shine. We do have a large Crimson Maple that overshadows the porch and makes a beautiful place to sit in the shade. Over all, I don't complain. But a patio, a place to sit and enjoy the weather...would be fantastic!

Recently, I discovered everypatiofurniture.com. This store is a division of Cymax stores and has some really lovely pieces of furniture to consider. They carry everything from outdoor day beds to swings, to bistro sets! WOW!

I have always been a fan of wrought-iron patio furniture. It looks rustic, yet classy enough to dress up the patio. This set pictured above would look so lovely in my backyard. I can very easily picture our family gathered around the table enjoying a yummy picnic lunch. I also love how it seats 6 people and looks really sturdy.

If you have a large patio and it is covered, you may want to consider a more comfy option when it comes to furniture. How about a outdoor sofa set like the one pictured above? Wow. I can really picture this one on a cabin deck...nestled out in the woods overlooking a lake or something like that. Isn't it gorgeous? I don't have a nice sofa like that in my living room so I might be tempted to put it there rather than on the patio!!! :)

Another great option for a cabin-themed porch or patio would be a great set of Adirondack chairs. Nothing says "Grab a glass of fresh iced tea and have a seat" like these lovely pieces! I am especially fond of the rocking chairs...they look so inviting! The color is great too...I love white!

So, if you are in the market for some new patio furniture, I would definitely recommend checking out everypatiofurniture.com for some great options. They certainly have a wonderful selection that will suit a variety of tastes and looks.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
