Wedding season is approaching. And if you happen to be the bride and groom – or the parents of either – you just know there are so many things to think about. So many costs involved. There are many ways that one can cut costs if you’re on a tight budget – one of those being cutting the cost of the bridal bouquets and other flower arrangements.

When I got married I opted for my bouquet to be of silk flowers while the rest of the wedding party, the flowers for the church, and reception hall being real flowers. For me – my silk arrangement was a matter of having a keepsake but I really love fresh flowers. However, there wasn’t a whole lot of money to spend on my wedding so we had to be creative, cut corners, and make compromises.

A mid-life crisis is a natural part of human existence and human nature. They can occur for many reasons and often occur from ages 40-60. Ultimately, scientists are still unsure why exactly people ‘break down’ in this period of their lives, but ultimately it comes down to two fairly simple realizations, the first is that they don’t have much time left to find the meaning that they have always thought they would find in their lives and at the same time realize that they have not done as many meaningful things in their lives to date and have possibly wasted their time. These fundamental realizations can be triggered by many different events which I am going to outline below. I will say first however, a Midlife crisis is inevitable, everyone will have one, some are more extreme than others but we humans are yet to find the true meaning of existence on the planet for ourselves and are constantly worried by that fact. My point is that life is a journey to further understanding and we each need to experience things to make our lives meaningful and midlife crisis’ are just one of those experiences. An article here on the meaning of life has definitely helped me to understand the world.

The much-played Scrabble board game has moved its way to the internet.  It’s so easy to find someone to play against regardless of you knowing him or her or not or what time of the day it is.  But just as one would find with the board game – it’s not always that easy to come up with a word out of a certain group of letters before you.  This has led to the development of a Scrabble Word Finder widget.  Check out the widget: for yourself: Word Finder Widget Demo & Code

Bringing You Moments To Celebrate

BrylaneHome-Summer-Gazebos-giveawaySponsored by BrylaneHome
Organized by Celebrate Woman Today

From FCS – I’ve had my eye on this Bar Gazebo for a while now.  I see it being so functional.  I would love to set this up on my back deck where I could put my son out there without the sun and bugs getting to him to get him some fresh air! I could even have it set up where it opens up to the slider door in his room and face his TV out to the deck.  He’d be in heaven :)

For a very long time now, like we’re talking 32 years at the minimum, I’ve been a collector of Precious Moments. I don’t buy them like I did in my younger days, but I find myself often searching the net to see what is new in the product line. I was just doing this and came across a site that captured my attention that not only had Precious Moments but also had German Beer Steins.

Finding this site took me 25 years back in time. Back then, I had a real close friend who purchased beer steins for her husband for each anniversary, Christmas and birthday. And when I saw the selection of the steins this site had, I was in awe. I particularly fell in love with the Octoberfest German Black Beer Horn Stein. They are just so different – so unique. There’s an entire selection of Octoberfest German Beer Steins and you want to talk about beer steins with intricate details that are all handcrafted in Germany – they are stunning!
