Shopping for Cowgirl Boots at the Rodeo

Yesterday was the last day of the Stockshow and Rodeo in San Antonio. Boy, we almost didn't make it this year. I'm glad that the weather was good and we got a chance to go to the rodeo after church.
We love going to the rodeo. My daughter's favorite part is to get on the rides. Hubby loves the entertainment part while I love window shopping and eat some BBQs!
 I wasn't planning on buying anything expensive on that day. But, I can't resist to get one of those cute boots for my daughter! Good thing hubby paid for it. 
This is what my lil' pixie picked! She's only seven but she already have six pairs of cowgirl boots. 

Energy Efficient 360 Oscillation Tower Fan from @Ozeriproducts

It's almost Spring Break, but unfortunately it's not going to be all warm weather right away to some areas in the US. Hey, y'all should move to Texas!
Central Texas sure feels like summer begins in late February and ends in November! It can get super hot and sometimes humid in San Antonio. Temperatures are in the 90's and 100's. It's only February, but yesterday was excruciatingly hot and humid.
Thanks to the 360 Oscillation Tower Fan from Ozeri for helping cool us down while my family and I were hanging out in the living room. Now we don't have to worry about running the AC through the entire house and deal with high electric bills.
The Ozeri 360 Tower Fan oscillates at 60, 90, 120, or 360 degrees for partial to complete air circulation with 3 whisper quiet speed settings. Utilizing advanced cylindrical motion technology with over 200 noise-reducing micro-blade. The 360 Tower fan offers 3 fan whisper quiet speed settings for customized airflow. It also features 3 preprogrammed airflow patterns designed to foster sleep, relaxation and comfort with up to 360 degree complete oscillation for timely relief on a sweltering summer day or for refreshing circulation all year long. The Ozeri 360 Tower Fan features an 8-hour timer that can be programmed in 30 minute increments with ease, and a multi-colored LCD that displays all fan functions and the room temperature.
Assembling this tower fan is so easy. It only take 3 screws to put it together, and viola! It's amazing to look at. This fan is extremely quiet and safe. I love the fact that it has an easy carry handle. Plus,  it comes with an 8-hour programmable timer that allows you to save energy and to prevent the overheating of the tower fan at the same time. Compared to traditional fans and other tower fans that we've had over the years, this fan puts out more air than I've expected. I was pleased and impressed with the unique and cool design. I would highly recommend this fan.

Need Building Materials?

When it comes to choosing building materials for the construction or renovation of your home, you’ll find that there are different factors to consider in deciding which specific materials to buy. One of your major considerations would be the cost. If you search online for building materials, you’ll see that their prices vary widely.

Although, like most buyers, you may be inclined to look for the cheapest products, it is important to keep in mind that the quality of the product is also important. Buying cheap and low-quality products will prove to be more costly since you will end up buying building materials again since their life span is considerably shorter. If you want to make sure that you’re only getting quality building materials, you need to find a reputable supplier.

If you haven’t had any experience with a building materials supplier before and you don’t know how to choose among the many suppliers in your area, there are ways for you to find the right supplier. You can ask for feedback and recommendations from friends and relatives who have recently had their homes built or renovated. You can also go online and search for information about building materials suppliers in your area.

There are customer feedback and BuildDirect reviews that are posted online that you can read to give you an idea of the quality of products and services that suppliers offer. These reviews can provide you with the information that you need to help you decide whether a specific supplier can provide you with the high quality and affordable building materials that you need.

So what are you waiting for? For more details, you might want to visit their website or like them on Facebook to get updates. BuildDirect is an online manufacturer/wholesaler of building materials. They offer several lines of flooring, decking, siding, tile, and other building materials to sell to any party able to meet their minimum order quantities.

Fresh Pan Pizza from #PapaMurphys

As moms, we all want to serve our families a delicious and hot meal, straight from the oven, but sometimes our busy schedules get in the way. That's why we love Papa Murphy's Take 'n' Bake Pizza. Not only is a Papa Murphy's pizza made to order and completely customizable with your favorite fresh ingredients, you control when it's hot and ready because you get to pop it in the oven and serve it fresh to your family.
Who doesn't love Papa Murphy's? We have pizza and movie most Friday nights, and Papa Murphy's is our number one place to go. We love going to Papa Murphy's because they make the pizza fresh right in front of you and it's never greasy unlike other pizza joints, Papa Murphy's doesn't make you pay extra for doing so.  
So the other day we ordered a large 5-Meat Stuffed pizza, cheesy bread and a 2-liter soda for only $20.00. What a great deal!
Each pizza is wrapped in its own plastic wrap with baking instructions. Also, you can freeze them and keep them just like a frozen pizza but so much better than your grocery store frozen pizza.
 The cheesy bread is a scratch-made dough topped with herb garlic spread, provolone, and cheddar with a side of marinara dipping sauce.
The 5-Meat Stuffed pizza is made of two layers of dough stuffed with red sauce, canadian bacon, pepperoni, sausage, bacon and topped with red sauce, ground beef, and cheese.
Dinner is served! Papa Murphy's Fresh Pan pizza is a must-try for serious pizza lovers! The irresistible buttery crust bakes up golden brown and perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. We always have a PAN-tastic experience with Papa Murphy's. What a good meal for a good price!

Post Valentine Dinner Date

How's your Valentine's day everyone? Valentine night was like any regular Friday night in our household. We took our daughter to her gymnastics practice and ordered some sandwiches from Scholotzky. 
 Hubby thought about taking us to dinner but we already had reservations at the base for the post Valentine dinner celebration.
So we went to the base the next day and celebrated our post Valentine dinner date. 


After dinner, we watched the Lackland Performing Arts Group performed. Education of Angels is a full dinner show at Arnold hall with live music to start the night and a gift for all the ladies.
It was a great night! It's good to see military people performing on stage. We would definitely love to do it again.

Choice Home Warranty | Top Rated Home Warranty

If you are in the process of buying your first home, there are certain factors that you need to consider before you go ahead and purchase the property that you like. As a potential homeowner, it is important that you don‘t only prepare for the initial costs of buying a home but also anticipate the unexpected expenses that home maintenance require. In order to protect yourself from expensive home repairs, you should look into home warranty and the many benefits that it offers. Home warranty is a contract between the homeowner and the home warranty service company that covers the repair or replacement of any of the components or major appliances in your home. The repair of any of your home’s major components such as the plumbing, furnace or electrical system can be very costly and a home warranty provides you with a more affordable way of dealing with these unforeseen expenses. When your plumbing needs to be repaired, for instance, you only need to call your home warranty company and they will send one of their service providers to examine the problem. Depending on the coverage of the home warranty plan that you have acquired, you can expect the service provider to make the necessary repairs or replacement that your plumbing system needs. The same principle also applies when an appliance unexpectedly breaks down. The service provider that the home warranty company will send to your house will repair your appliance or if needed, have certain parts replaced to make sure that your appliance will again function properly. Home warranty companies offer different polices. You just have to choose a home warranty plan that does not only fit your budget but more importantly, provides the coverage that your home needs. With the right policy, you will be assured that you don’t have to worry about dealing with unexpected and costly home repairs. For more details, you should visit Choice Home Warranty or check out Choice Home Warranty’s Twitter page today!

Daughter's New Hair Cut

I've been begging my daughter to trim her hair for quite sometime now and she would give me a definite "NO!" answer. I never stopped asking her everyday...lol! She finally gave in a couple of weekends ago.
I had a hard time trimming her hair at first because she has this natural wavy hair. While I was trying to figure out what to do, the light bulb went off in my head!...IRON IT, knucklehead....lol!
The whole process was super quick and easy. I even gave her bangs, but that was a total mistake because I forgot about her wavy hair. Now she can't wait to grow them back...lol!  Despite of the bangs incident, I had an awesome customer that day. 
Parents if you want to save time and money on your kid's haircuts, you don't have to go to the salon, especially if all your child needs is a trim. You can do it yourself!

Embellished Gymnast Halo from #UrbanHalo

My daughter has been in gymnastics for awhile now. She loves going to the gym every week and never wants to stop practicing. As a mom, I am happy and so proud by her determination. One thing that she don't like to be doing is when she's putting on her leotards and fixing her hair. She hates me when I do her hair...lol! Hey, you don't want your hair in your face when you are doing gymnastics.
I'm glad I found an awesome replacement for her traditional headbands, introducing UrbanHalo headband. Yay, no more whining and crying! UrbanHalo is a unique and fashionable line of headbands. They are functional for workouts, can spice up the typical ponytail, yet be fashionable. Perfect for moms and little girls.
My daughter loved her new Embellished Gymnast Halo! She thought it's comfortable to wear and it stays in her hair very well, unlike most headbands. This versatile headband has been hand-crafted using a soft lycra fabric. Its unique design featuring raw edges, offers you the ability to wear your headband wide, narrow or scrunched. Great for workouts and run errands.  No sweat, no slip, no headache, it's like a hug for your head. I would highly recommend this product!

#ChordBuddy Jr. Kids Guitar

My husband grew up in a musically inclined family, I'm not! They love to sing songs and play musical instruments. Some of his nephews and nieces are actually in a band. On the other hand, my seven year old daughter is eager to learn how to play the piano and wanting to be a guitar player as well.
So we bought her an inexpensive little guitar to play with but it didn't last for awhile. The strings were broken and needs to be in tune. Oh my, what a piece of junk! I'm glad I found the best kid guitar in the world, introducing the ChordBuddy Jr. Have you ever seen or heard of this guitar before? The ChordBuddy Jr is the only guitar in the world a 4-8 year old can play instantly! Chordbuddy Jr is a REAL guitar in miniature - this is NOT a toy, it's a real guitar with all the quality and features of a full size acoustic guitar.
My daughter had a blast learning! She enjoyed watching the DVD tutorial and after doing a few practices, she was able to play some songs. The DVD allows her to work on strumming, rhythm and timing skills, build finger strength and dexterity as well as ear training without worrying about how to make chords. I can tell how she loved her new ChordBuddy guitar. ChordBuddy is not only for kids but they also offer both acoustic and electric dreadnought-sized guitars suitable for any beginning guitarist.

Included in the ChordBuddy Jr. ($169 MSRP) is a miniature dreadnaught guitar from the Perry’s Guitar line that comes with a DVD, songbook and digital tuner. This guitar makes a great gift for kids and is a great value for the money. I would highly recommend the ChordBuddy Jr to everyone!

What makes Chord Buddy the best?
• It gets you playing from day one
• It makes learning to play the guitar fun and easy
• It allows you to progress faster, without seeming like work or learning at all
• It's a proven, effective, all-in-one system, suitable for all ages

Bonding with Tina

My family and I went to Cali last month to attend my FIL's funeral, and stayed at my BIL's house in the bay area. During our stay, the daughter got to spend time with my BIL's dog, Tina.
  She is so fond of her. She even told us that she liked that dog than our dog, Buddy....lol! Her excuse was "Buddy is big and Tina is small. I like small dogs". Well, she's been wanting a lap dog for awhile.
 Tina is the sweetest and well-behaved pooch. She's half beagle and labrador mix.
