Fine China or Forgotten China?

Nadia Lawand — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 02:24:55 +0000

Many of us have a set of fine china that we got as a wedding gift or passed down from our parents. Many of those beautiful sets are collecting dust in a china cabinet or a box in the basement. Why is that? Why do we aquire beautiful things and then never use them!

I’ve heard so many people say that they are for special occassions… but how do you define that! Why not get out your fine china every so often and treat yourself to eating wonderful food on beautiful china!

My hubby and I have made it a point to use our china as much as we can and let me tell you it really does make an ordinary dinner, extraordinary!

Don’t let your fine china sit and collect dust, use it!!

Make Your Overworking Spouse Smile!

Want to make your overworking spouse smile? Have dinner, music, a clean house and a calm atmosphere waiting when they get home from a rough or long day!

Today I had to stay at work later than usual and the thought of such a short evening with things around the house waiting for me only made me more nervous.

Needless to say, this wasn’t the case when I got home. Jason had dinner ready, the table set, a bottle of wine and everything tidied up in the house. We were able to sit down and chat about our days before it got too late. Now I’m smiling, relaxed and happy!

Next time your spouse calls to say they have to stay late at work…. don’t forget to make them smile when they get home!

Return to Sender

If you recently moved you know that you need to notify people of the address change. This is common sense! I receive at least 1 piece of mail every single day from the past residence of my home. It has been over a hear and I am still getting their mail! How is it that after a year you let someone receive your bank, credit card, phone, water, personal mail? I have tried to call the bank a few times to get the mail to stop but the bank told me that they can’t do anything unless that person stops it.

In the meantime I have been putting all the mail I get back into the mailbox to return to sender! Does anyone know what to do?

Use That Phone

As many of you know there are two devises that I always have with me, my Blackberry and IPod Touch! This is not a review or a comparison of different devises just an info blog about what they are good for besides calling. I have the two devises because my Blackberry is like my personal assistant and my IPod Touch is my laptop, I have over 70 apps on my IPod Touch and maybe 3 songs.. Personally I can’t have it all on one devise but that’s me.

People have to learn that their phone is their best friend and should be used as such. Not only is it an amazing communication devise with phone calls, voice mail, texting or emailing but can be used to keep your appointments and ToDo lists. In many cases these higher tech phones have specific apps to help you in your everyday life.

As our lives get busier, it gets harder to remember all the things we needs to do…both for work and personal. A cell phone can help you stay on track!
