Family Barbeque Bonding Times
I love weekends for it is the time where we can spend the whole day of Sunday at my brother’s house as a whole family. It is always our tradition to have lunch all together, mom always tries to cook her fave recipe or sometimes if I have time or if I’m in the mood, I also cook for lunch. Meanwhile, my eldest brother is the one who loves to do the grilling on our BBQ grill, grilling tilapia (our local fish), pork chop or liempo and sometimes my fave spicy chicken wings. I have to boast that my brother makes the best rub for chicken wings!
Ahhh, I just love barbeque! The smell of the burning charcoal and the aroma of the grilled meat are enough to make me salivate and make me hungrier. My family always enjoy eating together while chatting and just having fun at our patio. If we also have time, we go on a picnic out of town, have some barbeque and do some sight seeing. It’s always a fun family bonding.
I have noticed most families have barbecue grills either at their patios or poolside where they can grill their fave meat there. These days bbq grills have become modern and we have now choices whether we like it by charcoal, wood or by electric. If you’re going to ask me nothing beats grilling meat using a charcoal for it brings out the savory aroma of the meat and it is the classic way of doing so. For those that don’t want to be bothered by putting coals, they opt for electric ones. Whatever you prefer, barbequing is always fun most especially when you do it with your friends and family.
I have come to know that one of the good sources of modern outdoor kitchens, barbeque grills and more is at Outdora. Check out their myriad of bbq grills that you can take home to your backyards. Now that summer and weekend are here again plus the graduation of my niece and nephews are coming, our family will be setting our bbq grills on fire once more! Love it!

Who doesn’t want to have their own house? I guess all married couples recently married of have been married for many years now but still renting or sharing home with their in-laws have no doubts that they wanted to have their own space. It’s always nice to have your own haven where you can decorate and make arrangements with no reservations and no apprehension of being scolded fro doing so.
I am happy for my online friend because with only house floor plans in her hands few months ago but now they are already building their little mansion as she fondly calls it. I know happiness is overwhelming for her and her husband for in no time they will be moving soon this year.
My sister who is also have plans of building their dream house is actually finalizing some more details on their house plans and with the looks of it, it’s gonna be a big house. I can’t wait to see it finally building.
For many, it may seem impossible at first to build a house but with faith in God and of course saving money nothing is impossible. All you have to do is believe and dream, in fact, there’s also HousePlansandMore.com that can help you with your floor plans and you can get their services for more professional services on your cabin plans, house plans wherein they will incorporate their designs according to your liking.

Neat Looking Dining Area is a Must
As usual I had some time to browse decorogy to get some ideas and inspirations once again eventhough I have no plans of redecorating or renovating our house or even my room in the near future. The budget is still in question and just thinking about the money and how messy it will be to renovate makes me erase tha thought right away.
Anyway, I just feasted my eyes with the new designs over at decorology.com and I was really impressed and makes me yearn for a neat, clean, sleek and contemporary house. This dining room looks so neat with white decors and with ample light coming in. There’s no tiles on the flooring yet it looks elegant.

House Owner Paints his House Burberry Look
The owner of this house for sure loves Burberry that he even painted the outside with a Burberry look. Quite interesting and eye-cathching and definitely a great idea on his sleeve. I guess I want to see a Coach painted house soon hehe.
I’m also a bit curious on what is inside the house or his closet. Are we going to see some posh decors and burberry items in there too. Are the toggle switches unique enough to wow us? I hope the owener can let us in.

Everyone Needs a Home
With the high pay of monthly rentals at the apartments or home rentals, I guess most of us dream of owning our own house and be free from those monthly dues. Even if it is small for start as long it is your own then it is wonderful. I pity those that have no homes to stay and here in our part of the world you could see many families living on shanties and even on the streets. Such an awful sight but due to poverty they can’t really afford to have one. They have been struggling for food in the 1st place so getting nice home for their family is but a dream.
While those that can afford can build a mansion of their own while some others prefer getting one of those mobile homes particularly across the US where they can just choose the design, size and other specifications.

10 Smart Uses for Old Plastic Bags
I found this article 10 Smart Uses for Old Plastic Bags By Sarah Engler and I found this very clever. I know I can use old plastic bags to load some other stuff but never realized that we can use this also as what she stated:
1. As Knee Pads – that we can use for gardening
2. As Hand Protectors
3. As Paintbrush Preservers
4. As Makeshift Rain Hats
5. As Kitchen-Cleanup Aids
6. As Wrapping Paper
7. As Wet Umbrella Holders
8. As Shoe Protectors
9. As Cookbook Protectors
10. As Planter Fillers

Wow! These are great ideas that we can actually do.

Bold Colors for Your Home
My sister has just sold their Sydney home and now she is on the look out for an apartment to stay next month as they will prepare to build their dream house still in NSW area. Their sold house was not big enough for their growing family so I can understand their feverish desire to build a big new home.
Actually she’s been scouring the net for some great home decors that she will try to implement and she frequents this decor blog http://decorology.blogspot.com/ for some great ideas. I know she will have hard time packing as she is now and unpacking is another thing. The only reward she can get is when her dream house is built already with all the new appliance (ref. with 4396510, LCD TV etc) and furniture in it. I am so excited for her.
Ahh just take a look at this bold blue color that matches with white

Sexy Paint Colors
So what is your idea of sexiness in terms of colors. We can easily think about Red .. right? But what if I say that black is sexy would you agree with me too?
Here is what I found here;
“Black Satin
“Black is dramatic and daring. It has that forbidden quality, which is irresistible. I think of sexy black negligees and fast black cars. A room painted black is a place where you can tell secrets. The semigloss finish gives it an edge, like patent leather, and makes everything pop. You have to be very confident to use black, and that kind of confidence is very attractive.” -NANCY BOSZHARDT
