Wishes Can Come True!

Let’s face it, maybe it is time we all turn off our TV’s and quit listening to the media about our failing economic system and political chaos. All the media hype only intensifies our fears and dwindles down our hopes and dreams.

Many of us have made bad decisions over the past couple of years that are coming back to haunt us during this period of time when wonder at all if the American Dream is still alive. Ideally, most will recover and be better for it. Universally, we need to not only concentrate on raising the level of economic activity, but also work to raise the standard for values and ethics of those influential to our economic systems.  One of the best places for us to start individually is in our own homes with our own children.

Maybe if we depend on faith, hope and believe in a little bit of luck we will find that the dream is still alive.

Personally, I think we all need our own “wishing wells” to force us to take the timeouts we need to focus on the important things we want in life. On a much lighter note……seriously!  Here is the Wishing Well I am talking about.  Slowing down and spending more time in our backyards will help us find that balance we all strive to own.  As we struggle… just having the optimism and ability to have hope and wish for a better life is what keeps us going….

Go Make Your Wish Come True!!

Outdoor Rugs For Your Outside Living Spaces

Outdoor Rugs

Decorators have fallen in love with All Weather Indoor /Outdoor Rugs for their beauty and versatility. Homeowners love these attractive, durable accent pieces because they can take abuse from weather, children, pets, and they are incredibly easy to clean.  All Weather Rugs are usually made of weather-resistant polypropylene also known as Olefin. Most are ecologically friendly Bamboo Rugs with  non-skid latex backing for safety. Most outdoor rugs  are soil, stain, and fade resistant, and they look just as good indoors as they do outside.

Treat your outdoor deck, patio, or covered porch like another room in your home. Use an all weather rug to define a seating area and provide a little underfoot comfort at the same time. Many outdoor rugs come in a wide variety of sizes, so you are sure to find a size and style for your front or back porch, entry way, dining room, living room, or deck. For a dining area, you’ll need about 4 feet larger on each side of your dining table to accommodate chairs without feeling cramped.

Cleaning your all weather rug is a breeze. Just hose them off and let them air dry. For tougher stains, mild soap and water are all that is required.
