Posted: Jan. 25th, 2012 | Comments 1 |      The best part of camping is getting to enjoy the great outdoors and feel a real connection with nature. The worst part of camping is feeling exposed to the elements and feeling far away from civilization. The solution is a Sweetwater Bungalow, which brings luxury into the great outdoors — or the backyard. Sweetwater Bungalow’s prefabricated semi-permanent structures can be used anywhere, for any reason; whether you want a quiet getaway in the backyard or wherever else your adventures take you. In the summer months, it could even be used as a creative guesthouse (intrepid bungalow owners have even been known to install toilets and heat sources). The new a Read more…

Personality is definitely present in this home! Shiva began with a severely outdated house and undertook an extensive renovation to make it a special home for her girls. It is packed with feminine elements (check out all the light fixtures) and anyone who enters the home feels loved.

Everyone in the house has their own unique personality. The youngest daughter loves dresses and dolls, but will also pick up a worm in a heartbeat. The oldest daughter is 16, so she is focused on fashion and finally being able to drive.

Raising a houseful of princesses comes naturally to me. Ive raised three of them. They are smart, girl-power-super-strong-and-independent, sparkly sprites who love to dress in fluffy pink things when they are small and sometimes even when they grow up (where the sparkles miraculously turn into jewels). They also love boy stuff. But at the end of the day, if they had to pick one thing in their heart of hearts, it would be a princess. But the other day, it occurred to me…where are all the princes?

Princes who often can ride horses, fight to the death, waltz (!), and sing love songs. But if you go to Disney, there are no prince costume stores. N

Come on, now. Everyone thinks they can hang a new LCD or plasma television. I’m reminded about what Mike Tyson said about boxing, “Everyone has a plan ’till they get punched in the mouth.”

I’ve seen a $1,899 LCD television, face down, on a wood floor after it fell from the mount and it wasn’t pretty. Here in the Seattle area you can spend around $375 to call in contractor to hang a wall mount and large screen TV.  Basic guaranteed service includes the mount installation, TV set-up, and plugging in additional components (VCR, Blu-Ray, and satellite or cable box). You’ll pay more to have a new wall box, wall plates, a  new electrical outlet behind the TV, or in installing full-motion mounts.

Or, you can do it yourself

Relax; it’s a minor home improvement effort. It’s not like you’ll be building a home recording studio. The most-critical step in it all is finding the mount that easily supports the full weight of your new TV.

The tag of the mount may insist it hangs up to a certain diagonally-sized television. Or the teen clerk wit
