Why are products removed from my shopping cart?

How do I pay for my order?

Is my credit card secure?
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our customers is of utmost concern to us. We take great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. For instance, when credit card information is transmitted, we use the industry standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. SSL encryption is a method by which information is encrypted while being transmitted over the Internet. While no method is completely impenetrable, SSL is the state-of-the-art encryption technology used in e-commerce today. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

My Urban Child, a subsidiary of My Shack, Inc. wants to provide a safe and secure environment for your shopping experience. It is very important that we maintain the privacy of your personal information. Click here for our complete Privacy Policy.
What is the Return and Exchange Policy?
Is the item you received not what you expected? Did it not fit as well as you hoped in your space or match your décor? Whatever the reason, we will assist you in resolving the issue with the highest level of customer service. (Note: If your item was damaged or defective, see our Damage Policy section below.) We are proud to offer one of the best return policies in the online business. Most products can be returned within 30 days of receipt for an exchange or a refund of the purchase price excluding our shipping and handling costs (and sometimes restocking fees depending on the manufacturer). Some of our products are offered with free shipping, so please be aware that if you return one of these products our actual outbound shipping costs can still be deducted from your return refund. If a product arrives damaged, or we made an error, and it cannot be remedied with replacement parts we will pay to return the item to us and send a replacement to you.
Please keep in mind that once an order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled. If you refuse an order, it will then fall under our standard return policy. You may return most purchases within 30 days of receipt. Please note: certain items are not returnable such as custom made products and furniture (product pages will offer information in this regard).
To return an item using our Standard Return Policy:
- Please email email@example.com and include your original order number, what product(s) you are returning, and your name. Or call us at (888) 272-9820. After processing your request, we will email you an RMA number and a return shipping address.
- Wrap the package carefully. All returned products must be in original condition and packaging; otherwise, additional charges may be applied.
- Return the product using your preferred shipping method to the address you are provided. This may be our main office or to a distribution center.
- Save your return tracking number, and if possible, email it to us so that we can track the return. It is important that you save the tracking number and that you insure the return package in case there are any issues during transit.
- Please Note: Unless the return or exchange is due to an error on our part, we cannot always refund shipping and handling. We will issue a credit to the credit card used for the original purchase.
All returned products must be in original condition and packaging; otherwise, additional charges may be applied. Unfortunately, we cannot take returns of products that have been assembled or modified. Additionally, certain products cannot be returned because neither we nor our suppliers can take them back. If you have any questions about whether a product can be returned, please call us.
What If My Order Arrives Damaged?
Our products are well-packaged to withstand damage during shipping. We double-box many items, and refuse to carry products that are easily damaged during shipping. If an item looks damaged or parts are missing, please notify us. We will make every effort to help you obtain the necessary replacements as quickly as possible at no extra cost to you. If your order is shipping by Truck Freight, or White Glove, please note the important instructions below.
If Shipped via Truck Freight or White Glove
- Even if the package appears only slightly damaged, write "Package Damaged" when you sign for delivery. This is VERY important. If the package looks significantly damaged, you may refuse delivery of the package. The damaged package will be returned to us and we will send you a new one. If you refuse delivery, please notify us so that we can expect the return shipment.
- If you have already accepted the package and find that parts are missing or damaged, please contact us right away and we will ship you the replacement parts free of charge. Speed matters since most carriers only let us file freight claims within 48 hours of delivery. If we cannot replace the parts, we will have the carrier pick up the package and we will send you a replacement. All returned products should be in the original packaging.
Our goal is to make buying online easy, safe and efficient. If your item is problematic due to a manufacturer's defect, we can either replace the defective part, or if necessary, the entire unit. We stand behind our products and maintain great relationships with the manufacturers who produce them. If you are having an issue, please contact us and we will make every effort to resolve it.
What is the Shipping Policy?
We will ship your order using the fastest, safest, and most reliable method possible. Therefore, we have established strong relationships with some of the best delivery companies nationwide. Every product on our site has been carefully selected to ship by a particular shipping method in order to provide you with an optimal delivery experience. When your order ships, we will notify you via email. Included in your email will be a link to access to the tracking number for your shipment. We encourage you to track your package online or on the phone with the carrier. Most companies can provide an estimated delivery date. Be sure to contact us if anything seems unusual with the progress of the shipment. We have four methods of shipment available: Small Parcel, Truck Freight - Back of Truck, Truck Freight - Threshold, and White Glove services when available.
We have partnered with Bongo International Parcel and Mail Forwarding to service international customers. Please visit their site to obtain a US address to designate in the "Ship To" portion of the check out process and we will process the order immediately. Our Free Shipping policy is applied to this US address prior to forwarding to your location by Bongo International (with the standard free shipping exceptions applied).
Small Parcel: Whenever possible we will ship smaller, lighter items via UPS, FEDEX, DHL or USPS. These companies provide the fastest and most reliable method of shipping available for many items we sell. Depending on how close you are to the shipping warehouse, your item will arrive between 1 and 6 business days (1 to 10 business days for USPS) after it leaves the warehouse.
We do not require an adult signature for deliveries, but please note that the decision to leave your package without a signature is at the discretion of the delivery person. If you want an item left at your doorstep, the best thing to do is leave a note on your door asking the driver to leave your package with "No Signature Required." Be sure to include your name and tracking number on the note.
Truck Freight - Back of Truck: Many items we sell are too large or too heavy to ship using a Small Parcel carrier. Therefore, our best option is to ship it to you using a common carrier. Truck freight is different than standard UPS, FedEx or US Mail in that you will be responsible for carrying the product from the back of the truck into your house (or wherever it's going). Truck Freight also differs from Small Parcel in that, for residential deliveries, you will be contacted by the shipping carrier to schedule a delivery appointment. Most companies offer appointment windows (usually 2-4 hours) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The most important thing to remember about truck freight is that you must inspect the package at the time of delivery. If the box has any damage, or if there is any reason for you to be at all concerned about damage, please write "PRODUCT DAMAGED" clearly on the sheet that they ask you to sign. This simply insures that if there is any damage, it will be easy to take care of the problem. If you are ordering a very large item, please keep in mind that you may need a couple of people to help unload it. Alternatively, most truck freight companies offer additional services to help you move items from the truck into your house. Once we email you the tracking information you can contact the shipper directly to inquire about additional services. You would be responsible for directly paying the truck freight carrier for any additional services.
Truck Freight Threshold: This method is just like "Truck Freight - Back of Truck" (see above), only the truck freight company will deliver your order to the threshold if yours is a residential delivery (this means to your garage or front door), or to the loading dock if yours is a commercial delivery. Unfortunately, they are not authorized to perform any assembly services nor can they put it in the room of your choice. Once we email you the tracking information you can contact the shipper directly to arrange for any additional services that you would like. You will be responsible for directly paying the truck freight carrier for these additional services.
When Will My Order Arrive?
Every product on our site has an estimated Lead Time - the number of business days it takes for an item to be processed and prepared for shipment at the warehouse. To provide you with the greatest selection on the internet, we ship from warehouses all over the country. Each lead time varies based on many different factors. Some warehouses stock items that can be shipped the same day or within 24 hours. Others items require a longer time (e.g. 2-4 weeks). Each product page on our site includes the estimated Lead Time, "Usually ships in ________ ," to give you an idea how quickly your order will leave the warehouse.
For Small Parcel shipments, delivery usually takes between 1 and 6 business days (except for USPS which ships in 1-10 business days) after your order is picked up from the warehouse. For expedited services such as 3-day, 2nd Day or Next Day Air, your order's travel time is locked in to the given speed you select after the item leaves the warehouse. You should remember that the estimated Lead Time still applies before the item ships out. Be sure to consult the product's Lead Time before you order with expedited shipping, and call us if you have any questions or concerns.
For Truck Freight shipments, delivery usually takes between 3 and 10 days from when your order ships. For residential deliveries, you will be contacted for an appointment as soon as your order arrives at the local terminal. For commercial deliveries, no appointment will be made. If you need to make one, please contact us.
For White Glove shipments, delivery usually takes between 1 and 4 weeks from the time the items leave the warehouse. Your order will travel through a nationwide network of professional moving companies who will handle your item(s) with the utmost care. You will be contacted for a delivery appointment when your order reaches the delivery agent. Although the items are handled carefully throughout transit, we require that our orders undergo a thorough inspection at the delivery agent before delivery. We take extra steps to make sure your item is delivered in perfect condition.
What items are included in Free Shipping?
Items marked FREE SHIPPING! on the product page will ship for free! In order to keep your costs down and our pricing simple, we either provide free shipping or, in certain cases, charge a small shipping fee per items under $90 (exceptions to this policy are below). This charge, if any, is indicated in your shopping cart and covers ground shipping within the continental United States. We won't surprise you with any hidden charges or handling fees. The price you see in the shopping cart is the price you pay, with one exception: if you are shipping an order to Texas, we are required to charge sales tax. Please refer to the following to understand the specific shipping rates for items that are under $90:
- $0 - $25 - Shipping Cost is $6.95
- $26 - $50 - Shipping Cost is $8.95
- $51 - $90 - Shipping Cost is $9.95
- Shipping is Free for orders $90 and over in the continental U.S. (*please see exceptions to this policy below)
If you would like to request a shipping option not offered with a product, such as expedited service or international shipping, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will be happy to respond with the options available.
We have partnered with Bongo International to service international customers. Please visit their site to obtain a US address to designate in the "Ship To" portion of the check out process and we will process the order immediately. Our Free Shipping policy is applied to this US address prior to forwarding to your location by Bongo International (with the standard free shipping exceptions applied).
The manufacturers of NurseryWorks, Maclaren's Netto Collection and TrueModern do not allow us to offer the free shipping promotion, therefore shipping would vary based on the product selected for these vendors. These are subject to change and upon notification, our site is updated accordingly. We invite you to contact us firstname.lastname@example.com or toll free at 888-272-9820 at anytime that you have a question or would like verification or clarification of these policies.
Do you Ship Internationally?
We have partnered with Bongo International to service international customers. Please visit their site to obtain a US address to designate in the "Ship To" portion of the check out process and we will process the order immediately. Our Free Shipping policy is applied to this US address prior to forwarding to your location by Bongo International (with the standard free shipping exceptions applied).
How Do I Cancel My Order?
If for any reason you find that you need to cancel an order, change an item in an order, or change the shipping address, please call us at (888) 272-9820. Generally we cannot cancel an order once it has shipped from the warehouse. Therefore the sooner you call the better our chance of catching the order in time. If we are unable to make the change before the order is processed and shipped, you may need to return the item. Please see our return policy for details.
Do I have to pay Sales Tax?
One of the best things about buying through My Urban Child is that we do not have to charge sales tax, with one notable exception: orders shipping to destinations in the state of Alabama will be subject to sales tax. However, My Urban Child is not responsible for individual States' sales tax reporting laws pertaining to online purchases, so we encourage you to check your State's regulations before you shop.

First Major Hong Kong Business Mission in Kazakhstan
Five-Day Mission Includes Stops in Almaty and Astana
20 May 2013 – Some 30 companies and 36 businesspeople from Hong Kong are in Kazakhstan looking for trade, investment and partnership opportunities with Kazakhstan companies.
The five-day business mission, which continues through 24 May, was organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). The mission is supported by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce and the Kazakhstan Consulate to Hong Kong and Macao SAR.
China Opportunities
A networking seminar, "Hong Kong – Helping Manage Opportunities and Challenges in China," was held today in Almaty to encourage business cooperation between Kazakhstan and Hong Kong companies. More than 120 Kazakhstan business leaders attended the seminar, luncheon and Q&A session. Seminar speakers were: Grigori Marchenko, Governor of the National Bank of Kazakhstan, Zhumabek Zhanykulov, Chairman of the KAZKA Association, Raymond Yip, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, Neville Shroff, Chairman of the Europe Committee, Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, and Sergio Men, Vice Chairman of the Europe Committee, Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce.
Trade Promise
"This is the first major business mission Hong Kong has ever organised to your country," HKTDC Assistant Executive Director Raymond Yip told the seminar participants. He said that they were in Kazakhstan "to see, first-hand, the remarkable promise of Kazakhstan. Here to expand trade between our two economies."
Direct Air Services a Boon
Mr Yip noted that the 2011 launching of direct cargo services and passenger flights between Almaty and Hong Kong, on Air Astana, had been "a boon to trade" between the two economies.
Targeting Young Consumers
The Hong Kong mission counts members from a wide variety of manufacturing industries, including electronics and consumer appliances, gifts, toys and baby products, watches, clothing and auto parts. "They produce the quality, stylish, value-for-money products that Kazakhstan's young and expanding consumer class are looking for," said Mr Yip. He added that a number of financial and professional services professionals were also among the mission delegates.
One-to-one business-matching meetings were arranged between the Hong Kong mission members and company leaders from Kazakhstan.
Astana Economic Forum Visit
The Hong Kong mission will attend the sixth Astana Economic Forum in Astana on 22 May. There, Mr Yip will speak at the forum's Eurasian Business Congress under the theme of Kazakhstan's imminent accession to the World Trade Organization.
Another business-matching event will be arranged with the KAZKA Association, 23 May, in Astana.
Global Trade Leader
Hong Kong has been a member of the WTO since 1995. It is the world's ninth-largest trading economy and the 11th largest exporter of commercial services.

- 3 big onions
- 3 fresh red chili peppers
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 2 dl olive oil
- 400 g chopped tomatoes
- 1 jar kalamata olives
- Parsley
- Salt
This is my take of this wonderful and simple dish that has been a standard in my family for two decades. We first learned about it in a paper interview with late François Bronett – a famous circus director. It's safe to say this dish have had a big impact on my culinary life and been a big part of my chili pepper intake!
This dish is perfect for serving many people as it is simple, fast and tasty! Parsley was not in the original recipe and I usually make this without olives which makes it a very simple dish with few ingredients. These ingredients are always present in my kitchen which could explain why this is my most commonly made dish. Which in turn explains why I am a real acrobat!

Growing up I heard John, go to school, do your homework, get good grades and get a good job in the city. We lived outside of NYC in Jersey. That's what all my buddies heard from their parents. But something didn't settle with me about that plan. It had a limit, I was limited by my time if my earnings were all about my work and my time.
Over the years I found that my definition of success wasn't having a good job. For me, I wanted time freedom, for me I wanted to be able to do what I want here I want with whom I wanted.
See I never got that "Good Job" I started my own business, I had a taste of entrepreneurship back in 78. Yep I was only 10 but my mind was already working. I remember hearing my dad say "Jesus Christ people are gonna have heart attacks shovling this shit!" They were going to have a heart attack cause they were out of shape and older. My dad's buddy Maxxy said hey "Johnny, Shovel my driveway and Ill give 2 Sawbucks (aka $20)"
I'm 10 years old and I'm thinking $20 bucks hell yea! In Today's delicate fragile political correct world Maxxy and my old man probably would have went to jail making a little kid shovel sooo much snow.
So as Im shoveling away, the neighbor spots me and says Johnny when you get done come do mine. OK Mrs. G I replied, another $20 and my first introduction to referral based marketing. In one day I made $80 shoveling the neighbors snow. I was friggin 10years old. SUCCESS!!!!!!!
I tell you this because that is when I realized not knowing I realized it at the time. I was responsible for my success, not some boss or board of directors. ME, Johnny, John Cassidy. So I went on to become an Serial Entrepreneur. Now at 48 I realize success isnt the money, its time and money.
The businesses I build now are for me to work less and have more. More Time, More Money, More Friends, More Experiences. That is what will make me Rich.
What is Success for you?
Until next time. Keep being Cool Keep being successful.

Planning a pregnancy
In partnership with:
Folic acid is a vitamin (B9). It is found in certain foods and it can also be taken as tablets.
If you're planning to have a baby, it's important that you take folic acid tablets for two to three months before you conceive. This allows it to build up in your body to a level that gives the most protection to your future baby against neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
As you could get pregnant within a month of trying, it is ideal to start taking folic acid tablets two months before you stop contraception. If you have already stopped contraception, that's OK, start taking it now and until week 12 of pregnancy.
You can also try to eat more foods that contain folate, which is the natural form of folic acid. However, even a healthy diet does not have enough folic acid for pregnancy so taking folic acid tablets is very important.
If you end up taking folic acid tablets for far longer than two to three months this is perfectly OK and not harmful.
Are you ready to conceive? Use our tool to find out.
Why should I take folic acid?
If you have the right level of folic acid in your body before you get pregnant, it reduces the risk of the baby developing neural tube defects by up to 70%. Neural tube defects are problems with the brain or spinal cord, including spina bifida.
Spina bifida is not common but it can cause a wide range of problems for the baby, including:
How much folic acid should I take?
Most women are advised to take a 400mcg supplement every day. You can get these from most pharmacies, supermarkets, and health food shops. Your GP may also be able to prescribe them to you.
You can also get folic acid in some pregnancy multivitamin tablets. If you do, make sure the tablet does not contain vitamin A. High doses of vitamin A can cause developmental problems in the first three months of pregnancy.
You can also try to eat foods that contain folate. These include:
Eating foods high in folate alone will not be enough to give the best protection to the baby so it is important to take the tablet too.
Some people need a higher dose of folic acid
If you have a higher risk of having a pregnancy affected by neural tube defects you will be advised to take a higher dose of 5mg folic acid.
You may have a higher risk if:
- you have diabetes
- you or your partner have a neural tube defect
- you have had a previous pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect
- you or your partner have a family history of neural tube defects
- you have epilepsy
- you are a heavy drinker.
To get a higher dose talk to your doctor because 5mg tablets aren't available without a prescription.
Where do I get folic acid?
Folic acid can be found in lots of branded pre-pregnancy vitamins. These are not harmful but can sometimes be expensive. It is often cheaper to buy folic acid separately rather than buying expensive branded supplements.
Do not take vitamin A supplements or any supplements containing vitamin A, such as liver or fish oil. High doses of Vitamin A can cause developmental problems in the first three months of pregnancy.
If you receive certain benefits or are under 18 you may be eligible for free vitamins when you become pregnant.
Healthy Start
Healthy Start is a UK-wide scheme that provides free vitamins, including folic acid. You also get free weekly vouchers for milk, plain fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables and infant formula milk.
You qualify if you are on benefits and:
- you are at least 10 weeks pregnant
- have children under the age of four
All pregnant women under the age of 18 qualify – whether they are on benefits or not.
To find out more and apply visit Healthy Start or call 0345 607 6823
I think I'm already pregnant but haven't been taking folic acid. What do I do?
Don't worry, the risk of problems is small. Start taking folic acid now and until week 12 if you have not reached it yet. You don't need to take after 12 weeks folic acid (though it is not harmful) as the neural tube will have fully developed. You can talk to your GP or midwife if you have any concerns.
I've been trying to get pregnant but haven't been taking folic acid supplements. Should I stop trying to conceive?
Ideally, you should take folic acid supplements for two to three months before you conceive and until you are 12 weeks pregnant.
But try not to worry if you haven't started taking the supplements yet and start taking it now. You can talk to your GP or midwife if you have any concerns.

Hi Derin, Thank you for your comment.
We are sorry to hear about your recent miscarriage, this must be a very difficult time for you. If you are planning another pregnancy straight away then you can start taking your folic acid when you want. It is better to start taking this before conception.

Folic acid
By Midwife @Tommys on 25 Jan 2019 - 15:40
Hi Rukelly,
All pregnant women are advised to take folic acid before and during the first trimester of pregnancy as this is known to significantly reduce the risk of the baby developing neural tube defects such as spina bifida. The overall risk is still low however, so please try not to worry. You will have scans which will look at your baby's development.
Best wishes

Folic acid is a vitamin (B9).
By Midwife @Tommys on 17 Jan 2019 - 11:49
Folic acid is a vitamin (B9). It is found in certain foods and it can also be taken as tablets.
There are 2 different types of folic acid supplements which vary on the doasge. Most women are advised to take a 400mcg supplement every day. You can get these from most pharmacies, supermarkets, and health food shops. Your GP may also be able to prescribe them to you.
f you have a higher risk of having a pregnancy affected by neural tube defects you will be advised to take a higher dose of 5mg folic acid.
You may have a higher risk if:
you have diabetes
you or your partner have a neural tube defect
you have had a previous pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect
you or your partner have a family history of neural tube defects
you have epilepsy
you are a heavy drinker.

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – The Jacob Burns Film Center is exploring the growing militarization of police.
"Do Not Resist", a new documentary, is being screened Wednesday at 7 p.m. For nonmembers, admission is $15; for members, $10.
To buy tickets, visit the theater's website at www.burnsfilmcenter.org .
The program is part of the center's ongoing Community Matters: Local Issues, Discussion, Action film series that is being sponsored by the Westchester Community Foundation.
The discussion will feature filmmaker Craig Atkinson; Cathleen Price, cooperating senior attorney at the Equal Justice Initiative; and Laura Rossi, the foundation's executive director.
Atkinson explored the tactics, training and equipment acquisition that have propelled the rapid militarization of local police departments since the Sept. 11 attacks.
The documentary takes viewers from the streets of Ferguson, Mo., to a ride-along with a South Carolina SWAT team, to access to police conventions, equipment expos and the officers themselves.
Atkinson, the son of a former SWAT team member, said even he was rattled by what he found while making the film.
"As we begin to share the film, the overwhelming response from audiences has been shock and disbelief. I can say that we were just as shocked while filming the material. Going in, we had no idea what we were going to find," Atkinson said.
The filmmaker added that he hoped both "community members and officers working hard to challenge the culture of policing within their departments" would use the documentary to "illustrate the dire need for change."
Atkinson's recent work includes cinematography for "Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You" and the award-winning documentary "Detropia."
Price is a graduate of Harvard Law School and a former law clerk of Justice Fred Banks on the Mississippi Supreme Court. She is a 1999 National Association for Public Interest Law Equal Justice Fellow.
The theater is at 364 Manville Road, Pleasantville. It can be reached by calling 914-773-7663.

If you are looking for STEAM workshops or a way to bring your museum collection to life, you have come to the right place.
I've just got back from the Abu Dhabi Science Festival where my Cyanotype workshop went down brilliantly. I really enjoyed meeting so many wonderfully curious children. Some of the children had been coming to the festival for five years! Others are so keen that they come every night of the festival and do the workshops they enjoy again and again. Thank you so much for coming to my workshop and it was my pleasure to work with you.

The Dubai Tour, which made its debut in February this year, has been reclassified by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) to be a higher level race for next season.
The inaugural edition was ranked as a UCI 2.1 race, but next year's edition will be UCI 2.HC – the highest level for a non-WorldTour event.
What this means is that the race can now accommodate more WorldTour teams on its start list, from 50 per cent to a maximum of 70 per cent.
This year's edition of the race was won by Taylor Phinney (BMC Racing).
The 2015 Dubai Tour will run from February 4-7 and is organised by the company behind the Giro d'Italia, RCS Sport, in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council.

Boise Idaho Remains One Of The Best Places To Live In The U.S.
Boise Idaho Remains One Of The Best Places To Live In The U.S.
An Introduction To Meridian, Idaho
If you love thrills and adventure, then having a house in Meridian may be ideal for you. The difference in elevation from the mountains (7,000 ft. above sea level) to the valley floor (2600 ft) below, provides you with ample opportunities to pursue gravity-inspired winter sports such as snowboarding and skiing. World-class ski resorts are within a one hour drive. The three other seasons in Meridian provide plentiful outdoor activities, including water parks, biking, fishing and hunting. If those aren't enough to get your adrenaline flowing, you can always try whitewater rafting to get your heart racing. A house in Meridian will provide lots of excitement for you all year long.
As a real estate agent based in Meridian, I have found that the local real estate market is very exciting. The former farming community has been transformed into a city focused on the future and is attracting hordes of newcomers. From 1990 to 2000, the city's population tripled, and then between 2000 and 2007, it doubled. The growth has not stopped. This has resulted in track home builders in Meridian such as, Boise Hunter Homes, Cole Homes, CBH Homes and Hubble Homes creating several new developments with new modern homes for under $225,000 that have been designed with ample square feet at an affordable price.
There is something for every buyer at all size budgets in the Meridian MLS market. If you are looking to buy a luxury home, you may just be able to find the ideal executive estate offering spectacular views of Spurwing Country Club up to 6000 square feet of spacious living space waiting for you to make an offer on. If you are searching for houses in the $400,000 to $3 million price range and above, there's a good chance that we can find a perfect horse property for you. If you're looking to buy your first home, there is a great selection of single level homes some with bonus room over the garage, ranch style houses and modified two stories home for under $225,000. Prices and interest rates are both good. The current Meridian real estate market may just be offering you the best home buying chance of a lifetime!
Most of Meridian's real estate development has been driven by the city's growing career opportunities and economy. Corporate headquarters of major employers located in Meridian include Arnold Machinery, Western Electronics and United Heritage. There is a pro-business attitude among the civic leaders here, which has helped to create a thriving and growing business sector. Home owners in Meridian enjoy living in a city that has a solid commercial tax base. This strong local economy protects and progresses Meridian real estate values. Throw in Meridian's reputation for having quality schools in the mix and you have all the ingredients you need for an in demand housing market. When you buy Meridian real estate, it is an investment for the future.
Another major draw to this area is the extensive park and recreation amenities in Meridian. Leighton Family Baseball Complex, located in Settlers Park, has eight baseball fields that the Meridian Youth Baseball League use. Settlers Park also offers Adventure Island Playground, complete with climbing boulders, interactive sound garden and water splash pad. In 2009 there were 16 tournament-style horseshoe pits, two picnic shelters and two tennis courts added to the park. A community plaza and additional tennis courts are also in the works. The park also offers Summer Friday movie nights, where families can come out with their folding chairs and watch movies from a gigantic inflatable movie screen under the stars. Other Meridian area parks include William Watson Park, Heroes Park and Gordon Harris Park.
Whether you are an experience real estate investor or first-time home buyer, I can help you locate the best value for whatever types of properties meet your requirements the best. I have personally invested in Idaho real estate for years, and I can share all of the knowledge that I have acquired about buying property for future value and cash flow. If this is your first real estate purchase, my job will not be done until you have a thorough understanding of every aspect of your real estate transaction. I will be there to represent all of your interests from beginning to search for a property to the closing. I am thoroughly versed in Meridian real estate trends, new construction techniques and financing alternatives.
Selling Your House
Your home in Meridian is one of your most important investments. I am completely dedicated to ensuring that your hard-earned equity is preserved. I will represent your best interests vigorously as I negotiate for the best price and most favorable terms for your home.

Rick was unhappy with the look of his smile. Some of his teeth showed white and yellow "splotches". His previous history of fillings made his teeth look "old and tired". The heights of his teeth were also irregular, and detracted from his overall smile.
Dr. Krebs achieved this excellent result with a combination of cosmetic bleaching, bonded Porcelain veneers, and bonded Porcelain crowns.
Rick is very happy with the ensuing result.
Teeth Discoloration – Quoc
Quoc suffers from heavy, dark discolouration from the antibiotic Tetracycline, taken as a young child. He also had an end-to-end bite which brings about an accelerated wear of his front teeth. He also had some "dishing out" of the enamel on his teeth.
Dr. Huynh achieved this wonderful smile with a combination of cosmetic bleaching, and bonded Porcelain Veneers.
Total treatment time was about 1 to 2 weeks.
Teeth Color – Millie
Millie was unhappy with the colour of her teeth. Also, the recession and "notches" in her roots detracted from her smile. Dr. Krebs started by a simple routine of "at home" bleaching. This resulted in a general lightening of the body of her teeth. Then, direct composite bonding completed her smile. Much of this work can be accomplished without freezing.
Misaligned Teeth – Mike
Mike had only slightly misaligned teeth, with some rotations and crowding.
He had small upper lateral incisors which resulted in gaps of the upper front teeth.
Dr. Krebs achieved this smile using a combination of traditional braces and cosmetic bonding of the upper incisors, once the orthodontic treatment was complete.
Treatment took about 18 months.
Misaligned Teeth – Katelyn
Katelyn was unhappy with her crowded arches, misaligned teeth, her anterior open bite and a blocked out left incisor.
Dr. Krebs used a functional appliance with traditional braces, followed by cosmetic bleaching, to create Katelyn's beautiful smile.
Treatment took about 18 months.
Open Bite – Jill
Jill has always had beautiful looking teeth. However, due to a retained tongue thrust, she has always had an anterior open bite, preventing her upper and lower anterior teeth from contacting.
Dr Huynh achieved this beautiful result using traditional braces and cosmetic bleaching.
Treatment was completed in about 14 months. Jill is thrilled with the look of her smile.
Ground Teeth – Jennifer M.
Jennifer always had very nice looking teeth. She had braces when she was younger and her orthodontist ground the ends of her front teeth. This flattening left her with a more "masculine" look than what her smile deserved.
Dr Krebs achieved this excellent result by Porcelain Veneer bonding. This made her front teeth slightly longer, with rounder corners, resulting in a beautiful, more "feminine" smile.
Treatment time took about 2 weeks.
Teeth Alignment – Chris
- Chris was unhappy with the spacing between his upper teeth, as well as the uneven appearance caused by some slight misalignments.
- Dr. Huynh achieved an excellent result through the combination of cosmetic bleaching and bonded Porcelain veneers.
- Chris is very pleased with his smile which took about 2 weeks to complete, without freezing and temporary teeth.
Teeth Gaps – Jennifer
Jennifer disliked two aspects of her smile:
- Her upper front teeth were very rectangular and long. They did not have the rounded contours that we would have liked.
- Her upper front teeth were also quite narrow, producing gaps in her smile.
Dr. Huynh achieved this beautiful result using bonded Porcelain veneers.
Treatment didn't require freezing or temporary crowns and took between 1 and 2 weeks.

Kjerag Hiking Trail
Get a photo-op of a lifetime
Essential info
- Destination: Stavanger
- Season: June-October
- Difficulty: Demanding
- Distance: 9.1 kilometers (out‑and‑back)
- Elevation Gain: 540 meters
- Duration: 5-6 hours
About Kjerag
Kjerag mountain sits on the southern shore of the Lysefjord, near the tiny village of Lysebotn at the eastern end of the fjord. The cliff-face along the fjord is practically a vertical drop, plunging over 980 meters down into the water. The hike up to the top is one of the most popular in Norway, along with the nearby Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock).
A highlight of the hike is the Kjeragbolten boulder, which sits precariously between two mountains. There are often lines as hikes wait to carefully step out on to the boulder for a photo. Note that there is a 240 meter drop from the boulder and no safety lines. Even if you don't dare to step out on to the boulder, the hike is beautiful and well worth doing for the views.
The hike can be demanding with some steep sections at the start and middle of the trail with chains. Depending on the weather the smooth rock can be quite slippery. As always when hiking in Norway, be prepared for all weather and use footwear with good grip.
Getting there
From early June to early September, there is a daily bus tour between Stavanger and Øygardstøl at the trailhead. The cost is 640 NOK for adults and 460 NOK for children (aged 4 to 15).
The bus leaves Stavanger at 7:30, arriving at Øygardstøl at 10:00. They allow you six hours to complete the hike. The return bus leaves from the trailhead at 16:15 and arrives back in Stavanger at 19:00.
Book your ticket on gofjords.com
In the high season, the easiest option from Stavanger is to drive to Lauvvik and take the tourist ferry to Lysebotn. It runs twice a day, at 9:30 and 15:00. You can choose whether or not to take your car on board, remembering it costs more and there is paid parking at the other end.
From the ferry terminal it's a windy drive up to the parking lot at Øygardstøl. A bus runs in the high season for 150 NOK per person, one-way.
There is also a small year-round ferry.
You can drive the whole way and avoid a ferry, which is a scenic 2.5 hour drive (the road is closed between October and May/June).
Trail description
The hike starts from the carpark at Øygardstøl and is well-marked. The beginning of the trail is steep and rocky, but there are chains to help guide you up the mountain and provide some security for the climb.
After about 20–30 minutes you will reach a plateau. From there walk along a level rocky path before descending into the green valley.
Follow the trail through the valley and up the other side. Take it easy, as this part is a little trickier, with some boulders and more chains, but the trail is clear. Continue following the red markers on along the route.
Soon after there is the third and final climb to the top. Once you reach the plateau, carefully head out to the edge to take in the stunning views down to the fjord.
Continue along the trail. This section is flat and the easiest of the hike. Eventually, you will come to a large cairn with a sign to Kjeragbolten.
There is a "waiting area" where hikers wait their turn to step out onto the boulder. There are no handrails or safety guards so please be extremely careful making your way on to and off the boulder.
Return to the start along the same trail.
- The hike is a popular one and can be busy. To avoid the crowds, and for a more unique experience, consider one of the guided early-morning hikes in summer or a sunrise hike in autumn. Both trips include a one-hour fjord cruise.
- You shouldn't attempt this hike in winter on your own as it can be dangerous. Instead, try a guided snowshoe trip like this all-inclusive 3-day tour with two nights in a cosy fjord lodge.
- Water is available from larger streams along the route
- Kjerag Cafe & Restaurant serves foods and drinks
- Toilets at the café
- Mobile phone coverage is unreliable
- Parking (paid)

Have I mentioned lately just how much I love this land?! I walked up to the mall, weaving my way through the gardens before Kikar Yahalom in search of fresh rosemary for my stew (which I actually found at our parking lot entrance on my way home) what a beautiful morning! All along the way, people I've never met wished me a Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach. The same was true for the rest of my outing:
- at the bakery, where the manager and I shared a broken English-broken Hebrew conversation about sour dough bread;
- at the supermarket check out where the cashier and a man behind me showered each other with blessings to the point that I expected to see head-to-toe black and white with a long beard when I turned around… only to find a bare-headed Israeli praising Hashem and joyfully wishing the cashier Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!
And despite constantly beating myself up over my poor Hebrew skills
- I managed to hold my own in a conversation with that joyful man and the cashier about the unusual (rarely found in Israel) graham cracker crust I was purchasing. The man had never seen such a thing and wanted to know how it was made and for what.
- And when a young boy walked out in front of the taxi I was riding in, the driver and I conversed about the child walking with his head in the clouds!
So, I can offer some hope to those struggling with Hebrew – it is possible to learn by osmosis 🙂
As I was getting out of the taxi, the driver showered me with blessings and wishes for a Shabbat Shalom & Chag Sameach – which I now share with all of you!

Main dishes cost around: $26
Taking in contemporary art is thirsty, hungry work. It's therefore thankful that Singapore's leftfield Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), an institution that champions art that can't find a home in the mainstream national galleries, has its very own cafe and restaurant on site. In proper white-cube, minimalist fashion, the cafe is simply called MoCA Cafe @ Loewen, Loewen Road up green and tranquil Dempsey Hill being the street address of this oasis of an eatery that's ideal for families (there's plenty of space for the kids to run around), the nature lover, the foodie and the art fanatic.
Nice Music. Great service. The food.... Fantastically delicious. A nice place to hang out with friends or just chilled there. Will definitely come back again to try on other dishes. Recommend: Black Cod is a must try
Great food & excellent service! Bread basket had a nice variety of freshly baked bread. Fav dishes were the braised beef & black cod. After dinner, we went for a nice walk outdoors, admiring the art, vege patch & herb garden.
With high, floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the verdant Dempsey landscape that surrounds the gallery and studded, inside and out, with artworks from the Singapore Museum of Contemporary Art's collection, starting or finishing your gallery visit at MoCA @ Loewen means you can indulge in a suitably internationalist selection of tapas, brunch dishes, burgers and sandwiches, meat and seafood options, Italian pasta, desserts and MoCA's own take on Asian favourites surrounded by art. Moca CAfe's private pavilion is ideal for a romantic date by candle light or groups of up to ten people, while the picture-perfect cafe itself seats 80. You can even host an event on the alfresco terrace or in the gallery itself!
If you've made it up Dempsey Hill to the Museum of Contemporary Art nice and early, go for MoCA @ Loewen Road's brunch menu to refuel for the next round or the trip back down to Singapore city. Choose two fried or scrambled eggs paired with British or German sides, a vegetarian option, smoked salmon, pancakes or French toast, or a luxurious caviar option. Bigger appetites are better served by the MoCA beef burger, a masterpiece of beef patty, blue cheese, and purple cabbage relish. If you want to keep your palate (if not your palette) closer to home, go for the MSG-free Asian Twist selection, made with herbs grown on-site (ask a staff member for a tour of the garden and take home a cutting!)
