Running on Saturday
I have the privilege of working with my best friends and doing what I love every single weekend. As a runner/race director/race timer I have learned that we can have fun while we work and running is only as serious as you make it. At Race Day, we consider all our participants "our runners" and we like to have fun, because running should be fun!
I have discovered there is a need for newcomers and oldtimers to understand the other side of the run. As a runner, you show up to a race, get a bib and t-shirt, do a little stretching (if you are real serious) and go run your race. However, there is another side to a race that only a few runners venture into, and that is the race directing and chip timing realm. I have decided to help merge the three worlds so that we can all live as one happy extended family, in harmony.
I lovingly refer to myself as DumbA Runner, which is the nickname my husband came up with for all runners in general. Unfortunately, if the name fits, WEAR IT!! Therefore, I do.
I hope you enjoy reading about the trials and tribulations of a runner turned race director, turned race timer, and maybe you will learn something new along the way. And, if there is nothing new for you to learn, then just maybe you will enjoy reading about the antics that happen on our Race Day adventures.
Sit back, grab a protein shake, oh wait, we don't drink protein shakes, we tend to prefer a more adult beverage! Well, grab whatever you want and join our crew as we go running on Saturday.
Remembering Why I Run

Today I did something I've never done, I ran just to run. I didn't have a watch tracking my miles or pace, I didn't have a partner beside me and I didn't really even have a clue where I was going or when I would get there. It was just me, the road, my music and a long line of orange cones guiding the way.
Since I started Race Day 5 years ago, my personal running has not been a top priority. Sure, I still run, but not consistently, not far and definitely, not fast. My running glory days are over, my times are slower and the competitiveness has left me. Now when I run, I do it just because I like to run.
We (my running buddies) still try to find one run a year that we can fit into our busy schedule, just so we can say we did something. So, when the Republic of Texas Half Marathon popped up in my Facebook feed, I got the gang on board and we decided to go for it. This race worked out great because it was a Saturday so we could have some fun Saturday night and we had a friend's house to stay at, even better!!
With a move in October and the holidays, my running schedule has been really messed up! When January rolled around it had been over two months since I had laced up my running shoes!! Anita and I got back on track with our morning runs after the new year, but we quickly realized that we weren't going to have time for a long run before the half.
We didn't do anything like we were supposed to, we didn't train, we didn't increase our mileage, we didn't do strength workouts, we just signed up for a half marathon because we wanted to run (and, get a t-shirt, of course!)
As we ate our pre-race pasta dinner at Olive Garden on Friday night we started talking about our goals for the run. My goal was to finish between 3:30-4:00 hours. Yes, I thought it was going to be that bad!!
As we left the house Saturday morning, I was more than nervous. My legs were tight, I hadn't run over 3 miles in a year, and I just felt like I was in for a really bad day. I know, not the best attitude to start out with for 13.1 miles! But, after I got all the kinks worked out around mile 3, I felt pretty good. By mile 7 I was really feeling great. There weren't many people around me and I didn't know what pace I was running, but I felt good. I told myself, you are strong, you are running and you got this! Let's just see what we can do. I kicked it up a notch and off I went. At mile 8 and 9 I had to stop and put some Vaseline on the huge blister that was growing on my foot. At mile 11 I really had to start talking to myself to get me to the finish. But the most important thing, is that I remembered why I like running.
I have never run for a time, I've never run to beat anyone, I run because no matter how fast or how slow or how far I go... I did it. I did it for myself, I did it because I could and I did it because I am strong. There is no feeling like the feeling of crossing that finish line and saying I just ran 13.1 miles!!! This is the feeling that started the Race Day business and this is why we understand how runners feel when they cross that finish line. It doesn't matter if it was fast or slow, long or short, good or bad, hot or cold, you just finished!
The best part, I proved to myself that I was better than I thought I could be that day. My goal of 3:30 was replaced with a time of 2:37:53 and I couldn't be more proud of that time. Nope, it's not fast, but it's mine and it's better than I expected.
This is my reason for running on Saturday!
PS. I have to give the hubby a huge shout-out!! He was an awesome cheerleader for all five of us. It was so uplifting to look ahead and see his smiling face, with camera in hand, along the course. He dropped us off at the start, cheered us on along the way, had goodies waiting for us at the finish line and made me happy by taking LOTS of pictures!!! Thank you, baby!
A Beautiful Texas February

This weekend was great! The weather was great, the race was great, the food was great, and as always, my crew was great!
On Saturday we were at the 2nd annual Glen Rose Medical Center 5K/10K. They may have changed the name this year, but they still had the same great event. It was nice to see an even larger crowd than last year and we were blessed with beautiful weather for a Texas February morning.
We introduced our new online punch card this week and it made its debut at the race on Saturday morning. We had 17 runners sign up at the event and another 50 signed up throughout this week. Be sure and tell your friends about it! We want to make sure everyone starts earning their discounts now. This is our way of saying thank-you for running with us.
After the race, we had to visit one of our favorites, Loco Coyote. We had cheese fries, chicken tenders, bar b que, ribs and fish, man you can't beat that!! It's been awhile since the original Race Day crew got to spend a Saturday together. We enjoyed visiting with each other and hanging out together over lunch and then we even did a little back-roading once we made it back home.
Randall and I spent our Valentine's Day together doing what we love…projects! We always have some kind of project going on! The most current project is working to clean up a new piece of property that we purchased in Hamilton county. We have so much to do!!! Be sure to watch for pictures as we continue to work on this.
Now that the weekend is over, we have another little break coming up. However, we have some fun things planned for ourselves in the next two weeks. Stay tuned for more stories about our casino bus trip and we will be running (I use that term loosely) the Republic of Texas Half Marathon in College Station in a few days.
See you at the next run on Saturday!
P.S. - Look at my new shirt!!!
Kicking Off 2016 - FINALLY!

Finally!!! We are back in business. The 2016 race season kicked off this past weekend and we were more than ready.
Friday night we traveled to Round Rock for out first race of 2016. The Brady's Bridge Super Family Fund run was a great event. This was the inaugural 5k for this organization.
We started off the weekend with a yummy trip to Razzoos. As usual, we had a little adventure doing just the small things. I needed to wash my truck. I didn't want to look like the hillbillies came to town with dirty pick up!!! We find a car wash and the boys were razzing me and telling that I was going to scratch the paint. Well the jinx worked, because it didn't wash all the soap off. So we drive around for 45 minutes looking for a "manual" car wash. They are hard to come by in the city!! We finally headed back to the hotel without finding one. Just another benefit to country life!!
Saturday morning started with us running a little behind. We left the hotel about 15 minutes behind schedule. After getting breakfast, we headed to the park for the race. You see, we had checked out the race location the night before, but it was the wrong place!! We arrived at the location at what we thought was just a little behind schedule. There were no cars anywhere around! I knew we were in the wrong spot. Due to some construction, we had to take the long way around and by the time we arrived, we were really late for our schedule. We got on the ball and got everything done with 20 minutes to spare before race time. (Thanks to some great helpers at the race for helping us unload!!)
After the race, we enjoyed a great lunch with family while we were in town. Jack and Larry Don learned all about the joys of Pinterest this weekend and I think I've created monsters, they're addicted!!! After we got home, I found out the boys sent a picture to Randall who had to stay home because he was on call. They made it the whole race without me catching their mistake, but my awesome hubby made sure I found out!! You can check out the picture below and see for yourself.
Good help is hard to find!!! Just kidding, love my Race Day crew!!! We got the kinks worked out this weekend so we should be back in the swing of things now!! Bring on 2016!
Celebrating Our Forgetfulness....uh, Independence

This Saturday just happen to also be Independence Day. What a wonderful way to celebrate our freedom by starting off with a 5K run.
The weekend actually started a day early, since most of us had Friday off from our "real jobs." Anita and I headed to the city to get a little culture in our lives by going to see "Dirty Dancing" as it was part of the Dallas Summer Musicals series. This was my second trip to see a show in Dallas and it was Anita's first, though we have both been other places to see shows in the past. I think Anita and I may have found us a new hobby that doesn't involve running! We also attended the show "The Foreigner' at the Hamilton Civic Theater in June, and we already have our sights set on a few other productions in the next year.
After the show, Anita and I made our way back to Gustine, stopping in what seemed like every town in between, picking up plumbing supplies for the hubby. If I could have remembered it all on the first stop, then it would have gone much quicker. This is where my weekend of forgetfulness all started!
First, we stopped in Cleburne to get the new bathroom faucet at Home Depot. I get in the car and start back down the highway and realize I forgot the "plumber's wrench." As we get to Glen Rose, the only hardware store is closed. So, we back track to Granbury where once again, I enter Home Depot to find the plumber's wrench aka Basin Wrench. Now, we are on the road again and Randall calls to ask where we are and to remind me to pick up the most important supply of all…beer. Yep, I had forgotten it, too! So, once again, we stop in Dublin and then we finally head home. Randall rewarded us with grilled pork chops for dinner and we enjoyed a nice evening sitting outside lecturing our youngest son on all the reasons he should not want to own a motorcycle!!
4:30 am Saturday rolls around and we head out to Granbury, as you can see, I am pretty forgetful sometimes. We picked up some members of the Race Day crew along the way and decided to make a pit stop in Stephenville. As we got almost out of town, I realized that I should have filled up with gas. Yes, we stop one more time to get gas. (As you are about to find out, thank goodness we did!)
We roll on up to Tidwell Field in Granbury around 6:30 am and go to work. Anita and I head in to get registration set up while the guys start unpacking the trailer and setting up the start/finish line. Anita immediately opens the box to get the timing chips and looks at my wide-eyed, "Kate, where are the chips?"
As soon as she said it I knew what I had done. I forgot to pack the chips the night before!!! Oh this is very bad, very, very bad. We can't time a run without timing chips! We had used disposable bibs the weekend before and I just completely forgot to place them back in the box when I packed everything.
I immediately started dialing Randall at home and sent the guys to unhook the trailer. One of us had to high-tail in back to Stephenville and meet someone half way to get the chips. I got Randall awake and on the move, (yes, he was super proud of me) and Jeff met him on the south side of Stephenville. As I was pacing back and forth with a smile on my face telling the runners we would have chips soon, on the inside my heart was racing and I was scared to death something was going to happen. Cue...thank goodness we stopped for gas!
Jeff arrived with the chips about 7:30 am and we had them put on all the runners and back on schedule by 7:40! Man, I love having a great crew that helps me get things done. I bet they remind to get the chips from now until eternity!!!
We have been through many ups and downs in our 5 years of timing races together. I have only forgotten the chips one other time, but we were only 20 miles away from home that day. (Knock on wood) We have been lucky not to have forgotten many things before, but I can't say that we haven't had other troubles along the way, including running out of gas!!!
At the end of the day, we got the job done. We put another race in the books, we enjoyed each other's company with lunch at Chilies and then spent our evening at a friends pool party. This weekend we celebrated our independence, the freedoms that we have, and worked our way through forgetfulness while running on Saturday.
Making Memories
|Posted on June 22, 2015 at 11:20 PM

Mama Pat always says we are making memories and this weekend we definitely made some extra special memories. This weekend started off on Thursday night as the "D" team headed for El Paso. We had planned to leave Gustine around 6 pm, but we were a bit delayed by a broken down farm truck and a dead calf before we could head out. Oh, the joys of country life and bringing your farmer/rancher father-in-law along for his first Race Day adventure.
My mother and father-in-law quickly learned that I am easily entertained, amused, and that I like my food!! You know by now that food is a pretty important part of our Race Day trips, so we started off at Taco Casa in Abilene. I know, you're thinking..TACO CASA? But, it's one of my favorites, some of the other crew members may not agree with me, but they like Chili's (YUCK!)
I found out before we ever left Gustine that our trip was going to be very interesting. It's amazing the things you learn about each other when confined to a truck and sharing a hotel room on a 9 hour drive. Time spent together always brings out the "best" in everyone. We always learn new things about our Race Day crew, but when the crew turns into your in-laws....hmm.
After spending the night in Big Spring we headed for El Paso very early Friday morning. I was glad that we brought along all the technology to keep the in-laws entertained on the trip. We didn't hear a peep out of them the whole way!
We always find friends wherever we go. Sometimes they wear running shoes and sometimes it's a cowboy hat, but either way it's a good time.
The "D" team arrived in El Paso Friday morning in time to help with packet pick-up for the race and get the festivities started with the Denning clan. This weekend, my father-in-law joined in on the race timing work. This was his first race to ever attend, much less work. At the end of the event on Saturday I asked Randy if I needed to add him to our full-time payroll. Without hesitation or time to think about it, he answered with a very stern and adamant "NO!"
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the other crew stayed at home to time another Friday night race, the Boots and Thongs (AKA flip flops) 5k in Comanche, where a good time was had by all . It was rodeo weekend in Comanche and they hosted the 5K on Friday night along with music on the square and shoppers' night. The 5k was sponsored by Heartland Funeral Home and their hearse led the runners along the course. Luckily, no one actually showed up in a thong, but there were plenty of flip flops to be seen on spectator feet Friday night!
Saturday started at 4:30 am when we woke up to head to the Denning Dash. Randall and I both had butterflies in our tummy as we headed to the race location. This was a big weekend for us. We had been planning this event for a year. We want every event we time to be successful, but this was the first time our entire family would get to see what we actually do every single weekend. So many people just don't get it when we say that we are race timers. They have no idea what we actually do.
The Denning Dash was put on by the Denning family in memory of Wallace Denning who passed away 11 years ago. His girls decided a year ago they wanted to start a scholarship fund in honor of their dad's love of basketball. Of course, we agreed to help, even though it was 550 miles away.
Along the way we partnered up with an El Paso timing company, https://www.raceadventuresunlimited.com/" target="_blank">Race Adventures. If you ever find yourself in the need of race timing help or finding a race to run in El Paso, look them up. They are good people. Mike took care of our course, medals and volunteers for the race. We couldn't have done it without him
If you follow Race Day or me personally on Facebook, then you have already been on this journey with us. Saturday was such an exciting emotional adventure. There were so many great people who loved Wallace and miss him just as much as we do that came to show their support. Aunt Deb took home gold in her age group and Uncle Jimmy received a bronze medal for his efforts.
The best quote of the day we heard, "I sure do see a lot of Nike's around here." That's the difference in a runner and basketball player! (If you get it, you're a runner!! LOL) But we loved seeing everyone come out and show their support for a dad who loved basketball.
After the race, the Denning clan all met up at Monica's house for an afternoon of fun, games, birthday celebrations and of course, FOOD.
The Denning girls surprised me with a birthday cake and goodies to celebrate my special day. This was the best birthday ever because I got everything I wanted all in one...time with family, timing a race, and the best part of all, a run shirt that has not only my name, but my birthday on it, too. I am truly blessed and thankful to see what the upcoming year has in store for me.
It was a busy, stressful, fun weekend for Race Day as we made memories, celebrated another year of life, mourned a death, traveled to the end of the United States, visited a new city and celebrated our Dads all while running on Saturday.`

Calling all creative types! If you've ever secretly dreamed of repurposing your WDW into pillows or changing the color, now is your chance. During our largest pre-order EVER, before we changed our return policies, many customers ordered more than they needed and returned a few. Others returned for minor lace discrepancies or flaws. This left us with quite a few pre-order items just hanging around our warehouse. Lucky you! We don't have the time to look over each item with a fine tooth comb, so we are offloading them all at a significant (more than half off!) discount. Some will be close to perfect. Others will have minor flaws. All sales will be final. These dresses are still some of my all time favorites, so feel free to keep them exactly as they are- or express your creativity and design a one-of-a-kind.
We sought the advice of several WDW moms who have already experimented with color (to great effect!), and below are some of the tips they shared (along with our own less-than-scientific instructions).
- 1. It was my very first dye job. It was originally a mint maxi. My first step was to use RIT Color Remover. Then I washed with bleach. It turned out a very light yellow but it was light enough to dye. I used half a box of RIT purple color. I only used half because I wanted a lavender color, and I also only stirred it for about 30 minutes instead of 60 mins. I do think it's better to use RIT liquid instead of powder. After I dyed it, I also had straps reinforced. To be honest it was not a perfect dye job since it was my first, but it still photographed beautifully. We had unicorn pictures in it and loved how it turned out. I also bought two more maxi dresses in mint and pink because they are just beautiful in original color and so timeless and perfect for summer wear. Our photographer was Sarah Mendoza with Seem Photography. ~Perla Navarro
- 2. This is the best alone picture that I have, taken before I reattached the lace pieces. I took a seem ripper and carefully detached the lace and seams that held the lace in. Then I rinsed the dress so it was wet and filled my sink with very hot water with one package RIT color remover. The remover did not actually take any color out but I do think it helped prep the fabric to take the dye. Next I rinsed the color remover, and washed on delicate (but did not dry) to make sure it was clean before placing again in the kitchen sink with water and RIT liquid dye in the color "Camel". I mixed with a wooden spoon so all the areas of the dress were equally covered and let it soak for about a half an hour. Then I rinsed and again put in the washing machine on delicate. I would not do it in a sink if I had a porcelain sink. To reattach the lace I found the closest matching thread and sewed by hand. Someone more experienced with a machine could probably get the job done quicker but by hand worked just fine! ~Carolyn Phillips
- 3. The tunic set I had was the light pink. I think the liquid dye I used was "Tangerine" by RIT. I followed the instructions in their website because I was scared to try! I figured if I royally messed up then there's always bleach or color remover! ~Amy Van Marel
4. We have dyed quite a few! The dying process is as follows: Lace trim is removed and bleached if desired. The original color on the dress is removed with a color remover or bleach and then re-dyed with a either a liquid dye or powder dye. Sometimes colors can be mixed to get desired color… I found out the hard way do not use a stainless steel and bleach….lol they don't mix! It makes the dress splotchy. After the original color has been removed, the dress needs to be hand washed and rinsed VERY well. Once that is done, its time to re-dye it. Sometimes we had to mix colors to get the color we wanted– especially the darker colors. The dress needs to be soaked in hot water before dying and sometimes multiple trips to the dye are necessary. Once the desired color is reached, the dress will need to be rinsed until water runs clear, then hand wash and rinse again. Last step is using a color setter, (necessary for dark colors especially). We just followed the box directions for that. Once that step is done, it's time to dry….do not wring to dry it will leave marks. The best way to get all the water out is to put in between towels and press out the water, then either hang or lay flat to dry. Once dry, the lace is reattached. 🙂 Hope this is helpful! I wish I had the skills to be able to do this but my mom is the one with all that talent! ~Jessica Robertson (dying by Kristine Erickson)
5. I used the stove top method so I would recommend to stir the dress consistently and to definitely watch the clock! I would also recommend to not to be nervous and to just enjoy the process! It'll turn out great regardless! ~Laura Miranda
6. First know your fabric type you are planning on dyeing such as cotton, nylon, etc. This will matter when you are following the product directions that are used during this dyeing process.
1 Box of Rit ® color remover 2oz
1 Bottle of Rit ® liquid dye color camel/ camello 8oz
1 extra large pot
Test fabric in pure white. (Use the exact fabric type you are planning on dyeing)
¼ cup of salt. (I know the dye bottle said more but I was barely using any dye as it is)
Tongs or two large wooden spoons
Rubber gloves
Directions for removing color are on box of Rit ® color remover. If you don't have access, here is the basic idea: Fill your pot full of water and add to heat. Add color remover packet. Allow the pot to come to a simmer. Add your dress to the simmering pot. Using tongs pick dress up and move it around in the hot water (this is to make sure all the color has been removed from every part of the dress evenly). Once your dress is PURE white, remove it from the hot water and bring to sink. It only took the pink maxi a few minutes to fully lift the color. Rinse the dress with cold water and check to make sure the dress has lifted its color evenly. If not, add to the color remover again until the color has lifted. Wash your dress in the sink using a small amount of laundry detergent. Rinse thoroughly with hot water. I let my dress sit for a few days to air dry.
Sink Dyeing process
Add very HOT water to your sink filling it ¾ ways up Approximately 3 Gallons. Add your Liquid Dye to the sink. (The more dye added will result in the darker color). I added about ¼ cup and had to dilute the water 3-4 time to achieve a tea colored water. ¼ cup of salt added to the water. Use your test fabric to achieve your desire color. *Only dipping parts in and avoiding getting the whole piece wet so you can see the actual color on a clean fabric piece.
Dilute water/color as needed. I would dilute by draining the sink to ½ full then adding more hot water. Once desired color is achieved rinse fabric in cold water until water runs clear. Wash item in sink or washing machine with small amount of detergent the let air dry. Iron. Now it's done!
Hope you enjoy the process and love your results. ~Katelynne Parks
Now for my own "Rose Ombre" process… I am pretty sure I couldn't duplicate the results if I tried, but maybe you can…
First, I gently removed two of the lace appliques which took too long for my limited patience. The second and third went a lot faster resulting in a few small holes in the skirt. No biggie- the yards of fabric should hide it, right? Next, I filled a galvanized steel tub with hot water and a hefty sprinkling of salt. I added the entire contents of RIT Fuchsia liquid dye to the water. To "muddy" the color a little, I added a bit of RIT Tan (I did not measure, but it was less than 1/4 of the bottle). I placed the hem of the dry dress into the dye bath and carefully submerged the bottom half of the dress, leaving the highest point in the dye for less than 30 seconds and slowly pulling it out. I took time removing the dress from the tub, pulling it out in 1 or 2 inch increments every minute or so (which allowed the lower portions to absorb more dye). I left the hem ruffle submerged for about 7 minutes.
I wasn't happy with the stark line created at the top of my ombre skirt, so (over the garage sink) I used a teeny bit of dish soap to "soften the dye" at the highest dyed point on the skirt. Here, I also wet the entire dress (even the bodice and upper skirt that were not dyed) and rinsed until water ran clear(ish). I immediately washed the dress in my washer on the normal cycle (with detergent), and removed it to discover that the non-dyed portions of the dress and the lace on the bodice had become a lovely shade of soft pink, blending it all together perfectly! I think it was a total fluke but I love the results (and more important- Jo loves it!).
Using the green maxi, Shannon created the most beautiful peacock toned ombre effect in a process eerily similar to mine (we did not discuss beforehand!). She filled a washtub 1/3 of the way full with hot water and added 1/4 to 1/2 of a bottle of Teal Rit dye and about 2 tbsp of Evening Blue Rit dye.
She opted to keep the lace around the skirt and also added one step. After washing the dress once (following her hem dip dye), she submerged the entire wet dress back into the dye for about five minutes then washed again. This allowed the lace to pick up some faint color and softly blended the entire dress. I LOVE how it turned out!
From a design perspective, here are a few tips:
- If you choose not to remove the color first, try to select a dye that will work well with the dress color. In my case, the dress was already pink so a deeper pink was a great choice for creating a "rose" effect. I also thought about mixing pink and orange to create a pretty peach tone. Shannon used the green maxi with teal and blue dyes to create the most beautiful peacock effect.
- If you can sew, lace can be removed and re-attached if you want to keep the natural color-or you can even try dying lace a totally different color than the dress. Have fun and experiment!
We really hope you enjoy getting creative with these dresses- and be sure to hashtag #wdwolfpack on Instagram when you do! Can't wait to see your creations.

Your vanity can define your bathroom space. You can create typical bathroom style as it usually separate from your home. Before you buy your bathroom vanity, it is great for you to consider these several things. First, choose color and finish style. Vanities are made from several materials such as metal, glass, wood, and most of it comes into white, black or mid tone brown or the espresso finishing. If you have wooden bathroom vanity, you can paint the cabinet with your favorite color. Next is hardware from vanity. There are some vanities that available with door and drawer hardware so it is practical and easier to install. Next, check the measurement for your vanities. The single vanity might become the only option for small size bathroom but if you have enough bathrooms you can choose larger vanity or even you can choose vanities with break up design into smaller side by side vanities. Make sure that you have space for door openings and trim.
Next is your vanity storage, consider whether this will be your master bathroom or kid bathroom. Check to particular requirement and if you use bathroom for daily use, then ample with storage space include countertop and drawer space that can be important for you. The other things that you can consider for bathroom vanity buying is the coordinating items such as faucets, as this item are comes with vary type and design. You also need to keep in mind with the existing vanity items accessories such as outlets, mirrors and electrical switches. You also need to check the plumbing location in your house. It is important for determine width from your vanity as remove plumbing means added cost to install.
The normal depth from bathroom vanity is about 17 inch into 24 inch. The narrow spaces bathroom needs shallow bathroom vanities that keep your bathroom from cramping.

Due to the harsh economic times or due to sheer negligence, most home owners at times think that water softeners are not that important. While it is also true that the type of water that you have in your home is safe for consumption and that you do not see the need of buying a water softener at home. There are some reasons why a water softener is important to a home, and in this article we're going to unearth some of them.
Reasons why you should have one at your home
1. Makes the process of keeping your home clean easy
Those individuals who use hard water in their homes will tell you that hard water leaves your clothes with stains that can be difficult or even impossible to eliminate. When you use hard water, you will be required to buy special cleaners so that you can eliminate the residue that the water leaves behind in bathtubs, fixtures and other home appliances. This does not only make the home owner incur more costs, but also makes one spend a lot of time scrubbing to do away with the water stains. Your glasses and dishes will also suffer the same fate; they will have spots. But if you do not want to deal with all this, just purchase a water softener.
2. Keep your clothes looking great
Even though there are detergents in the market that one can use with hard water when cleaning your laundry, you will still experience some hard time maintaining your clothes to be clean and bright when you use hard water. When you also clean your clothes with hard water, they become stiff and wear out quickly. To make sure you avoid this, it is the time that you install a water softening system in your home.
3. Saves money
Many people may not believe this but those who have had the opportunity to use them know that having a water softening system in your home goes a long way in saving money for you. When you have this system in your home, experts have argued that an average family, saves close to $ 2000. Not only has the system been credited with extending the lifespan of your clothes, but also contributes to the extension of the lifespan of home appliances. It has also been discovered that water that has gone through a softening process is heated quickly hence saving on the amount of electricity that is spent on water heating.
4. Lets your best side shine through
When you use water that has been softened, it ensures that your skin feels healthier every day and that it appears smooth always.
These are some of the benefits that one can get from having a water softener system at home. It is therefore paramount that in your next shopping spree, you get yourself one of the best water softeners available in the market right now. The choice of one may be tantamount considering the many options in the market, but with proper online research and asking the experts, you will surely catch yourself the best one money can buy.

Creative has unveiled a new 'Pure Wireless' range of audio products including a modular speaker system, headphones and MP3 players.
At this week's Sydney launch the company told Macworld Australia it had spent the past year working on a seamless way to challenge the traditional audio system model and bring pure wireless entertainment to everyone.
Included in the range are: the $69.95 ZEN Style M300 music, photo and video player, which is just 55 x 44 x 12mm in size and features a 1.45in TFT screen, microSD card slot and Bluetooth wireless connectivity; three Bluetooth-enabled headphones (the $79.95 WP-250, $129.95 WP-350, and $149.95 WP-450) with invisible mics for use with all smartphones; and the compact, $59.95 D80 Bluetooth speaker.
But the real star of the launch was the Ziisound Pure Wireless Modular Speaker System, comprising the D5x and D3x one-piece speakers, and the DSx wireless subwoofer.
The idea behind the new products is the flexible configuration of the range. You can start with one D3x or D5x, and then wirelessly add the DSx for more bass, or you can use two units for a wider soundstage.
The display at the Creative launch showed the ultimate Ziisound system – three D5xs carrying left, centre and right channels of sound, plus a subwoofer for more bass.
The clever concept allows multi configuration around the house, in multiple rooms with a simple design and multiple location deployment.
Last year Creative released the Ziisound D5, which got 4.5 mice and a Top Pick award in Macworld Australia's April issue. During the launch it was compared side-by-side with the new D5x, with the same music files, and the new model showed noticeable improvement with a cleaner, clearer sound, particularly in the mid-ranges.
The D5x looks almost identical to the old model – a sleek, simple design black with side silver trimmings – but is a little wider.
It's built around Bluetooth and Apt-X technology, and the completely reconfigured DSP in the unit can sense when other connections are present and uses an active crossover to direct frequencies to each speaker and the sub-sonics to the subwoofer.
With 24-bit resolution and compression, the time alignment between additional units is seamless. It all really sounds too good to be true.
The D3x and D5x are a good size to fit in a bedroom or on top of a fireplace – and the easy configuration of one to three units means it's easy to stream music to multiple locations. If you move house you don't need to buy a new speaker system.
An interesting point was made at the launch in regards to the positioning of the new range of Creative's speaker systems – Creative has always been known as the desktop speaker system brand to pick and known for only the IT market.
A Creative spokesman acknowledged this, and said that the brand's success was also its failure. Its traditional strong point has been selling high technology at low prices to the mass market.
Both the retail and IT channels have strengths and weakness for Creative products, the spokesman said, however Creative thinks everything in the world is merging.
Creative also said that it views Apple as a new channel in the market and that the return from Apple retail channels is huge.
The company said it was working on AirPlay functionality, but strongly believed it had made the right decision in choosing Bluetooth as its wireless technology.
Other brands in the market have brought out wireless systems, however the glitches are endless. Creative has out-done itself bringing flexibility and low cost while retaining an audio quality that would out-do systems five times the price.

Cambridge Engagement Photography - Kirsty and Chris, St Ives, Cambridgeshire
Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of heading out with Kirsty, Chris and Rosie the dog for their engagement shoot. For this session, they chose their home town of St Ives, near Cambridge and it was great seeing the parts you don't normally visit if you're just near the shops.
We started off on the bridge near the quayside and then took a walk along the Thicket up to Nobles field. This is where mother nature didn't quite play along and I had to admire their patience with me as we sheltered under a tree for half an hour waiting for the rain to pass!
Once I'd shown my mad side lying in the wet grass getting some cracking shots with the sun backlighting them we headed back to the bridge for some lovely sunset pictures.
Check out below for the images from the shoot...

Blogger Reviews of Towne
alone with a cupcake. on Dec 02, 2013
My favorite thing was the Hash and Eggs. The cheese selection was great and delicious as well, but cheese is easily found this way. The Eggs Benedict with Bacon was good, but got cold quickly when removed from its heating device. I tried and attempted to like an oyster but decided I should just give up on that, although I found the Lobster Cobb Salad very tasty. Lastly, the buffet included a dessert table, but I was TOO FULL TO EAT IT. Distress to a new degree.

Bartenders were the type that make it seem like they are doing you a favor when they take your drink order. They have Hi-Life bottles if you don't feel like waiting for a mixed drink

The bar scene is lively and vibrant. Recommend for those who are seeking a lively and vibrant bar scene. Or for those simply seeking. A vibrant bar scene only. Or a lively bar scene only.

Love the lobster and corn pizza

Terrible service, non Differentiated menu and extremely over priced. For dishes at ~$30/plate they have GOT to get their act together. Would never go back or recommend.

Towne Stove and Spirits has been hit or miss for us, but it's a total scene, and the pedigree here -- with culinary director Lydia Shire at the helm -- makes it hard not to go back for another shot.
by AskMen
Keep it classy or come casual. "Choose-your-own-vibe" dining areas at Towne are all about comfort food + drinks but we say go for an old fashioned cocktail -vodka'd Gypsy Dancer, anyone?

Order the lobster popovers!! They're perfect.

Who's prettier? Granted I don't think geisha is even a legitimate doll for children to play with, but neither do I think the modern barbie is either anyway. It's like a miniature version of Scarlett Johansson.
So taking afterthought of the Karate Kid with me, I'm here to explain what's really real in Asia. Or, taken from someone who hasn't been there in 6 years, what's real for at least one Asian girl. In the west.
One of my biggest pet peeves about stereotypes against my race is that the girls are rather useless. If you've seen the Karate Kid, it's like we're all akin to that little 12 year old who can never run out of the flimsy clutches of scrawny boys. I won't say anything for myself, not after having not done any real exercise for x amount of years. But I will tell you that my mother is about 5'2, I don't know how she did it, but she managed my father, who was almost 6 feet with ease. I think her boastful voice has something to do with it. I guess that rules us out for being soft spoken.
So why am I speaking out about this and bragging about how unwomanly
we my family is?
Where I am, some poorly secluded Asianized area – not Chinatown – I cannot tell you the amount of girls that I see complaining about not looking like a washboard who hasn't seen the sun in some gazillion years. Or the fact that their waist line isn't as delicate as their ankle. And don't be surprised if our thighs aren't smaller than your arms either. We don't actually eat like birds. I really thought that stuff should stay in the 60's.
Seeing all these people who are so fascinated with Asia in general, I want to clarify some of the truth in the Karate Kid;
1. No, we don't all know karate. And I sound like a hypocrite because my sister used to learn it..but point is, the only splits I've ever done were for ballet when I was 6-7.
2. Did I ever get kicked in the face by some karate bawl? As a matter of fact, I actually have. By my sister. While we were bickering in a car trip back in days where there was no room for a 9 year old to run to.
3. Sorry, but I haven't tied my hair in pig tails ever since grade 4 – I'm not being mean, I just saw a fully grown Asian woman walk around with gigantic strawberry/bow hair ties downtown yesterday.
4. My Chinese name isn't as cute nor fun as you guys might think. Everybody gives up right after the first letter, stopping at the one word in my name that I know means something nice – poetry. Thanks guys.
5. Again, hypocritical; I tan like a Mexican..while my sister burns like a potato. Nope, no porcelain dolls for you tonight.
I think the West has done a pretty good job in advertising that no Caucasian woman is really going to look like Barbie, so it mighty pisses me off that all the girls I look like idolizes (excuse me) ridiculously overdone k-pop artists who, like many here trying to imitate Barbie, go under the knife for their own deity. They're just more subtle about it. What worries them is the size of their eye lids, not the height of their rack. As for emulating the paleness of a geisha, hint* that's bird poop they put there. [Edit: My apologies if you're offended, I was referring to an article I read awhile ago, disclosing what they used in the old times] Real ancient magic!
Oh and one more thing, I'm never going to be able to talk like a true Asian I suppose. My voice box simply doesn't go that high, unless I'm really squabbling. Seriously, nobody should be juxtaposed with Barbie or Geishas. So cheers to my family for keeping me grounded – My sister and I took Grams and Mumsy out to the Aquarium yesterday, for their first time! Oh I know, they really need to have more of a life.
And eff it, I just realized my sister is doing the almighty peace sign.
If you had decided to skip all the tension, here's some rewarding pictures I took – once again, inserting photos everywhere.
And last but not least. Salutations for my Grandmama, what a G indeed. I've watched a 4D movie there 5 times, had my legs up and my back arched throughout the show. *Never let your guard down. I still screamed when the chair poked me in the back.

All of the proceeds from this fundraiser go toward supporting our students and the ministry of Hales Corners Lutheran School.

Pies cost $15 each or $12.50/pie if purchasing two or more and pre-payment is required (checks can be made out to Hales Corners Lutheran).

We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your scrumptious pies as much as we do!
The "Donate 525 Pies" Challenge
Pies are homemade with love for great causes. Not only are pie sales the Christian Parents Advisory League (CPAL)'s biggest school fundraiser supporting our students and programming, but purchasing pies to be donated will help local families in need! The Ebenezer Stone Food Pantry has a goal of making and delivering 500 meal boxes to feed families for Thanksgiving and 1 donated pie will be added to each box. That's why we're challenging school families, members of the HCL congregation, family, friends and neighbors to help us meet our goal of donating at least 525 pies this year!

text: Baby Middle Child Syndrome Is A Real Thing - Believe Me! The honest, refreshing, heart-warming parenting blog you've been waiting for… Follow Pamela as she navigates unknown territories as a mom of 3! Catch up on last month here! We started October with a visit to the doctor. Ben was due his 2-month vaccination and he was far and away the worst of the 3 getting them. My husband was in the car with the older two and they could hear the howls of him! He was awfully unsettled again after them. Several nights of being up half the night and out of sorts all day so our lovely CranioSacral therapist paid me a house call one morning for a session. Fast forward a little over 2 days and he was back to his easy self! Why did no one tell me about this on my older two? It's like magic, seriously! Now I have never really put much thought into so-called "middle child syndrome". I honestly thought it didn't exist. And surely it wouldn't affect my happy-go-lucky two-year-old Jamie. But wow was I wrong! Middle child syndrome is real and very present in our household at the moment. I think Jamie feels he has lost his place in the family. He's struggling with this new dynamic and that struggle is manifesting in the form of pure and utter devilment. And not the cutesy kind either. He is really trying me at the moment. I often think he's just testing me, testing the boundaries, baiting me to see how far he can push before all hell breaks loose. Some days he's harder than others but the days he's my little pudding are worth the umpteen bad ones in between. I mean, he's funny out! The funniest thing I have heard in ages was just last week and it was from him. We were walking back from school after collecting my four-year-old, Will, who was walking beside me on a quiet pedestrian laneway. I was pushing the double stroller with Jamie and Ben sat happily in its depths when I spotted a dead hedgehog amongst the leaves gathered along the side of the lane. I pulled Will close to me to sidestep it hoping none of them would notice, alas, it's when you don't want them to catch on that they do. "What was that Mammy?" " It was a hedgehog pet. And yes, before you ask, he's gone to heaven." (Heaven has been a much spoken about topic since Sam died last month, unfortunately as if it wasn't hard enough!) "Can I see him again please?" "No pet, it's going to rain. Let's go!" Jamie had obviously been listening to everything and pipes up: "Is he dead? "Yes, love." "Awwwwwww." Then silence followed by: "Who defeated him?" I'm still shaking with laughter at the memory!! Bad mammy! It's a sign of too much screen time when your son asks who defeated the dead hedgehog instead of who killed it! So in the spirit of changing things in our household and starting out in our new home on the right foot, I've implemented a Reward Chart. If they both get 10 green ticks by the end of the week they get a treat of their choice, within reason of course. However, if they get 10 red X's then they outweigh the ticks and they get zilch. So far it's working OK. Will gets it. He doesn't want X's and is highly motivated by a reward at week's end. However, Jamie is probably still a little young. I'm being a little more lenient with him as a result of that - but probably also at the guilt, I feel at making him a middle child! The reward chart really came into play last weekend when my phone was mysteriously broken. Both of them denied it to the max that they had even seen my phone, let alone been the one to break it. All it took was to sit down with them and say that whoever broke it could tell the truth and because the truth is so important that person would get a tick for being honest. Poor Will nearly tripped over himself to confess to the crime. He was so scared I would punish him but we're learning to live by the mantra "Accidents Happen!". And in a house full of boys they most surely will happen by the boatload!! So amongst juggling the day to day management of my little family, attempting to settle into our new house and adjust to the new changes all around me, we also decided to have Ben's christening over the bank holiday weekend. Because, as you have probably guessed, we don't do things the easy way! Thankfully, it all went without a hitch and our beautiful third born was the star of the day, however, my addled mom brain completely and utterly forgot to pick up a Baptismal candle for Ben! We were almost out the door on Sunday afternoon, running several minutes behind schedule but if we rushed we'd just about make it when I realised I didn't have a candle. I up-ended the place searching for Jamie's candle as it wasn't a personalised one but I couldn't find it!! I had to use Will's candle which has his name and christening date on it! Luckily no one noticed - except the godparents who laughed. My first born got a personalised candle, second born got a bog standard shop bought candle and my third born nothing. Yup, that just about sums up my life with three kids! Love this? Share, share, share! Love this? Share, share, share !

Today starts Lent and one of the messages of Lent is that you should give something up. Sacrificing makes you a stronger person. Well I found some treats that you don't have to give up , the best part is that these chocolates don't contain any calories.
Recently I have become a fan of the brand of make up called Too Faced. They don't want make up to be serious business, they want it to be fun. My first experience with the brand was a blush and bronzer compact for Valentines last year that was named after famous tv couples. It was heart shaped and called Ross and Rachel. This past Christmas they introduced the "Christmas in New York " gifts. It conjured up images of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and Audrey Hepburn strolling down Fifth Avenue shopping at Christmas time. The gift set contains blushes, eye shadows and a few other goodies like mascara and one of the patented Too Face Melted Kiss lip stick and also an eye shadow primer. My latest addition to my make up collection is one of their fun Chocolate Bon Bon eye shadow pallettes. Just like the Christmas gift set, the make ups are infused with chocolate powders and come with fun names like Praline, Truffle, and Cotton Candy. It is all girly with its powder pink compact that is small enough to fit into that Michael Kors. Take it anywhere. My favorite part is the little maps that give easy step by step color instructions because not all of us are MUAs . Anyone can get that glam look for an event . As a blogger and an actress, it isn't always possible to get made up for that event. Too Faced sets help give me that polished look. They can be found at Sephoras and online at http://www.toofaced.com It's the chocolate you can indulge in without guilt.
