Daytime

I was so shocked to find out that most home break-ins happen during the day. This is because most people are at work and most burglars are not looking to hurt anyone. Being a stay-at-home mom, I am home during most days. My car stays in the garage so it probably looks as if no one is home. I don't know what I would do if someone came into my home. Or worse, if someone was in my home when I came home from running an errand with the kids. I kept thinking about this and couldn't seem to shake the idea so I went to totalALARMsystems.COM and learned about having a system installed in our home. I think this will help my peace of mind and that is worth it to me. I love the idea of having immediate help if I need it. It is sort of like insurance for your home and security! My favorite part is getting to put the sign in my yard telling everyone that we have a system. I am sure that deters most burglars and I am glad about that.

Pink Festival

Content by Sol Rosales

I have been trying to raise money and gain sponsorship for a project that I have been working on. It is a breast cancer fund raiser that is going to be something like a fall festival. I have a lot of local business who have agreed to participate by having booths at the fair. I have also raised money from a lot of different sources ranging from Texas electricity Providers to wedding cake bakers. The whole idea is that at the fair, each booth is going to feature a pink product. The cake bakers are making pink cup cakes and the trash company is giving out pink trash bags. My favorite though, is the grooming salon that is advertising pink temporary dog dye. I just can’t wait to see my little canine with pink streaks in his hair for the month of October. I am really excited about the fundraiser and think it will be lots of fun. We have really had a great response from local businesses for this being the first event. I am just hoping that everything comes together without a hitch!

Dad's into golf

This guest post from Lewis Beck

My dad couldn’t be more into golf and though I really want to get it, I just think it’s boring. I really wish I was as interested in every stroke and minutiae as he is so we could bond over it but I’d much rather watch football or basketball or even soccer, for that matter. He’s an avid player, too, so it’s pretty easy to buy him gifts on holidays which is really convenient. He always gets golf balls or gloves or even satellite from www.direc.Tv so he can watch random tournaments and he loves them all…that’s one thing about his obsession I really do like. My mother calls herself a golf widow which I think is just hilarious since she likes to do her own thing, anyway, but if you ask my dad at any given moment what he’d like to be doing he’ll tell you he wants to be out playing golf. It’s good exercise for someone his age and helps him stay social so I guess it’s fine with me!

Calgary Events

For my friends living in Calgary or looking to Rent a home in Calgary. ( RentCalgary.com ) I have a list of a few events you may want to check out! First for the music lovers!

Over at the Calgary Stampede, July 30, there will be a Slayer and Rob Zombie concert! I haven't seen either one, but they are on my list of bands I would like to see play live. Opening for them is Exodus, a San Francisco thrash metal band.

If that wasn't your thing, then how about a fun family event Inglewood Sunfest. This has something for the whole family!!! Bouncy houses for the little ones, a Car show for the Car people, lots of food and activities. If I had to chose between the two this would be the one : )
