Decorate Your Garden with DIY Stepping Stone Kits

Decorate Your Garden with DIY Stepping Stone Kits

For the past 2 years my husband and I have been putting a lot of time and money into the landscaping around our home. We have a lot of plans for our property and after 2 years…I would estimate that we have accomplished 60% of 

Gardening: Growing Succulents

One of my best friends has a knack for growing plants. Everything he touches thrives and looks so amazing. I just love spending time poking through the garden. One of the things that he has been working on is succulents. He has been expanding his

Every home owner needs a good garden hose. However, not all garden hoses out in the retail marketplace are for every home owner. Some hoses are way too heavy, leak within hours and are hard to store. Well, guess what? I found the perfect garden hose for everyone!

The Ohuhu Expandable Garden Hose will expand from 17 foot to 50 foot within a few seconds! It’s cold resistant, strong, durable and super light-weight to carry around. I love that when you are not using the hose it’s compact in it’s size for storage!

The garden hose comes with an 8 function spray gun (I call them spray nozzles) with an easy-to-operate water on/off valve. You can set it for a forceful spray for heavy-duty jobs, a light misting spray and everything in between.

When you are not using the garden hose it will measure 17 feet in length. Once you turn the water on…within seconds it will automatically expand in length (3 times it’s length) to 50 feet in length. Even with the water running through the hose…it’s still extremely light-weight and can be hauled all over your yard with ease.

It took us about 4 minutes to put the spray nozzle onto the garden hose and to hook it up to our outdoor water source. Once connected, my hubby got busy watering our veggie garden in our backyard. He loved that he could set the water strength & spray pattern to exactly what he needed it to be while watering the garden. He doesn’t like using a forceful stream which knocks over your garden plants. A medium mist is perfect for this job!

Ohuhu Flexible Garden Hose

After he was done watering the garden he got busy spraying down the sides of our swimming pool that had gotten dirty and then used the garden hose to spray down all of the pool rafts & pool toys. Every evening we take them out of the pool and rinse them clean for storage until the next day. (tip: do not let these items float around in your pool all night, chlorine & chemicals cause them to break down over time. Always rinse them clean when not in use).

A little over 2 years ago I had a total hip replacement. I can no longer drag heavy and cumbersome garden hoses all over our yard. The Ohuhu Expandable Garden Hose is perfect for me because it’s light-weight and flexible. I have no issues using it nor dragging it through the yard to the area I need it to be in. When you turn off the water, it collapses back down to the 17 foot size which makes it really nice to store! I love that!

Everyone in your family can use this garden hose…even my 6 year old grand daughter had fun with it! It’s a really great product and I am glad that I finally have a garden hose that I can use without hubby’s assistance! You can learn more about it by visiting their site online.

How to Buy the Perfect Wind Chimes for Your Outdoor Space

How to Buy the Perfect Wind Chimes for Your Outdoor Space

Wind chimes are an important home decor item and can be used indoors or out. These days you can find them made out of various metals, ceramics, wood, glass, seashells and a whole host of other types of materials. They come in various shapes, sizes and styles.

When selecting the perfect chime for your home or garden it’s important to consider a few things:

* The type of materials it’s made out of will determine where you can hang it. Some chimes are specifically made for indoor use only and others can be used anywhere, while others can only be left outside during the warmer seasons of the year.

* Consider the size of the chimes! If you have a small area you will want to pick chimes that are smaller and if you are decorating a larger area, go for something big, bold and noticeable.

* The design and color that you select should work with your outdoor or indoor decor. It should compliment it and fit-in without being an eye sore.

* Wind chimes each have a unique sound and the volume of that sound can vary greatly. You need to consider this when selecting a style that would be perfect for the space that you plan on hanging them in.

Wind Chimes

Retail stores sell a wide variety of different wind chimes for inside and outside your home. For example, the Blue Cosmix Wind Chimes would be lovely hanging in a garden space, on a front porch or hanging on a branch from your favorite tree.

This particular wind chime measures 18″ long by 4″ in diameter so it will work in almost all of your outdoor spaces. The blue colored faux-crystal catches the light and really gives the chime an elegant appearance. It just needs a gentle breeze and you will hear some soft and soothing sounds.

Wind chimes are a great way to enhance your home and garden with some color and relaxing sounds.
