Going Ethnic

I am a big big fan of anything ethnic! I love to collect and wear ethnic clothes and jewelries. For my up and coming ma-in-law's birthday, I chose ethnic clothes for my daughters and myself. As I was browsing the net for more ideas on ethnic clothing I was taken to an India Shopping online store that sells authentic sarees and other ethnic Indian items of clothing. The site is www. utsavsarees.com. I was astounded by the beautiful sarees on sale. There are wedding sarees, embroidered, handloom, traditional, casual, party wear and more. Take a look at the gerogette saree that I prefer. Pretty cool huh?! Care to order one for yourself? Hope on over to the site as there are more to choose from.

Submitting URLs to Website Directories

If you have not submitted your blog(s) to any website directory, where have you been all this time? For your blog or website to get noticed and listed, you have to submit your site to different directories. Now, if you are in business and your blog or site is the forefront of your business, submitting to a business web directory is important. Submitting your site for listing will make it easier for browsers (potential clients) to find your site. A good web directory would have categories and sub-categories for you to have your site listed. Sample categories are: Arts and Humanities with sub-categories in Architecture, Galleries, Visual Arts and more. Most of these directories are free and require link backs. As directories really scrutinize each submitted URL, it is best to submit to as many free website directories are possible. Example of free web directories are DMOZ and Yahoo Directories. If you are a mom blogger like me, there are numerous mom blogs directories online too.

I have submitted both my blogs to a number of SEO friendly web directory. All I had to do was submit my blog's URL, description tag, meta-tag (if you have)to a category and sub-category that best suit my blogs. Some directories' approve at once. Some, like DMOZ, takes forever to approve. There are two simple ways to generate hits and attract visitors to a site. First, you can set up your own directory and have thousands on backlinks. Second, you can submit your site to directories to increase web traffic to your site thus giving your site a higher ranking on search engines. There are two ways to submit to website directories too. You can submit your blog to hundreds of directories yourself or you can pay someone ( website directory submitters). Either way, your site's URL will be in hundreds of website directories.

Clutter Fix

Having five kids sure made me accumulate so much stuff -junk and non-junk- over the years. Every so often, I try to de-clutter my house but it's just not enough. My family buy things like clothes, shoes, and other personal belongings on a regular basis. Somehow, giving away old clothes, shoes and toys to charity is easier that throwing away old scraps and crafts done by my kids. My kids were actually surprised to find my old grade school and their old grade school report cards safely tucked in one of my drawers.

One of my close friends has lived for a number of years abroad. She and her family have accumulated so much things like furniture, paintings and other art works. Since her family is constantly on the move she got a Self Storage unit for the things that "need" to be stored. Such facilities like the Self Storage Facilities Phoenix AZ offer a great value for your money. The units are fenced-in with your own access code and lighted easy access driveways. Extra high lights are climate-controlled units and drive-up accessible units. These and more are offered atStorage Rentals Phoenix AZ. Do you want to clean-up your house without really throwing anything away? Check out the link.

Hot Summer Solution

It is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. School is out and most moms, dads and kids are now thinking of making their summer fun and memorable and cool. "Cool" in the sense of refreshing. My brother-in-law who lives with his family in Houston is complaining of the hot-humid weather they are now experiencing. He said his HVAC had a slight problem and at the moment not at its full capacity. HVAC is an acronym for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. It is a system that controls the "climate" within residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The primary use of HVAC is to regulate room temperature, humidity, and air flow, ensuring that such elements remain within ideal ranges.

I told my brother-in-law to call the services of a Houston HVAC company known by its catchy name of Air-Mergency. The company is owned and managed by Fred Pettengill who has been in the HVAC business for the last 33 years. The company has a string of highly-satisfied customer under its belt for it has continuously showed professionalism and quality work in jobs done.One of Air-Mergency's trade mark is its efficiency in giving its customer an exact quote in terms of pricing and number of hours of the work to be done. The company also deals with HVAC Repairs, preventive maintenance, system installatiions and indoor air quality. If you're within the general area of Houston, better check the site out just like what bro-in-law did.

He Anoints Your Head with Oil

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

“…You anoint my head with oil"
(Psalm 23:5, NKJ)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

In the Bible, oil is symbolic of the anointing of God. Do you know what oil does? It makes things flow. Whenever there is friction or something gets stuck, putting oil on it makes it become more fluid. That’s what God wants to do for you. He wants to anoint your head with oil. When he does that, notice what David says in Psalm 23, “Because God anoints me, because I walk in His favor; surely, goodness and mercy will follow me everywhere I go."

His anointing makes things easier. People will go out of their way to be good to you for no reason. You’re going to have creativity, wisdom, and good ideas. God’s anointing on your life will cause the right doors to open. It will bring the right people across your path. It will make things go smoother. And the good news is, all you have to do is ask Him for it. Remember, He longs to be good to you. You can trust that His anointing will make things easier, and He will lead you into the abundant life He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your favor in my life today. Thank you for causing me to be at the right place at the right time. Anoint my head with Your oil so that I move forward in the path You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Right Price at Every Price

When you become a mom, you become a hunter... that is, a bargain hunter. Mommies are always on the look out for the best buys, lowest priced, whale-of-a-sale, and what-have-you. I bet it's every mom's wish that everyday is a Black Friday! Bargain hunting has become easier over the years, thanks to internet technology. A bargain conscious mom could very well just type any commodity or item she wants and presto! - a string of all sites carrying the item comes out. However, there is a new site I found that is incredibly helpful in finding the lowest priced item even on a "non-sale" day. Every Price is a price comparison network. Search for an item and out comes the pricing of the item on three sites with a recommendation on site that sells if for less. One could actually purchase the said item without leaving Every Price.

The site is easy to navigate. There are items under Photo, Jewelry, Electronics, Computers, Home and Garden, Travel, Musical Instruments and more. I have always wanted a Wii Console. I searched for the item and out came three comparative prices with a recommendation on the site that sells if for less. Great huh?!I suggest you check out the site.
