Museum Trees has beautiful realistic plants and trees for your home.  I was recently asked to review a silk plant in my home from Silk Plants Direct.    The decision was so hard, because all of the plants and trees are so nice and I couldn't decide what to choose.  I decided to pick out a potted 3 ft  outdoor cedar pine tree that I could use to decorate my home for the holidays. I was so excited when I received my order.  It was nicely boxed and ready to display right out of the box. I like using artificial trees and plants around the home because to me they are easy to care for, require no maintenance and look real.  They also had a beautiful touch to my home.  I do not have  a green thumb at all and have always had bad luck with real plants.  Now, I can have plants in my home that will last. My plant came nicely boxed and ready to display. It looks so real!  ...

The new year is upon us and if you are like me, you are starting to compile a list of New Year resolutions. One of the main resolutions that I have is to get organized.  I have my little junk drawers and baskets around that house that I use to throw things in that I can't get to right away, and they seem to be spiraling out of control.  This year, I am going to make an attempt to get that all in order and keep myself more organized. Songmics is a company that makes items to help keep you organized in style!  Their assortment of  organizing products for the home is impressive. You can check out the Amazon store  and see all of the wonderful products they make. One product that I particularly like is this Makeup Train Case .  This product was sent to me by Songmics to review and I love it. It is substantial in size and can hold a lot of cosmetics.  It is deep enough to hold your foundations bottles upright.  There are...

What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree in your living room eating candy and snacks out of your socks? What does a snowman like to eat for breakfast?

What is the IoT?  The IoT is the Internet of Things. Still not sure what that is?  Here is a simple explanation written by Jacob Morgan on Forbes.com   “Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This includes everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of.  This also applies to components of machines, for example a jet engine of an airplane or the drill of an oil rig.  The IoT is a giant network of connected "things" (which also includes people).  The relationship will be between people-people, people-things, and things-things.” Since more people will be using more things to be connected to their homes, their things and each other, there will be a need for more app development.  With app development, there will be a need for more ad hoc reporting .  So...
