My husband and I stayed at the Mc Lure House Hotel in Wheeling West Virginia on a trip to Wheeling a few years ago. This hotel used to be the Ramada, but was since bought and is now called the Mc Lure House. This is the only hotel that is in the older section of downtown Wheeling. That is why we stayed there. The rest of the hotels are in the newer section of Wheeling. The Mc Lure House is abou...

I have always been interested in older homes.  All of the more common magazines seem to focus on the more modern home.  This magazine actually adresses the various issues that one may have with their older home.It also offers suggestions on where to buy products for your home.  Products that match the architectural genre that your home captures.  I learned so much from the s...

Chapter books for little boys are almost as hard to find as cute clothes for baby boys!  Thank God for Mary Pope Osborne!  The Magic Tree House series is one of only a few chapter book series that my son enjoys and asks for.  He started reading these when he was in the end of 1st grade and still enjoys them now in 3rd.  What he likes the most about this story is the adventur...

As a little girl, I was given the complete Little House on the Prairie series by a family friend.  I read and re-read each of these books at least three dozen times from the age of 7 until I was in high school.  The story of Laura and her family, which was later made into a hugely popular TV series, captured my attention and gave me a clear idea of how life had been for children ...

I’d been wanting a Waffle House for the rats for a long time. Happy I finally got one. They are very nice, sturdy, and extremely easy to clean. Though they are plastic (and therefore, you expect some chew marks),  I’ve had no chew marks so far. Amazing!I love items that I can toss into a bathtub so soak, rinse them off, dry, and they’re ready to put in the cage again. It ...

Every spring, summer and fall, we like to sit out in our back yard to relax in the evening and just take in the view from our yard out to the field behind our home.  We have bought many different kinds of screen houses, but this year I bought the Ozark Trail. 15' x 12' Screen House.   It was much larger than the other ones I had bought, plus the center  goes up to 7&...

Simpsons Tree House of Horror Monopoly is the latest scary addition to the Monopoly family of games. If you are familiar with the game, that is the easy part. But the names of all of your beloved properties are changed to match Simpsons places and experiences, like Moe's Bar and Lard Lad Donuts. I love Monopoly and the Simpsons, so this was a great idea for me. But, I ran into a small ...

We let our children pick out a certain amount of their Christmas presents every year, it keeps disappointment down to a minimum this way (everyone knows that parents are occasionally dorks when it comes to gift picking!).Our oldest and youngest kids were easy to get for and after thirty minutes or so both of them had picked what they wanted. Now for our middle child and oldest daughter. She wal...

When I bought a house with a pool, I was set on my boyfriend building a pool house. After two failed attempts, he talked me into buying a pre-made pool house and having it delivered and set up for us. I went to a nationally known company called The Barnyard and I was able to pick out the perfect pool house gazebo for us!I chose a white pool house gazebo with vinyl siding and slate colored shing...

This is a great classic baby/toddler book.  It has a simple, yet fun, poetic theme that centers around a house where everyone falls asleep on the same bed, at least for a time.The illustrations, done by Don Wood, are wonderful.  The book is written by Audrey Wood.  And, the book is made of pretty hefty cardboard, so it's managed to survive a few years of use and abuse by two ...

I am a big fan of House M.D. I have faithfully rented all the previous seasons 1-3 from my local library. My husband gave me season 4 as a gift! I was thrilled! This show is about a wise cracking diagnostic specialist named Gregory House (Hugh Laurie). He loves solving medical mysteries, popping vicodin, and he always has a witty humorous (sometimes mean) thing to say. He heads a team...

This is a remake that wasn't as widely anticipated as other Horror movie remakes at this time (i.e. Friday the 13th) and taking into consideration how much of a masterpiece the original Last House on the left was, I was pretty skeptical. I alongside a few of my friends waited for this film like it was the second coming of Jesus and the funny thing about it was that we thought it was going t...
