In an ideal world, we parents would just lounge around the house all day, and sip pinacoladas as we watch our kids frolic around our 6-bedroom mansion.  Reality bites though, and we have to work like horses just to put food on the table.  That being the case, we find ourselves grappling for more time to spend with the kids.  If you are strapped for cash to go on that dream vacation you’ve been wishing so hard for, you can always find cheaper alternatives to keeping the family bonds strong.  One of them is music.

Music speaks a language which words sometimes cannot express.  If you’re feeling particularly tired after a long day at work, for instance, when you get home, you can simply sit on your comfy couch, turn on some relaxing music and simply hug your wife or kids as you stare into nothingness.  You don’t need to say anything, as your touch and the background music is enough to say how much you long to be with them.

If you happen to have a son who is so into his silvertone acoustic guitars, you can spend some time just hanging out with him, listening to him play.  Again, you don’t need to speak a word.  Your mere presence will mean a lot to him.

If you have a preschooler who is a huge fan of the Wiggles, pop in one of their DVDs and sing and dance along with her.  She’ll appreciate your efforts at twisting your body just to be with her.

Music in all its forms is a good way to bond with your family.  No matter how busy you are, you are sure to find ways to spend quality time with the family as you share your interest in music.

Imagine a life without knowing who your mother is.  That can hardly be called a life, can it?  That would be just one dreary existence totally devoid of love.  We may get love from other people, but the truth is, nothing quite beats a mother’s love.  It is love in its truest form: genuine and unadulterated.  So, it’s only but fitting that we honor our moms on Mother’s Day.  Although you hardly have the money to get your mom that luxury car or a beach house in Malibu, you can still find gifts for her which will make her feel special.

If your mom is a busy workaholic, she would appreciate a day at the spa, or tickets to her favorite artist’s concert.  If she is more of a homebody, you can get her a good book.

Surprises will never fail to win your mom over, so you can whip something up in the kitchen for her.  It could be a simple dinner or a cake you baked yourself.

Whatever you decide to give or do for your mom on Mother’s Day, she’s sure to flip over because she’ll know that those presents come from a wellspring of love.

Winter Blast of Cash Giveaway sign-ups are open at GiveawayPromote. I’ve signed up and will be participating! JOIN ME! The event will be held from February 20th-March 4th. There is an increasing cash prize, currently at $320. When you sign up, tell them that Happy Home and Family sent you!

So, what exactly constitutes a rotten neighbor? Simply put, he’s someone who disturbs your otherwise peaceful home existence.  They do annoying things such as play loud music all day or just let their dog bark his lungs out in the dead of the night.  They behave as if they were the only people on the block.

The first thing to do is to talk to your neighbor.  Just remember not to do it in the heat of anger, as you might say or do something you’ll later on regret.  Calmly walk up to him and squarely tell him what’s bothering you about his behavior.  In retaliation, he may say some negative things about you as well, so be open to his criticism.

Try to strike a compromise.   Come to a decision which will ultimately benefit you both.

If that doesn’t work, call the police.  Your neighbor may then realize how bad things have gone that you have resorted to such a measure.  It’s either that, or he may just get more furious.  In that case, start writing every incident down, so you can make a formal report or complaint to the authorities.  Court dramas are nasty, but if it has to reach that level, then so be it.

A note though: You can only join this on one blog/page. There will be a maximum of 39 entries ONLY. If you have more than 39, I reserve the right to delete duplicate or fraudulent entries. May I request that you use only one name and email address for quicker validation of entries.

On the first mandatory entry, please do not forget to write Happy Home and Family referred you since it is a mandatory entry. You must complete the first 2 tasks before the others are enabled, and for all your other entries to count.

Thank you very much and good luck. By joining this giveaway, you agree to the Terms and Conditions on the bottom of the form. Contest is open all-day Wednesday, from February 1st, 12:01am EST to February 1st,11:59pm EST (February 1st, 1:01pm Philippine time to February 2nd, 12:59pm Philippine time).

Clutter can be a real problem for families with small children, especially developing ones who are quickly growing out of trends and toys and need new ones to accommodate for their growth. Ensuring that every member of the family has a substantial amount of personal and private space is not an easy task. Creating an extra room in the garden, however, is.

Garden sheds can be painted or decorated to suit any taste or need, so creativity can really be expressed when designing a playroom. Simply remove any unwanted items from the shed, store all garden equipment in a garage or other place to keep out of reach of children, and give it a thorough clean. Once all the dirt, dust and mess is removed from the shed, painting can begin. It is important to remember to purchase paint that is suitable for wooden surfaces.

Furniture can now be implemented into the design. A desk or table, chairs and games consoles can be included, all in bright colours to make your child or children feel at home when they are using it. Boxes and cupboards can be placed around the shed to store all toys, books and games.

Not only is this a great way to store toys and improve the overall appearance of the home, but it is also great for parents to feel relaxed in their house. Whilst children are playing outside in the garden, you are safe in the knowledge that they are near the house, away from strangers yet enjoying the outdoor life.

Garden sheds can be transformed into almost any room you require. With a little planning, creativity and a tiny budget, sheds can be the perfect addition to your home. They are also much cheaper than an extension.
