My former work colleague who is now based in Houston bought a house a year ago after giving birth to her second child.  A family of four needs a bigger space under the roof, she said.  She is teaching at a prestigious school since way back before she and her husband got kids.  She said that life without kids is much more easier than having one or two.  She enjoys being a mother of her two wonderful kids and she loves taking care of her husband and children, she spends quality time with them as much as she can or as soon as she is free from school and work. 

However, there are things that sometimes prevent the time of togetherness.  She said she could not just sit or play with them when she’s at home.  She has to do house works, too, and knowing that she and her hubby bought the house only means taking care of it as well.  Career and homemaking can be complicated at times.  I suggested she should hire someone to do the house works for her.  There must be an agency or a company who could help her find trusted house help.  Luckily, we both found American Home Shield in the midst of our chat while at the same time searching in the Internet.  The services offered by the company include carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and maid service.  She thought of considering this offer so that she could spend more time with her family.  American Home Shield is such a good concept for busy couples helping them achieve a less stress career and home engagement.

I know it’s exorbitant luxury to own a house like this for a couple without kids.  The extra rooms can be spacious and unoccupied.  But a well-structured house is always a dream of every couple, no matter how it costs.  I have met families living in big, comfortable houses with amenities like that of a hotel.  I wonder how they cope with all expenditure from children’s schools to extravagant lifestyles.

My dream house is not at all too grandiose.  A little, cozy house works fine.  The inside should not be so lucrative.  The outside should be a spacious lawn.  I can’t imagine I like a big lawn when I am not keen on gardening.  But a lawn adds beauty to every structure standing on it. Considering this part of a dream, I searched for conveniences around that could do the lawn works for me, just in case, and Tru Green did not disappoint me. Tru Green’s professional care is what I need to have a greener, more weed-free lawn. How convenient for my dream house with a spacious lawn. I do all the house works while Tru Green does the lawn-mowing.  Sweet dreams!

I can’t help but to look forward to another warm season again. It has been a dry winter since December and it’s still unpredictable if snow is on the way. Up north is way too long for me to go. The fact that February is the coldest month here; I could only expect at least a day or two to see soft white flakes on the ground before spring and summer hit the air.

When I was watering my indoor plants the other day, I noticed some tiny creatures flew away in haste. I thought it was just dusts from the leaves. But I saw them flying around the living room. I realized how mild this winter has been to trigger flies to come out too soon. The worse could come when termites would be active soon as well. I can deal with those tiny “banana flies” but some termites are horrifying, creepy creatures. Imagine the damage they cause to structural buildings and walls. The best thing to be done to prevent the damage is to trust a company that specializes in termites control, like Terminix. Being the first company to be awarded a U.S. patent for a termiticide, proves that their service is guaranteed effective and reliable.  With Terminix, I can protect my walls and floors from damaging pests and termites.
