All Hail The Spring Season!

Springtime Means More Outdoor Time

Whether we like it or not, when the spring season gets here, we are more than likely going to be spending more time outside. With the exception of those rainy days, blaming the weather or the temperature in order to be a couch potato doesn't really work. Between yard work, spring cleaning, and various outdoor holidays, the spring season is definitely a time of change. However, if you suffer from any seasonal allergies, it can be a change for the worse. 

Deciding which is worse between long cold nights and seasonal allergies is like deciding which is better between a root canal or appendectomy. For me, since I am warm-natured, I can handle the cold better than most people so I tend to get a little put off by the coming of spring because I know I will be fighting stuffy noses and itchy, watery eyes for a few months. However, I am not completely incapacitated by my allergies and I can still take part in most outdoor activities as long as I have taken the proper pills and nasal sprays. 

Outdoor Comfort

Now just because the outdoors is slightly uncomfortable for me in the grand scheme of things doesn't mean I can't try my best to find comfort in other ways. When my family and I are sitting outside on the patio, we can relax on our new set of outdoor chairs and loveseat. This new set of seats and the matching table make it super easy to get the kids to come outside and enjoy nature when we have company over to visit. Everyone has a comfortable place to sit and if we have plates of food, the table is right there so no one has to sit their plate on their lap. Although, we do have to worry about my kid's dog, Buddy (I let them name him) trying to sneak off with some tasty grub from our plates.

Are You Graduating Senior Bound for College?

Graduating from high school is definitely an exhilarating time in everyone’s life. You are permanently closing one chapter of your life and opening a new chapter. College is definitely an exciting prospect for many as you move away from home and gain a lot more autonomy. There are several parts of college to look forward to. One, of course, is being away from home for the first time. Another is the extreme change in course work. Rather than having a lot of busy work like you had in high school you only have assignments that are mandatory and specific to your course. And what’s best is that your courses only made a few days a week instead of five. College is also another opportunity to meet a lot of new people and make new friends. Of course perhaps the most exciting aspect of moving off to college is getting your own place.

Furnishing Your New Place

If you are moving into your own apartment off-campus, you are getting your first place. It is highly probable that at this point in time you have nothing to move into your new location. I remember whenever I jumped in my first place while in college all we had was a TV that sat on the floor, and old nightstand, and the box spring and mattress on the floor as well. At this point, our apartment was definitely very desolate looking. But as time went on, we were able to collect items and thus furnish the apartment and make it more like home. This can be accomplished by purchasing a variety of things.

The Joys of Apartment Life

The Joys of Apartment Life

Whenever many of us move out on her own for the first time the first place we live is an apartment complex. An apartment complex is a great starter home for young people as they venture out. There are several reasons for this. The number one reason is that there is a diminished sense of responsibility. You don’t have to worry about doing yard work, or take responsibility for fixing repairs. Apartment complexes also introduce young people to socialization with neighbors. You will inevitably have neighbors all around you, and an apartment complex can teach you how to be a good neighbor. Apartment complexes are also great because you can start off with a one bedroom apartment that is small enough that you don’t have to have a lot to furnish it. Because of this reason, you only have essentially three rooms to furnish.

How to Accommodate a Guest in an Apartment Complex

The problem, however, with a small apartment is how to accommodate a guest. What if friends come over, or a family member comes to visit and stays the night. You do not have a guest room in an apartment. At the same time, you do not want your guests sleeping on the floor either. Thankfully there is the perfect piece of furniture for an apartment complex that will serve function and style. That piece of furniture is a futon. The futon works as a couch whenever you need it.

What’s more, a futon is typically much more affordable than a couch. So if you are trying to furnish an apartment but don’t have a lot of money, you can get a futon to work as the primary seating in your living room. Futons also fold out into beds. Because of this if you have a guest staying over your couch can turn into a bed.
