Are You Expecting?

If you're awaiting a little one on the way, you're likely mulling over how you will design the nursery. Having a baby is such an exciting and rewarding time, so plan ahead and have the nursery ready to go when your bundle of joy makes an appearance. Be sure to follow these tips when you start designing your baby's new nursery:

  • Pick out flexible decor. Keep in mind, your little baby won't be a baby forever, and eventually you will want to transform the room for your child. With that in the back of your head, pick out furniture and color palettes that you can work with at a later time.
  • Safety comes first. You should plan ahead to baby-proof your nursery. For example, there have been some recently implemented codes and specification regarding cribs and the distance between the bars.
  • Think about proximity. When you are rushing around with a new baby, you want the location of your nursery to fit well with the other amenities in your house. Accommodate yourself as much as possible to prepare ahead of time. Many parents prefer the nursery to be as close as the master bedroom as possible.
  • Color palettes you look at should be fairly neutral and pastel in shade. This component creates a calming, relaxing environment for your baby, and it is sure to calm you, too.
  • Select core pieces beforehand. There will be a few items that you will definitely need to find, like a crib, a changing table, and a chair to rock or nurse the baby. If you choose these pieces first, you will have a better grasp on the theme of your nursery.

#SolarSunday

Having a pool to cool off and relax in is a luxury that is especially nice during these hot summer months. But, like most luxuries in life, time, energy, and money must be put into owning a pool. One of the costs associated with having a pool is the money it takes to heat a pool. If you are interested in swimming in your pool after the sun goes down or during cooler months, heating your pool is a viable option to consider. Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector. Solar hot water collectors are thin and generally mounted on a roof. Thin pipes of water then run through the collector. When the sun's rays hit the collector, they heat the running water inside.
