The icing on the cake was the 4 years

My son's bedtime ritual (like that of many young children) is written in stone. After reading a book or two Mallory Pugh USA Jersey , we snuggle into his bed and compare notes about the day. I ask him if today was a good day and being a cheerful fellow he always says "yes".

After reviewing the highlights of the day -- all the elements that made it a "good day" -- I ask him which was the best part. Often the answer surprises me but after some reflection I decided this fact was due to something pretty wonderful. My child has his priorities in the right order.

Noah's grandparents live in another state so when they visit there tends to be even more spoiling than might be expected from grandparents. One visit from my parents included several small gifts presented at the beginning of the visit, a trip to Wal-Mart with grandparents to purchase a new power ranger, and another trip to Wal-Mart with Grandpa to buy a new Spider Man bike and helmet (Noah's first big bike). They also took him on several outings to the park Lynn Williams USA Jersey , children's museum, McDonalds and so on.

However after the grandparents had departed I asked Noah about the best part of the visit. He thought for a moment and said: "Going for a walk with Grandpa and seeing the dead possum."

The dead possum is located on a route we follow pretty regularly for our walks and we have watched the decomposition process with interest. Whenever we see the possum Noah always mentions his grandfather and whenever they speak on the phone he updates his grandfather on the status of the corpse.

Just think about these stories. Noah was showered with gifts and lavish outings but his favorite memory is a simple walk to the local airport and checking out the sites along the way.

Why do we spend so much money during the holidays on expensive gifts that will most likely be forgotten or tossed aside or outgrown -- sometimes before the tinsel is taken down. In the end it is lavishing our time and attention on our loved ones that is the greatest gift of all.

Not only is it a wonderful gift for our loved ones (who likely won't require a dead possum for bonding) but it is also a wonderful gift for ourselves. The holiday season can be frantic and filled with crazy shopping malls and unjolly traffic jams. Taking time out to spend quality time with our loved ones is really what we should give ourselves this holiday season.

Sitting around the kitchen table making homemade Christmas cards with Noah means our holiday message will stand out from the pile of glitzy prepackaged cards and we will have spent hours together giggling over our work with glue, construction paper Lindsey Horan USA Jersey , and scissors. I don't know about you but I'd much rather bond over glitter glue than a decomposing possum.

We are also working on his holiday gifts for various family members which I know will be lovingly appreciated by grandparents and cousins alike. More than crafting picture frames and holiday scarves we are crafting memories that I hope he will cherish his whole life. And I hope that I am teaching him that gifts from the heart mean much more than gifts from the wallet.

But then he may already know that as he snuggles down beneath his pillow and quilt -- both lovingly quilted by his grandmother -- for his afternoon nap.

It was by sheer providence that Grassmats came across our sight. We had been looking for artificial grass cover for our lawn as natural grass was very troublesome to maintain. Moreover, we did not have the time to tend to it on a regular basis. What we wanted was fake grass which required little care and remained green and fresh looking all year round. Moreover, there was no fear of our pets diggings because artificial grass sold by Grassmats was of prime quality and was immune against tear and wear to a huge extent.

Here is my review of the fake grass which I bought from Grassmats.

How We Found Grassmats?

The company has a good network of popular landscape artists based in UK and one of those happened to be a family friend. She suggested the name because she believed in the quality of products sold by the Grassmats. She had good experience working with the company in several projects where she used artificial grass around pools Kelley O’Hara USA Jersey , patios and hallways. So we decided to go ahead and find for ourselves if the stories about Grassmats were true.

Why We liked Artificial Grass by Grassmats?

We were particularly pleased with the installation services provided by them. It did not take much time and since we had a levelled lawn there was no need for sand filling.

We had in mind the type of fake grass turfs which could withstand physical strain of our kids walking, cycling and playing on it. Occasional get-together parties and our pets were factors which had to be accounted for.

We went for the 4 metre wide version which had 30 mm tall fake blades of grass. The product was ideal for us since it could withstand kids, pets and everything that was thrown at it! The product was UV stabilized which meant fading of colour was not an issue. I must mention Julie Johnston USA Jersey , the look and feel of artificial grass will fool anyone.

The icing on the cake was the 4 years manufacturer’s warranty! One thing which requires special mention is the multi-toned appearance which is as close as fake grass can get to real grass. Grassmats’ products were worth my money and I would recommend their services to you. Synthetic Grass prices were affordable, the 4 metre version is priced a little over £ 20 inclusive of VAT.

Great fishing supplies are an essential when it comes to netting the big game out at the lake or the stream. You can't expect the fish to bite, though Julie Ertz USA Jersey , if you don't bring your A game. And a big part of a top-notch game is the right gear--from rods and reels, to lines, lures Hope Solo USA Jersey , and tackle boxes.
