Why Kayak in Baja, Mexico
Posted on March 18th, 2008 by reviewer.
Categories: Home.
I find that the older I get, the more I enjoy warm weather. As a kid I spent tons of time out in the snow building forts, sledding, skiing and launching snowballs at my siblings, but now my idea of a good time is a generous amount of sun and some fresh air. Add some water to that list, and you’ve got a great combination. After all, even sun can be overbearing if you don’t have a way to cool off.
I was lucky enough to go to Thailand on my honeymoon and during the trip I went kayaking and snorkeling for the first time in my life. The tropical waters of southern Thailand were warm and clear and it felt good to glide through the water in my own little kayak. Unfortunately, a trip to Thailand took twenty hours or more of travel time.

Why Breastfeed? (and Tips for Making it Easier)
Posted on March 14th, 2008 by reviewer.

Even though it takes a lot of time, breastfeeding yields a lot of benefits. According to many pediatricians, babies that are nourished with breast milk tend to be healthier. Their immune systems develop quicker and they are less susceptible to chronic diseases. It also means that they won’t have to deal with as many colds and ear infections which are common infant ailments.
Mothers get a few benefits from breastfeeding as well. In addition to the bond that breastfeeding creates between mother and child, breastfeeding also helps a woman’s uterus return to normal size. So, breastfeeding is an easy way to help loose the weight that you gain during pregnancy. Breastfeeding is also economical. You can save hundreds of dollars using breast instead of buying formulas, and healthier children will mean lower health costs too.

Customized Home School Curriculum
Posted on March 6th, 2008 by reviewer.

Homeschooling is on the rise as the Public Education system in our country continues to be scrutinized, maligned and persecuted, and many parents are using home school curriculums to help their children learn while becoming a major contributor to their educational process.
Finding and maintaining a good and effective home school curriculum is the single most important aspect of creating a successful home school education for your child. Because every child is different and their needs vary drastically, a well organized and comprehensive curriculum is essential to ensure a quality education and a thirst for knowledge.

Nahanni River Pictures

I’ve been wanting to take a trip north for a while now and this cements it. I did a search on flickr for Nahanni River (it’s a river in Canada) and found some really beautiful pictures. Trips shouldn’t be too expensive. (More photos after the break)
An aerial photo of the river. Looks like it’s taken from a plane in the northwest territories near nunavut.
Check out this little canoe dock. Apparently it’s taken by Nahanni Butte, a small town on the south nahanni river. Canada is amazing.
The fog on the forest really gets me. Camping where the mornings are foggy and the afternoons are bright and sunny sounds amazing.
More River Pictures
By all means, click on the photos and follow their photostreams for some more amazing pictures of the Nahanni river and the surrounding territories. A trip out there would be amazing.
Does anyone know a good outfitter, field guide or tourist service? I was looking at Blackfeather but wasn’t sure. Has anyone gone on a nahanni river trip? Share your experience!

Protecting Your Laptop
Posted on February 21st, 2008 by reviewer.

Laptops are the computers of choice for many Americans, and more and more people on converting to laptops over desktop PCs. The portability of laptops makes them ideal machines for business, academics, or for anyone who wants to the versatility of bringing their work with them.
Although they are built for durability, they stand to be more prone to damage because their portability makes them more likely to be dropped, stepped on, or banged around in a fashion that would be unheard of for a PC.

Photo Printing with Affordable Ink Cartridges
Posted on February 18th, 2008 by reviewer.
Categories: Home.
Lately I hear a lot of talk about our becoming a “paperless world”. eBooks, online newspapers, laptops and PDAs are definitely contributing to this paperless revolution, as well as our move to digital photography and photo-sharing using the internet.
I remember taking film to be developed on at least a monthly basis during my younger years, but to be honest, I can’t remember the last time I used a 35mm film camera. The digital age has changed the face of photography, but there is still a valuable use for paper today.
New advances in photo printing can help photographers (both professional and amateur) keep and share their photos in a traditional manner that is cheaper per photo than traditional film and maintains a similar quality. In addition, you can digitally alter your own photos (cropping, resizing, etc.) before printing them out.
Once the camera and printer are acquired, there are only two continued costs when using home photo printing techniques: paper and ink. For the purposes of this post, I will ignore paper, as the prices varies greatly depending on quality, manufacturer, etc. and therefore can have a fluxuating impact on the cost of home photo printing.

Wintertime - A Commentary
Posted on February 5th, 2008 by reviewer.
Categories: Home.
How do you know when you live in a place where the weather dictates how happy you are? For me it’s when I wake up to see my front yard covered in the kind of precipitation that they use a wooden ruler to measure. It’s never a good sign when I see the local meteorologist on Television using the word “feet” or “winter storm”. I’ve gotten to the point where I can read him: he blinks slowly and subtly bows his head just before delivering the proverbial knockout punch that we are about to experience another apocalyptic amount of snow and ice (more…)

Mooney Carpet Offers Quality and Affordability
Posted on January 29th, 2008 by reviewer.
Categories: Home.
When it comes to your home, few things are as make-or-break as the flooring you chose. The color of the walls, the decor, and even the furniture can all be chalked up to individual taste, but a cheap carpet or carelessly installed floor can not only become an eyesore quickly, but can also devalue your home as it may show wear and tear much earlier.
Having a quality carpet or flooring that is both high quality and low cost is of the utmost importance for most homeowners. Name brand carpeting and flooring ensures the highest quality possible, while quality store brand flooring and carpets can alleviate the financial strain of having carpets and floors installed.

One of the major issues that we face today, is that of the education of our children. Public schools across the country are on trial and the ideas of education reform and school vouchers are on the top of the list of debated topics by our leaders and politicians (more…)

Something about Northern Utah Real Estate
Posted on January 23rd, 2008 by reviewer.
Categories: Home.
The winter tends to be a depressing time of year for a lot of people. The shorter days and longer nights tend to keep our moods down, while the cold weather and sometimes icy roads can keep us penned up inside our homes longing for the spring to come, bringing with it picnics, barbeques, and outdoor fun aplenty. One of the things that I miss during the winter months is the outdoor grilling and barbeques that, to me, define summertime (more…)
