One thing I love looking at when I go to swap meets or indoor shops is the Personalized Address Plaques. They are so neat and cute when you customize them.

Growing up we always just had stickers on our door and mail box, but the problem was they would tear off or just lose their look. So people were always lost when they were trying to find our house. The neighborhoods address numbers were out-of-order too.

So we went out and bought a Residential address Plaque, it was one of those Bronze Address Plaques, so I knew it would be sturdy.  It lasted us about all 14 years that we lived in the house.

It made our house look so much more nicer too, and we never had any problems with mail or pizza delivery.

Check out what you can do with your Custom Address Plaques.

We have only been to Virginia Beach a few times, usually when we were traveling up north. We would stop at Virginia Beach and enjoy it for the day. It was so beautiful though, and so much to do.

Our kids I think enjoyed it the most. They had gigantic sand castles on the beach that people were building, and the kids loved seeing how they were being made. We ran into a family from NY that were visiting, and they were praising the hotel they stayed in. The kids were given ID bracelets, in case they got lost. They said it was the best vacation so far.

Also just for kids there is the Aquarium and marine science center, which is all day fun.  Seeing all the marine life, and walking through the giant aquarium tunnel. It was beautiful and you get to learn so much about the animals.  For a price you can even get in the water and interact with seals.

Virginia Beach has so much more to offer than just a beach though. There are so many activities to do as a family or just as a couple.

• Busch Gardens Williamsburg
• Fishing
• Commodore Theatre
• kayak tours

The list goes on and on, as what there is to do at Virginia Beach.  Just visit the Visitors center and you can get pamphlets and directions to everything.  For me, the beach was so much fun, but there are so many people around it’s hard to find a quiet spot.

If you get to the beach early which I have done, you can usually find tons of exciting stuff.  You can find sand dollars , or sea stars that washed up. I’ve also found money and toys that probably fell out of pockets or got left behind.

We were only at Virginia Beach for one day, but I have heard from so many people that the one thing you don’t want to miss out on is the food tours and restaurants. They have the best seafood around.

I think Virginia Beach is a great spot fora  vacation and I hope to go back very soon.  How will you “Love The Moment In Virginia Beach?”

After a long winter, It’s time to clean up and freshen up around the house. It’s a new year and time for a new look. Here are some of my tips to help freshen up your life.

1.Clean out those closets- getting into a new routine can mean out with the old and in with the new. Clean out your closets of old clothes that don’t fit anymore, and unneeded or broken items. Making room for a new spring wardrobe.

2.Pictures- It’s spring time and it’s been getting warm all over, even here in NY. So get out of the house with family and take pictures of your kids playing soccer, or going to a amusement park. It’s also a good time to get in those pictures of butterflies, and beautiful sunsets.
Then to add some color to your house, print the photos in the size you want. Hang the around the house.

3. Spring Cleaning- Giving your house a good scrubbing can help you freshen up your life. Steam clean the carpets, so they look new don’t forget the upholstery with it. Cleaning out all the dust and even adding a new coat of paint, or changing the color of your walls.
