Gardening is considered as a relaxing activity for many people. Gardening at home is also such a great hobby especially for home owners with a big backyard. In that way, they can plant flowers and trees anywhere they want or they can make garden beds or plots for their plants to grow beautifully. Gardening may be specialized, with only on type of plant grown, or it can involve a number of different plants in mixed plantings. Gardening also ranges in scale from fruit orchards, to long plantings of one or more different type of shrubs, trees, herbaceous plants, to residential yards, including lawns and foundation plantings, to plants in large or small containers or in a commercial redwood planter to a large cedar planter that is either grown inside or outside.


Improving the beauty of our garden always depend on the homeowner. They can either get help from a professional gardener or search online for tips and advices from other blogger. To be able to create a perfect front yard or backyard landscapes, a gardener must know what plant, trees or flower is compatible to the soil that they have or what is in seasoned plant, so that their effort of growing these plants will not go to waste just because it does not suit the weather. Having gardening tools at home can be a big help especially if you are just starting your own garden, be sure to have even just the basic essential gardening tools because it will really help in improving your own garden.

Pottery Making


When I was a child, I have always wondered how the pots are made. My mom used to tag me along whenever she is buying pots for her plants and flowers at a pottery. They are so beautiful to look at but they seemed so hard to make. While my mom is looking around for pots, I was also roaming around the pottery to see were their workplace is. I was very amazed to see the pots all lined up and displayed all over the place, there are varieties of design, all were handcrafted by their skilled potters. When I reached the end of the pottery, there I saw a small house that is filled with newly made pots, some of them were even broken and some didn't pass the quality test. I also saw an oven, and I heard that they call it Kiln, that is where they put the clay that they have formed. 


I was about to ask the potter, why they are doing that process, but my mom already called me because we are going home already. With that question in mind, I just asked my mom instead. She explained that the kiln is used to harden objects that are made from clay into pottery. Today, there are still great potters but some of them were already replaced by machines to double the productivity and work efficiency. It is always great to see how pottery making has changed globally and has changed the and help the lives of many people all these years. Because of these pots, planters were born. Planters are more chic and modern and are usually used in many establishments as well as at home. If pots are made by clay, these planters are made of different materials, like ceramics, fiberglass, resin, wood and PVC or polyvinyl chloride. 


One example of a planter is the Square Modern Low Bowl Planters, which offers a contemporary twist on the traditional set of planters that are made by Planters Unlimited. It comes in different sizes, depending where you will be displaying the planters and what flower you will be planting.

Safari Themed park


People always seek adventure for many reason, some wanted to simply unwind and relax their mind from their busy day to day life, some wanted to have just pure fun, while others are embracing the idea of being kid's at heart. One of the few Adventure Parks that I have known is the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin and Sandusky, Ohio that features over 200,000 square feet of family fun and excitement with an unprecedented array of indoor activities and attractions and the Kalahari, Ohio being the largest in the United States. Who wouldn't love to see these adventure filled site right? It is not just designed for kids and children but for those who are kids at heart too.


Kalahari resort got it's name after the Kalahari Dessert in Southern Africa, and afterwards they have decided to use the African theme on their decoration. Lobbies are decorated with artificial fountains, artificial trees and flowers all planted in a Cape Cod Tapered Planters and most of all, artificial and real animals are displayed too. Additional Special African-themed events such as getting photographed with together with the baby tigers, are also held. African animals are also used to name most of the Water slides in the theme park like the Rippling Rhino and the Wild Wildebeest. The water park contains a FoilTec roof system that lets in natural light, which does not limit the guest to receive a suntan at anytime of the year. With additional amenities like the two "Flow Rider" surfing simulators, a basketball pool, a children's play area, an indoor/outdoor hot tub, a swim up bar and a man made wave pool whose strong waves are intended to create an ocean-like atmosphere. 


The Sandusky Kalahari also has condominiums and spa, for more information about the room rates, reservation and things to do or where to eat, you can check out their website.

Luxury of Hotels


A lot of expensive and luxurious hotel are now being made and built and still growing in numbers, but only the rich and are born with golden spoon can afford the room rates and the foods they serve. The middle-class would need their whole year salary just for one night stay at a Presidential Suite and a lifetime savings from the lower-class before they can sleep at a Royal Suite of a five-star or six-star hotel. Yes, there are still low class hotels but the amenities and the rooms and the services are way incomparable to the higher class hotels. If only there are hotel that can serve or cater to the needs and wants of all levels of people in our society wherein the higher class could mingle, share stories and smiles with the lower ones. Maybe in the near future, but not yet in our time. 


Hotels are the number one option for people who wants to relax and spend a day or two pampering themselves. Most couples would also want to celebrate their monthsaries or anniversaries on a hotel, the reason might be because of the place or room that hotels offer would let them have time for themselves to reminisce how they started and could plan more for their future, or they could enjoy a relaxing spa or massage at their own hotel room to de-stress their bodies from a very tiring week and order some food or wines that is perfect for the celebration. Some hotels have jacuzzi installed in their rooms for added amenities because not all homes are equipped with these kind of luxury. Real or artificial plants and flowers that are either planted on a fiberglass pot or a copper hanging basket for additional decoration, so that guest would still feel at home and more comfortable staying at the hotel room. 


As for me, I would still prefer to stay at home with my family, enjoying quality time with my husband and our son. Nothing compares to the smell of the fresh air that is coming into our room and the sunlight that wakes up our little boy every morning. Contentment is something that we decide for ourselves and is something that we should be proud of to have in our life.
