Make a good house a GREAT home
Some tips, tricks and suggestions for home improvement and interior decorating
A friend of mine and his wife are relatively new parents, and I convinced him to share his experiences in a blog.
He’s done that over at Baby R Us (you’ll have to go ask him about the name), but he’s got a particularly interesting series going on related to Baby Showers.

This isn’t a review, because I don’t have the Canon EOS 40D yet. But I will. And hopefully REALLY soon. I’ve been saving up for one for 2 years now, and I’m now ready to buy one, but the problem is, it hasn’t been released yet.
For those that don’t know, the Canon EOS 40D is a digital SLR camera. An upgrade from the ever popular EOS 30D. And it has been rumoured to be coming out for about a year now. Except it now seems very likely that it will be released in September this year. At least, that’s according to a whole lot of unconfirmed sources.

My wife recently gave me a GREAT gift. An Advanced Driving Lesson given by Audi.
I personally think that EVERYBODY should go on this course. Especially young drivers as it will give them a bit more confidence on the road. It would probably make a GREAT 21st birthday present (it’s not that cheap, so it has to be a big occasion).

UPDATE:
Go check out my new article entitled “3G iPhone“.
It documents some of the new features of the brand new 3G iPhone which will be arriving in South Africa VERY SOON!!
There’s also a couple of videos showing you all the cool features…
Will the Apple iPhone come to South Africa any time soon?
I don’t think so. At least, I hope not. There are a few reasons for this.
But first, lets take a look at this BEAUTIFUL phone and see what makes it a good product (without actually being able to hold it). I didn’t say “what makes it a good phone”, because I don’t need a real phone anymore, I’m a SmartPhone user, more specifically, I own an iMate kjam with Windows Mobile 5.

Again, this is common sense.
Our wedding photographer took excellent photographs at our wedding, as I mentioned in my article where I reviewed our wedding photographer. But, we just had the photos sitting in the wedding album which we would take out and show people if they hadn’t seen it yet (and if they asked… I promise we weren’t forcing it on people 🙂 ).

Here’s another nice tip that works well for us.
I’m sure you’ve bought vases or plates etc. and when you get home you struggle to wash off the sticky price tags from the bottom. And, even if you manage to take them off, you sometimes end up with a dirty, stubborn gray sticky bit left.

If you’ve been growing your roses and you’d like a simple, yet slightly different way to use them to decorate a table, here’s an idea we tried out at home that, personally, looks really good.
And, some benefits are that it’s really quick to do, and really quick to clean, as you’ll see.

A recent visitor to this site was looking for a review of NetFlorist, which, according to www.netflorist.co.za is “South Africa’s Largest Flower and Gifting Service“.
I’ve used them a couple of times, and both times for Valentine’s Day (which I mentioned in my “Gift ideas for Mothers Day in South Africa” article). Perhaps twice is not a massive amount, but I think it’s enough to give you an account of my experiences.

I live in a complex with a couple of wandering cats, and I really want to stop the cats from using my flower beds as a litterbox.
