Homesickness is a natural part of summer camp. Here's some advice from Rich Morell of Camp Birch Hill to beat it.

For most people, a home's heating and air conditioning system is just something that's there, out of sight and out of mind.  It keeps the dwelling warm in winter and cool in summer, with the only requirement being a short walk to the thermostat to adjust it to an appropriate setting. 

Continuous exposure to sunlight may cause more dangers to your skin as well as household stuffs. If you want to get rid of this sunlight and protect you and your belongings, install you home windows with thin films that may be dark or light depending on your requirements.

When children return from college, their parents suddenly have to stop using their rooms as temporary storage spaces. Fortunately, public storage in Houston can help free up some much-needed space around the home by getting some of those boxes and shelves out of the way during the summer months when the kids are home from school.

Anyone else got anything they could add to this list?? Keep it clean!

Patio space may be an extension to your kitchen or living space or it can be an exclusive retreat. We can enjoy a cool summer night at the patio. So let's do some decorating to our patio space to enjoy the outdoor life. Here we are going to share some amazing patio decorating tips.

Many people will add beauty to their outdoor space during spring and summer to enjoy the outdoor life. They may have get-together and barbecue at their backyard garden. Though in winter, it is quite cold outside. But we also can decorate our outdoor area to add seasonal flair to our garden. Christmas is just on the way. Let's decorate our outdoor for a festival mood.

Summer is here at last and the lawn wants cutting. In the shed hides the old battered lawn mower that is past its use by date or perhaps the shed is not yet the home of a lovely lawn mower that will bring smiles to your lawn and garden!!!

The Daily Kool family has always toyed with the idea of getting an ice cream maker for our home. As parents, we are often concerned about controlling the quality of ingredients in the food our children eat. Store-bought ice cream often has additives, so we often prefer the premium brands...hey, if we can't pronounce it, we certainly don't want to eat it. But, wow. Premium ice cream definitely comes at a premium price. An ice cream maker may seem like a perfect solution, but since no one in our household can ever agree on one flavor (heaven forbid), we always figured it would be a wasted investment...until now.

Yesterday, we returned from our gluttonous trip to our local Carvel ice cream shop on a euphoric sugar high. Oh yeah...The Daily Kool family has officially kicked off our celebration of National Ice Cream Month! Needless to say, we were in a fabulous mood when we walked through our front door. Of course, so was our lovable dog, Pepper...we may have mentioned him a few hundred times or so in our previous blog posts. Well, Pepper (as usual) was beside himself with joy when we came home, wagging his tail a mile a minute to show how excited he was to see us. We're telling you, there's not much that beats the feeling of unconditional love from a furry friend. Wait a minute...did we say unconditional? Because when Pepper got closer to lick our faces (hey, he's a French poodle, after all), he literally took a giant sniff of our ice cream breath and reeled back from each of us in indignant shock. Okay, we realize we're attributing human characteristics to our dog (doesn't everybody?). But seriously, you should have seen the accusatory look on his face before he pointedly turned his doggie butt on us and walked away to pout on his bed. Yep, Pepper's big brown eyes can really bring on the guilt. No doubt about it, our dog wanted to be a part of July's National Ice Cream Month holiday.

The Daily Kool had a great Fourth of July holiday this past weekend. We went to our parents, had an amazing barbecue lunch (courtesy of Dad and Weber's Way to Grill), enjoyed Mom's famous pasta salad and spent the early afternoon playing games with the kids. Ah, family togetherness...you gotta love it. Okay, who are we kidding? Fourth of July is all about the fireworks. Our city park has a spectacular concert and fireworks event every year, and the kids spend all afternoon, anxiously waiting for it to be time to go to the show. Unfortunately, the sun is still brutally strong when the show begins, and by the time it gets dark, the evening rains inevitably come out to put a damper (couldn't resist the pun) on our fireworks fun. Sure, we have a beach umbrella that we use to ward off the elements, but it's cumbersome and doesn't provide nearly enough coverage for our family of four.

Avocados are one of the excellent summer grown fruit, which is high in sustenance and essence. Developing avocado trees is quite simple and anybody can develop their own specific plant by planting an avocado pit. A citrus avocado fruit trees almost takes 10 to 15 years from seed to generate fruit.
