I lost the hubby on a day trip to the mall to one of those guitar and instruments store and found him fiddling with a boomerang iii. I don’t even know what the thing is so being the supportive wife I asked. He said that he always wanted one because it’s the best in loop pedals plus he said he can use it along with his ipod. He wanted to show me how it works, it is kind of small but he managed to work it just right to make me see how it makes that awesome loop with those five foot buttons and smart jacks. After an hour I still don’t know what a loop is but I do agree it sounded really good when he tested it.

What a wife has to do lol.

Never the sporty type, I really didn’t get to try out much sport except rowing. That which I only woke up early at 4 am for because I got my eyes set on one rower boy lol. I never got to have sport trophies for anything.

 I wish there were trophies for killing mosquitoes with that mosquito racket. I would have won. I sometimes go outside at midnight there at the park so I could electrocute some of those little monsters then I tally them up on a board. How many zaps and how many land on the floor. Gee I write weird stuff but I tell you it works.

You probably saw this being sold around group buying sites, this is the Magic Mesh Instant Screendoor , the fast and easy way to keep fresh air in and bugs out.

I bought this even after reading negative reviews because I was going to use it for a room in the house where I did not have the window screened. Seriously I’m saving money ha ha. So anyhow here’s my magic mesh review.

1. The box contains the 2 black mesh, a box of wooden tacks and the velcro snaps.

2. It was long enough I think for any door to fit into. However as I was going to use this for the window it really did not matter. I did notice thought that there’s a long gap at the bottom kinda like as long as the palm of your hand which would have been nice if shorter or locks with magnets too if you’re using for your door.

3. An english instruction pamphlet comes with it. Fairly easy to follow with the diagram telling you where to put the velcro. I didn’t use the tacks because I was putting the stuff up on concrete.

4. That done, I placed it on the window. Fairly easy, the velcro sticks really well.

5. The problem is there’s not enough velcro. I used it for the window so I used only half and still I needed some more.

6. The wind blows it open. So the bugs can really come flying in. Even with the magnet together the gap opens when there’s a breeze.

7. So I taped the middle part of it to close it up. Remember I don’t need to walk in and out ( which I think will present more of a problem since that’s the window ha ha) but I can just imagine when somebody walks in when its put on the door which is what it’s rally for yeah I know that some of the magnets might not align properly.

8. The tape did not work silly me so I had to sew it in the middle with a black thread. So hey if you just need it to be kind of like a curtain to lift open then you can do this too but that’s just kind of silly.

9. After a day one of the magnets fell off for no reason at all. It just fell. Must be the wind.

10. So I was watching a fly who couldn’t go through the magnet and I was like HAH! Just you try! He went away. I was still a bit smug when I saw a tiny flying insect I don’t know what that is , maybe a kind of plant insect because there are vines growing outside the window. I live next to a forest lol.

I was like, here’s another loser. I was staring at it as it tries to penetrate the mesh feelin as I said all confident that it cannot go inside. It made a little turn and then bham it got in. Ha ha ha. It turns out I’m the loser. Just to be fair though that was a really tiny insect, you might not have it near your home plus it doesn’t look like it bites anyway.

Anyhow, I still saved money because the mesh is what just around $6.00. Having the window screened would cost me around $20-30.  Took a bit of time sewing up and taping the edges though.

I think it would work if they had more magnets to hold the center part and more velcro strips but I guess that would hike the price up.

This year not being that lucky, I was at least lucky enough to win a Wahmaholic Blog Header makeover from Kaye of  Wahmaholic Blog Designs  and  Arni from All Things Goddess. 

So look up if you haven’t. See how cute that is. So easy to deal with Kaye, it’s like she reads my mind. I just told her a few of what I wanted and she comes up with that (again above)  Exactly what I wanted although don’t look at the rest of the blog lol. I just won the header. I’ve just finished sorting out the sidebars today and it’s still a bit cluttered. I’m still figuring out how to work it.  I’ll save up for Kaye’s extras someday to get some more of that creativity. I did get some freebies off her blog. Check them out very cute too.

You might be lucky too. Visit All things Goddess and join her ongoing brush guard giveaway. You’d like her site, it’s fresh, clean very Goddess like. She takes great photographs too. She did leave blogging for a while as I read it but now she’s back for good.

So again thanks guys!! Loving my new header.

As big err big boned that I am, it’s hard to find clothes for summer  that would actually look good on me. My closet is loaded with tank tops and sleeveless casual tops  that I end up only wearing at home. It’s fabulous that I got to try an outfit from the Fresh Produce Clothing’s catalogue.

 I got this, cool right? I can use for just a day stroll at the mall with the little girl or a bit of coffee addiction hangout with some friends.  It took me some time to go through the women’s cardigans , I ended up with the cardigan above because it looked fun, relaxing, carefree and chic to wear. Perfect to hide my model sculpted arms lol. It’s called the Standing ovation cardigan. So I’m hoping I do get one when I wear it on a girl’s night out too. It’s not too thick, the material is soft and the length is about right. I got a medium one. Can’t wait to wear it.

A bit of fun fact, you’ll be excited to know that this brand, Fresh Produce is co-founded and run by a mom entrepreneur Mary Ellen Veron and is primarily USA made.  So if you’re looking for a new dress, a casual top or carefree wear then check out Fresh Produce Clothing.
