OMG  The Marvel Franchise is one of my favorite.  Even though Loki is a bad guy I love him.  He is funny and always is up to something. I would love to know more about his back story and his life I am so excited that we get to see a little more about him. His past his future I would love to know it all about him.

4 Dazzling Features That Can Make Your Home Look More Expensive

tabbyspantry

Making your home look more expensive can be useful if you are thinking about selling in the near future. As well as attracting more offers for your home, it can also ensure that these offers far exceed what you expected the property to sell for. It can also be a way to ensure that any guests who visit your home go green with envy. Here are some of the options worth exploring. 

 

 

Lighting Choices

 

You could start by thinking about making changes to your lighting. Lighting and the fixtures that you have in your home can have a huge impact on the aesthetic. Certain lighting such as lamps will make your home look more cramped due to the shadow. Other lighting such as sunken spotlights will ensure that your home has a contemporary feel, perfect for a modern buyer. If you want to ensure that your home looks more valuable, you might also want to explore something like Murano glass chandeliers. This eye-catching feature is guaranteed to impress any buyer. 

 

Solar Panels 

 

When you’re thinking about making your home look more valuable, you need to consider what buyers want from a home they are thinking about purchasing. A lot of buyers are looking for a home that is eco-friendly. If you add solar panels to your home, then it’s immediately going to send the right first impression. The best part is that solar panels will pay for themselves in energy savings after just a couple of years. So, this is something to consider if you aren’t planning to sell immediately but do have your eye on a future sale at some point. It’s an option to explore if you haven’t found you’re forever home just yet. 

 

Breakfast Island 

 

Are you thinking about making changes to your kitchen? Kitchen changes are useful because they can alter the real value of your home. You might find that it adds up to 25% onto the asking value. If you have a large enough space in your kitchen, our recommendation would be to think about adding a breakfast island. The right breakfast island is going to be a feature guaranteed to impress any buyer. They don’t have to cost a fortune either, particularly if you make sure that you choose the right contractor. 

 

Handles And Smaller Fixtures

 

If you don’t have a lot of money to make big changes to your home, then think about altering the handles on the doors of your property. Believe it or not, this can have a massive impact on the aesthetic of a room. It’s something that the eye line is immediately drawn to. By changing the handles on doors, you can make any home look far more modern and contemporary. It’s perfect if you own an older property. 

 

We hope this helps you understand some of the best ways that you can guarantee your home looks far more expensive. If you take the right steps here, then you’ll be astounded by the offers you receive on your home.

Why you have to see Disney Soul

tabbyspantry

We got the digital download free in exchange for an honest review all opinions are our own.

Disney’s Pixar always has a way of knocking their movies out of the park.  Each one has it’s own unique story that really pulls you in.  Disney Soul was a movie about Joe who finally got his big break in life just for his life to be cut short before he is going on stage.

He has been teaching music for year when he finally gets the chance to be on stage and then bam, he finds himself in the afterlife.  While he is trying to get back to his body he meets a new soul who doesn’t want to go to earth.  They try and help each other out then bam everything goes sideways.

This movie was fantastic and it keep getting better and better.  This is a movie the whole family is going to LOVE. Pixar always has a way of creating movie that are not only entertaining , but also make you think humm I wonder if that is how it is.

About “Soul”

Jamie Foxx leads an all-star cast in this hilarious, heart-filled adventure. Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” introduces Joe, who lands the gig of his life at the best jazz club in town. But one misstep lands Joe in a fantastical place: The Great Before. There, he teams up with soul 22 (Tina Fey), and together they find the answers to some of life’s biggest questions.

 

What You Can Do To Recover As a Parent

tabbyspantry

Being a parent is a full-time job and therefore you should always try and allow yourself time to recover if needs be especially after a long day or maybe a vacation where it can be more active and in some cases more stressful. Giving yourself time to recover while parenting is crucial, just because you are just spending time with your family does not mean it will not be tiring and straining on your body and mind.

 

If you are someone that feels like they need some recovery time and are not sure how you can do it then hopefully, these tips will give you an idea of what you can do to recover from raising a family or having family time.

 

 

Rest when you can

 

The best thing you can do when recovering is to just take some time to yourself where you can and rest. This will allow you to recover without anything too strenuous and do something for yourself this will not only help physical recovery but mentally as well, as you will be able to destress and do something you enjoy for yourself. Obviously, as a parent, it isn’t always easy to get time to yourself but try to where you can with the help of your parents or family around you. It doesn’t have to be a large amount of time it all comes down to how much time you think you might need and what time you can spare, the main thing is to feel revitalised and feel you have recovered adequate to where you are not in pain or aching from previous activities.

 

Get some professional help

 

If you need to recover maybe you have started getting a bad back or sore muscles then getting some help from a professional can help to alleviate these issues before they get worse or more aggravated. Seeing someone like a chiropractor or a masseuse can help with any aches or pains you may have got and allow you to recover quickly so you do not miss out on any fun or activities with your family. Professionals can also help to give you plans that you can do at home which means you do not have to see them all the time and fit your recovery in around your family, you may also benefit from seeing your doctor if you are unsure what may be wrong with you so that they can diagnose and refer you where they can to make sure you get the help you need and the right help for the issue you have.

 

If you are someone who is a parent and has a family then you may need some help understanding how you can recover after a busy day or week whether that be physically or mentally. Hopefully, the tips above will allow you to understand how and allow you to recover and rejuvenate yourself so you can continue being a super parent to your family.

Book Three in The Three Paws Series

 

NEW CHILDREN’S BOOK TACKLES TOUGH TOPIC OF LOSING A GRANDPARENT, PET OR OTHER LOVED ONE AND CELEBRATING LIFE WHILE WE HAVE THE CHANCE

 

Children’s book author Karen Struck loves writing stories that make kids smile, but also learn valuable lessons. In her latest release in the Three Paws series, Three Paws and the Secret Cave [Page Publishing, Spring 2021, 978-1662407499] she isn’t shying away from a tough yet valuable lesson everyone encounters at some point: losing a loved one.


Three Paws and the Secret Cave jumps right back into the lives of Boots, the three-legged Grizzly bear and his wild group of friends as they go on adventures in the Alaskan wilderness. Boots and his friends have had many great times together over the years, but now are faced with an inevitable part of life. Cappy, the elderly mountain goat, is nearing the end of his physical journey on earth. His granddaughter, Scarlet, is very close to him. But when he leaves the goat herd, without an explanation, Scarlet is frantic to uncover the mystery behind his disappearance. Young Scarlet leads her wilderness friends in a celebration of life as she and her friends honor her beloved grandfather. Join Scarlet, Boots, Chinook, Sockeye, Pepe, Cyrus and Blizzard as they trek along the rugged mountaintop in search of Cappy and the secret cave.

 

Around the launch of Three Paws and the Secret Cave, Struck is available for interviews, Q&A’s, and byline articles and can discuss topics such as:

∙ The importance of celebrating each new day as a gift, and how to communicate that to children

∙ What it means to celebrate one’s life while they are still alive, and what it means to celebrate after someone’s passing

∙ Tips for when children are grieving a pet. What is the “Rainbow Bridge?”

∙ Some ways we can remember our loved ones (animals included) after they have departed

∙ How we can offer support to someone who is grieving

 

“As a registered nurse, I have had the opportunity to work in a nursing home as well as hospitals in oncology, adult and pediatric intensive care units. I have dealt with transitioning from life to death on multiple occasions and all ages,” Struck says. “ I hope The Secret Cave helps little ones understand that the death experience is a tough but natural part of the human experience. And, by understanding that, it can inspire us to live more fully, each and every day while we can, celebrating our lives and the lives of others along the way.”

KAREN STRUCK discovered the joy of children’s literature as she read to her daughter each night. She was inspired by the Harry Potter book series, and decided to take writing courses through the Institute of Children’s Literature. 

Karen is also a registered nurse and works in the aesthetic industry, performing laser treatments combined with injectables for skin rejuvenation. She works with her husband, Steve, a plastic surgeon in Atherton, California. Residing in Los Gatos, California, Karen has a daughter named Rachel and two stepchildren, Danni and Evan Struck.

Connect with Karen on Instagram  and Facebook, and at www.karenstruckauthor.com.

Three Paws and the Secret Cave is available through Amazon and other major booksellers.
