Hi Bubbling Readers,
Hope your week is going great!
Prayed for rain and its been raining in Missouri last weekend and this week. Actually seeing green grass is such a sight from the brown grass that was sun parched during this summer.
My hubby and I have really been going through our home and making a list of projects that we want to do to spice up the charm of our home. An example of my dream front door is in the style below. Notice the door is very Celtic inspired, you can see more examples of exquisite craftsmanship. This design below really gives me ideas about what I want for the door on my porch.
Todd Doors in Oak Majestic
I am really looking into how to pick the right door so I have been doing some research. This Old House has an article on its website, “How to Pick a Front Door,” by Dan Vandevort. Entry doors need to be strong enough to withstand the weather. Doors that are not able to take the four seasons will have to be replaced more often, so it is so good to get the best the first time around.
Picking a storm door
My hubby and I had a storm door installed last October because we have two doggies. It is good to have that buffer of a storm door before they run outside. The glass is quite long on the door because we want our beagle to be able to look out of it. He loves to look at birds and squirrels. The doggies’ view is important so that was one of the design qualities that we wanted. Remember that you have to take the whole family into the design considerations so please take your time when you are making plans. These little guys have to be part of the design too.
Things to consider when picking out an entry door or storm door
1. The door needs to strong and able to withstand the weather. Meaning rain, sun, snow, the elements and still look just as good when you bought it.
2.Consider the whole family when making design decisions. We could not go only by a pretty design we really had to take into consideration how would the doors be used.
3. Get two or three estimates when getting a door installed and make the best decision on your budget and your plan.
There are a lot of things to consider; but when you have a plan your home projects will go smoother.

I had the privilege of being asked by Firmoo to receive a free pair of glasses of my choice from its website. I am giving my honest opinion in this review. You ask, “What is Firmoo?” Firmoo.com is an online optical store that has incredible prices that knocks other eyeglass chains out the park.
“Vision and Fashion the Frugal way.”
I have paid hundreds of dollars, even with my insurance plans. I quite skeptical of the quality; but I said to myself, “why not give it try.” I checked out the website and the selection of frames were very attractive and stylish. On the website you can get either prescription or non-prescription glasses or sunglasses. I decided to get a pair of single vision prescription glasses. I gave them my eyeglass prescription; but I did not give them my PD number. This number is very important because it is measurement of my pupil distance. You can measure your own pupil distance or get that number from your eye doctor. My hubby and I measured ourselves the distance of my pupils, it was easy. I emailed in my measurements and I waited the glasses in the mail. I was not sure how long it would take. I was thinking maybe a couple of weeks because that is typically how long it has taken in the past with other glasses that I had ordered.
However, the eyeglasses arrived in the mail three days later. This is what I received in the package. The eyeglasses, the hard case and soft case, replace nose guards, polishing cloth, screws and a tightener.
I wanted to try on the glasses as soon as I knew that it was my package from Firmoo. The frames that I chose have a cool detail on the sides. They are very comfortable and fit really well. I have never purchased glasses online before. I am a believer that getting glasses without the help of your eye doctor really works. All you really need is your prescription information provided by your doctor.
When you go to Firmoo.com, you can use the try-on feature to see how the glasses will look on your face. You can upload your own photo to find a frame that looks good on your face. The prices are reasonable; but also stylish and very on trend. Every new customer can get a free pair of glasses and all that you have to pay for is the shipping. It’s pretty amazing!
I am so happy with my complimentary pair that I will be back for another choice. Check out the site because you get a Firmoo free pair if you are a first time customer, all you have to pay for is the shipping.
Thank you Firmoo.com for the opportunity, the eyeglasses are awesome.
