Ibis flies in with budget carbon wheel option & wide 26″ rims

Yep, you read that right…all-new, modernly wide 26″ alloy rims. WHich will appeal to some, but we’ll start with the arguably more appealing new $1,299 Ibis Logo wheelset and their carbon rims. Built with the same carbon fiber rims as their higher end 742 (27.5″) and 942 (29er) wheels, but with Ibis brand hubs instead […]

TIPS TO HELP YOU DETOXIFY AND LOSE WEIGHT

Old Tracks, New Tricks: Book Activities

Old Tracks, New Tricks, by Jessica Petersen is a new book recently published about old train tracks who learn how to do new tricks. Here is a counting printable and more activities to go with the book.

Old Tracks, New Tricks: Book Activity

About the Book: Old Tracks, New Tricks

In the story, Old Tracks, New Tricks, children will get new ideas for ways to use train tracks. You can add other materials to them, such as blocks or Legos. You can even decorate the wooden pieces like a craft activity. Since the set of train tracks in my classroom belong to my school, I would only let kids decorate any broken track pieces that we would otherwise throw away.

Below, I’ve provided links to other blogs with some great ideas for using this book as inspiration with children. I have also created a set of counting mats to go with the book.

How to Use the Track Tricks Counting Mats

To use these Track Trick counting mats, kids will use the wooden train tracks to duplicate the design they see in the picture. The train tracks can be laid out on the floor (they don’t have to be stacked standing up). After kids have copied the track trick, they will count the train track pieces to see how many are in the design.

There are mats for each number 1-10.

Download the Track Tricks Counting Printable

Note: This is a FREE printable. Just click to download.

3 Factors to Consider When Choosing Window Treatments

There are many factors to consider when choosing which type of window treatment you’d like to get for your home. Here are three of them:

Image Source: Flickr

Style
Unlike many years ago, window coverings are available in a variety of different styles. Your choices include wood blinds, cellular shades, woven wood shades, pleated shades, shutters and draperies. While many people will choose the same wood blind or shade for every room in their house, that isn’t always the best idea.
A better idea is to consider what each room is being used for and then choose your window coverings based on that.
For example, bathrooms and bedrooms require more privacy then let’s say your kitchen. For those rooms you should look for coverings that room-darkening features. Not only will that help to block the sun on those summer mornings when you want to sleep in but the sun rises at 6 AM, but it will also block anyone from seeing into your room. Another benefit is that in the summer the room-darkening shades will block out the heat and the winter they will block out the cold. Source: SheBudgets

Budget
Are you outfitting just one window or the entire house? You may consider spending more on certain windows and scaling back on others. Window treatments are priced by size, so expect larger treatments to cost more. Custom sizes and specialty fabrics, patterns, and features also add to the cost. Source: GoodHousekeeping

Window’s Exposure
Windows that are facing towards the east or south can produce large amounts of heat and sunlight. This can cause furniture, carpeting and other areas of the home to fade if some level of sun blockage is not used. Source: AngiesList

Still haven’t decided? Contact us and we’ll be more than happy to help you out!

4 Types of Showerheads

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Your overall showering experience is affected by many factors. One of these is the type of showerhead you’re using. Check out four common showerhead types below:

Standard Wall-Mount Showerhead
The most economical option, standard wall-mount showerheads can be adjusted slightly by moving the shower neck. Models that offer varying spray types fit the needs of most users. Source: BHG

Hand-Held Showerhead
A hand-held showerhead is connected to a long hose and it sit in a cradle when it is not in your hand. Handheld showerheads can be used as a fixed shower head but when taken off the cradle they can be used for much more, like bathing pets, washing children, and even for cleaning the tub.
Hand-held showerheads are available in many different lengths of hose but to meet ADA compliance they must be at least 84” long. The longer the hose the more convenient but it could get in the way of the tub. Hoses between 60” and 72” work well for the average home. Source: Plumbing.About

Ceiling-Mount Showerhead
The ceiling-mount or top-mount showerhead is installed on the ceiling. The spray of this type of showerhead is reminiscent of rain, as water comes from directly overhead. Ceiling-mount showerheads come in many shapes and sizes. Some models can also be mounted flush to the ceiling, which is great for bathrooms with low ceiling heights. Source: Property24

Aerating Showerhead
By mixing air with water, these showerheads form a misty spray to make the flow feel more substantial. Laminar-flow showerheads form individual streams of water instead. On the models we tested, aeration cooled the water from 5 to 15 degrees F on its way from the showerhead to where it would hit your back. Laminar-flow showerheads may cost a little more, but they save energy by maintaining the water temperature better. And they don’t create as much steam and moisture, a plus especially if you live in a humid region. Source: ConsumerReports
