I Love New York Travel

Isn’t this a pretty room? It’s from a lovely bed and breakfast we visited in Geneva, NY. The decor was stunning there. It inspired me to take a good hard look around my house and see how my house needs attention. After we hurriedly moved back into the house after gutting the downstairs, I never got back on my feet. The house has been one continuous pile of clutter and disarray since we moved back in. *sigh* It used to be so orderly. But with my full-time hours and home-schooling the kids, cleaning out the house is an impossible task right now. It’s rather frustrating.

But I am starting to plan on cleaning it all up. That’s a start. I’m also very inspired by the wonderful decor accessories and lovely bedroom furniture at CSN Stores. I purchased several items from them last month, and we have been delighted with the experience. They are my new favorite online store! :D

CSN Stores has a tremendously large inventory, and many of the their items are free shipping. I have ordered (so far!) a spice shelf, a foot rest, headphones, several stacking shelf units, a hand vacuum cleaner (my favorite appliance!!) and more. The inventory is VERY impressive. Definitely check them out if you need anything.

They also have scads of decor stuff for the home. I think CSN Stores will be getting a LOT of my business this year….

I love love love my iPhone. It has everything! Cell phone, calendar, calculator, email, browser, Twitter… I adore the apps. You an find apps for anything, for searching accounting finance jobs online to scanning barcodes for comparison shopping, etc. I even downloaded a Guitar app that has a fret board that you can strum like a real guitar! LOL

The iPhone also has a camera and webcam. The webcam is OK. The camera is poor. Oh, it’s very convenient, just like everything else is on the iPhone. But the images are meh. Here are two photos I took. The first photo has the HDR high-definition setting off, with no flash.

The second one is on the HDR, the high-def setting. No flash.

The color is deeper, but the clarity is not much of an improvement. The HDR setting also has a longer processing time, taking a few seconds to process and store.

Anyway, I like my iPhone. But for taking nice pictures, I see that I should reach for my camera.

Ooooo isn’t she so cute?!

That’s my baby, Livvy. It was a cold day; I had retreated upstairs to the bedroom to work on the computer. She followed me, and snuggled up next to me. She loves my bathrobe (it’s very plush).

Photo was taken with my iphone. I LOVE that thing. It can do anything. I never thought I would love a gadget so much, lol. I take it with me everywhere, it’s my constant source for everything: phone, news, weather, Twitter, email, recipes, shopping list, voice recorder…. and of course, a great camera to take photos of my baby. :D
