With so many apps available I go nuts when there is a really good free one that will actually be so very useful almost every day. My new favorite is The Home Depot app. A cousin of mine alerted me on this one, he knows how often I renovate and make numerous trips to home depot and so does he.
A must have for anyone and especially DIYs, this app has everything from A-Z. Numerous project videos so you can see how to, quick tips and Product demos. You can select the store of your choice and view products in stock with price lists. There is a handy toolbox with cool measuring devices and conversion charts, calculators etc. eFlyers and help buttons.
The most fun thing of all is the bar code scanner, my husband made a trip to Home Depot just to try that out. He was like a kid in the candy store, it was a funny site to see. No more notes on pieces drywall or 2x4s you can simply write your list on the same app.
Sometimes I curse at how fast technology is going because I have to keep up but then you get something cool like a helpful app and it gets exciting even for me.
Pass a great app to a friend and share the feeling. Thanks Paul :)

Setting the table for Mothers Day
Nothing says I love you more to a mom then taking the time to prepare a special meal with a place setting you have done yourself just for her. It can be as simple as a boiled egg and toast, a muffin or a bowl of cereal. The point is you did just for her. Here are some ideas to inspire you to pull this look together:
1 Mix and match plates, glasses, china and cutlery using your own flare depending on what you will be serving. Keep things simple if you have colourful accessories a plain tablecloth will work best. If the accesories are all one colour you can use a colourful tablecloth
2 Add some fresh flowers or even just a single bud,this will make the table inviting,any kind will do. If you don't have a vase use a glass or anything that will hold the flowers.
3 You can add a place setting card that you make yourself or small gift on the plate.Use your imagination and make it yours.
4 Make her chair special and stand out from the rest by wrapping it in a simple white tablecloth, I have a picture shown. I draped it over the chair and tied it in the back, it took 30 seconds and voila.
For all mothers in the world Happy Mothers Day!
