pet-bed-dolce-vite-therabed-smallDoesn’t your pet deserve to be warm in the cooler months? Of course they do, after all they feel the cold every bit as much as we do.

We live in Canberra where it gets very cold in winter, in fact minus temperatures are common, and Paula’s two dogs are lucky enough to have an owner who really looks after their welfare.

Bronnie is especially prone to feeling the cold as she doesn’t have a lot of fur, Lucy on the other hand has plenty of fur, but even she feels the benefit of having a heated pet bed.

Fortunately heated beds are available in all sizes, so it doesn’t matter what size dog you have there is a heated bed to suit.

There are also heated beds for cats, so your cat or kitten can also be kept comfy and warm in the winter months.

Cats like nothing better than a full tummy and curling up in a nice warm spot to sleep.

And if you like to take your dog with you when you are travelling around, there are heated pet beds that fit nicely into the back of your SUV.

The Dolce Vita  range of heated pet beds is just one of the practical and decorative styles available.

beds-airbedWe recently went interstate to stay with some friends and usually we end up sleeping on an inflatable air bed that generally means an uncomfortable nights sleep.

However, this time we were pleasantly surprised as they had purchased an adjustable incline inflatable bed. This has to be the air bed of all air beds.

The queen sized air bed they had brought, is adjustable so we where able to easily elevate our head and shoulders to a height that allowed us watch TV, read and even sleep more comfortably.

And is was so easy to use because the backrest is elevated by an inflatable chamber that inflates with the simple turn of a dial. And my friend was saying that because there is an integrated electric air pump which plugs into AC, the bed inflates and deflates in four minutes. No huffing and puffing to blow up this bed.

I generally find that air beds are awkward to use because they only rise a few inches off the floor, but this bed was really easy to get in and out of because it inflates to the standard bed height of 22″.

it was way more comfortable and stable than typical inflatable beds that shake back and forth, because this bed has flex coil construction to provide a movement-free rest platform. And it supports up to 450 lbs when it is fully-inflated.

Another thing I found was that the bedding didn’t slip off, as often happens with air beds that have a slick finish, this one has a soft cotton-feel flocked top that  that prevents that from happening.

I am certainly considering buying one for when friends and relatives come to visit as this inflatable air bed can be easily stored in the bag provided when it is not in use, and anyone using it is assured of a good nights rest.
Head And Leg Elevating Bed.

While I was researching the adjustable air bed I came across the head and leg elevating bed.

This air bed not only allows you to elevate head and shoulders but it has a separate inflatable chamber that allows you to raise your legs. 

There is a remote included that lets you easily control just how heigh you want to raise both your head and your legs.

This bed is a little more expensive than the head and shoulder adjusting bed, but I think it is well worth the extra for the convenience of being able to raise the legs as well.

bed-in-a-bag-pink-camouflageIf you’ve found this page you are no doubt  aware  of  what a bed in a bag is, and the benefits it brings to creating a coordinated look to your bedroom.

The best twin bed in a bag sets  available are varied in style and color and there is so much choice you will have no trouble in finding a set to update any of the bedrooms in your home.

If you don’t know what a bed in a bag is or haven’t come across this concept in the past, then continue reading to see why this is one of the best ideas ever to make it’s way into the bedding product market.

What is a twin bed in a bag?

Now I don’t have the history behind the bed in a bag concept only to say that whoever thought of it, as far as I am concerned is brilliant.

The concept basically involves taking the entire bedding you would need for a particular bed and stuffing into a bag. This means that in a bag you could get the fitted sheet , flat sheet, comforter, pillow slip, bedskirt, cushions and decorative pillows. Of course, the contents of the bed in the bag will differ from bag to bag but basically you get enough bedding to completely outfit your bed in the one theme.

The Benefits of a Bed in the Bag

So just why is a bed in a bag such a good idea?

  • The cost is less than you would pay if you purchased the items separately.
  • The bedding is already coordinated for you by professionals who know what looks good. Everything matches so there is no need to even think about whether your sheets will match the comforter set.
  • You save time shopping for each separate item as it comes all in the one bag.
  • You know up front how much it will cost for the complete set of bedding.

Here are some more of the best twin bed in a bag sets.

stargate-zat-gunI love this! We just came back from a Stargate Convention in Vancouver. They were selling the usual t-shirts, posters, prints, dvd’s etc but there was no sign of a Stargate SG1 Zat Gun. Probably just as well, as I would have bought one on the spot.

If you haven’t been to a convention yet, then it is well worth it. We aren’t crazy Stargate fans (well actually we are) and we love the show and thought it would be a great fun to attend. You get to meet many of the stars of the show, get their autographs and even have your photo taken with them if you want to pay a bit extra – which we did. Hey this is may well be a once in a lifetime event for us.

We also went on a tour of the set of both Stargate Sg1 and Stargate Atlantis at Bridge Studios. That would have to have been the highlight of the convention. Martin Gero who is one of the producers/writers took us around the set and we got to have our photo taken in front of the Stargate Sg1 Iris with two of the minor stars of the show.

It was lots of fun and well worth attending.

But back to the Zat Gun. Being an avid Stargate fan I know what I will be asking for for Christmas this year.

Just imagine having your own  Stargate SG1 Zat Gun Kit to put together and personalise to how you would like it.

This kit builds the ZAT gun in the closed position and includes two solid resin parts and comes complete in a photo box with instructions.

Prop kits shown are 1:1 scale highly detailed replicas of actual props used in the films or shows. Many are casts of actual screen-used prop weapons. Others are based on the actual weapons used by the prop makers with the proper modifications. All kits are cast in heavy solid white durable resin and come in full color boxes picturing the finished prop. Instructions and any hardware or labels required are also included.

A little kit building experience is helpful for assembling and finishing the prop, but not necessary. One thing to remember is that although the finished zat gun looks very authentic, these are only resin prop guns and cannot be made to fire anything.

Trust me,  a Zat Gun is an absolute must have for fans and collectors. So if you have a Stargate SG1 fan in your household they will love you for life if you get them a Zat gun to add to their collection.

I can’t think of anything much better than arriving at a Stargate Convention dressed up as a Jaffa Warrior complete with Zat Gun.

posters-mickey-mouseWe went to Disney World in 2007 and had an absolute ball. There are a number of parks and each is distinctive in the attractions available, but whatever it is that you like there is something to make everyones time at the theme park memorable. 

There are shuttle buses that run between the parks but each park is so large with so much to do that it generally pays to devote at least one full day to each.

If like us, you are keen on roller coasters and rides that are fast and furious, you can’t go past Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Railroad in the Magic Kingdom or Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom. Or go on safari where wild animals roam freely. 

There is plenty for kids of all ages and at the end of each day, take in the spectaular fireworks shows.

For an absolutely magical time buy discounted Disney World Tickets  and treat the family to a fantastic  vacation at Disney World.
