Every responsible homeowner would like to improve, in one way or another, a certain portion or even whole sections in their homes. It is for this reason that a home improvement project would be a welcome and exciting endeavor for a homeowner and his household. Improvement may be in terms of various aspects like aesthetics or how a home or section of the home would appear on the outside. Improvement may also be in terms of efficiency in the way energy is consumed, which translates to higher costs if this remains un-optimized.

Home Improvements and How They Can Influence Your Home Value
A home is definitely a solid investment and one of the most significant that any individual or family can make. Just like any investments, wise and careful planning are the most vital keys in order to get the most from your investment. When it comes to houses, the current level of your home value will gauge and give you an indication as to where you are right now in this particular investment.
Whether you plan on selling the home at a pre-determined point in the future, or content in living out and getting the most out of your home until such time that you have enough resources to get a bigger and much better home, increasing its intrinsic value through home improvements would be a wise move. These include updating certain sections or areas of the home through kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, addition of new rooms, improving your landscape and a whole lot more.

The tight economy and the declining trend in the real estate industry couple with the rash of foreclosures that swept across the nation have caused a dramatic decrease in home prices affecting several states and cities. Homeowners from Massachusetts to Alaska basically just want to maintain a high and profitable resale value for their homes, even if they do not have an immediate plan of flipping houses.

Considerations for Choosing a Contractor for Your Home Improvement Project
Success can be a relative term and could signify both tangible and intangible elements in life, but for most people, success is equated to having tangible properties like fabulous homes and established businesses. For successful business people and professionals in Massachusetts, rewarding one's self with an expansion or a renovation on their beloved abode is just fitting for all the hardships and determination they exerted to get to where they are right now. If you are part of this group of people and is planning on a home improvement project, then you should take more research and consideration in choosing the right contractor to do the job for you. Making a critical mistake in this area can let you lose all the hard work that you have invested in that contributed to your success.

ENRICH OURSELVES, ENRICH THE PLANET EARTH
By embracing the principles and beliefs of Green Legion you not only live your desired lifestyle but you also get the benefit of earning from it too! "Your advocacy now becomes your business and your business your advocacy".
The Green Legion program is participated widely by environmental enthusiasts blessed with entrepreneurial skills. In their quest for greater awareness of environmental issues and concerns, the Legionaries, the proponents of the said program, have started a movement of housewives, office workers, family of OFW’s, and likeminded citizens, who not only help maintain a healthy ecological balance but also create a vibrant and sustainable economic activity, one that can create livelihood and help provide a better quality of living for themselves and the people.
OUR GREEN PRODUCTS
Our products are considered a 21st century and world-class revolutionary cleaning solution.
The flagship product, “All-In-One Solution”, is an all natural plant extract concentrate which exhibits powerful bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal action; and as such it is ideal for disinfecting and eliminating odor in places where human and animal activities are very common. It has been rapidly and widely patronized for household, institutional, commercial, industrial and agricultural application.
I would like to share with you some of a few tips on how this amazing “All in One Solution” works:
- We ran out of water for 3 consecutive days, I put one half teaspoon to 5 gallons of tap water, and we had an instant alkaline water, so need for us to order from the water station. Imagine the big savings!
- We sprayed this in the comfort room inside the bowl, so even without flushing the toilet for several hours, there is no bad odor.
- I got sore in my mouth, I put 2 drops in a glass of water, I gargle it, then the sore was gone the other day
- I put 2 drops in “tabo” and I had instant feminine wash.
- I can’t remove the soy sauce that was poured in my shirt even when I washed it with ordinary detergent, so I sprayed this “All in One Solution”. In a matter of seconds, I wash it with water, the trace of soy sauce was gone. This will easily remove the blood stains from the menstruation as well.
- I diluted it with water and sprayed it all over the house specially my bedroom, I had a good night sleep. My sneezing in the morning is gone.
- We use this in cleaning the tiles and surfaces, and we notice that insects are slowly disappearing, not to mention that the tiles became whiter and shiny.
There are so many testimonials about this product, you just have to use this and find out for yourself.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF USING OUR ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION PRODUCT :
Our flagship product is 100% biodegradable. It does not contain harmful chemicals. An environment friendly solution that is harmless to humans, animals, plants, marine life and soil. It is non-flammable and contains no combustible materials.
ECONOMICAL BENEFITS OF USING “ALL IN ONE SOLUTION”:
A single product that fulfills multiple needs, giving you cost savings in both manpower (product preparation and storage) and inventory (single product vs. multiple products).
- A cost effective single product that is delivered in highly concentrated form that can be diluted in different ratio for each application or usage, allowing you to stretch your budget further. One liter can treat an area of 400-500 sq. meters. One liter is all you need to keep your livestock backyard piggery (3-7 heads) clean and odor free.
- An organic solution that eliminates foul odor of livestock manure and left over food or biodegradable waste, and convert it into soil enhancer or conditioner that can improve crop production in terms of yield quality.
- Our product requires no complex or expensive installation. Simple and existing equipments such as overhead sprayer, portable sprayer, or any other equipment that is use for dispersal can optimize the effectiveness.

Gardening and Mother’s Day
I remember those times when I was still studying in High School when my mother started installing pieces of driftwood in our front lawn. She was planning to put up an orchid and flower garden that time and had prepared quite a considerable number of small pots where the orchids would grow. On top of that, she also had a few bonsai pieces strewn here and there and the garden was quite a relaxing thing to behold.

Now that we’ve started with our urban farm, me and my wife assigned ourselves on separate farm duties – I’ll take care of the animals and she’ll take care of the vegetable and herb garden. On top of my free-range chickens, we were also raising rabbits, game chickens, and Red Tilapia in drums. My wife, on the other hand, had quite a few successes with her vegetable garden and already harvested bokchoy, Chinese cabbage, okra and cassava. I’ll describe all of these produce on my next posts.
Despite all that, I noticed that we lacked some things – flowers and other ornamental plants just like what mom used to nurture. That would be the next project as we had to clear another area in our urban farm specifically for such plants.

Come to think of it, Mother’s day is fast approaching and the best time to prepare for a gift to mothers would be several days or weeks ahead of time to avoid rushes and poor choices. I would recommend a Mothers Day plant like an orchid or a beautiful bouquet of flowers. If she has a green thumb just like my mom, give her an amazing bonsai gift made from gardenia or azalea.
Another great Mothers day plant gift suggestion would be sets of herbal plants like rosemary, bay leaf and other mint or herbal plants. Your mom would find such gifts excellent and start her on a new project to pursue.

Whatever gift you would give your moms this coming Mother’s Day celebrations would be a welcome thing for her – particularly if the gift was given with an abundance of love.
