TGIF! What do you get when you add about one hundred home plans, a dozen sound effects and a game of Google? Sirit? That’s this week’s Friday Trio!
“A house is not a home…” One of my guilty pleasures is browsing through books of house plans. Now I can do that online with Global House Plans. My imagination jumps into hyperdrive when I pick out homes that I think will suit me and my future family. Libre naman mangarap diba? 😉 I’ve discovered I like homes that are mostly French in design. Go figure! This is the home I have in my head now.
Ease the stress of a deadline with the sound of a waterfall. iSerenity offers a variety of sounds that you can listen to right from your browser. Just choose a sound, leave that browser open and then work. Does the song of a bubbling brook relax you? They have it. What about the tick-tock of a clock? They have it too. (That one stresses me out though.) My favorite in their selection is the sound of wind chimes. When I listen to this, I’m transported back to the summer days of my childhood. I’d be in my grandparents’ home with my cousins, lying down on a banig, getting ready for an afternoon nap. A very relaxing and comforting memory.
Is there a letter E? Warning: Guess-the-Google is an addictive game! When you search for an image, you normally just type in the keyword first then get the images right? It’s the other way around with this game. Images are shown and you have to guess what keyword would have returned those images. This is fun! So… game?
Enjoy the links! Have a great weekend!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
