Wind Down At Walnut Park in Webster
September 22, 2016 by
If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing day in the park, your search is over. Walnut Park is tucked away in the beautiful residential area of Webster. The park contains two playgrounds, a jogging track, a gazebo, and a small pavilion area with a few picnic tables. Among all of these amenities, locals tend to rave about the jogging track the most. This track is a soft asphalt material that differs from the ones you’ll find in any other park. Plus, there are many trees along the path so it provides plenty of shade for those warm summer days.
This is a small and quaint park, so there aren’t any restrooms or water fountains on-site. But as a perk, the park is rarely crowded! If you’re looking for a quiet day in a nice little neighborhood, this is the place to be.
Walnut Park is open daily from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m.

How to Make Any Space Feel Like Home
September 15, 2016 by
Making your space feel like a home can be a little overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be difficult. All you need to do is add your own personality to your space and make it feel more cozy. Follow these tips to make your space feel more comfortable and homey.
- Decorate your space with people and places that you love and with items that have meaning to you. Use artwork that features places or maps of places that have a special meaning to you and your family.
- A simple positive message can have a way of making you feel good and really bring up your mood. Use art that features a quote or phrase and hang it somewhere where you will be sure to see it every day.
- Place a lot of throw pillows on your couch or bed. These will always make you feel nice and cozy. A throw blanket can give you the same effect as well.
- Add a rug or two to your dining or living room area. A rug will make your space feel more complete and less empty or bare.
- Add a lamp on your bedside table or on your desk to add a little bit of light to your home. If your space is too dark, you will never achieve that cozy feeling.
