A good mom would do anything for you, and in that respect, I hit the jackpot. I want to take a moment this Mother’s Day to introduce you to my mom, Paula. I couldn’t ask for a better mother, and I’m glad to say she is also one of my closest friends. Of course, she would get on my nerves when I was growing up, but what mom doesn’t annoy a teenager? Fortunately, we were able to remain close despite some rough years. It wasn’t easy being so much alike back then, but now it keeps our relationship strong.

ridiculous the two of us were. It sounds silly, but it’s something we laugh about often. Despite the occasional car-related mishap, we like to go on vacations together whenever we get the chance. Sometimes they’re with the whole family, and other times we take a trip, just us. We’ve been to the beach in Florida, visited Mom’s family in Illinois, traveled

to Branson, Missouri, and stayed in Fredericksburg wine country right here in Texas. Wherever we go, we always have to find a tearoom to visit. We love the eccentric decorations, serene atmosphere, and even the itty-bitty sandwiches my husband Bill makes fun of. Of course, we also always need to make time for local shopping. I think we are so close because Mom has always been there for my brother and me. Throughout my life, she has taken care of us, and she can’t rest easy unless we have whatever we need. She’s always there to listen — even if she does tend to offer unsolicited advice. And if something was ever wrong, she was there to make sure it turned out okay.

We don’t just look like each other — we almost share the same personality. We can both be a bit over the top, but we also care deeply about other people. Like me, Mom loves to shop and have fun. She’s very light and easy to be around, which may be why we talk every day (sometimes more than once).

For better or worse, we’re also pretty boisterous and have a habit of getting a bit loud. We have a rule that the two of us can’t be on the phone in the same room. If one of us is talking, the other has no hope of hearing anything else. One time I was on the phone with a client in the car, and Mom broke the rule. She answered her phone, and both of us just kept getting louder and louder because neither of us could hear the person we were talking to. Eventually, I had to pull over and get out of the car to finish my conversation. But I also had to put my client on mute because I couldn’t stop laughing — to the point of tears — because of how

As a mother, I aspire to be the same kind of rock for our family. Growing up, it was always valuable knowing that Mom was in my corner and available to help. I want my kids to feel the same way about me and know that whatever they need, I’m there for them. Luckily for the girls, my mom is also an incredible grandmother. I feel so blessed they get to enjoy the same love and warmth from her I did as a kid, and having grandchildren is one of Mom’s great joys. Many of us think our mothers are the best, but I know mine is truly someone special. I can’t imagine life without her, and I’m grateful I don’t have to. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! –Amanda Chandler

SWITCH TO AN ELECTRIC STOVE A Better Way to Cook

Make a Wreath for Any Occasion With These 3 Materials

Over the last 20 years, we have seen rapid advances in technology. While the most recognizable innovations came in the form of cellphones and the internet, many of our household appliances have also evolved in the last couple of decades. One of the biggest changes involves a discussion about the ubiquitous kitchen stove: Which type is better — electric or gas? We’d like to suggest an answer. Much like our cellphones, stoves and ranges have seen huge advancements, and electric stoves are better than ever before. They are easier to clean, cost less than gas stoves, and heat food more efficiently. Additionally, there are some impressive environmental and health benefits that come from transitioning to using an electric range stove. Improved Indoor Air Quality When you cook on a gas stove, you’re producing nitrogen dioxide and sometimes even carbon monoxide. Brief exposures to nitrogen dioxide can lead to coughing and wheezing for people who have respiratory issues. According to a report by the Rocky Mountain Institute, homes with gas stoves can contain approximately 50%–400% higher concentrations of nitrogen dioxide than those with electric stoves. Making the switch will lead to cleaner air in the home and healthier respiratory systems. Lower Air Conditioning Costs Interestingly enough, using an electric stove can actually lead to lower electricity bills because you may use your air conditioning less. Gas stoves pump out considerable amounts of heat and can quickly raise the temperature in the home. That means you won’t have to run to the air conditioner as often when you’re using an electric stove. Safer Cooking Method With an electric range, there’s no flame or burner to cook your food on. This means there’s a much lower chance of getting a burn injury while using an electric stove. Additionally, the National Fire Prevention Association estimates that an average of 4,200 home fires start annually with the ignition of natural gas — cooking equipment was involved in 54% of those fires. With an electric stove, you needn’t worry about gas explosions, and you will considerably reduce the risk of having a fire in your home.

Since the 16th century, wreaths have been a staple holiday decor item that people once made from the fallen branches of a Christmas tree. In more recent history, folks travel to the local hardware/home decor store to pick up a wreath for their door during the holiday season. However, it seems as though wreaths are gaining popularity beyond just the winter holidays. Whether it’s to celebrate your favorite sports organization or the changing of the seasons, you can make a wreath to recognize the occasion. From Facebook Marketplace to specialty boutique shops, there are plenty of places to purchase a customizable wreath, but what if you want to make your own? With a certain level of flair and creativity, anyone can create their own wreath. You just need to figure out which material works best as your base. Wire If you’re looking to make a wreath that’s long-lasting and durable enough to handle any type of weather, look no further than a wire-base wreath. Wire bases are available in various sizes and levels of thickness, so you can make almost any design. If you want your wreath to look dainty, you should use a single-wire frame, but if you want your wreath to look full and bountiful, use a double-wire instead. Grapevine Grapevine bases are the best if you want your wreath to look traditional or natural. They’re usually made of entwined bundles of grapevines or twigs to look like they came straight from the earth. Grapevine bases are cost-efficient and are the perfect option for anyone looking to create a classic-looking wreath. Styrofoam A Styrofoam wreath may not have the elegance of a wire one or the traditional style of the grapevine wreath, but it is the perfect option for bold designs. You can get a Styrofoam base at any home decor store and spray-paint it in the color scheme of your final creation. You can then place yarn and other decorations to bring your wreath to life. Since Styrofoam is lightweight, the items you place on the wreath will also need to be lightweight or the wreath will fall apart.

Doesn’t Your Home Deserve The Best? Chandler Roofing & Restoration Can Help!

If you’re missing shingles, you might be wondering if it’s time to get a new roof. Missing shingles can indicate a larger problem, but sometimes, all you need is a minor repair. How do you tell the difference — and make sure no one takes advantage of you? Call Chandler Roofing & Restoration. We’re a trusted, locally owned company that puts our clients first. And better yet, we’ll never knock on your door looking for business. We only show up at your home when you call us. How big of a problem are your missing shingles? It depends on their location. But failing to act can cost you big money in the long run. Unrepaired roof damage can cause a whole host of problems. If you wait too long to have missing singles replaced, here are some things you can expect: • Leaks Your shingles create a barrier that makes water roll right off your roof. When they’re missing, it’s easier for water to get past the waterproof membrane beneath and drip through your ceiling and into your house. And if water can get in, so can pests. • Excess Moisture Even if you don’t see actual drips, water can still get into your home in other insidious ways. Your attic and insulation might develop mold,

mildew, and rot from condensation that slips through the missing shingles. • Higher Energy Bills When air can escape your home, your HVAC system works harder to regulate the temperature. The more missing shingles, the worse the problem — and

that can cause more expensive repairs later on! • Structural Damage When missing shingles are

unrepaired for long periods, your house’s safety and structural integrity are at risk. And if there is a leak, the longer the leak persists, the more it can spread throughout the house and damage vital components like electrical wiring. That means your family is in danger, too. Some homeowners also suffer lowered property values. Your home is an investment. But without proper upkeep, its worth can suffer. Missing shingles look unsightly, and the problems they cause can be expensive to replace. No buyer will want to take those issues on for free. Luckily, roof repairs don’t always cost an arm and a leg. Sometimes, they might even cost less than your insurance deductible. ALWAYS call for a free inspection from a trusted roofing company before filing a claim. You’ll save time, headaches, and money!

Chandler Roofing & Restoration can be your solution finder. If your home has seen better days, one call does it all. Emergency service is available, so don’t wait to pick up the phone. Dial 800-692-8851, and we’ll do the rest!

“My house and my car got hit with the April storm, and the golf ball-size hail did a lot of damage. Trying to get my car fixed was not a fun experience. I was dreading a repeat in getting my roof repaired with all of the companies door knocking, etc. “I called Chandler from a coworker’s recommendation, as he said they were very honest in helping him with some minor roofing issues.

“Jesse Wilkinson came out and did all of the leg work for me! He made this stressful ordeal very easy. He went over everything with thorough details and dealt with the insurance company fully. He set clear timelines and expectations, and everything was done without any issues. My new roof looks great thanks to Jesse and Chandler!”

PETS NEED SPACE, TOO Create a Pet-Friendly Area in Your Home

In your home, you probably have bedrooms for each family member as well as a family or living room for the entire clan to congregate on a daily basis. But where do your pets normally hang out? Do they go where the family is, or do they have their own space? Just like us, our pets need a place where they feel safe, protected, and relaxed. If you’re looking to add a furry family member to your abode or simply change up the flow of your house, try adding a space for your pet. Before you even enter the design phase, though, keep in mind how social your pet is before making a decision. If your pet loves being around people, consider making their space part of the family room instead of in a separate room.

know they’ll like and feel safe and secure with. Add extra blankets for comfort. If you’re picking a bed for a cat, choose something comfortable that offers a level of protection. Make sure the bed does not clash with the other design elements of the room. Once you’ve found the perfect bed, invest in a few other items to take the space to the next level. Any additional beds, rugs, and blankets you buy should be easily washable so you can keep the area clean and hygienic. Animals have accidents so try not to invest in an expensive rug for the area. Also, make sure to include toys, and if you’re designing for a cat, don’t forget a climbing tower. Pets play a huge role in our lives and are incredibly important to our families. Giving them a clean and comfortable space in the house will enhance their well-being. If you create the space based on your pet’s needs and wants, they will truly be your bestest friend.

Once you’ve decided on where you want your pet-friendly space to be, make sure you have the right items. Possibly the most important thing is a bed for them to rest on. If you’re designing a room for a dog, try to pick a bed you

Moms, Treat Yourselves This Mother’s Day

HOW MOMS SHOULD CELEBRATE THIS MOTHER’S DAY

Do It Your Way

Let’s face it: The kids probably aren’t going to get you what you really want for Mother’s Day. We know it’s the thought that counts, but you’ve still earned some pampering. It might be time to take matters into your own hands by celebrating yourself this year — no matter what your children and/or partner have planned. Here are some ideas to get you started. Take the day off. It might be the greatest gift any mother can give herself. Let your partner, the grandparents, or a babysitter take care of the kids for the day and spend time doing what you want to do. Maybe that’s sleeping in late, finally going to see a grown-up movie

in a theater, reading a juicy novel, or going on a shopping spree. It doesn’t matter what you choose — not having to worry about temper tantrums, meals, or bedtime is the true gift here. Enjoy a girls’ day out. You probably don’t get to see your friends as much as you’d like, so take the time to get together for some kid- free fun. You can treat yourself to brunch, manicures, or just a bottle of wine and a good laugh. Having the opportunity to catch up with the gals you love the most can be a great way to rejuvenate. Create a group text and get the party planning started! Have a date night — with the person of your choosing. With whom would you most like to spend some alone time? If it’s your partner, arrange a romantic evening for adults only. If it’s your best friend, schedule a fun outing. Maybe your ideal Mother’s Day involves the kids after all! If so, plan some one-on-one time with each of them, doing something special you know they’ll love. Whomever you choose as your date, you’ll feel more connected (and appreciated) than ever. If your special Sunday is already booked with family activities, remember you can always pick another weekend to treat yourself. That way, you can still get your ideal day — and enjoy the kid- prepared breakfast you’ve come to expect and love.
