Here they share their Riley reclining style:

It is the end of a long day and you deserve to relax…

You worked hard to get everything done at the office today. You hurried over to the school in time to proudly watch your child participate in the last game of the year. It was difficult to sit on the hard wooden bleachers because, let’s face it, none of us are getting any younger, so your back is sore and feeling the effects of the day. You stretch and try to live a healthy lifestyle but sometimes life gets busy and your good habits are sacrificed for convenience.

We completely understand.

So we encourage you to do something for you. The house is now quiet. The kids are in bed, the gentle hum of the dishwasher can be heard and the only thing left to do is take some time for you – watch your show, do some reading, whatever relaxes you. You take a seat and exhale…

Ahhh…

You gently touch the power controls and start to recline.

You feel the tension on your hips release as your head goes back and your feet come up. You get carried away and go a bit too far back…

No worries…

You touch the other control and bring yourself back up a bit. Now for the final adjustment you ever so slightly power the headrest forward so you can view the TV with ease. Creating complete comfort in the position that is perfect for you. That is the beauty of having a power recliner with power headrest – infinite positions and total comfort. No stress.

We at Palliser Rooms / EQ3 in Saskatoon are proud to feature the Riley reclining style. As the images show, it is the perfect combination of comfort and beauty. You must come to the store and try it out for yourself, let your worries melt away. Available as a sofa, loveseat, chair or sectional, you will be sure to find the right fit for your home.

Here they give great Tips for Building an Outdoor Kitchen: 

With warm weather beckoning us outside, why make a meal indoors? If you want to transform your yard into another favourite spot on your property, an outdoor kitchen is a great place to start - and it doesn't have to cost a lot to be functional.

Planning Your Space

Location is the key to an outdoor kitchen that is functional and well-integrated into your deck or yard.

• Consider what you want in your outdoor kitchen. It can be as simple as using your existing barbecue and adding a small counter prep area and storage unit.
• Plan the arrangement of your components. Place them against an existing wall or fence for a galley-style kitchen that takes up the least amount of space. Or use a corner to create a more expansive L-shaped space that works well if you have several cooks in the kitchen.
• Factor in the placement of your outdoor eating area - it should be close enough to the grill to work in tandem with it but not so near that smoke wafts over the dining set.
• Pick a spot close to outdoor electrical outlets and a water source.
• Make sure you have room to expand the kitchen in the future to add more counter space and storage, or perhaps a wood-burning pizza oven or smoker.

TOP 10 TIPS TO HANDLE HOMEWORK

One of the simplest ways for students to develop in-class confidence is by being able to confidently turn in homework, completed and on time. But in order to accomplish this, students need a reliable homework strategy.

When it comes to homework, a little organization and strategic planning helps students of all ages to complete their homework on time. When solid homework habits are established, good grades are sure to follow…not just for the next test but for the entire school year.

Set Up a Study Area—From the first day of class, even if there is no homework, designate one area of the house as the “homework zone.” This is an area with no distractions that is dedicated to working on projects and assignments.

Make Materials Available to the Homework Zone—What tools does your child need to get the homework done? Use a container or box to keep all supplies handy. Anything that your child may need access to during homework should be easily accessible so that he won’t waste time rummaging around for it.

Remove the Distractions—If the homework zone is the dining room table, and a TV is nearby, make sure that the TV is off. But don’t be too stringent; some people work best with a little background noise, such as a radio playing quietly in the background.

Set a Time Frame—Choose a time that is best suited to your family’s needs to work on homework. Whether it is right after school, or after dinner, sticking to a set schedule helps the work to get done.

Offer Guidance—Don’t do the homework for your child; be available, read the newspaper, or read a book so that if your child needs to ask a question she won’t have to go looking for you.

Use An Agenda—Agendas are the key organizational tool for homework. An agenda reminds students of tasks to be completed, and is also a great place to write down questions to ask the teacher.

Stay Informed—Regularly talking to your child’s teacher is a great routine to establish. Ask about upcoming projects that may require extra help or any regularly occurring assignments such as vocab quizzes. These things can all go onto a Master Schedule that the family shares.

Be a Role Model—“Do your homework!” is a refrain heard in many households. Set a good example by practising what you preach; read a book, do some research, or scratch some chore off your to-do list.

Offer Praise—Be specific in your praise, and be sure to recognize children’s efforts, and hard work, not their intelligence. Kids will appreciate that their efforts are not going unrecognized, and you’ll help bolster their confidence.

Watch Frustration Levels—If your child is feeling stressed by homework, or just can’t master the concepts, then it’s time to seek help. Getting homework done is a routine part of school, just like eating lunch, but with a well-established homework routine, it can even be confidence boosting.
