The adventures of Mommy woman
They look so real!

We got a gas log set for our two way fireplace yesterday. I just can't believe how real it looks! I grew up with wood burning stoves and fireplaces. I remember seeing gas logs and thinking how incredibly fake they looked. This new one has a regular grate, "magic embers" that burn just like wood embers, about 7 very real looking logs.

The boys are mesmerized by the fire. The 3yr old has to point it out to everyone that comes over. I really enjoyed sitting near it and watching it during this dreary, rainy day. I can't wait to snuggle up to it at gaze at the beautiful Christmas tree once it is up. Not sure when that will happen since things are looking pretty busy already.

If anyone is looking for a gas log set, I highly recommend Rasmussen.

We have a "wood stove" that was added recently to our living room by me husband. Since it is vent free, you can't use any of the glowing stuff (at least none that I have found) but it still looks pretty realistic. It is *Much* nicer than having a real fire. No mess, and you can just turn it off when you don't want to have it on. You can also turn it off if it gets too warm.
