Now that fall is here, I have been looking for ways to continue gardening, since I had so much fun with my new southern-exposure flower garden over the summer. My daughters and I found a great way to garden in the fall and to add some autumn color to a home's outdoor decor -- fall container gardens! Earlier this month, I signed up for a fall container garden workshop at what has become my favorite garden store, Timothy's Center for Gardening in Robbinsville, NJ. I was going to go by myself or take a friend along, but instead, I took my twin 10-year-old daughters, and we had a Continue reading...
Time to Plant Spring Bulbs
This summer, I just adored the new perennial garden that I planted along the southern side of my home. The phlox and some of the lilies are still blooming, but the sunflowers are long gone. That's why today when the kids come home, I plan to enlist their help in planting some spring bulbs. Now is the perfect time to plant spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips, which bloom in the spring. Since it's necessary to plant spring bulbs in the fall before the soil freezes, I plan to get an early start by doing my planting today. I usually wait until October to plant my bulbs, but I've Continue reading...
Five Places You Forget to Vacuum
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BISSELL Homecare, Inc. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

BISSELL’S PowerGlide® with Lift-Off® Technology Vacuum The areas I forget to vacuum are those out-of-the-way or hard to reach spots, so I am very intrigued by BISSELL’S new PowerGlide® with Lift-Off® Technology vacuum.

Storage for Kids Rooms
This post contains Amazon affilate links. Finding enough storage in children’s bedrooms can be tough, but if you buy furniture and accessories with storage in mind, you should be able to find plenty of storage for kids rooms. My daughters, used to enjoy sharing a room together. (They have since gotten their own rooms.) So, when I chose the children's furniture for their room, I chose children's furniture that would give us the most space as possible for storing their things. Their room is fairly large, but not that big, considering that we must fit two twin beds in there, a dresser, Continue reading...

A New Betta Fish
For the past two years, I’ve been unhappily cleaning the goldfish bowl for my daughters’ two goldfish, Rocky and Swimmy. I hate the job, but since the fish are the only pets my kids have (both my husband and I have allergies) I grudgingly do it. The other day, I upgraded the fishes’ bowl to a more sophisticated mini aquarium. The aquarium doesn’t have a filter (alas – I wish it did, to spare me some cleaning), but it is equipped with a light and a pump. Since the pump pushes extra air into the tank, I figured that we could squeeze one more pet fish into the tank, especially since my girls Continue reading...
