Giveaway: Preserving Family Memories – #DivaMemories
This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and YesVideo. I received the featured service free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine." For years, my husband and I have been meaning to transfer the family videos of our twin girls from our old cassette tapes to DVDs so we can enjoy watching my kids’ baby videos. My husband gave me a video camera for my birthday a few months after my twins were born, and I used it to video many family memories. The camera had all the bells and whistles at the time, but it is now about 10 years old and has been Continue reading...

Summer Flowers: Black Eyed Susans
I started my sunny perennial garden last summer knowing that while I am not that much of a gardener, I just love flowers! Luckily, I planted pretty foolproof flowers like lilies, phlox and black eyed susans (Rudbeckia hirta). So this summer, I am the lucky owner of a beautiful flower garden! The best bloomers in my garden are my black-eyed susans. I planted them last summer -- they came from a free packet of seeds I got from Burt's Bees. I had no idea what would bloom from those seeds, but just crossed my fingers and planted them! Last summer they just looked like weeds with no blooms, but Continue reading...

I'd love to show you how to create your own gallery wall! I just love how my new living room came out! The room used to be pretty much empty and only housed a piano and two toy chests.

Summer Patio: Hot Shot Insecticides
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hot Shot® Insecticides. I love summer, but I don't like the increase of bugs and insects it brings to my home! It's as if summer signals vacation time to the critters, and my house is their vacation home! So, when I was offered the chance to try out Hot Shot® insecticides, I jumped at the chance! I don't want those pests to make my patio their home sweet home! My husband and I put in a really great paver patio a few years ago. It's a wonderful place for our wrought iron patio set and for our new Weber gas grill -- I am becoming a bit of a Continue reading...
