Happy fall, everyone! Fall is definitely here in New Jersey: The air is getting cooler and the leaves are starting to change beautiful oranges and reds. I just love the gorgeous fall colors! Although I am kind of late to the game, I thought I'd share my fall home tour with you! One of the first things I did to bring fall into my home this season was a quick pillow decorating project -- I wrapped my living room's sofas in burlap ribbon!

Should You Go Solar?
What does fall weather make you think of? I think of fall leaves, hayrides, pumpkin picking and fall home decor! But I also think of chilly fall nights and rising home energy bills! It makes me want to put on a pair of fleece PJs and hide under some warm covers! I'd love to find a way to reduce my home's energy bills this fall and upcoming winter. My husband and I have already installed an energy-efficient furnace, an energy-efficient Nest Learning Thermostat and replaced some of our windows with energy efficient ones. We also do little things to conserve energy like turn down the heat Continue reading...

Fall Paper Leaf Wreath
Happy October! To celebrate fall, I decided to make an easy and fun paper leaf wreath for my home. What's great is that I made the fall paper leaf wreath at no cost with materials I already had at home. I love how the happy fall colors brighten up my house! The project was simple -- I just cut out a circular wreath out of cardboard and glued on some paper leaves that I cut out from paper that I already had. I didn't even need a glue gun -- I used regular white school glue. I also used some white twine to wrap around my wreath (for a decorative touch) and to hang my wreath. Easy! Paper Continue reading...

#ShareAwesome: Sharing Digital Content Safely
As my twin tweens entered middle school this fall, my husband and I gave them their own cell phones. It's an exciting time for my kids as they broaden their horizons by communicating more freely with their friends by texting and sharing digital media on apps like Instagram. That's why I am participating in the #ShareAwesome digital advocacy campaign, sponsored by National PTA and LifeLock. The campaign's focus is to encourage an open and dynamic conversation between kids and adults about ways to share fun digital content in a safe and positive way. My kids really like expressing themselves Continue reading...
