Ever since my family and I have moved into our home, we've rarely parked in our garage. Our garage is so narrow that it takes VERY careful maneuvering to get our family's mini van into the garage! With winter only a few months away, however, I'd love to get the garage cleaned out enough so that if a major snowstorm is forecast, I can get the cars into the garage if I want to! (I hate cleaning off snow-covered cars in the cold!) Getting Organized I hope to focus my organizing efforts on the garage and get some wall storage into place. I already plan to make a mini mud room area Continue reading...
Crafty Wine Glass Charms
I love wine glass charms -- they add a little whimsy to a party or a moms' night out, and they make it so much easier to distinguish whose glass is whose (especially after a few glasses have been poured and enjoyed). But, wine glass charms can be pricey -- "Ladies Night Wine Class Charms" from Wine Enthusiast sell for $24.95 -- plus, it can be difficult to find charms I like. So, when I saw some cute and simple charms in the jewelry section at my local craft store at the low price of $2.50 for 6, I scooped them up. I also then bought some earring hoops/findings (with rhinestone accents) Continue reading...

Essential Scrapbook Supplies
I am a mom who treasures every moment I spend with my children. Because the moments I spend are so important to me, a big hobby of mine is scrapbooking. The past few years I have been into digital scrapbooking and photo books that I create online, but I just recently, I have picked up my scissors and scrapbooking tools again and have gotten back into traditional scrapbooking! It's been fun! The past few weeks I have been working on scrapbooking my family's photos from this year. I started from January and have worked my way to September 2013 so far. I generally adhere a few Continue reading...
Caramel Macchiato Tea
I am loving fall this year! The colors and the warmer than usual temperatures have been perfect this season. One thing I love to do in the fall is enjoy a warm beverage when I take in the fall scenery, whether it is during a hike through the woods or while sitting in my home's bay window enjoying a good book. So, when Coffee-Mate offered the opportunity to try out their new seasonal flavors, I jumped at the chance! Among Coffee Mates new seasonal flavors are Dark Chocolate Fudge, Peppermint Mocha and Eggnog Latte. Yum! I can't wait to try those out! Fall Tea Break This morning, I had Continue reading...
#BugOut Moments with Orkin
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Orkin Ecologist for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. This fall has been a buggy one in my home. In the past three months alone, my daughters and I have had several #BugOut moments. You know, the kind of moment when you see some kind of unwanted creepy, crawly critter in your house and scream! We discovered at least 5 spiders in our house! Yuck! The spiders we found weren’t tiny harmless ones, either. At least 3 of them were super dark and big! So scary! There is definitely some arachnophobia in my house! I don't know if the Continue reading...
Kitchen Organization Tips for Busy Moms
It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, but unfortunately for many moms, the kitchen is often the central point for something unwanted – piles of clutter. So, I am always searching for new tips on kitchen organization! My kitchen tends to accumulate a lot of clutter, too. My kids like to do their homework on the kitchen table (even though there’s a desk for them upstairs), so we often have to take the time before dinner to clear off homework, pencils, books, etc. The kitchen table is also where I tend to leave the mail for my spouse to see when he comes home, so junk Continue reading...

Kitchen Wine Glass Rack
The cabinet space in my kitchen is limited, so I recently added some extra storage to my kitchen with a wine glass rack to hang some of my more decorative wine glasses. My husband isn't a wine drinker, so it isn't often that we drink wine together, but I do like to serve wine occasionally when my dad stops by for dinner, or when I have friends over from the block for a ladies' night. The wine glass rack that I chose -- the Oenophilia Under Cabinet Stemware Rack -- was just under $13 and can hold six wine glasses, plus my two margarita glasses. The wine glass rack was really simple Continue reading...
Spooktacular Halloween Decorations
Yesterday after school, my kids and I got into the Halloween spirit by putting up some Halloween decorations. My kids and I had so much fun together! On our front door I put up some pumpkin Halloween lights that my kids just adore. We then spread a gigantic cotton Halloween spider's web across the bushes in front of our house. My kids had fun stretching the web to cover as much as possible, and even pretended to be stuck in the web itself! Once our web was in place, we added a creepy big black spider to our Halloween decorations. Fun! Creepy Halloween Decor Now that my kids are older, Continue reading...
