The rainbow loom craze has hit my home! I love that my daughters are having so much fun crafting their rainbow loom bracelets, but I soon discovered that we seriously needed something to organize all of my children's rainbow loom supplies! We used to keep my kids' rainbow loom rubber bands in one big plastic takeout container, but that system didn't work too well. All of my kids' different rubber band colors were all jumbled together in that container, so sorting out the colors that they needed was a long process for my kids! Rainbow Loom Rubber Bands Organized I found the Continue reading...

I thought for a long time about buying a bread machine, but held off, thinking that the small appliance would become a short-lived fad, only to take up the limited space in my cabinets. But, I am happy to say that since I have purchased my bread maker, the Zojirushi BB-HAC10 Home Bakery 1-Pound-Loaf Programmable Mini Breadmaker from Amazon.com, the appliance has a permanent place on my Continue reading...
Fall Favorite Things
Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am excited about fall and the fun activities that my family and I can share together the next few months. So to get in the spirit of the season, I decided to share 12 of my fall favorite things -- what I love most about this time of year: 1. Fall walks in the woods and the sight and smell of autumn leaves pixelperfectdigital.com 2. Watching my kids make huge piles of leaves in the yard to jump in 3. Brewing cups of mulled apple cider for my kids 4. Snuggling under warm comforters on cool autumn nights 5. Fall movie nights with Continue reading...
Quick and Healthy School Lunches
I make my kids' school lunches daily, and it's not uncommon for me to be up until 11 p.m. or later making my kids' meals for the next school day. But I just saw some great tips by online that will make packing my kids' school lunches a breeze! To pack lunches quickly and easily, all I need to do is place a protein (yogurt or cheese, hummus, or cubes of chicken, etc.), fruit, and veggies that are washed and ready to go in small containers for my fridge. I also can assemble small snack containers (with pretzels, Goldfish, etc.) that my kids can choose. In the morning, all they need to do is Continue reading...
Halloween Boo Grams
It’s that season again – it’s almost time to “boo” the neighbors! We started a little Halloween tradition two years ago in our neighborhood where kids and families take turns “booing” each other, secretly leaving fun packages of treats, toys and goodies and a Halloween boo gram (a cute Halloween note) by a neighbor’s door. I've also created some free boo grams to share! My family is to the tradition, but Halloween "booing" and boo grams are popular in many neighborhoods across the country. Booing the neighbors is sort of like “Secret Santa,” where the gift Continue reading...
Fall Container Gardens
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. My home is filled with wall-to-wall carpeting, which means that I do a lot of vacuuming. I try to vacuum frequently to keep my house clean, but I have to admit there are a few spots that I overlook! 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.
