Now that I have taken down all the Christmas decorations, my home was looking a little empty! So I decided to get to work decorating for the next holiday ... Valentine's Day! I spotted some great supplies at my local dollar store that I thought I could use to make a beautiful Valentine's Day centerpiece. So I picked up a class candle holder, a heart-shaped glass dish, a red scented candle and some plastic heart scatters -- all for just over $4! I had some Gorilla Glue on hand, so I decided to use that to glue my glass dish to my glass candle holder. Gorilla Glue is very strong -- I've used Continue reading...

Great Giveaways This Week
I am a BIG fan of blog giveaways! One reason is because I've had so much success with entering giveaways this year -- I've won a Kindle Fire HD, my blog redesign and The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays and a Cuisinart CSB-76BC SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender. . The giveaways are easy to find and enter -- all I do is read the blogs I already love to read, and enter the giveaways on my favorite blogs by entering my email address, liking their pages on Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook, etc. Entering giveaways on blogs is so much better than entering national giveaways Continue reading...
Happy National Rubber Ducky Day
I bet you didn't know it, but today is a special day! That's because it is officially national rubber ducky day! I didn't know about the holiday until just a few days ago, but I am sure glad that I found out! I have been a fan of the rubber ducky ever since I saw Jim Henson's Ernie sing the rubber ducky song on Sesame Street on TV. I sang that song all the time as a child! I used to sing the song to my kids when they were tots, and my daughters told me they always loved when I sang that song! I never knew all the lyrics to the rubber ducky song, but now I do! RUBBER DUCKIE Ernie Continue reading...
West Elm Yellow, Brown and Gray Living Room
I am hoping to redecorate my home's living room, and I am so excited! For my Christmas gift, my husband made me a popsicle stick sofa (so cute) and said I could go shopping for a sofa. I can't wait! I've done a little shopping so far, and at the moment, I am crushing on West Elm! I love their modern color schemes and their small-scale furniture, which should work for my small living room. I am loving a yellow, brown and gray color scheme. I have my eye on the Paidge sofa. Isn't it cute? At 72.5"w x 38.5"d x 34.5"h., I think it would fit well in my home's small 20 foot x 10 foot living Continue reading...

Creating Photo Books at a Discount
© Pbclub | Dreamstime Stock Photos & Stock Free Images My husband is an avid photographer, so whenever we go anywhere, he takes lots and LOTS of pictures. Which is great, because I love preserving memories of my kids and all the fun things we do together. One way I do that is by creating custom photo books by designing photo books online and then having them printed and shipped to me, which is a really quick and easy way to preserve photo memories! One place I like to create my photo books is at York Photo. Photo Mementos When my husband and I have photos of events we've shared with Continue reading...
Celebrate National Bird Day
My dad gave me a really great bird feeder for Christmas (thanks, Dad!), and I am hoping to put it up today, since it is National Bird Day! It is supposed to rain today, so that should make the ground nice and soft for getting my bird feeder and post into the ground. My dad has the same birdfeeder and pole, and he says it attracts lots of beautiful birds to his backyard. My birdfeeder, the Homestead Triple Bin Party Bird Feeder, looks great because it can feed large birds like cardinals and blue jays, and because it has three separate bins, so you can fill it with three separate seeds to Continue reading...
Heart-Warming Good Reads
My! Is it chilly here! It is supposed to get to -4 degrees (that's NEGATIVE 4 - YIKES!) here in New Jersey tonight! I can’t remember another time EVER when it’s been that cold outside here! Weather like this just makes me want to snuggle under a throw on the couch and read a good book! I used to be strictly a fiction nut, but lately, I’ve been hooked on biographies and autobiographies. I guess it’s because I am always looking for lessons on how people traveled through life and found their successes. These are a few interesting ones I’ve read recently, if you are looking for a good Continue reading...
Snow Day Activities
It's snowing hard here in New Jersey, and with the local schools already closed for tomorrow, that means that area kids should have a fun snow day tomorrow! So, I've been browsing Pinterest for fun snow day activities for the kids. If you are looking for snow activities for your kids tomorrow and over the weekend, check out these fun ideas! Stacy at Not Just a Housewife has a tutorial on how to make snow paints and dyes for the kids out of food coloring. I don't have any food coloring in the house, but I do have some Kool-Aid, so I might have to try making our dyes out of Kool-Aid Continue reading...
