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! The project was so simple, and I love the new fall look! You can see how I created this fall look for my living room's pillows in the tutorial that I shared Continue reading...

Painted Craft Birdhouses
Monday was my kids' first day back to school after a week with the flu. My husband, kids and I all got a bad case of the flu this month, even though we all got our flu shots! Having the kids home for a whole week got a little tough at the end. Even though my kids were under the weather, they were starting to get bored! Luckily, I had some craft supplies and a box of acrylic craft paints on hand, and my daughters and I spent a fun afternoon together painting birdhouses! The birdhouses and paints are relatively inexpensive and can be found at just about any craft store. DIY Painted Continue reading...
Happy Spring Crafts
I can't tell you how happy I am that it is now spring! The winter was a tough one for my family, what with my broken wrist and my family's recent bout of the flu. Here's hoping for a healthy and happy spring! New Spring Flowers When I was outside today, I was thrilled to see that some of my flowers are beginning to poke up through the soil. It looks like my tulips are starting to grow, and some of my flowers in my southern exposure garden are starting to break through the soil, too! My family is just starting to get better from the flu, so I wasn't able to tackle any Continue reading...
Countdown Until Spring & Craft Magnets
OK -- enough already! I am so sick of winter! The temperatures are down in the 20s today, and I can't take it! But at least I can take comfort in the cute bird and springtime magnets that I made the other day for my refrigerator door. It makes me think that spring can't be too far off! I can see them right now as I write this post from my "home office" -- the kitchen table! I just love springtime crafts! I found the materials for my fridge craft magnets when I was out shopping for fabric at my local craft store. I have been planning a big redesign for my home's living room, and was out 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...
