I found this delicious recipe at The Recipe Rebel and adapted it a little by adding more Continue reading...

By

Thanks to Photowall for providing the print reviewed in this post. Happy Friday! It's been a cold and snowy week here in New Jersey, leaving me to spend most of my time indoors. That's one reason I was especially happy to receive my new beautiful canvas print from Swedish wallpaper and print company, PhotoWall. I chose to review a 31.5 x 19.69 inch "Light Forest" canvas print by Canadian artist, Lisa Audit. My print is a beautiful depiction of a birch forest. In the print, stark but beautiful white birch trees stand tall against a winter sky. I am reviewing the print as part of my Continue reading...

Pink KitKat Sweetheart Cake

Sweet Valentine’s Day Rose and Hydrangea Bouquet (Friday Finds)

By

Thanks to Nearly Natural for providing me with the bouquet described in this review. Welcome to Friday Finds! I love fresh flowers. If I could, I would have a vase full of them daily in my home. Always having fresh flowers would make me happy, but not perhaps my wallet. Luckily for me, I recently received a lovely bouquet of faux rose and hydrangea from Nearly Natural, just in time for Valentine's Day. They look so good that I had to inform my daughters that they aren't real! I am sharing my new artificial flower arrangement as part of my regular Friday Finds column. In this column I Continue reading...

Hang a Canvas Easily Without Nails (Friday Finds)

By

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links. This Christmas, one of my teen daughters surprised my husband and me with a portrait of us that she painted. I was amazed by her painting. Her painted canvas is a beautiful depiction of my husband and me on our wedding day. I love it! I immediately wanted to put the canvas up on a wall. I wanted to hang the canvas without nails. (In my experience, there never is a stud in the spot you want to put a picture. Plus, I'd rather not have to get out a hammer.)
