I love my family's Keurig K-Cup Home Brewer. I originally bought the coffee maker as a gift to give to my husband for Christmas, but my kids convinced me to give the brewer to him right away, since he often drinks coffee on the way to work in the morning. If the man in your life doesn't have a K Cup home brewer, it would make a perfect Father's Day gift! The brewer has become a family favorite. My kids love it, because now they can make their own hot drinks on their own, instead of asking me to heat up some hot apple cider, hot chocolate, etc., in the microwave. I keep large mugs in a great Continue reading...

Time to “Boo” the Neighbors!
It’s that time of year again – it’s time to “boo” the neighbors! We started a little Halloween tradition last year in our neighborhood where kids and families take turns “booing” each other, secretly leaving fun little packages of treats, toys and goodies by a neighbor’s door.

Fall movie nights with the family and big bowls of buttery Continue reading...
Homemade Holiday Pillows and Curtains
Now that St. Patrick's Day is coming up, it might be time to pull out my sewing machine and stitch some handmade valences for my daughters' hall bathroom. I've gotten into the habit of making homemade seasonal valences for our home's bathrooms ever since I got my sewing machine as a gift a few years ago. My husband bought the machine for me because I used to get my fingers bloody when I used to hand sew my daughters' patches on their Girl Scout uniforms. Those darm patches are so thick (and the iron-on glue on the back of them never stick well) that once I'd finally get the needle Continue reading...
