The Christmas season officially began in my house on Saturday – just two short days after Thanksgiving. My family has never decorated so early for Christmas, but since one of my daughters just LOVES Christmas, and couldn’t wait to get the Christmas tree up, I just had to oblige the very first day we had some time. My daughter is so looking forward to Christmas that the minute we came home from our Thanksgiving celebration, she donned her felt Santa Christmas hat. Christmas Organization Thanks to some organizing I did just after last Christmas, I was able to get the Christmas tree up 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...

Lovepops Greeting Card Review
Thanks to Lovepop cards for sponsoring this post. Both my twins recently went back to college—they are in their second year. I miss them so much! I like to send them special surprises throughout the year to let them know that I am thinking of them. I recently learned about Lovepop cards, really beautiful pop-up thank you cards and other 3D greeting cards designed for every occasion. Beautiful Pop-Up Greeting Cards I think both my kids will really enjoy receiving the Lovepops greeting cards that I've selected for them. I chose the flower pot notecards 4-pack, which gives me two Continue reading...
Sweet Valentine’s Day Rose and Hydrangea Bouquet (Friday Finds)
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...
How to Warm a Room this Winter – and NewAir Heater 10% Off Discount Code
Thanks to NewAir for providing me with the NewAir Whole Room Heater, Whisper Quiet, reviewed in this post. @newairusa #newairusa My daughter has the coldest room in the house. The room juts out from the back of our home and has multiple exterior walls. So it gets quite chilly! I got her an extra comforter this year to help keep her warm at night. But now that she spends most of her days in her room for remote schooling (our school system is all remote currently), she needs more than just a comforter! So I did some research on how to best warm a room this winter. Luckily, the folks at Continue reading...
