This post contains Amazon Affiliate links. Over the summer, I was able to tour three used bookstores in New Jersey with my family: Booktrader of Hamilton, The Book Garden in Cream Ridge, and The Wolfe & The Kron Bookstore in Farmingdale. Visiting the three stores was so much fun—they are all very different! It's been a busy past few months—I can't believe that I'm only writing about them now! The Booktrader of Hamilton I first visited the Booktrader of Hamilton of Hamilton with one of my kids—the store is very easy to locate on Nottingham Way in Hamilton, NJ, and we were able to Continue reading...

Amazon Finds: Window Bird Feeders
This post contains Amazon affiliate links. I really love watching the birds in my yard. So I was hoping to watch birds feeding while I work from home. I found a cool and inexpensive clear window-mounted bird feeder and got two of them. But I forgot that my house has exterior screens on nearly all its windows! So I couldn't put the bird feeders where I at first wanted to, and instead mounted my new Kovot Acrylic Window Bird Feeders and Perches on one of my living room bay window's casement-style windows. That window works for my new bird feeders since its screen is on the inside, not Continue reading...
How to Make DIY Box Cushion & Office Love Seat—An Easy DIY Tutorial
Thanks to Premier Prints for sponsoring this review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. A few months ago, I got a cute little loveseat for my home office. My little pup likes to snuggle up with me during the day, and there isn't room for him in my regular office chair. So I got this cute little loveseat from Amazon for the two of us. The only problem is that the mini sofa isn't comfortable enough to sit on for 7-8 hours a day. So I got myself some 3-inch foam that I cut to size to make my own cushion. I got a super cute bird-print fabric by Premiers Prints at ShopFabric.com and Continue reading...
Pet-Friendly Hardwood Floors
I've been wanting to install pet-friendly hardwood floors in our home, especially since we got our Shih Tzu pup about 5 years ago. We've been good at keeping our carpets pretty clean since we moved into our home about 20 years ago, but the carpets have gotten significantly less clean since we got our dog—it's very hard to keep carpeting looking good when you are a dog owner! But I've been noticing lately that there are many new wood flooring options on the market now that would be perfect for my dog-friendly home! Engineered Hardwood Floors for Pets I have been reading a lot about Continue reading...
4 Great Reasons to Move Your Family to Colorado
As the United States continues to see high levels of relocation from state to state, places like Colorado have emerged as clear winners with substantially higher inbound moves than other states. The net increase in new residents is nothing new for the state, which has added 760,000 new residents over the past decade, but the pandemic helped propel Colorado into the fast lane. While moving to Colorado brings a host of benefits to middle-class families, all cross-country moves come with a price tag. Located in the mid-range of America’s Rocky Mountains, the state offers amazing vista Continue reading...

My Favorite Things Lately
I received free product in exchange for my review. Happy Monday, everyone! Today I am sharing a few of my favorite things. I have been very busy these days and haven't been able to blog much, so I thought I could share a bit about what I have been up to. Cozy Throw Blanket - Great Amazon Buy My kids and I love to sit underneath soft throw blankets when we watch TV in our family room. Sometimes our pup steals one of ours when he's looking for a soft place to sleep. So luckily I got a new plush throw from Amazon (for about $28) for our sofa so there will be enough blankets for Continue reading...
Outdoor Patio Dog Enclosure (Amazon Find)
This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Today I'm sharing a project my husband and I completed this weekend—or, I should say, HE completed! (Here's a BIG shout out of THANKS to my hubby!) I started a new work-from-home job in September, and have been wanting to create an outdoor office of sorts on my patio. The only problem I had is that our yard isn't fenced, and I have a 4-year-old Shih Tzu who wants to be with me basically 24/7. Which is good until he sees a squirrel and wants to go tearing after it! Thus, the need for the fence! I looked into all sorts of fencing options, Continue reading...
