Thank you, BISSELL for sponsoring today’s post on preparing for holiday entertaining! Now that Christmas is only about a week away, I am in full gear to get my preparations done for the big day! Since my home has wall-to-wall carpeting, a major part of those preparations are making sure the carpets are clean for my guests!

My new ProHeat 2X® Premier 47A23 Upright Deep Cleaner, and my BISSELL Professional Deep Cleaning formula with Scotchgard™ Protector, really helped me to get my Continue reading...
Holiday Stars Gallery Wall
Hi, everyone! Today I am sharing a recent project I completed for the holidays at Ask Anna! I share decorating ideas at Ask Anna every first Thursday of the month. Today I am sharing a pretty holiday stars gallery wall that I made for my home's living room! The yarn stars were simple and fun to make, but they have a big impact! What I like about the stars are that they fit right in with my living room's bright and sunny decor. Plus,the stars don't too overtly say "Christmas," so I could leave them up if wanted to, even after the holidays are over! Hop on over to Ask Anna to see more Continue reading...

No Sew DIY Curtains
*Thanks to Premier Prints for supplying the fabric for this project! This post contains affiliate links. I have always found it difficult to find the perfect curtains to fit my style and my space. Not to mention trying to fit my daughters' styles! So, when my daughters' both got new bedrooms this past summer, I decided that I would make custom curtains for each of their rooms. (My kids had been sharing a room until then, and are excited about decorating their new rooms!) One of my daughters picked a coral and pink color scheme for her room. She has a beautiful warm soothing orange color Continue reading...
Upcycled Glass Jar & Pom Pom Flowers
My kids and I are big believers in recycling, so we are eager to celebrate National Recycling Week! I am always holding onto used spaghetti sauce jars for crafts, and have lots of yarn on hand. So, my daughters and I decided to create a yarn craft using one of our recycled glass jars and some yarn we had on hand. We also created some yarn and chopstick pom pom flowers for our upcycled glass jar project -- house plants don't seem to do well in our house! We get Chinese take-out fairly often, so we often have some chopsticks around. Our project was inspired by a Continue reading...
Pom Pom Holiday Wreath
What do you do when you want to decorate for Christmas, but it's not Thanksgiving yet? You craft a "transitional" holiday wreath that would work just fine as a Christmas wreath but can serve as home decor for just about any other time of year, as well. That was my thinking when I created my Holiday Pom Pom Wreath. Today is the first Thursday of the month, so that means I am sharing one of my home decor tutorials at Ask Anna! Stop by Ask Anna for my full tutorial on how to make this fun and fluffy wreath! The tutorial also includes detailed instructions on how to make pom poms. I shared Continue reading...
Free Fall Printable
Hello! I am happy to be sharing one of my latest projects -- a free fall printable -- with you today! My printable was inspired by this season's beautiful colors! Leaves blanket the ground in my neighborhood, and mums and pumpkins provide beautiful pops of yellow and orange. I love it! I decided to create a mini celebration of the fall for my family and for my home by creating a colorful fall printable that I could frame! I chose to frame my printable in an inexpensive white frame. I have it sitting on a table in my home's living room. My kids adore it! I like how the framed free Continue reading...
A House Full of Clutter: My Daily Struggle
When my husband and I moved into our house, our home, save for a small pile of boxes in the basement, was blissfully empty. We wondered how we would fill the house! Now, some 12 years later, our house is filled with so much stuff that I don’t know what to do with it all! I am constantly working to organize it all. An Organized Chaos The biggest problem in my house is that nobody (except for me) really wants to get rid of anything. While I’ve been dutifully emptying my unneeded stuff out of our home bit by bit, the other members of my family have been clinging to nearly every possession! My Continue reading...

Fall Home Tour
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...
