Happy Friday, everyone! In honor of the end of the work and school week, I thought I'd share with you some of my Follow Friday (#FF) faves! To start out, I love the wire heart ring tutorial by Erlene of My Pinterventures. I never thought I would try to make jewelry, but I might give her rings a try! They are so pretty, and they don't look that difficult to make! Her rings might make nice gifts for my daughters for Valentine's Day! I met Erlene through the Spring Craft Blog Hop that we co-hosted this week together! My next fave is the lace dress for winter by Carrie of Crafty Curly Mom. I Continue reading...
Scary Toaster Oven Fire and How I Put Out the Flames
My kids and I were having a normal Tuesday night yesterday when I decided to heat up a taco shell and have a second taco for dinner. I put the taco shell into my convection toaster oven, set the timer, and stepped away to my computer (just feet away) to reply to an email. Before I knew it, I smelled burning, and there was a fire raging in my toaster oven! That convection toaster oven has been burning things since the first day we owned it, but I never suspected that it could be such a fire hazard! I should have known not to turn my back on that toaster oven! It's been nothing Continue reading...

Cyber Monday at Kohls
I am not much of a Black Friday shopper, so I slept in on Friday instead of hitting the stores. (I am not one for getting up very early or for pushing and shoving.) LOL! But I will be hitting Kohls.com today for Cyber Monday, as I am a HUGE cyber Monday shopper! #KohlsBlackFriday continues online at Kohls.com today at for Cyber Monday! I just love shopping at Kohl's.

Hot Shot® Insecticides Giveaway
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hot Shot® Insecticides. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. My husband and I used to subscribe to a regular pest service. It was great: Whenever I saw an ant, spider or any kind of bug in my home, I picked up the phone, called the pest service, and the bugs were gone. But that peace of mind was pricey and cost hundreds of dollars a year! Now getting rid of bugs in my home is my husband’s and my job, so I am so glad that I found Hot Shot® Insecticides, especially Hot Shot® Ant & Roach Plus Germ Killer Fresh Floral Continue reading...

Psychology of Paint Colors for the Home
A friend of mine has a red dining room, while I have a yellow kitchen and a green bedroom. Red is a popular color for dining rooms, while yellow is a common kitchen color. I am not sure how popular green is as a bedroom color, but I am sure I'm not the first person to choose the soothing hue for bedroom walls! Do you ever wonder why certain colors get chosen for certain rooms of a home? The Painters of Louisville have the answer! They have a fun infographic that explains the "psychology of color" and why certain colors are good choices for specific rooms. For example, red is a good choice Continue reading...
