I’m a mom and I have gotten some pretty weird gifts through the years for my birthday, Mother’s Day and, most especially, Christmas. I thought a bit of assistance to the husbands, boyfriends and kids of a mom might be in order! When buying a gift for someone, I like to take their likes, personality [...]
I’m Yours! Gourmet Romantic Gift Basket for Couples A few years ago, my siblings and I got together and came up with an idea for making couples baskets for Christmas as opposed to a gift for every person. It was such a fun project, we have adopted doing it every few years now just to [...]
I love vintage and mercury glass ornaments always remind me of my grandmother’s tree. It was filled with these glittering, sparkling gorgeous ornaments. Today, I decorate my tree with a mixture of ornaments. I tend to gravitate towards blown glass and mercury style ornaments because they remind me of Christmases past. Of course, I have [...]
It’s time to start thinking about those Christmas and holiday parties. One of my favorite things to do each year is to pick up a new Christmas serving piece or two to use for parties and holiday dinners. I tend to go more with buffets since guests can serve themselves and I can make the [...]
Yup, it’s time to start thinking about Christmas cards. I have a thing about Christmas cards — I want them to be different, unique and fun. I want something the receiver will remember — not the generic ones you get at a dollar or big box store. That’s me! Different! One of the best places [...]

I have found some awesome ideas for easy and eco friendly decorations you can use throughout the Thanksgiving [...]
You can greet your guests with fun Fall door decorations that feature a Halloween twist from September thru Halloween. Then switch it up to a more harvest or Thanksgiving theme after Halloween. I have been perusing the internet for ideas and inspiration and thought I’d share what I have found. (Click the links under the [...]
Believe it or not, in 36 days we will be celebrating Halloween. A lot of Halloween parties will actually take place the weekend before, since Halloween falls on a Wednesday. So, before you get too deep into your party planning, I wanted to offer some fun suggestions for having an awesome, themed buffet for your [...]
A cute little DIY witch’s broom can be a unique favor or part of your Halloween decor — whichever you choose. I made these a few years back for some of my special trick-or-treater’s. I thought I would share it with you all. I think I found it in Martha Stewart’s Halloween ideas and it’s [...]
My favorite time of year is approaching. No matter what life has thrown at me during the rest of the year, Christmas gives me hope and keeps my spirits up. The promise of a new year and opportunities for improvement all around me. I guess it’s like a renewal to me. Retro Christmas designs have [...]
Yes, I’m a mom so who better to come up with Mother’s Day gift ideas than a mom? I know there are always jokes about dad’s getting funky ties or another pair of socks because, after all, that’s all you can think of to get him. However, moms get bum gifts sometimes too. To correct [...]
I have been having a blast using Pinterest to save favorite photos I stumble across online.
