Bing Smart Search Helps Me Start a New Project!
Most moms are always on the lookout for ways to save time (and money). I am constantly checking out the Internet to get ideas for posts for my sites, new recipes (the family is sick of my ten recipes), and fashion tips. Sometimes, it will just take a picture or short post about something I find interesting that then triggers the creative juices! Recently, I discovered Bing Smart Search on Windows on our new laptop which came with the new 8.1 operating windows. As part of the Linquia community, I was asked to participate in this Bing campaign and see how well it works. So off I went in search…

Supporting Veterans Day
Tomorrow most of the country will have the day off because of Veterans Day. Last night at dinner, my father-in-law who is a Vietnam Veteran, told me that Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was created and officially announced a National Holiday on November 11th because at the end of World World I ended on November 11, 1918 on the 11th hour. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day.'” As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans. It wasn’t until after World War II and the Korean War that they…

Wickedly Fun Halloween Party Ideas
Every year since my daughter was about two years old we have hosted the neighborhood Halloween party. And each year my daughter and I are looking for some new ideas for decorating our front lawn and party table. She is quite the character and has been drawn to the sparkly skeleton heads found at Target the past few years so we do have an overabundance of skulls and bones! We set up a section reserved just for these spooky things but I wanted to find some new ideas that we can include in this years pot-luck party that both young and old can enjoy. We found some spooky and not so spooky DIY…
