Dwell :: House Tour in Orange County
We had a chance to take a tour of the lovely Justine’s home. She and her family moved into this neighborhood about two years ago but says she is still looking to do more things in the house. I think it looks fabulous and love all the little touches that just say home. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design of the home while keeping in mind her two adorable twins and husband.

Dwell :: Update Your Bathroom in 5 Easy Steps
I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of REACH® and One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own.

There is something quite freeing about decluttering as you pack don’t you think – it is like a fresh start! Since I know how stressful moving day and move-in month can be I wanted to make…

Ideas for a Dragon-themed Party!
A few years back when the previews were showing for the new How to Train Your Dragon movie my daughter and I couldn’t wait to see it! We even hosted a dragon-themed birthday party the year the first movie came out and have some fun ideas you can use for your next party. This past month, Netflix aired their original series Dragons: Race to the Edge and introduces some of the most exciting dragons yet, each with its own amazing abilities — shock waves, cannon balls and fire blasts, just to name a few. With the magical Dragon Eye, an artifact Hiccup finds aboard an abandoned ship, Hiccup learns there is more outside the confines of Berk, and that…
