Dwell :: Fun Ways to use Dough Bowls in the Home
A few years back I found this awesome dough bowl at a garage sale and have been wondering how best to use it in my home. I love how versatile it can be and you can change it up season by season. While I am still debating about how best to use it in my home, for now, it will hold some of my favorite home décor magazines. Mixing antiques with modern décor is one of my favorite looks and I think the wooden dough bowls go with just about any style – from shabby-chic, modern, bohemian, to even traditional – depending on what you put inside it…

Saving for College Made Easy by ScholarShare College Plan
In my early thirties I probably read through about every investment book I could get my hands on. The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach and The Millionaire Next Door by Stanley and Danko are some of my favorites because they taught me that making money and having financial freedom is something that can be done – by just about anyone – with diligence and consistency. I was, and still am interested in maximizing the money earned by my family because for me, money represents freedom. Freedom to live the life you want. I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t want the expensive designer clothes (unless I get them at a…

Family Is What You Make It!
Families. Today, we are seeing all types of families and they are starting to look less like The Cleavers! What we see today has evolved into a vast range of possibilities. Our family consists of in-laws, cousins, sister-in-laws, with a few adorable kids thrown in as well. And since we celebrate both Christian and Jewish holidays we can be found honoring both religions around the holidays with Passover, Easter, Christmas and Hanukah. This makes for a pretty busy holiday season but I wouldn’t want to trade it with anything else! I just love that my daughter is gaining an understanding of our family traditions. Through the years, I have…

Gardening :: Growing Baby Succulents
Succulents just might be my all-time favorite plant! Some reasons include the fact that they don’t need a lot of attention or water. In fact, they tend to do better if you just leave them alone! Now that is an easy plant to have around. But I can’t help but admire when a new flower comes out of a succulent I’ve had for awhile that I didn’t even know flowered! That is always a nice surprise. Which brings me to something I want to share with you lovely dandelion moms and dads – you can grow a baby succulent – without any soil! I found this out…
