Garden :: 10 Unique Container Gardening Ideas
Yesterday my daughter and I visited our local nursery and I was inspired to work on my back patio this spring. We don’t have a large area so the following are great ideas for small spaces. It is probably a good thing since I don’t have a ton of extra time like most moms – but I do get a lot of pleasure working in the garden and love to see when it is all cleaned up and looking good! Now if I can just get my (almost) one year old 110+ puppy to not eat the new flowers we planted! Fabric Covered Planters = Divine! Hands down…

Fabulous DIY Springtime Crafts
Spring officially started last week and I am so happy to see the sun out and birds chirping! Springtime is a time of new beginnings. We have been working on our house, slowly de-cluttering the random stuff that somehow manages to find its way onto my counters and kitchen table! By getting rid of these things that we no longer need, has freed up more space to start working on some fun springtime crafts. My daughter starts spring break tomorrow afternoon and we are working on our Things To Do List this weekend. Here are some fun crafts you can do with the kids while on break that would look great…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Organic Designs by Aggelige
There is just something so wonderful about succulents. I love how they fit in almost any type of décor style you might have. A few weeks ago we ran into Aggelige Spanos, the owner of Organic Designs by Aggelige and is just about the cutest shop around located at The Camp in Costa Mesa. Her shop is set up in an old school mobile home filled with an array of succulents. She offers a huge selection of plants that make the perfect gift! We chose this gorgeous terrarium that has a crystal, feathers and rocks that she collects from her nature walks. And for Valentine’s Day – think about giving a live…
