Road Tripping :: Essentials For a Memorable Trip!
Image courtesy of Regarding Nannies “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” ~Jawaharial Nehru This summer we plan to take a road trip up the coast of California into Oregon. Since it will take about 15 hours give or take (depending on how many bathroom breaks I will need) I thought it might be fun to see what we can do to make the trip even more memorable. For any road trip the basics in my mind include comfort, games and snacks! I…

Dwell :: 7 Decorating Ideas for Summer
Summer is here and time to get your home decked out for the summer months. I love the lightness of summer and try to change up simple things like different (inexpensive IKEA) pillows, throws, and add seashells around to help bring the beach back to our place. Nothing says summer quite like flowers, butterflies, and bright colors. If you tend to decorate with neutrals, now is the time to add some color with these simple and inexpensive ideas. Enjoy! A Colorful Entryway: I just love this idea from Home Talk. Take your favorite chalkboard and hand it by your front door to greet your friends and neighbors. …

Dwell :: Spring Clean For Your Health
Image courtesy of Flickr As a mother, I know nothing is more important than the health of my family, so it’s imperative to prevent illness and injuries before they occur. We still have the guard rails up at the bottom of the stairs from when my daughter was a baby. Now we use it to keep our dinosaur dog from going upstairs! The American Osteopathic Association (AOA), which represents the nation’s more than 82,000 osteopathic physicians, or DOs, encourages us to set aside a few hours during one weekend this spring to take steps toward making our home a healthier place. I know we have old medicines we no longer…

9 Design Ideas for a Magical Garden
My mom is moving into a retirement community soon and we have been on quest to make her indoor atrium and outdoor patio something that she could really enjoy. Both sections only have tile with absolutely no place to actually plant so this is definitely going to be a potted garden. One of the main things we are looking for in design is a place she can kick back, read a book and enjoy her two cats. Plus have little surprises here and there for her three grandchildren to enjoy. We found some wonderful ideas via Pinterest (love that site) and I wanted to share these ideas with you…

Party Ideas :: Balloons Make Any Party That Much More Fun!
Balloons can make any type of party that much more fun and colorful! I think I love balloons as much as I love polka dots – both remind me of childhood and just bring a smile to my face. There are a ton of ideas on how to incorporate balloons into a birthday party, baby shower, or even surprise someone special with a box of balloons on their doorstep. I might be an adult now (and forever 28 years old) but I still love love balloons and would be totally thrilled to either get or give a box of balloons! At my daughter’s birthday parties they always play a part…

Inexpensive Ways to Update Yourself and Home for Spring
Spring, ahhh… a fresh start. There is a lighter mood to Spring. We trade in our heavy sweaters for a lighter jacket, our boots for perhaps a sandal. Even the smallest of change can make you feel good and it doesn’t have to break the bank. A little something to celebrate the new season. It can be as small as a new nail polish shade, a new lipstick or changes around your home. There are a few ways that I like to do this. image courtesy of pinterest Brighten Up the Place With Flowers: Nothing says Spring like flowers, right? I love love love flowers in my home and…
