Are you planning on taking a family trip this summer? Do the kids love car rides or are they always asking “are we there yet?” Two summers ago we drove up to Tahoe and my daughter wore a shirt that said “Road Trip” and on the back it said “Are We There Yet?” She was a pretty good traveler but I wish that I had this Vacation Journal that my friend Colleen created. I love all the fun activities the kids can do prior to the trip, during the car ride and even after you are back home. Here are some ideas to make your trip enjoyable for all! …

The Perfect Gift for Father’s Day!
Last week my daughter’s teacher gave this adorable succulent gift to the volunteer’s that helped out this year. She had all the children sign the glass vase with their names. I thought this would make the perfect Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day and yes, Teacher Appreciation Day gift! For Father’s Day – you can have your kids write Happy Father’s Day and then have them sign it. Or whatever strikes your fancy! A favorite quote perhaps? This gift really touched my heart and I know that I will treasure it always! Right now it is sitting next to my computer. She said she used succulent’s from her mother’s garden and made about 20 of them. Personalized gifts…

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…
