Thanksgiving is a mere two days away, can you smell the apple pie! This year I’ve been on a roll, maybe because last year I couldn’t balance the surge of a newly busy business season along with actually enjoying the holidays. So this year, my creativity was buzzing months ago with lists of gift ideas…

Isn’t summer just the best time of year. The holidays may be a magical season, but summer, summer has all the best things going for it.

Spring Cleaning How To: Natural All-Purpose Cleaner
How ironic Mother Nature is. I knew very well that the freak warm weather we had here on the east coast in February only meant that we would get hit hard with snow close to the start of Spring! Sure enough, along with most of the country we’ve woken up to A LOT of snow….

DIY Watercolor Birthday Candle Cards
Today is my grandfather’s birthday! I’m starting with this because I miss him and wish I was in Portugal celebrating his 85th year with him, but he was one of the reasons for today’s post.
