People, this is CRAZY town. Do you see this photo? This is everything that was sucked up when I used the new Dyson Big Ball Cinetic Animal Upright Vacuum on my upstairs. This wasn't even that many rooms and I had vacuumed recently. What IS all of this stuff?! All I know is that this product has some serious suction and I'm happy it pulled … [Read more...]

I'm always feeling very stylish when I'm carrying one of my Mixed Bag Designs bag. These reusable bags may not be holding anything too stylish if you're using them for groceries as I do, but you sure as heck look cute with one of these on your shoulder! I first learned about Mixed Bag Designs at a blogging event years ago and have been hooked on … [Read more...]

We've really gotten into Halloween the last  couple of years around our house.   The kids just love it and I swear I go just as crazy with the decorations this time of year as I do for Christmas, even more so maybe ever since I did a campaign with Kmart for Halloween and we really stocked up on goodies.  Last year we had bloody chains and zombie … [Read more...]

Guys! Exciting news today! I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I will be working with Raymour & Flanigan to makeover a room in my house. I most definitely need it in many rooms in my house! When they asked me which room I thought needed a furniture re-do, I said a few of them! But the two we thought needed the most were our bedroom and … [Read more...]

My friend told me about Joss & Main. It's another flash sale site for home goods - furniture, decor and more for the home. I had yet to visit the site until I went to Zareen's house and saw the awesome pieces she had bought from Joss & Main for great prices. I've been obsessed with checking out the site since.  You can put items in your … [Read more...]

Happy day!  They've finally opened up the Container Store in my local area.  I went for a blogger luncheon and visit last week to scope out the new store and all it did was inspire me to get more organized in my house.  Which is a good thing, trust me.  It's also a good thing there are places like the Container Store that make it easy to get … [Read more...]

This season, I'm burning a Glade® Limited Edition Winter Collection in my house.  These candles are an exclusive line to Target and they are really festive and fun!  I love nothing more than walking into a house during the holidays and getting the traditional smells that come with this time of year: vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin, pine and … [Read more...]

We recently updated all of our bedding in Cole's (7) room to bedding from the Company Store.  Previously, we had a big Pottery Barn quilt.  It was cute but he was always SO hot, even in the winter.  By the end of the night, all covers would be kicked off and he would end up cold and eventually walking into our room. Seriously, this kid hasn't … [Read more...]

Instagram is totally cool and I love snapping photos and using it. And I have often thought about the fact that I'll snap a really cool photo here and there and then do nothing with it. It'll eventually disappear into the archived folders of my Instagram account never to be seen again. Problem solved: StickyGram! I adore these little magnets that … [Read more...]
