Enjoy Lighting with LED Battery Operated Candles! Review and Giveaway!

Ever since we lost our home to the fire I have given up on my love for candles. I love the look, the smell, the feel it gives the room. However, my fear of the flame over took all of that and away went the candles. Since I loved them people feel the need to constantly gift them to me. I wonder why I keep getting them when they just end up in a closet. Then I discovered LED Candles. I could have … [Read more...]

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Wilton! Giveaway!

I love Wilton and being a Wilton Mom. Wilton has taught me that I am capable of more things then a basic cupcake. A year ago I never would have thought I would be able to make half of what I've made in the last six months. I wanted to put some of the things in a picture of what I've accomplished. All these things are projects not only had I never done but probably never would have tried if it … [Read more...]

Novica Artisan Handcrafted Jewelry

I have had the opportunity to review several items from Novica over the past year. At first I'll be honest I wasn't sure about the site. However, after reviewing several items in different areas of their site I have found all of their items to be beautiful handcrafted pieces created all over the world. Since I hadn't yet seen any of their jewelry and Valentine's Day being right around the corner I … [Read more...]

Affordable Scarves – Fashion and Function! Review and Giveaway!

Over the past six months I've discovered my love for scarves. I had bought one for an outfit for when I went to NYC for BlogHer. Problem? It was outrageously priced. While I wanted to go out and purchase more it just wasn't within my budget. Thankfully, I remembered there was Affordable Scarves. They have tons of fashionable scarves to chose from and most are under $20! They have tons of great … [Read more...]

Couponing: Organize Your Shopping Trips (Coupon Binder)

I told you I'd start bringing you more of my coupon tips. My favorite organization tool so far has been the "store" section in my binder.

Each pockets is labeled per the store it's for. The pocket I'm going to show you is … [Read more...]

V Season 2 Is Back!

I have to admit I missed season one of the show V on ABC. Until The WB told me about it I didn't really pay any attention to the show. Having to watch it for this blog tour I've found it rather interesting. I love Elizabeth Mitchell who plays Erica on the show. You may know her as Juliet from another popular ABC Show. While in her last role you weren't sure if she played on the good team or the … [Read more...]

Creamy Baked Ziti Recipe from Kraft Foods

Again, another recipe I tried from Kraft Foods. If you are curious where I am getting all these recipes from them it's from their magazine I get in the mail called Food & Family. It's a quarterly subscription. It used to be free and I {loved} this book. When they started charging for it I was a bit disappointed but understood why. I do pay for my subscription but out of all my recipe … [Read more...]
