Of course, a wedding reception without music would be weird, so this does make another addition…

Get ready for a blast from the past, ladies! If you grew up in the 90’s, you probably remember the huge “mood rings” trend. Everybody HAD to have one.

Many moms know that not every space within a home is used to its fullest potential. Just because a room was designated with a specific role or function upon purchase or rental doesn’t mean it has to be used as such. From new dining tables to a brand new paint job, it’s fun and easy…
Many homeowners consider their patio area to be one of the best parts of their house and somewhere that they feel really comfortable and relaxed in. A patio area can be a reflection the type of person that we are and a chance to showcase our interests and personalities. If you simply want a patio…

I can’t wait to see her new book because I’ve heard of making cool recipes in cupcake pans but I haven’t…
