Welcoming Spring into the Home and Garden!
My dad just told me today that my grandmother used tolook for the crocuses each spring and announce theirarrival — I wasn’t sure I had any anymore, but I found thislittle guy in the front yard today! Spring is my favorite season. Summer is my favorite, too. In fact, so is fall. But, I think…

The Guest Bedroom – Furniture & Crafts
We recently inherited some new bedroom furniture from my in-laws. I’m actually pretty excited about it because it’s one of those convertible sets where the “bed” can become either a crib or a full-sized bed. So, when we need the use of a crib, we have one already.

I Love Fall!
I really do. Pumpkins, cornucopias, the smell of freshly fallen or even burning leaves. Dressing up and being goofy on Halloween. Fresh pressed apple cider and donuts. Plus, we happen to live in one of the most beautiful states during the early weeks of fall. The leaves in Michigan are magnificent! They were a little…
