Perfect Weather Calls For A Perfect Patio!

With all this gorgeous weather we have been having here lately, I am really spending a great deal of time outdoors with my children. Both of them just blossom when they step outside and the fresh air does so much for them! One problem that has always been a part of our lives here is that we do not have a patio. I have a porch on the front of the house but it is not covered so I cannot go out all the time in rain or shine. We do have a large Crimson Maple that overshadows the porch and makes a beautiful place to sit in the shade. Over all, I don't complain. But a patio, a place to sit and enjoy the weather...would be fantastic!

Recently, I discovered everypatiofurniture.com. This store is a division of Cymax stores and has some really lovely pieces of furniture to consider. They carry everything from outdoor day beds to swings, to bistro sets! WOW!

I have always been a fan of wrought-iron patio furniture. It looks rustic, yet classy enough to dress up the patio. This set pictured above would look so lovely in my backyard. I can very easily picture our family gathered around the table enjoying a yummy picnic lunch. I also love how it seats 6 people and looks really sturdy.

If you have a large patio and it is covered, you may want to consider a more comfy option when it comes to furniture. How about a outdoor sofa set like the one pictured above? Wow. I can really picture this one on a cabin deck...nestled out in the woods overlooking a lake or something like that. Isn't it gorgeous? I don't have a nice sofa like that in my living room so I might be tempted to put it there rather than on the patio!!! :)

Another great option for a cabin-themed porch or patio would be a great set of Adirondack chairs. Nothing says "Grab a glass of fresh iced tea and have a seat" like these lovely pieces! I am especially fond of the rocking chairs...they look so inviting! The color is great too...I love white!

So, if you are in the market for some new patio furniture, I would definitely recommend checking out everypatiofurniture.com for some great options. They certainly have a wonderful selection that will suit a variety of tastes and looks.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Vanilla & Lime Twist Review & Prize Pack GIVEAWAY {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Well, as you have probably noticed I do not have a shortage of lip balms in my house. I do have a sister who is crazy about lip balms too, so I make sure to pass on some of my goodies to her. My daughter is also really fond of these little sticks of balm too...and LOVES to put on like two or three inches of it when she is given the chance! As a Carmex Blog Squad Member , I am privileged to bring you new and exciting products that Carmex has recently released and they are NEVER a disappointment! So, this next review is brought to you by Carmex and is featuring their brand new Vanilla Twist and Lime Twist Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balms ! Carmex has been one of my favorite brands to use lately mainly because I love the tingly sensation that is present after using their products. I know it sounds odd, but it is almost like I know the product is working for me and actually doing something other than sitting on my lips. (Just don't leave them in a hot ...

Prem Soaps Review

I often love to highlight beauty and skin care products here on my blog and have been on the search for some really great and organic beauty companies to feature. When it comes to my skin (as I have said numerous times before) I am choosy as to what I use on it. Our skin really takes a beating...especially when exposed to the weather and indoor elements such as water, heat, cleaners and soaps . Have you noticed that most soaps today...even though they smell great...contain LOADS of chemicals and additives? I have, and honestly-it's scary. Think about it...your skin is like a giant sponge; what goes ON gets absorbed IN. So I think it is important to use only those products that will put goodness in...rather than chemicals. The other day I was searching the Internet for organic kitchen products . Specifically, I was looking for bamboo products, towels, dishes, etc. However, I was NOT prepared to find what I did! Prem Soaps is a little company nestled in Brooklyn, NY that...
