Affordable Home Decor Ideas

I am not a creative person when it comes to decorating my home. I am also not very good at forking out hundreds of dollars when I do become interested in decorating. To me, if you can decorate and stay on a budget, then you have accomplished alot. I think the last time I decorated was when my daughter was born 3 years ago. We had to turn one of our bedrooms into a nursery and I had a blast doing it. My theme was the Classic Winnie the Pooh and I stuck with neutral colors so the nursery would be cute for boy or girl. I truly enjoyed the painting, putting up the border and filling the closet...hard to believe that was three years ago!!

Well, the next room I would love to re-decorate is the living room. Our furniture is old and hubby and I have discussed getting new furniture possibly this year. How exciting!!! We have been looking for sectionals for sale and when I was at become.com, I saw some really nice looking pieces that would fit great in my living room.

When we do decide on a new couch and some recliners, I would love to have some cheap throw pillows that will accent and compliment my furniture. Throw pillows add so much to a room! Currently, I have none. Not one! So, this would definitely be a great addition to my home!

Last but not least, the finer touches that add a great deal of glitz and glamour to any home. How about some cheap vases? I am not talking about tacky vases, but some that look great but don't break the bank. After all, I do have two toddlers in my home and breakable is not the best option for us right now. So, the cheaper the better!

Well, it looks like I have a bit of work ahead of me but it is sooo exciting to think about decorating! It is even more exciting when you look at all the options available to decorate on a budget...it isn't impossible!!

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 Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
