I love going to a restaurant and ordering those light & tasty Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps! This makes a perfect amount for an appetizer or light lunch – just double the recipe if you want to feed several people!
A hot, warm bath and a fizzy bath bomb, along with a wonderful glass of wine, make a perfect evening in! Here is a recipe to make those fizzy bath bombs, using whatever essential oils you like! These make the perfect little hostess gift, or a gift to friends or family, or even just for yourself!
Now, will someone please pour me a glass of wine? I’m going to go use one these right now!
After 16 years in my home, I finally got a water softener a month ago! I have the hard water deposits on my faucets to prove it! Years of this build up made my faucets look awful! Recently, I was lucky enough to win a basket of products from Bar Keepers Friend (I do love their original powder!). There were a few products in the basket that were new to me, so I thought I would test them out on the hard water build up!
This video shows you the steps it took to get the hard water deposits cleaned. Personally, I am thrilled with the results!
Thank you to Bar Keepers Friend for the free basket of products! I am looking forward to trying out the other products in the basket! (FYI – There was no expectation of me reviewing their products!)

With the Super Bowl coming up, I wanted to create a flavorful vegetable slider that would be tasty enough for both my vegetarian teenage daughter and my carnivore friend and family! This hits the spot! Best part about it? You can grill the veggies and make the cheese spread the day before, and then just reheat the veggies and assemble ½ hour before guests arrive!
This recipe is chock full of beautiful grilled vegetables! I used red, green and yellow peppers, onion and portabella mushrooms, but you can use any kind of veggie that will hold up on the grill – maybe yellow squash or zucchini, asparagus and more!

When people think of organizing, they tend to think of big organization projects they need to do around the house – like clean out the closet. But sometimes, organization can be very simple! Decluttering a little and having simple ways to store items may be all you need around the house. With just few items, for as little as $1, you can have simple organization!
Hair Band Holders – As the mom of girls, I can attest that hair bands must be related to rabbits – they seem to multiply fast and are everywhere! Try this simple trick – use a carabiner (or some call them D-Rings) to hold them together and keep them in one place. Easy to hang on a hook in the bathroom!
My daughter also uses one as a key chain that easily can attach to her purse!
Bathroom Storage – A trio of glass candle holders on a small long platter make the perfect storage for Q-tips, cotton balls and small personal items.
Baskets, either wooden or plastic can also work for larger items like towels or toilet paper storage.
School Supply Storage – The kids need supplies like pencils, crayons, scissors, but those can get messy really fast! Try using wire tea light holders for storing them on a worktable or shelf.
Jewelry Holder – I love my earrings, but they can get tangled and separated in my jewelry drawer. Try using ice cube trays to store pairs of earrings together – they are stackable in a drawer!
Pantry Storage – Simple plastic storage works perfectly for open goods like crackers, rice or dried beans that need to be protected from humidity and bugs. Or use stackable plastic storage for spice packets, napkins, Potatoes or onions makes things neat and organized.
Beach Toy Storage –Use a mesh laundry bag to carry kids beach toys to and from the beach. The mesh allows you to rinse off the toys for easy clean up and you don’t take the beach home with you!
Simple Car Cleanup –Turn a small plastic cereal holder into a trashcan perfect size for the car! (This can actually fit between two seats!)
