We took advantage of the holiday weekend and planned a 5-day trip to Colonial Williamsburg. I'm a huge history buff, so I love, love, loved it! My kids, of course, went crazy over Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. My husband was just happy to have a beer in his hand. The weather was great, the scenery was beautiful and the food was delicious. We would definitely go back! Jeanine ...
What do you do when in the midst of spring cleaning you come across a random block of wood? You turn it into a petite farmhouse sign! And that's just what I did.

Since, we plant wild flowers every spring, I didn't pay too much mind to the newspaper articles criticizing the seed packets. On Saturday - weather-permitting - we'll...
The weather is finally beautiful here. The boys are off from school for spring break, and I'm starting to prep for Easter company. I found this petite basket at the thrift store last week and turned it into a little nest to add to my Easter table. Now back to planning my menu... Jeanine ...
April showers are in full swing today in New York, but that didn't stop me from putting together this sweet spring vignette for our porch. Don't you just love that bunny from Home Goods?! I picked him up a couple of years ago. I'm tempted to leave him out all year. I love the look of a bundle of candles. I tied a bunch of my French script candles together with twine and added them...
