19 Real Pumpkin Carving & Craft Ideas
Today is the first official day of fall. Chances are you are planning a trip to the pumpkin patch over the next several weeks if you haven't been there already. We just took our very first trip yesterday. We usually take a few hayrides to pick out pumpkins because the whole family loves it so much. Normally all that happens when I take them them home is I just set them down somewhere, either on the porch or in different areas throughout the house. This year I vow to up the ante and ... read more

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
We received a complimentary copy of The Chew Approved. I'll be upfront and tell you right off the bat that I always order eggs for breakfast. As tempting as pancakes and french toast may be, nine out of ten times I won't give in. That is unless I find something extra special on the menu.

It is such a fresh lemony salad that can be eaten on the side or as the main event for lunch. It is so delicious, and I've watched my parents make it for years but finally ... read more
DIY felt cat wand
Finding the right cat litter is the single most important decision for cats and their owners. If you have a cat child in the house, you know just how important that is. We tried to switch to a natural kitty litter to eliminate the dust, but our decision turned out to be disastrous. One of our cats did not take to it and started marking around the house. Cat urine has a horrible strong stench to it, so it's crucial that you find litter that counteracts that smell so that it doesn't dominate ... read more
