A Closet With A View

One way to utilize the space under a window is to add drawers. If you have a beautiful view take advantage of it. Use mirrors to reflect outside light and make a room appear larger.  Using a professional will ensure every inch of space is used properly.

The Perfect Gift for the Graduate

zappos3zappos91gaWWL1CnL._UX522_High school and college graduations are around the corner. This year give a gift they will not only love but will use over and over again.

These toiletry bags are easy to pack for quick get aways. As an extra bonus you can fill the bag with an endless variety of travel goodies such as sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste, chap stick, moisturizer, shaving cream, q-tips and band aids. You can also tuck a gift card into one of the zippered pouches for an added surprise.

What a great send off for the graduate, a gift that will keep them organized!

The Power Of A Post-it Note

Everyone in my family knows I have a major LOVE of Post-it Notes. I own them in all different colors and shapes. I use them everyday for various reasons. I write notes to myself and leave them on the kitchen counter. I keep them in my car for quick notes and reminders.

I put a Post-it on the back door so I did not forget to pick up the prom boutonniere for my daughter which I did one year and that is why the Post-it Note has become an important part of my life.

IMG_0663post itIMG_0666IMG_0664IMG_0671I know there is technology for all of this but nothing means more to me than waking up to a Post-it Note from my daughter that says I love you mom or an unexpected note from my husband. They are not long letters just a little note to let you know someone is thinking of you.
