I am staying connected by having all of my devices online, thanks to the Linksys EA6300 I received. This past father's day I was reminded about the fact that staying connected with people you love is so important. It's been about 20 years since I last spent time with my dad on father's day. Not a year goes by that I don't connect with him on that special day, though. Every year, I feel like there are more ways to connect with my friends and family across the miles. Do you feel like that's the ...

3rd Revolution Inspires DIY Creativity
This post brought to you by 3rd Revolution. Seeing projects that other people have worked on and completed is very inspiring. I've been checking out submitted projects on the 3rd Revolution site, and have even submitted a few of my own. I was nervous about submitting my projects on 3rd Revolution, at first, because I thought that everyone else's would be so much nicer than mine. Turns out that my concerns were misplaced. It is actually really great to see projects of all kinds on the ...
Discover Unique Home Décor Products — The Home Garden Directory
There are dozens of high-end furniture stores near where I live, which have prices that are too high for me to be able to afford the home décor goods from them. I know of the usual mid-range places available, and I'm sure you can name the exact same ones. But why would I want to have the same things in my home as everyone else? For me, the biggest compliment about my place would be someone saying that it looks/feels like me. Then, I would know that I decorated well. To really put your personal ...
Nomad: A Global Approach to Interior Style
As someone who has travelled throughout the world, I know it can sometimes be a challenge to successfully mesh several different styles of nicknacks and décor pieces together. I have picked up things that I found beautiful, and that (I felt) optimized the country that I was visiting, throughout my travels. Nomad: A Global Approach to Interior Style offers readers a glimpse of countries throughout the world. The images in Sibella Court's book inspire me to travel more, and to return to the ...
Spring Fashion Tips – HuMn Wallets Make Great Accessories
Bright colours seem to be everywhere lately, and it's no wonder. Pantone's colour of the year is Emerald, and there are so many other great colours on their Spring 2013 palette, too. A new season, especially when it is a warmer-season one, naturally makes me feel like changing things up fashion-wise. How about you? With all the bright colours around this spring, I am trying to keep my accessories simple and understated. From my earrings to my necklace, to my wallet, everything is ...
Step-By-Step Home Design & Decorating
It was probably a month ago that many of you (like me) put together a list of goals or resolutions for how you'd like the new year to go. Amongst the healthy-eating and other similar things I saw on lists, I also saw goals related to starting new projects, going on more adventures and trying new work-out routines. Some people like to take classes or join groups to start on these new goals, but not me. A lifelong avid reader, I prefer to learn things and research my new hobbies myself. DK ...
How to Steam Clean Your Floors
Sweeping, vacuuming, mopping. . .I've tried everything to get my kitchen floors clean. I cook often, so the kitchen definitely gets well-used. Every time I cook, I notice these spots on the floor that just don't seem to clean up. I really thought that those spots were just part of the linoleum, after a while. Earlier today those spots came off my kitchen floor—finally. What did I do to clean the floor? ...
Getting Organized: Organizing Your Bags And Purses With 3M Command
Getting organized doesn't have to be a massive undertaking, where you take out everything in your home and put it back in in a much more organized fashion. Every little area you work will help, overall. I started the year with a focus on organizing my bedroom. Other than purses, I have a lot of canvas or other bags around. These bags tend to make their home on the back of my bedroom door, hanging on the back of the handle. Even in a rental place, I'm comfortable hanging things up on the wall, ...
Health and Fitness Goals Will Be Reached Using My Eat Smart Scale
This Eat Smart Digital Bathroom Scale is a great way to track those weight loss goals for the new year. It's really easy and quick to use this scale—you don't need to press anything to begin, you just start standing on the scale, and you'll get your weight instantly. Like many of my readers, one of my goals is to get healthy this year. One of the ways to make that a measurable goal is by saying I plan to lose a certain amount of weight. Through diet and exercise, I plan on reaching my goal ...
A Charming Way to Cover your Arms — CH*ARMZ
I'm against baring arms. . .at least my own. Dresses typically are available sleeveless, which used to really turn me off buying any. I've recently discovered that I can wear those readily-available sleeveless dresses, but still keep a bit of modesty. A cardigan is often too casual or too warm, but a shrug is the perfect way for me to wear a dress and still feel comfortable. CH*ARMZ actually has two different products that work especially well for covering up, yet keeping the overall look of the ...
