Website of the Week: BHG.com (aka Better Homes and Gardens)

Ah, yes, one of my favorite sites ever.  Better Homes and Gardens, originally a magazine,  took to the internet to bring us all that budget friendly greatness to help make our homes and gardens, better!

BHG.com covers everything from recipes, DIY, home and health, entertaining, menu planning, decorating, and so much more.

This website stands out because it’s all about affordable ideas whether it’s for the home, an office, a garden, or ideas for your family in general.

BHG’s $5 DIY Artwork is what really caught my eye.  They have a whole section on art DIY for under $5, that are easy on the wallet and can transform any room.

But, the DIY is not the only reason to love BHG.com.  Their holiday section is one of my favorites.  With simple and cost efficient in mind, Better Homes and Garden’s holiday recipes and decorating ideas are so clever and fun to do, guaranteed to wow your family and your guests.

We all know that holidays can be stressful with all the planning, the cooking, and the decor.  BHG.com gives you all unique ideas to make your event look like you spent forever preparing, when really you were able to get things ready in a snap.

Take this wine label below for insistence.  It’s so clever, so simple, and the best part?  BHG.com offers it as a download for free!

BHG.com is definitely one of my “go to’s” for all things family, event, holiday, garden related.  If you didn’t know about it before, im glad I can introduce it to you now!

Fab Find: Pier 1 Import’s Tasting Party (The Sequel)

Oh Pier 1, you’ve done it again! Back in March i featured Pier 1′s “Mini Tasting Party Collection”.  (Click here to revisit my “Mini Tasting Party Collection” post).

Today’s fab find is a continuation of the Pier 1′s “Tasting Party” series.  There are so many fun items to choose from items like the porcelain bowls, mini trifle bowl sets, and the glass platters you’d serve them on.

The collection ranges anywhere from $3.50 to $24.95.

The Tasting Party gives your guests the opportunity to try a little of everything, while giving your party a classic feel.

I absolutely love this collection and i’m very curious to hear your thoughts on these Pier 1 products.  Feel free to comment below!

Check out Pier 1 Imports for more home goodness and be sure to follow them on twitter @Pier1Imports!

Happy Wednesday!

The History of Memorial Day (Infographic)

Today, we honor our brave men and women who have sacrificed everything to protect us. My 2 grandfather’s served many years in the Army and I couldn’t be prouder of them.

So, in honor of Memorial Day, i thought it’d be nice to post this Infographic about the history of Memorial Day.

Please support the troops and take today today to be with your family and friends, while not forgetting the reson for today.

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day!
