I think monogram clothes are too cute for kids. We took our daughter is Disneyland in December for the first time. I thought it was the perfect time to celebrate the event with her own personalized shirt.

Need a coupon??

I have to say it, I LOVE LOVE LOVE coupons! I cannot go anywhere without my coupon packet. I keep an envelope of coupons in my purse and check them regularly. I also check this site, Printable Coupons for all the latest coupons. Do you use coupons? Where do you find them?

Benefits of Lavender

The health benefits of lavender essential oil include its ability to remove nervous tension, relieve pain, disinfect scalp and skin, enhance blood circulation and treat respiratory problems. Lavender has the Latin name Lavare, which means “to wash”, due to its aroma which fills a room spread with lavender oil with a clean aroma.


Lavender oil is extracted mostly from the flowers of the plant, primarily through steam distillation. The flowers of lavender are fragrant in nature and have been used for making potpourris since years.


I recently added Lavender sachets to my store!

UGH.....

They say those of us who live in Southern California cannot complain about the weather.... I disagree!!!! Thanks to the recent 5" of rain received on Monday, my shop is closed until December 16th. The rain caused some damage to our home and we need to get on it ASAP before the next storm comes through. We also have company coming from out of town for a visit. What is it they say.......
