HOT COCOA BAR DECOR

My trip to Home Goods was well worth it! I found a lot of great items. I’m not sure if people in NJ are avid Rae Dunn collectors because there was an entire end cap stocked with it. I also found pieces throughout the aisles.

I picked up the STIR spoon rest and SUGAR bowl with lid. I like to mix and match my decor pieces so I picked up this black with white polka dot creamer pitcher. Kitchen towels added some texture and pattern. This is a neutral decor theme but you could easily add color. I made this marshmallow garland from nylon rope and these white foam pieces on wire. Tying some fabric on the mugs added extra cuteness! Get creative with things around the house. Shop for inexpensive accessories that can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary!

You will see in my video how it all came together.

Hope you enjoy it!

Mother’s Day Tiered Tray

A new idea for your tiered tray styling. For me it takes a lot of work to figure out how to style these trays. I think the best way is to have a theme and then rummage through the house like a maniac! (just kidding) Try finding unique items like this Willow Tree figure. Old vintage tea cups and saucers bring in some pink with the addition of books that happen to say Mom in the title.(thanks Joyce Meyers) Try and use repetition of colors for a more cohesive look. I always add some greenery and flowers too. Now get going!....

Styling Tiered Trays

Styling a tiered tray can be a daunting task. How do you even start? I am going to show you how to make it happen. First: Theme pick your holiday, season or subject Second: Gather shop your home, go to the Target dollar spot, thrift shops etc. Third: Repetition I like to buy in three’s and two’s keeping the same piece on each level brings continuity Fourth: Scale Larger items at the bottom, smaller at the top This is pleasing to the eyes! Fifth: Be Creative There are no limits to what you can achieve! Use your imagination and it will naturally flow! I hope this helps you have fun decorating your trays!

Finding Strength In The Darkness

I found out my youngest son Nick had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at age 6. When you hear news like this it is earth shattering! The prognosis is bleak. No cure, wheelchair bound by 12 and life expectancy 21. The disease so far has been a true test to all of us. Fast forward to present day. Nick is 21. He is in a wheelchair and still no cure. On January 2 of this year 2020, he had elective surgery on his colon. Surgery went well and we went home after a 5 day stay in the hospital. The second day home, Nick was in excruciating pain. We immediately head back to the hospital. Did I mention that it is about a two hour drive! Arrive at the hospital which consisted of 2 emergency surgeries where we almost lost him. 8 surgeries later and an ilestomy bag that helped save his life. It was just about 2 months staying in the hospital. We had to leave our 2 adult children without their mom, dad and brother. My husband had to go on a family leave with no pay from his job so we could be with our
