Lauren Mollica

Those of you that know me well know that I’m a jewelry hoarder. I tend to wear long necklaces that have a charm on the end. My favorite are owls. I have a million owl necklaces.

The problem is that I have so many necklaces and no place to hang them or keep them organized. My problems are solved now that I have found Lauren Mollica though. At Lauren Mollica you’ll find jewelry and displays that can accommodate almost all your accessories. My favorite item is the sweeping tree organizer. I’m swooning hardcore for this one. It’s amazing! I have a wall in my bedroom right now that has been begging for something on it and this finally might be the piece I’ve been looking for.

Don’t let the price turn you away. This is handcrafted! That means it was made with love and special care. A person made that! It was not made in a factory. That’s why I love handmade.

Dell Cove Spice Company

Jeremy and I spent the weekend looking at new BBQ’s. We cook on the grill a lot. He’s a man obviously, so whatever he can cook on that grill he will. Sometimes I’m afraid that I’ll come home and find him making his famous banana pancakes on the grill Saturday morning. I kid. I kid. Still, it could happen? With three boys under 10 in the house and a man in this 30′s they can get into a lot of trouble if left alone!

I’ve started making mental notes of things I think would be a great addition to our new home. At the same time I can kill two birds with one stone and make them gifts for the holiday season. I found this magnetic spice kit for a grill and I think Jeremy would get a lot of use out of it. I would secretly use it as much as I could too!

The kit can be found at Dell Cove Spice Company. It comes with 10 magnetic glass top, food-grade tins. Each tin holds about 2 ounces of spices. Did I mention that the spices already come in the tins? Yep! An extra added bonus is that you don’t have to go buy a bunch of the rubs and spices yourself because they give you a jump start.

Such a clever idea and something I really wish I had in my own home.

Yevgenia

My absence has been missed I’m sure. I’ve been so busy I couldn’t tell which way was up. I’m happy to say that I’m still well and alive and I’m back extra early this morning to bring you a fun find that I made extra early this morning.

I’m usually not out of bed this early in the morning but I had a bit of trouble sleeping last night so when I did wake up I decided that although I’m not a coffee girl I was going to need coffee in order to make it through the day. My need for coffee allowed me to find Yevgenia and their cool eco friendly ceramic coffee cups.

This ceramic cup with silicon lid is eco-friendly alternative to sipping coffee or tea on the go! Just a bit of hot water and soap will keep this cup in good shape! Such an excellent way to help the environment!
