Bathroom Disaster
American Standard Rescue
Remember my terrible, awful, no good bathroom? Well, it is done, remodeled and refreshed and so much better --thanks to American Standard!

There are many great things about it, but the coolest feature is the built in step stool that slides out. This is perfect for little ones, as they can easily reach the sink when they need it. When they are done using the step, it easily slides back in.

Bloom Avenue
Brighten Up Your Day with a Beautiful Bouquet--Giveaway!

This past week has been an emotional one and I was not expecting these lovely blossoms when I walked in the door.

Usborne Books & More
Giveaway
Books are a passion of mine. I realized just how much, actually, when I was packing up my office this week for my new flooring. Boxes and boxes of books! To me, you can never have enough children's books. Looking back on the years I have been a mom, many of my memories reflect on sitting in a special spot reading to each of my boys. We have spent hours reading wonderful stories. Most of them read independently now, but I know all that time invested has brought about ...
