Mother’s Day Table
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m hosting Mother’s Day dinner this year and want you to see my simple but elegant table I put together. Normally I add a tablecloth but thought the white china and gold silverware looked rich against the wood table. Mr. TAL and I bought this table at Ethan Allen several years ago and it has hosted many Christmas dinners where I’ve covered it up with a festival tablecloth and decor. This year I’ll surprise everyone and keep it simple lol! My menu will consist of...

A Chemical Free Yard For Your Pet
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today was so beautiful with sunny skies that it made me want to go out and start my yard work (boy do I have a lot to do). I always consider the dogs when fertilizing and planting. We have a grub problem this year and I’m on the search for a pet safe solution to fix our problem. If you’ve got any ideas, I would love to hear them! Today we are talking about A Chemical Free Yard For Your Pet. I’ve done several posts on landscaping and toxic plants (see below)....
St. Patrick’s Day Table
Happy Wednesday everyone! Check out my fun St. Patrick’s Day tablescape I put together to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! I love this holiday but can never find many clover dishes or linens so I was very happy to come across these clover placemats and matching napkins at Home Goods. I love how the blues and greens blend together seamlessly with such vibrancy. With the white Corelle dishes from Walmart, my color scheme came together quickly. Every year Mr. TAL and I celebrate by going...
The Perfect Valentine’s Day Table For Four
Happy Monday everyone! Happy Valentine's Week! The Perfect Valentine’s Day Table For Four is a combination of reds, pinks, whites, blacks and has something sweet and something salty to enjoy! There is no shortage of towels, napkins, toothpicks, flowers, and a special drink made with cotton candy.

How To Decorate Your Christmas Tree
Happy Friday everyone! We are day 16 into The 24 Days Before Christmas and I’m talking about How To Decorate Your Christmas Tree. Do you search Pinterest looking for inspiration, find something you love, and then think…how did they do that? After all the searching and looking, I kinda did my own thing. Mr. TAL and I put up two trees this year and I wanted to use what we had before I went out and bought everything new. I made a few updates by buying sticks, bulbs, tree skirts, and garland...

My previous Christmas tables are here...

How To Make A Bow Tutorial And Video
Happy Wednesday everyone! As promised, here is my How To Make A Bow Tutorial And Video! This is only my second tutorial and I'm in much need of some practice but I tried my best not to confuse you. I angled the camera so that it would look as if you were standing behind me looking over me rather than in front of me. I once had someone try and show me how to make a bow while standing directly in front of me and I just couldn’t get it so I taught myself. Yes, I’m self taught and hope that...
