Easter Table Ideas 2020
Has everyone been enjoying their time away from the office or are you getting stir crazy? Life really hasn’t changed for us except that Thomas’ travel has been cancelled through May! We are loving life at home together; he in his office and me in mine being productive. We get to meet (in the kitchen) for lunch every day and dinner is exactly 5:00 :-). The dogs are getting walked twice a day instead of once and we are practicing our social distancing! I realized today that Easter is Sunday,...
20 Activities And Cleaning Tips To Help You Get Through The Coronavirus Quarantine
I have been debating whether to blog about the coronavirus because we have been inidated with hearing it on the news and in discussions with friends and family. Firstly, my heart goes out to those who are suffering and sick right now and to those who have lost a loved one due to this virus. I also want to send a special message to those who are helping to save lives and my gratitude goes out to all of you. I am also sending blessings to those who are fighting to save our sweet animals who...
4 Easy Steps To Help You Get Organized
Happy Thursday everyone! What a week it has been! I’m rushing spring to get here and have been spring cleaning all week! I set out on a mission to organize all of our closets and drawers and finished up with that today! One of my items on my bucket list for 2020 was to prioritize my time better and by doing that, I have been making a “To Do” list. What a difference it has made in what I’m able to accomplish. I even made my spring wreath earlier this year and put it on the front door...
Meaningful Ways To Celebrate New Year’s Day
This is a re-post with photos taken throughout 2022 and updated blog posts at the bottom. We've reached The 24 Days Before Christmas which means New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is next up! What goals did you make for yourself? Do you make resolutions? I'm wishing you all a wonderful holiday, holidays, and a wonderful 2023. I have to admit that when I was younger, it didn’t much matter to me if I celebrated New Year’s Day or not. As I’ve gotten older, I started looking forward to...

One more day until Christmas Eve! Thomas and I have done our grocery shopping and now we are baking! I won't be blogging for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I know everyone is busy and will be tired from the holidays but I wanted to send some older posts your way. These recipes turned out great and we had so much fun making them! Cheese Raviolis, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, and Sugar Cookies for us and treats for the dogs! https://twoadorablelabs.com/three-cheese-ravioli/...
Gift Wrapping Ideas + How To Make A Bow Videos
This is a re-post with updated information and links. Happy Monday everyone! We are day 12 into The 24 Days Before Christmas and I’m finishing up my post on How To Make A Bow Using Two Ribbons. Per my last post “How To Make A Bow” with instructions and video, I wanted to include the second phase of videos in this previous post I did a few years ago on Gift Wrapping Ideas. I though it would be fun to incorporate how to make a bow with two different sizes and patterns. I love ribbon and when I...
How To Create An Elegant Christmas Table
I have been very organized this year with decorating and buying gifts. I even set two holidays tables and can't wait for you to see all the pictures I've included in this post of our dining room table! The only thing I have to do now is grocery shop and cook Christmas dinner! Well, actually we are having a brunch with my parents, sister and brother-in-law! Later, Thomas and I enjoy the tree being on, Christmas movies, Jake and Maggie playing with their new Christmas toys, and a plate of...

These are the pictures of our kitchen table of a more casual look which I’m so excited to show you. I will blog about our dining room table with a formal look on Saturday.

Candle Making At Yankee Candle
I’ve been saying for a very long time that I want to learn how to make candles and well…I finally did it! Woo hoo! The Mall at Robinson in Robinson, PA has a Yankee Candle store set up where you can go to, choose your favorite scent or scents and make your own custom candle. I’ve had this action item on my bucket list for a long time and now have created a Chocolate, Whipped Cream, Caramel candle called “Maggie Rose Jake Thomas” that Thomas and I are going to burn Friday night. Why Friday...
Holiday Gift Ideas Part 3
I had plans to send out one post of Holiday Gift Ideas and ended up with three posts. I woke up this morning thinking of more ideas and just had to put a list together for you. Christmas has become less personal over the years and I wanted to put some ideas together that are more personal and with more of a homemade crafty feel. I’m also including some gift ideas that Thomas and I have been given and have given that we really loved. I really hope that I have helped give you some ideas if...
Holiday Gift Ideas Part 2
I hope you enjoyed my previous post on Holiday Gift Ideas and wanted to share more with you. It all depends on how much you want to spend and how elaborate you want to go, but here are some gift basket ideas that might appeal to you. And we must not forget to give the gift receipts just incase your friends and family need to return anything! I never get offended when someone returns my gift. I want them to enjoy it and if they don’t like it, I want them to get something that they will...
Holiday Gift Ideas
The stores are in full throttle on promoting all their sales and I’m finally checking off an action item of putting together a post of gift ideas. I was even more inspired after having lunch with a friend who was trying to decide what to get someone in her family and decided that Saturday I wanted to put together some ideas for you all. I started my day with a plan of getting a post out this morning but that got derailed when Thomas wanted steak salads for lunch and I bought CHICKEN...
