Today I have had the luxury (not to brag or anything!) or being able to stay home for a few hours and get stuff done. My plan was to get some computer work finished and wrap the gifts that I need to send to friends and family across the country. I loaded all the...

I have a friend, who is also a business partner with me at Belle Maison. She is savvy, sharp and spectacular. She is the type who can pull off leather leggings. She has this on her front porch. She simply repurposed a tomato cage by turning it upside down in a...

Oh, are you ever going to thank me for this one! There is an app for everything! Because I only have 20 more shopping days until Christmas (pull yourself together), I need all of the help I can get. One of our special readers, Kathy Johnson, shared it with me. It...

I love to bake. Sometimes the mood strikes, and I bake even though there are a million other things to do. I made this little beauty the other night, and you can ask my neighbor, Amy Brake, about it – she loved it! It is a Ree Drummond recipe with itty bitty...

I’m feeling a little angry. I realize it’s for a silly reason…but if I’m being truthful (and you know I must), I’m frankly irritated. I had the TV on while I was working and an ad caught my eye. It was one of those commercials that say...
