Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
Today is Small Business Saturday! Across the country people are supporting small business by shopping small! I’m happy to call myself a small business owner; apart from my blog and content services, I also have an Etsy shop. It feels good to be able to do something creative and use my talents to make money for my family, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity that I have a to a work from home mom! [Read more…]

I hope you’re having a lovely holiday week, and I appreciate you taking the time away from your holiday festivities to spend a moment with us.

Hello everyone! Welcome to this week’s Friday Favorites party! This week we have a very special edition. Not only have our hostesses picked some fantastic holiday ideas for you to take a look at, but we also have a giveaway for you this week! Yay!
The giveaway is for something that’s handmade…it follows under the category of holiday decor…and it comes to you from our friend and Friday Favorites hostess Dawn of LeroyLime. Dawn has been hosting Friday Favorites with me for nearly a year, and she was a regular visitor to the party long before then. She is also an avid crafter with her own Etsy shop, and I’m very excited to feature her shop here today!
Please check out the giveaway below; you can get 5 entries just for linking up a post this week! But if you don’t have a blog, that’s okay too! There are a lot of other entries that don’t require you to participate in the party (although we’d love to have you!).

When I go out shopping these days, the aisles are decked with Christmas decorations and great gift ideas. I can’t help but get in the spirit of the season and start planning my holiday shopping list. And as I get ready to prepare my gift list, I always include my four legged family members! The Simply Sweet Home dog and cats get a stocking each year, filled with food, treats, and toys. And we have a good time watching as they receive these gifts. Today I’m going to show you how a few products from Purina can help you to make your pets Christmas merry and bright! And I’m going to share a tutorial for a DIY Pet Blanket, the perfect handmade gift for your dog or cat.

The holiday season is almost here! (Or is it here already?) And with that, comes holiday baking and snacking! When you’re an on-the-go mom, you don’t always have time to spend a whole day in the kitchen baking up something for the family Thanksgiving or the church potluck. Luckily NESTLÉ® is here to save a day with whole host of baking staples and creative products that make holiday baking easy and fun! Today’s featured recipe is actually two recipes in one. I’ll be sharing a recipe for Pumpkin Muffins, and then I’ll show you how can transform those muffins in to Tres Leches Cupcakes. [Read more…]

As you know, I have quite the collection of fur babies, and I love them all! If you love your fur babies as much as I love mine, I’m sure you give them everything they need: good food, a nice place to sleep, toys, proper vaccines and medicications, and of course, a lot of love! But what about insurance? If something happened to your furry friend, would you be able to take care of the expenses? Healthy Paws Pet Insurance® may be the solution you are looking for to give you the peace of mind you need and the ability to take care of your pet in times of an accident or poor health.

I’m so excited to report that I’ve officially joined the beauty box craze. Earlier this week I received my very first Target Beauty Box. Target’s Beauty Box comes out each month. It is not a subscription program, but is instead an item that you have to go on the Target website and purchase each month. The Beauty Box sells for a $10 flat fee, plus tax. (My cost $10.90.) The box is available for sale at the first of the month, generally on a Thursday, and if you subscribe to Target’s ad by email, you will receive notice when it is available for purchase. [Read more…]
Hello everyone! Happy November! I’m so glad that you decided to stop by for this week’s party! This week we have a great mix of featured posts, including Thanksgiving food, fall and general decor, and even a hint of Christmas! My pick comes to you from Simply Stacie. It is a Turkey, Cranberry, & Brie Quesadilla. I love this, because it looks like a gourmet bistro style lunch item, but it is so simple to make! And it’s also a great idea for using that leftover Thanksgiving turkey!

Along came a spider, Who sat down beside her, And frightened Miss Muffet away…
Are you like Miss Muffet and me? Are spiders your arch nemesis? Then today’s post is definitely for you!
Here in the South, we never really get a full break from pests like spiders. And even though we have a professional who does pest control at our home each month, we still get a variety of spiders in our home. I can squash the little ones with a shoe, but when I see bigger ones, it freaks me out! Today I’m sharing a product that I hope will keep the spiders, large and small, from coming around again! The product is called Stay Away Spiders, and it comes from EarthKind Natural Pest Prevention. [Read more…]
