Last weekend I purchased these adorable little desk calendars. Desk Calendars available at 1canoe2.com They were both so cute that I couldn’t choose just one.

How to Make a Boxwood Wreath
This will be our fifth winter living in our bungalow (oh, how the time flies 🙂 ). During each of the previous winter seasons, I’ve placed a synthetic green wreath on the front door both for the convenience and longevity of it. (Not to mention that our focus these past few years has been on acquiring essentials for the home…
