Typically, I suck when it comes to staging for photos and I really love photos around this time of year, so take a look at some delightful homes for the holidays and share your tips as well! 1.) Don't Go All Out. Keep it simple, elegant and classy. Less is More! 2.) Grab some things that you can mix and match! Nothing has to be the same! 3.) White is Wonderful but add some colors! 4.) I appreciate white backgrounds versus colored because you can see the items you're trying to show off way better! 5.) BRING THE OUTDOORS IN- add some branches or pick a few flowers to throw in an old mug/glass. It's amazing what the nature from outside looks like and it makes you feel tons better! Mood enhancer! 6.) Toss wine into a photo and it's smooth sailing! 7.) Take the photo a little closer, cutting off parts of the item. 8.) Lighting is so important. Dark rooms reek ugly. Open window curtains, blinds and turn the lights on. 9.) Turn off your flash. Better photos are...

i have the best time photo shooting Jack, our maltese | lhasa mutt! he's such a funny butt. Hope he makes you smile!

Christmas is right around the corner and I'm far from the materialistic, go all out and splurge on unnecessary, unwanted gifts anyways! Who else is with me on being simple, creative and CHEAP??? In my book, there is nothing more special than a homemade, creative gift to shower your loved ones with and on a budget, since times are tough for a lot of people! Besides, they're more fun this way!!!! 1.) Fill a Mason Jar . Last year I filled a vintage jar with a ton of pennies. Who doesn't have a crap load of pennies lying around? I placed a craft labeling tag around the twine and wrote, "LUCKY PENNY JAR" on it. She absolutely loved it! You can fill it with anything: ex: old pics of you two, keys, marbles, food|dessert ingredients, gumballs, candy, love letters on post it notes, bath accessories, just to name a few!!  2.) Bake Cookies . Baking is one of the best gifts ever and so inexpensive! bake a dessert and package it for gift giving! 3.) Puzzles . Who d...

it's rather frustrating when life starts to pile up and interfere with our blogs, eh?! i mean this is our baby, right?!!! no, not really? ok!...... let's help maximize your time because we all know that time goes by way too fast in one day to get all we need to get done, done!!!! work, family and writing a blog is important to us and we sometimes have to figure out how to love them all and keep an equilibrium between them. some days are easier than others but if we plan ahead, we'll get the most for our leisure: 1.) Set Goals. I used to be a 'go with the flow' type of blogger but as I get more involved with more things in my life, I have to really think ahead and situate my priorities. So I set goals. One of my most recent goals is to post more! In order to post more, I'd need to get the most out of my time blogging which led to this post!
