Most Dads are known for their no-nonsense, practical approach to gifts. They like gifts to have a use, not just take up space. I enjoy sharing gift ideas that you can get inspiration from, or make a purchase immediately to help free up your time. Here are six practical gift ideas for all the Dads on your list.
I couldn’t let the last Friday of the month go by without hosting another giveaway, so I waited to share my thoughts on the recently published book Plants with Superpowers by David Domoney. If you’d like to learn about seventy-five remarkable plants for your garden and home, read on.
Are you living GF? Or, do you have a loved one or friend who follows a gluten-free diet? If so, you may already know that May is National Celiac Awareness Month. I was recently asked if I’d like to help raise awareness and show support for those living with celiac disease and gluten intolerance by sharing a brand that offers certified gluten-free products.
As I was adding this book review to my editorial planner, I thought, "It’s not very often there’s a weekday in the name of a book title, so I should honor that by posting on that day!" Happy Wednesday, dear readers, I’m excited to share a refreshing Champagne Bowler recipe from Wednesday Night Wine-Down by Jennifer Newens with you today.
As a freelance Blogger and Content Creator, at this time of year, my mind is full of financial jargon because I prep my tax paperwork to bring to our accountant. While taxes and tax season can be stressful, I was happy to recently learn that April is National Financial Literacy Month. I’ve got three free resources to share today that will help us make solid financial decisions that our future selves will thank us for.
Earlier this week, I found myself covering my plants due to a freeze warning in our area. I knew it was coming because I’d been reading the 2025 edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which states our last freeze date is April 15, 2025. If you’re ready to welcome spring gardening, read about The Old Farmer’s Almanac's three handy gardening books.
Talking about sick children with cancer isn’t a topic I normally cover here on my blog, but watching and reviewing films is. Today, those two topics collide as I share my no-spoiler review of Audrey’s Children, a biopic film that takes on children’s cancer in 1969. Since this is a no-spoiler review, I won’t go into much detail about the children, but please stop reading here if this topic is upsetting.

As we get ready to welcome spring and the fun celebrations of the season, I’m reminded again of how often cocktails and mocktails are a part of these annual gatherings. I was delighted to have the opportunity to review a new book, Cocktails Southern Style by Belinda Smith-Sullivan, and share her Southern Mule Recipe with you today.
Much of the country is still dealing with the last winter storm that had us using terms like “polar vortex” and “record-breaking snowfall”, but for those of us who garden, we’re counting down the days until spring arrives! If you dream of growing flowers by the armful like me, today’s book review for The Cut Flower Handbook by Lisa Mason Ziegler is for you.
Happy Monday readers. I’m excited to be able to combine two things I love to share with you in one post today- a new movie for you to add to your watch list and an awesome giveaway! How’s that for a cool way to kick off 2025?

As you know, I love holiday films, having reviewed Red One with Dwayne Johnson and A Sudden Case of Christmas with Danny DeVito last month. I will add my two cents on Dear Santa with Jack Black very soon. Today’s review is for a film that won’t give you the warm fuzzies like most of Hugh Grant’s films do (hello holiday classic Love, Actually, Happy 20th!). Prepare yourself to see Hugh Grant in a whole new light in Heretic.
Happy Friday! Since it’s been a while since I hosted a book giveaway, I thought I’d surprise you today with a chance to win a copy of Kitchen Garden Living, by Bailey Van Tassel. If you’re ready to have a beautiful, bountiful food garden, this guide to seasonal growing and eating is for you.
Happy Holidays dear readers. I’m excited for today’s gift guide because I love films and I know so many of you do as well. I have a film suggestion for everyone in the family in this gift guide. There’s two new release films, two classic films, and one horror film.
It’s the last day of November, so it’s time for me to kick off the holidays with my first of the season giveaway! If you read my last post about Red One, then you probably know just how much I love holiday films! A Sudden case of Christmas is full of holiday charm, so I’m thrilled to introduce you to this film and host a DVD giveaway with three winners.
Today I’m sharing six practical gift ideas for women as a kick off to the holiday shopping season. I know practicality may seem a little boring, but as a woman that receives and gives my share of gifts each year, I can attest to the excitement of receiving something I need and will use.
It’s the last day of October and I feel like this month had wings because it went by so quickly. I wish all who celebrate a very happy and safe Halloween. If you don’t have plans for Friday, or the weekend, I’ve got a film suggestion for you. Lost On A Mountain In Maine, which opens in theaters tomorrow November 1st will have you feeling connected to home just in time for the holidays.

With Spooky season going strong, I’m excited to partner with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon to host a giveaway today for Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Limited Series Three Season Collection is Available Now on DVD!
It feels and looks very fall like today in Nashville, TN. area because the remnants of Hurricane Helene showed up here before sunrise. We’re blessed to be okay and I send out well wishes for all who were in the path of it. Even though I didn’t hit my goal of a weekly Friday Faves post this month like I shared on Labor Day, I’m happy to be sharing my second today and will try again in October.
Happy Friday dear readers. I hope you are enjoying the last few days of summer as much as I am. Even though it's gotten hot here again, I’m turning my thoughts towards fall gardening and homemaking. Last month, I was honored to become an ambassador for Storey Publishing, so today’s book is the first of what I hope to be many collaborations with it for them. Today's review is about the beloved herb Lavender. It's a staple in my here garden.
As a Quarto Books ambassador, I get the privilege of being introduced to books and authors I may not otherwise know, or read. Such is the case with today’s book Make Art or Die Trying by Stuart Semple. I love art, and have a creative side, but Stuart's approach to harnessing the power of creative ideas to create art to change your life and community is a refreshing take on this subject. Read on to learn about Temples art and enter the giveaway for a prize bundle with three winners.
