The fact that she crocheted these doilies herself make them even more special to me, so I decided early on to bring them out only during the holidays to preserve their beauty. Sadly, there was a staining mishap the last time I had them out. I didn’t realize there was a stain until the next day, so it set in and I was afraid it may never come out until I remembered, I’m a Biz Stain Fighter Ambassador! Read on to see how you can prep your holiday linens with Biz just like I did.

Sugaring Off by Gillian French| Book Review
Confession time, I didn’t read one YA book last year! Looking back over the titles I read and reviewed in 2022, I saw I’d shared lots of self-help, how-to’s and gardening books instead. Don’t get me wrong, I adore those genres and will continue to share them, but I also want to add some other genres to the mix, including fun YA titles. Today. I’m reviewing my first YA book of 2023, Sugaring Off, by Gillian French. This is my first book of hers I’ve read as well, but hopefully, I’ll be sharing more of her work this year.
First Book Review of 2023!

10 No Tech Holiday Gift Ideas Sure To Please
In an effort to not rush headlong into everything Christmas, I waited until I knew most people had started holiday shopping, or at the very least, asking for their loved ones' gift lists. This year has found me enjoying offline hobbies and events, which led me to compile 10 no tech holiday gift ideas sure to please most adults on your list. This is a switch from my previous holiday gift idea lists because I’m not covering kids' gifts. As an almost empty nester, it’s going to be a few years before I need to shop for little ones again.

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.

Happy Leap Year: What will you do with your extra day this Thursday?
We are almost to the end of what is usually a long winter month for me. The weather is a rollercoaster ride here in middle Tennessee, with beautiful spring-like days that have me itching to garden, only to have nights dipping back into the 20s. We have multiple “winters” here in the South, so rather than dwelling on them, I’ve chosen to celebrate Leap Year and share what I’ll be doing with my extra day. I hope my post will help you productively use the extra day.

Chill drinks easily: NewAir Anniversary Series limited edition 100 Can beverage Fridge
If you’ve followed
my blog or socials for the last couple of years, you’ll recognize the NewAir
name because I’ve reviewed several of their products. From a portable heater that’s
perfect for taking the chill out of a guest room, a space saving wine fridge, to their
popular counter top clear ice maker, I’ve had a
wonderful experience with this brand. I was delighted recently when I was asked
to become an NewAir Ambassador and help them celebrate their 20th anniversary
by reviewing the NewAir Anniversary Series limited edition 100 Can
beverage Fridge which helps chill drinks easily.
