Friday, oh how I love you! I was at a meeting for most of the day but I wanted to end my week with a Shelter Loves post! It just wouldn't feel complete without it. Here is what is on my radar! 1. These fabulous baskets by artist Eliza Gran . She sells them at a number of shops. I love Amber's colorful shop, she has them too !! They would make a fun Easter basket!! 2. So true!!

Happy Thursday!! I just wanted to take a moment to share my USA Network commercial for Valspar paint with you. It is such a pleasure to work for Ace Hardware ! If you tune into USA at all maybe you'll catch my chat with Cat. Ace Hardware has a beautiful selection of Valspar paints! Here is the link to the commercial . Here is a peek of Cat and I on her stoop. Her show, Talk Stoop , is great, btw!

You know I have a love for smaller homes that are beautifully finished. They tend to pack a punch but don't take as much time to maintain! California Bungalows are up there as one of my favorites. In fact, I'd most likely move out west if I didn't worship my family here in Massachusetts. (I also can't leave now until my children are 18) Don't get me wrong there are so many things I love about the Boston area but after this winter a longer warm season would be much appreciated!! This lovely home is that of comedic writer Erin Foster. Her new show, Barely Famous , airs on VH1. I'm loving the light, layered style. It feels fresh, updated and attainable. I was actually working on a project today with a similar feel! Erin hired designers from the company Spruce . I also have to mention that DOMAINE is one of my favorite online design magazines! They never disappoint! I think I'll be tuning into her show tonight @9:30/8:30Central.

 It is an understatement to say that I am dying to get out and work on my yard! I always enjoy planting new flowers and re-freshening the front of my house. I think this year I am going to keep it simple and go with two planters and two boxwoods. I may even go so crazy as to plant a few flowers around the boxwoods! Here is some planter curb appeal inspo and a planter round-up. I like the idea of zinc, ceramic or wood versions. I steered away from the $600 + planters..Yikes! These are all pretty budget conscious. I am personally leaning towards #4 - without the wood stand or #6. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4  - sans the stand!! / 5 / 6 / 7

Lately, I awake every morning wishing for a warm day....It has yet to happen. So. I'm going with my second option =   create my own sunshine !!  I've decided to kick off the week with a bit of bright and sunny. Today's post is inspired by Furbish Studio's "When life gives you lemons"  print.  I love lemony yellow, especially when paired with neutrals such as grey, white and navy. 1. I keep reading about the benefits of drinking lemon water . I've decided to start each morning with a freshly squeezed glass. (I'm drinking one now) 2. I just ordered my daughter's Easter dress. Mini Boden has an adorable selection of girl's dresses. 3. Pale grey and lemon is a no brainer color combo. I loved the home tour of Susan Greenleaf's San Francisco home. 4. Layered cardigans will add a Springy note to your neutral clothing staples! These are both from J. Crew. Cardigan ( top + bottom )

Happy Friday and first day of Spring!!  (Whaaaaa? Could have fooled me) I have a cold and this morning I was dealing a very unhappy little five year old. (She wanted to stay home) but the afternoon is looking up ! I have plans for a quiet evening, which I am thrilled about. Matty is off to watch bball with all of his basketball buddies. I plan to sit in with my kiddos and some childhood friends! Every week, I am continually looking for inspiration for my projects, designs, wardrobe.. Here are the moments that made me happy this week and cheered me up this a.m.! ( I needed it, grrr ) 1. If I was independently wealthy I would do a slew of things but one would be to bake more "pretty" treats with my daughter. She loves to cook and bake. I just have a hard time trying to fit in much baking these days. This cake is so sweet, it's a little piece of sculpture. The recipe and design instructions are  here . Creating something beautiful from scratch is one of my favorite things to...

If you like sport fishing, you surely will like to fish for redfish. Redfish is a common name for a range of species of fish throughout the English-speaking world. It is commonly applied to members of the deep-sea genus Sebastes, or the reef dwelling snappers, Lutjanus. It is also applied to the slimeheads or roughies (family Trachichthyidae), and the alfonsinos (Berycidae). This feisty species is one of the best fighters in the inshore spectrum and, if cooked correctly, a great addition to the barbeque menu. Even some restaurants have adopted the fish as a specialty. For example, at the famous Redfish Seafood Grill and Bar on Bourbon Street, New Orleans, they headline, “At Redfish, we serve up a parade of award-winning French Quarter specialties, including classics like Blackened Redfish, Crawfish Etouffee and Jambalaya.” Young redfish, or red drum as they are often called, feed in the shallows on clams, crabs, mussels and shrimp. Red drum are an inshore species u...

Catch and release is a practice within recreational angling intended as a act of conservation. After a fish is caught it is unhooked and returned to the water before exhaustion or serious injury. The history of catch and release dates back to more than a century ago in England, preventing targeted species from being eliminated in heavily fished waters. Early in the 1950’s catch and release was first introduced in the U.S. as a fish management tool in the state of Michigan for hatchery raised trout. Anglers accepted the idea fishing for fun rather than food. In Canada catch and release is mandatory for some species and require the use of barbless hooks to facilitate release and minimize injury. Today catch and release is practiced by most all anglers, fishing guides, and promoted by fishing based organizations for Muskie, Walleye and Bass ensuring healthy fish populations for the future. Here is a guideline for the key aspects of catch and release   Use the correct...

Ditulis oleh Safran Yusri    Apakah terumbu karang? Terumbu Karang adalah bangunan ribuan karang yang menjadi tempat hidup berbagai ikan dan makhluk laut lainnya. Bayangkanlah terumbu karang sebagai sebuah kota yang sangat sibuk, bangunannya terdiri dari karang-karang, dengan ikan-ikan dan makhluk laut sebagai penghuninya. Apakah karang itu? Karang yang hidup di laut, tampak terlihat seperti batuan atau tanaman. Tetapi mereka sebenarnya adalah sekumpulan hewan-hewan kecil yang dinamakan polip. Ada dua macam karang, yaitu karang batu (hard corals) dan karang lunak (soft corals). Karang batu merupakan karang pembentuk terumbu karena tubuhnya yang keras seperti batu. Kerangkanya terbuat dari kalsium karbonat atau zat kapur. Karang baru bekerja sama dengan alga yang disebut zooxanthellae. Karang batu hanya hidup di perairan dangkal dimana sinar matahari masih didapatkan. Karang lunak bentuknya seperti tanaman dan ti...
