Wedding guest books were originally a functional souvenir for the wedding couple that helped them remember who attended their big day event, organize thank you notes and even start a formal address book. This format has evolved into more of a memory keepsake for the newlyweds with signatures or little love notes from friends and family. Some people even incorporate Polaroid or photo booth snapshots into a "love note" collection. There are even wedding day-versions of "Mad Lips" to help loved ones share their thoughts on the newly-wedded couple.

Summertime is a great time for moving. Kids are out of
school, people are getting married, houses sell well, plus the weather is
usually good so your vintage leather sofa won’t get destroyed in Uncle Bob’s
pickup during a rain storm or on the way out to the moving van.Labels: DIY moving, how to move yourself, moving boxes, moving furniture, moving supplies, moving tips, packing tips, reusable moving boxes
Some retailers offer protection plans, find out what it
covers and how much it costs. Consumer Reports’ website has a great Mattress Buying Guide as well as a lot of extra
information. You may need to have a subscription to see all the ratings, but it’s
worth poking around to see what’s there.Labels: best mattress sales, how to buy a mattress, mattress buying guide, mattress buying tips, mattress sizes
Every few years the cycle starts all over. Seems like my friends
talk to each other and coordinate all their weddings and house warming parties together
in the same year. Then, there’s a space of a few years -- nothing! Until the
babies start to show up.
Bedding sets! It’s amazing how many people skimp on their
bedding or use hand-me-downs, especially if they are setting up a household. Shameless
plug: our Jennifer Adams Home sheet sets are not only luxurious and beautiful, they’re
easy care and not that expensive. Check out the website for special bridal sets
and basics, and watch for our rotating schedule at a Costco near you.Labels: bedding costco, housewarming gifts, wedding gift, wedding present

Cinco de Mayo originated in the American west in the 1860s as a way to commemorate the Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. As the event grew in popularity, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage.

Springtime, Memorial day, June weddings and July 4th… all are great reasons to start thinking about outdoor furniture. With the kids off from school and the relatives visiting by the busload, oh, and, the weather finally being nice, seating for everyone, or at least your family for a casual al fresco dinner is a lovely idea.

Just like indoor fireplaces, outdoor fireplaces draw your
eye and anchor a seating arrangement or dining area, especially if you don’t
have a view, water feature or a big dramatic planting in your yard.
Do you love pizza? Add a pizza oven above or in place of a wood burning

meats and much more. Los Angeles Oven Works’ website is full of some wonderful
ideas, recipes and photos, be sure to check them out for portable, freestanding
and site built wood burning options.Labels: fire pit ideas, outdoor fireplace ideas, outdoor fireplaces, outdoor pizza ovens, wood burning pizza ovens
4. Change the ground to help identify the space as different from the
yard. Like an area rug, a different material than the lawn, such as
stone pavers, gravel or brick, defines the extent of an outdoor room.Labels: decorate patio, outdoor furniture, outdoor kitchens, Outdoor rooms, outdoor seating areas, patio furniture, porches
