Primitive Country Wood White Welcome Owl Sign




When decorating or planning a new look at lot can go into that from deciding on a design or theme to actually finding what you would like.

In this case I just wanted something nice for our door to our room, but after receiving this to review, I learned that our Church's new nursery will revolve around owls and other woodland creatures so I am going to donate this to them for the nursery door.

This was packaged well and in the right light looks more like the top picture then the picture I was able to get from my tablet. I just love the sparkly eyes on the owls. The sign is well made with a sturdy attached wire hanger.

This is a great addition for the owl lover in your family that would have been my late Aunt Anna. She just adored Owls they were everywhere in her home.

You can find the Primitive Country Wood White Welcome Owl Sign on Amazon.

Mrs. Meyer's Basil Hand Soap and Hand Lotion review




Being a blogger and getting things for free for my opinion go hand in hand. With Mrs. Meyer's that was in more ways then one. When I first learned I was getting the Basil hand soap and lotion I was skeptical because frankly I thought I would end up smelling like Italian seasoning, 

As soon as it came we opened it up took pictures and then took a whiff to see what it smelled like. I am happy to say it does not smell like Italian seasoning at all. It had a sweet scent that is pleasant to smell. 

I quickly added these to our bathroom. With the hand soap one pump will wash your hands and lower arms so if you don't have to worry about double or triple pumping to get enough to use. I find that the lotion also has the same results. I am able to lotion my hands and lower arms with one pump. I usually let it set in a bit and sometimes reapply before going out for the day. 

Now when I leave the bathroom I feel pampered each and every time I use my Mrs. Meyers hand soap and lotion. You can buy the lotion and hand soap separately or you can save a dollar and buy them as a set. 

If you aren't into Basil no matter what Mrs. Meyers has you covered they have many scents available and if you want to outfit your whole home with the same scent they have you covered there from laundry soap to dish detergent. Mrs Meyers even has candles. 

You can find their whole line on Mrs Meyers where you can shop by scent or product. Our family gives Mrs. Meyers a thumbs up on being both functional and creative.

A Wedding Ring of my Dreams



I have been married to my husband for 26 plus years and counting. A while back I lost the diamond out of my engagement ring and then later put on weight losing the ability to wear my wedding ring. We have looked, bought, and returned many rings since then with none quite fitting the bill. 

Then Jeulia came across our paths and boy oh boy are their rings beautiful. I am now the proud owner of a Jeulia 3PC 3.0 CT Radiant Cut Created White Sapphire Wedding Set. It is gorgeous on it's own but looks even better on my finger. The pictures just don't do it justice.

This is an affordable ring that is both beautiful and functional. If you want sparkle this is the ring for you, and apparently for me too. I wish we had known about this company years ago. This was shipped to me with signature confirmation. 

Packaging to say the least was impressive. It all comes in a Jewelry type drawer. You can give it as is or open the bottom drawer to find a pretty gift bag, with gift card if needed, and a cloth to keep your ring shining bright. Then open the top drawer and find a lovely ring box with the 3 piece set inside. 

From new marriages to older marriages and everything in between. Great replacement for lost rings or rings or rings that have been outgrown. Don't worry if you are not in the market for wedding sets there are lots of other options available but if you are interested this ring can be found here.

Pizza Dip Marksville Style


I know others have posted pizza dip recipes, and I looked up a bunch till I found out more about how to prepare and then did it up Marksville style. Some use crock pots, microwaves, stove top, or even ovens. I chose oven.


Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup pizza sauce
2 ounces sliced Hormel pepperoni

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Spread the cream cheese over the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Top with  ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella and ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese.
3. Spread the pizza sauce on top of the cheeses, and then top with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese.
4. Top with pepperoni slices.
5. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

You can always add olives, green peppers, ham, pineapple or anything else you might like on your pizza on top. Use your imagination. All I can say is that my family gobbled this up and have been asking for me to make it again.
