Whether you have a walk-in closet with ample storage or limited room in a smaller home, finding the right organizers for your closet size is key. They not only create an orderly closet system or wardrobe, but also maintain it long term.
To buy: $30 (was $60), amazon.com. The fleece has a front-zipper closure and a full collar that pops up for extra coverage when the jacket is zipped all the way up. It also has two side pockets to store your keys or phone. The classic style has elastic cuffs to keep cold air from seeping in the sleeves, and it also has a hem drawcord that lets you adjust the fit at the bottom....
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), it’s typical for people to shed between 50 and 100 hair strands a day—but whether you’re shedding a normal amount or permanently losing countless strands, it’s easy to become preoccupied with hair loss, especially as you age. It’s also easy to quickly spiral from “Maybe I’m brushing my hair too often” to “Yep, WebMD just confirmed my suspicions, I have some extremely rare illness and need to be quarantined ASAP....
In my experience, all backpacks are good—but there are definitely some backpacks that rise above the rest, and lately I’m finding that the Dagne Dover Dakota Backpack is one of those bags. There’s a time and a place for every type of backpack, of course. When I studied abroad in college, I had the standard backpacker’s backpack; when I was on campus, I had the classic college student’s North Face backpack....
While we may still cherish these sentiments and mantras, we predict that word art will fall out of favor in the 2020s. Homeowners and designers may focus on designing homes that evoke “Live, Laugh, Love,” rather than spell it out for us. While gray won’t disappear completely in the 2020s, the bland color will likely give way to cheerier colors. And we can see the difference already in the hues selected as Color of the Year....

I’m a big fan of gift baskets, especially when those gifts baskets are personalized to the people you’re gifting them to. It’s just a fun way to give people a lot of little things in one cute way. I’ve already shared gift baskets for out of the blue gift ideas, orange gifts, college care packages, get well soon gifts, and even chick flick gift baskets. So it’s about time that I share some fun Valentine’s gift basket ideas – complete with a free printable gift tag of course!...
Start by gathering ordinary sticks and twigs from the woods or your backyard. Combine with an inexpensive bamboo pole and twine from the home improvement store for a magically simple DIY witch broom. The one we built is perfectly sized for a grown-up witch, but adjust to a child’s size with a shorter bamboo pole or branch. Use this easy Halloween craft with other costume ideas, such as a “before” Cinderella, chimney sweep, pioneer, or colonist....
Okay so I admit it, I’m normally a box brownie mix girl. There’s just something magical about brownies from a box. But you know what – homemade brownies are way easier to make than you’d imagine. And they’re delicious too! These brownies are especially good for cutting into shapes, something I sometimes struggle with when it comes to boxed brownies. Cutting things into shapes works really well for things like ice cream sundaes, Mickey brownies, and more!...
Who’s ready for the fall and apple season? I know some people just skip apples and go for pumpkins, but I really do love a good crisp apple. And a good apple crumble but that’s another recipe entirely. I really love apples when they’re paired with some sort of caramel whether it be caramel apple nachos or this homemade caramel apple dip! Or just traditional caramel apples – I mean there are tons of caramel apple toppings options out there!...
If you’ve ever had a thumbprint cookie, a classic Christmas cookie, you’ll know how delicious they are! Some sort of sweet filling that contrasts the rest of the cookies gets placed in the center of the cookies for a delicious treat that everyone loves! These strawberry jam thumbprint cookies are one of my favorite treats to make all year round, not just at the holidays! They’re especially good during the summer when you can use fresh strawberry jam or strawberry preserves!...
Preparation is pretty straightforward. Traditional meatloaf usually calls for breadcrumbs to help bind the meat together with the egg. In this case, you’ll get added texture and flavor from the stuffing (especially if it includes extras like sausage and herbs). To avoid dry meatloaf, don’t skimp on the simple two-ingredient marmalade glaze, and make sure you let the meat rest before slicing.
I’ll be the first to admit that I can’t draw to save my life. I tried drawing Pokemon pictures for my son once and he declared me the worst. He even went so far as to tell me that it was so painful to watch me try to draw. Luckily in Pictionary you don’t have to really know how to draw. You can chicken scratch and stick figure your way to victory!...
One of my favorite things about our cruise on the Disney Dream in August was pirate night, or really pirate day. Pirate night on Disney Dream is just one of the things that made it so magical! Where else can you see thousands of people dressed up like pirates, go to a pirate and princess party, and even learn how to be part of a Mickey’s pirate crew yourself? I’ve been on a lot of cruises on different cruise lines, but Disney cruises definitely do entertainment best....
Don’t worry about hibernating socially once the first frost happens—just invest in a few smart ideas to welcome your friends over safely.
The Ultimate Game Day Party Guide Every year I send out an annual survey to my email subscribers to see what kind of posts I can write that will best help them. This year on the survey, one of the questions I asked was “what is the thing you find the hardest or need most help with for planning a party?” I received a whole variety of answer but within those answers, it seemed like people needed help with the same handful of things....
2022 Oscar Ballot Okay I’ll be the first to admit that the past year has been strange and this year’s Academy Awards honestly slipped my mind. I’m so used to it being in February near Super Bowl that it almost snuck up on me without having time to update this post for 2022! But with only a few weeks until the biggest night in Hollywood, this Academy Awards ballot is updated for 2022 and ready for your Oscars party!...
