Just a Little Decorating… so far

You’ll find a few Halloween touches around our house, so far. I’ve painted our Front Porch chair a bright Autumn Orange, and I love displaying my favorite Black Cat Pot Holder in the kitchen.

There is a “scary” pumkin hanging in the Foyer window. Thade and Dylan picked out Super-cute Pumpkin Pie Pumpkins to display in the Dining Room. I have a feeling we won’t be carving these for Jack-O-Lanterns…

Thade loves the “scary” spider on the front door, I just hope it doesn’t scare Dylan too much… I hope to decorate the outdoors too. My Mom picked us up a Halloween Outdoor Display, and we still need to get two large pumpkins for the front porch. I am also leaning towards purchasing a few Fall Mums too, maybe.

Have you been decorating your home for Halloween?

Blissful Handwashed Dishes

On a recent shopping trip I needed to pick up dish washing liquid, fun shopping trip, I know. I gravitated towards my usual favorite Ajax Pink Grapefruit when I spotted something new… Palmolive Pure+Clear dish liquid. The price was right, it had a light fresh scent, no dyes, and with my super sensitive skin, I couldn’t resist.

I chose the Spring Fresh scent, and it smells so good. The light scent reminds me of the Apple Trees that I climbed as a little girl. The dye free dish liquid is also very easy on my hands and with all of the hand washing that I do, I really appreciate that.

If you give it a try, let me know what you think.

To Decorate or Not

I’ve been noticing Halloween decorations popping up in the stores, and all over town. I wonder if it is too early to start decorating? Part of me thinks that the First Day of October is a great day to start decorating for Halloween, but when I see itty bitty cute pumpkins, I just can’t wait!

When do you start decorating for the holidays? Do you start early or wait till the last minute?

On a side note: I’ve just returned from running the Morning errands, and Dollar General already has Christmas decorations out! So maybe its not too early to start decorating.
