Jenna at Avant Gardenia just keeps cranking out super cool things. I could see so many uses for these fun flower balls at your next event. The texture is so rich on them I just want to reach through the screen and touch them!

Friday Give Away: Natural Bug Killer
I am SO excited today to share with my readers UD’s first official give away!!
Spring is in the air! I can smell it and feel it! That mean warm weather is just around the corner which also means the arrival of bugs. J and I had a conversation the other night about how we are going to need to come up with some more natural alternatives for pest control for the home now that we have Berkley. But before I could do much research the fabulous people over at EcoSmart contacted me offering a free “Safe Home Value Bundle” to share with one of my readers!!
EcoSmart offers a variety of safe pest control solutions that are based on the natural defences that plants and trees use for their self protection against insects. The botanical oil blends used in their products are a natural bug killer that has no adverse effect on humans or pets and will not contaminate water sources. 
Contest Details:
The winner of this contest will receive a Safe Home Pest Control Bundle ($31 value)!! The Safe Home Value Bundle includes:
– Ant and Roach Killer (14 oz can)
– Home Pest Control (24 oz spray bottle)
– Flying Insect Killer (14 oz can)
– Insect Repellent (6 oz bottle)
Post a comment below by March 18th at 12:00 a.m. CT sharing why you want/need the value bundle. I will select a winner on Friday March 19th and contact them with the details of how to collect the bundle. (please note that this contest is open to all readers in the US, except those in AK & HI)
The Mullet Dress
Apparently the term “mullet” no longer just describes a bad hair style but now also describes a new trend in bridal gowns! That cracks me up!
DIY Mason Jar Chandelier
Another fabulous idea that helps fuel my love of the mason jar!!! This DIY mason jar chandelier is so cool and I wish I was dining at that table right now! Yummy!

Berkley Post Surgery
I wanted to take a minute to give an update on Berkley
**We would also like to send a HUGE thank you to Dr. Stephen Juriga and all of his staff at River Heights Veterinary Clinic for taking the time to turn what was a scary experience into a much more bearable one. They have an amazing team that spent more than an hour with us at our initial visit, gave us plenty of information to help us understand what
Men’s Rings
When we got married picking a ring out for J was one of the harder wedding planning tasks. He is VERY picky to say the least and knew he didn’t want diamonds. I recently happened to stumble across Kohl’s selection of men's rings and am kind of shocked at the variety they have. I usually don’t shop there nor would have ever looked there but wow impressive!!
Family Feud Party
I mean who doesn’t love family feud?? If you are looking for a fun theme for an upcoming party this looks like a blast!
Clear Chairs
What do we think about clear chairs? They work in this room and the clean up on them would be awesome!! Still not sure I can pull them off though.

Honey Flights
My husband is a honey-aholic! He puts it on everything and anything! These honey flights from Bee Raw Honey would be the perfect unexpected gift. They come in different flavors and they even have a flight that is made to pair with cheese! I just might have to get some honey for my honey!
Whisper Rings
The name of these rings, Whisper Rings, fits them perfectly! They so fun!! You can actually enter to win a free set of them at The Bright Side Project today. Fingers crossed they pick me (or one of my readersJ)!!!

Save the date Decoder
Maybe it is the little kid in me but I think that this decoder invited featured on Ruffled is too fun! I could even see sending these out for a kid’s birthday party or a mystery themed party! The best part is that the bride made them entirely herself!
“I did all the printing of the cards, envelopes, and stickers myself on a home inkjet and on a large-format printer, and we bought the decoder glasses online for about 20 cents a piece.”

How fun are these old windows as an alternative seating chart for an event!? Plus they are something you can totally use again and a green alternative to paper escort cards!

Spanx Swimsuits
Hello!!! I am back!!
Sorry for the break in action we had a bit of a rough week last week but are getting back to normal now. Berkley is doing better and I promise to update you more on him later in the week. For now we are working on getting back into our “family groove” and focusing on things we love to do for us. One of those things is swimming so I was totally geeked when I saw that Spanx has come out with a new swimsuit line!! They have me rethinking one-piece bathing suits and craving warm weather!

Update on Berkley
For those that know me know my “real” job is related to dentistry and that is why I find this whole teeth/gum thing with Berkley so ironic. Figures I would get the dog with the teeth issues :) But in all seriousness I wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to me during this difficult time. We got our third opinion last night and now comes the tough part…making a decision about what to do. We are focusing on Berkley and staying positive. Thanks again for all the support I will update you when we know more. Till then kiss your puppies for me!
** The above x-ray is of his top front teeth. As you can tell there is a lot going on!
Chocolate Covered Cherries
I would have never even though to dip cherries in chocolate but this feature on The Ritzy Bee Blog is too cute! I am having a dinner party this weekend and this would be the perfect addition to that after dinner cup of coffee or even dessert! Thanks Maria for the great idea!

Beaded Neckline
How fun is the beading on the top of this dress!? So different. Love the blue-ish tones…very unexpected!
Guard Dog
Welcome Box
I am a huge fan of a welcome box for anyone who may be traveling to see you. That includes guests staying at your home, wedding guests and even “welcome to the club” boxes. It is a small gesture that I think goes so far! I love this fun “midnight snack” take on the traditional box. Add a bottle of wine and it is sure to be a hit!

Super Cards
The sentiment could not be more perfect!! I can think of a million occasions to send one of these to someone I am excited for. Thanks for the great inspiration Oh So Beautiful Paper!
Pajama Jeans
So what do we think about these Pajama Jeans? They are sweatpants designed to look like jeans. Comfy I am sure but would you wear them? I am not going to lie I might actually wear a pair to walk the dog around the block however the $39 price tag might be a little steep for glorified pajamas J
