Spring Cleaning... How I love thee!

Today's post is from my Aunt KBL. She is so inspiring, and when she says that she loves cleaning, she REALLY does! Enjoy!

"Ah, Spring cleaning...How I love thee, let me count the ways... Not everybody loves to clean. But I believe that Spring Cleaning is a must. While there are so many products out there today to make life simpler, I believe we have no excuse not to. I love to approach Spring Cleaning in a non-conventional way. I use this time to actually take stock in each room and look at it NOT as a boring job, but as something that will be quite satisfying. I may use an old fashion method or even a great smelling one that is offered by Mrs. Meyers or Caldrea. They will actually make your heart sing while you are cleaning! FIRST...I put on some 40's music (my preference) and take a room and while I clean I will rearrange and re-purpose! I may even take a jaunt to my favorite antique place, home improvement store or wherever to refresh a room. You will be surprised at how your mood will change when you have completed a room. And, you will be able to look out your windows to see a gorgeous Spring coming!

Welcome a beautiful Spring with fresh and clean rooms!

Favorite Products: Swiffers, Baking Soda, Scotch Brite Dusting Cloths (that you can use, wash and reuse!), Mrs. Meyers Scouring Surface Powder, Surface cleaner by Caldrea or Mrs. Meyers. I also love the wipes that are made by them... EASY Cleaning... But cleaning all the same!" - KBL

Happy Friday!

The weekend is here! HOORAY! I am so ready for a relaxing weekend! After work tomorrow, I will head up to our beach place and stay there Saturday night and all Sunday. It is supposed to be gorgeous and in the 70's so I am super excited! The first official day of spring is tomorrow! What are your plans? I hope you enjoy every minute of your weekend!


I love this dress, the pretty pastel balloons, and everything about this shot taken by the talented, Agnes Lopez (Whom I finally had the pleasure of meeting today!)

BeeGee Bags

A friend of mine, and Pluma Jewelry designer, Treffry, shared a great bag line with me called BeeGee Bags! BeeGee Bags is a small company based out of Washington D.C. that takes pride is sewing and finishing every bag in house! You can even choose from various fabrics/prints, and order a custom bag to your liking. It's the perfect little clutch to carry for spring, great for a bride, or to give as a bridesmaid's gift! Check out how pretty they are!

Spring is in Bloom!

I can not believe that it is March ALREADY! Wow this year is flying by! I can feel spring in the air, as it is another beautiful day here in Jacksonville! I wish I could be outside, but I have the door wide open at Lilee's so I can enjoy the weather as much as possible!

Since moving into our home back in October, it has been mostly cold weather so we have not been able to get out in our yard and fix it up. The grass and plants were not in the best shape (pretty much dead) when we moved in, and with many "freezing" nights these past couple of months, it looks even worse! I'm ready for some gorgeous green grass, color and blooms! We are antsy to get out in the yard ASAP, and as soon as it starts to warm up we will! Here are some beautifully landscaped gardens that just inspire me even more!


Don't you just want to be here? Beautiful!









I wish I could grow Hydrangea like these!! So gorgeous!
