J is for July

and Jellybeans!

As a kid, the summertime was prime candy eating season.  My sisters and I would use our allowance, almost exclusively, to buy penny candy at the local V&S variety store.

Every once in a while, I would splurge and buy a pack of colorful jelly beans (usually Jelly Belly brand).  I would then neurotically separate them by colors and taste combinations before delighting in their fruity goodness.

I hope you will check out THIS TREASURY full of fantastic jelly bean finds!

M is for May

And Mothers!

Growing up, May was always the official ‘mom month’ at our house.  It starts out with May Day, when handmade flowers and candy baskets are passed around; then my own mother’s birthday (which she shares with my older sister, her first-born child), then Mother’s Day.  By the end of the month, the flowers have begun to bloom and my mom is outdoors tending to her garden. 

Here are some special gift ideas to show mom you care.  I think my mom would love them, and maybe yours would too!

1. Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

2. Floral Lap Quilt

3. Framed Butterflies

4. Personalized Birthstone Necklace

5. Gift Tag Set

6. Pampering Basket

7. Prayer Bookmark

A is for April

and air… fresh AIR!

This month brings us outdoors to re-discover the beauty of nature and the natural freshness that comes with it.  Our senses are treated to the crisp clean smells of cooling rain, the warmth of the sparkling sun and the beauty of budding flowers.

I have put together a collection of Etsy finds which used ‘Fresh Air’ in their listing title.  They perfectly celebrate all that April means to me.  Check out the seller shop links to find more great products!
