Daisies make me happy and that’s why they are in my living room, a place I spend a lot of time in. You might be thinking I am talking about daises in a vase filled with water. Nope. I am talking about daisies on my wall.

Aren’t these fabulous? I have had so many compliments on these since I have put them up. They are from a company called Umbra and they have some great wallflower designs to choose from. My favorite, obviously, are the daisies. They also have pink, blue, chrome and even dragonflies to hang on your wall.

You can check out their entire line of wall decor here.

It’s fun to think outside-the-box when it comes to decorating and hanging up these daisies, which you can put little pictures of your family inside, is definitely out of the ordinary. It’s one of the first things people see when they walk into my house and I just love them.

They are super easy to hang up. You just push a magnetic tac in the wall and the flowers go on with magnets. I have red accents in my living room, so the red inside the flowers really brought that out.

This is a super simple and inexpensive way to make it look like you went to a lot of trouble to decorate a room, but you didn’t. Now that’s my kind of decorating!

It’s summer and it’s time for barbecue! The Weber Portable Gas Grill is exactly what you need to bring real barbecue flavor to your favorite meats, poultry, fish, and even vegetables. Foods grilled over a flame taste great and really add to your summer outdoor festivities.

If you love to grill, but want something that is compact and portable, the Weber Portable Gas Grillis perfect for the back yard, patio, or for taking to the beach or park. Forget about charcoal, go for gas and grill juicy burgers on a small, but powerful grill that cooks quickly and evenly. Your family get-togethers and afternoons spent at the park will be even more fun with the taste of delicious barbecued foods!

Weber is the name in grills, and even though the portable Q 100 gass grill is small, it’s mighty. Powered by propane, the 8,500 BTU burner, made from tubular stainless steel, does a great job of evenly heating a sizable cooking area of 189 square inches. It’s the ultimate in portable grills with lid-open dimensions of 16” by 27” by 23 and one half inches.

If you’re looking for something sturdy and durable, no worries! This grill is sturdy. The body and lid are made from strong cast aluminum, and the frame is glass-reinforced nylon.

Ignition is easy with a push of a button, and regulating heat is a snap with an adjustable burner valve. Your grilling experience will be perfect thanks to the porcelain-enameled cast iron grates, and drip ducts that channel meat drippings away, reducing flame-ups.

Use a 14.1 or 16.4-ounce propane tank to get the party started, and check out the recipe book that comes with the Weber Portable Gas Grill for some great barbecue ideas that your family and guests will rave about for days afterward. And don’t forget about the five-year limited warranty, which truly shows that Weber is confident that you’ll be using and loving your Q 100 gas grill for a very long time.

The days are getting longer. People are spending more and more time outdoors each day. Camping trips and days at the beach beckon. Don’t miss out on the fun and convenience of this small, portable, and very capable gas grill!

Tasty burgers, steaks, chops, fish and grilled veggies are the order of the day when you get out your Weber Q 100 gas grill and get cooking! It’s summertime and time for grilling on your Weber Portable Gas Grill.

Spring, summer and fall are perfect seasons to enjoy the outdoors – not only during the day, but into the evening as well. If you love to entertain outdoors or relax outside in the evening, watching as the stars come out one by one, you’ll love the idea of adding a fire pit to your deck or yard for elegance, atmosphere and a warm and cozy spot to tell stories and share memories by.

The days of building archaic stone pits where you make a small fire in the back yard are gone. If you desire a bit more sophistication for your evenings, the CobraCo Round Fire Bowl will add beauty and style to any setting.

Most people these days love the idea of being able to use their patio, deck and backyard as outdoor extensions of their homes, and a fire pit is one feature that makes evening entertaining so much fun.

Imagine lighting a crackling fire in an elegant copper-finish and cast iron footed bowl. Think about how appealing that would look like from the inside of your home, and how your guests would be drawn out to see it and enjoy themselves by it.

The 29.9-inch diameter of the CobraCo Round Fire Bowl allows for a fire large enough to cast a bit of warmth, dissipate darkness, and create an atmosphere of comfort and friendliness. There’s a mesh screen that can be used over the bowl, and a vinyl cover to protect it when not in use.

Because of its size, this elegant fire pit is easy to take along to the cottage, camping and on vacation. And it’s simple to clean, too. Think of all of the ways you can use a fire pit this year.

In the spring and fall, it can add some warmth and light to cooler nights, making it possible to get the most outdoor enjoyment from your yard or deck as possible. In the summer, it becomes the centerpiece for a fun evening of toasting marshmallows or just mellowing out.

The bowl shape of your fire pit allows heat to dissipate in all directions. This means that in the heat of the summer, it won’t be as searing hot as a campfire, and in the cooler seasons, it will still shed some comforting heat if the evening temperatures drop.

A fire pit looks great, too – even when not in use. The pleasing curve of a round bowl fire pit is attractive in any setting. And bowl fire pits are not messy because they enclose all the ash in one easy to clean area. The copper finish of the CobraCo Round Fire Bowl is subtly sophisticated and compliments wood, stone and brick.

If you’re looking for a way to add a special touch of elegance and style to your outdoor living space, a fire pit is the way to go. For beauty and a way to extend outdoor entertaining into the evening, fire pits are perfect.

Spell it out loud and proud with this festive hanging “Happy Birthday” banner. Pom-pom embellishments add an extra touch of pep, and the sturdy felt and satin material ensures that it can be reused for many parties to come!

You can purchase the Felt Happy Birthday banner at Giggle.

Most likely, since summer is around the corner, families will be planning those backyard bar-b-ques and parties. One essential party must-have is music! I had the chance to review the WOWee One Power Bass Portable Speaker.

Our daughter had her 6th grade continuation yesterday, which meant a party afterwards! We had ice cream sundaes, set up a slip-n-slide and hooked up the WOWee One Power Bass Portable Speaker to the iPod Touch. The sound on this speaker is absolutely amazing and crystal clear. No more lugging a big stereo outside and around the house.

I have to admit, when I first saw it and opened the package, I had my doubts about it. It was so…tiny, but boy does it pack a punch! At $79, this is a great investment. The uses for it are endless – parties, every day home use, camping, vacations – and on and on.

Here are a few more details from their official press release:

The WOWee One, the most innovative, pocket-sized, rechargeable speaker for mobile devices, iPods, laptops, iPhones, netbooks, iPads and personal game systems, is now available in North America. The self-contained $79 device lasts up to 20 hours before recharging and delivers room-filling sound by deploying patented technology that turns whatever the WOWee ONE sits on into a dynamic subwoofer.

The WOWee One unleashes your music by allowing you to pump out tunes or other audio without it sounding thin or faint. A wall, window, desk, table, cooler or cardboard box…even the floor joins the party with a WOWee One on it.

The WOWee One uses a unique dual-speaker solution in a single unit that houses an internal rechargeable battery to deliver thumping lows and clear highs. A top-firing speaker provides high-range fidelity for crisp sound reproduction. A down-firing speaker uses patented Gel AudioTM technology to project low-frequency sound waves that turn adjoining objects or surfaces into an on-the-fly subwoofer. For $79 the WOWee One delivers more dynamic sound right out of the pocket than products costing and weighing more than three times as much.

The WOWee One boasts a dynamic response range of 40Hz – 20KHz and reaches 90 decibels yet weighs only 7 ounces. The unit measures just 4.7″ by 2.4″ by 1″, ideal for a pocket, handbag, backpack, or glove compartment, so it’s always handy.

The WOWee One connects to the audio/headphone jack of any mobile device and comes with a standard 3.5mm audio cable. The unit also features a mini-USB port for charging or powering the WOWee One when connected to a standard powered USB port. A self-adhering and easily removable bracket that mounts the WOWee One to walls or windows is also available.

They say it holds a charge for about 20 hours and that is very accurate. We’ve been using it since receiving it about a week ago and it finally gave out at the party yesterday. All the kids were asking, ‘What is THAT? It’s awesome!’

If you want a speaker that is going to give you quality sound, incredible bass and is little enough to take anywhere, I would highly recommend the WOWee One Power Bass Portable Speaker! Check out more about this product at their official website.

I’ve been learning a lot about wine over the last few months, going to wine dinners, wine tastings and reading up on it too. It really is a fascinating subject to me.

Since I’ve been in the wine mood lately, I thought today’s Fabulous Find should revolved around wine somehow. Especially with the holidays right around the corner.

Today’s Fabulous Find is the Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator. What is a wine aerator exactly? I am glad you asked!

As wine breathes, it releases its intended aromas and flavors. Unlike time-consuming decanters, Vinturi’s simple gadget makes the aerating process easy and convenient. Simply hold it over a glass and pour the wine through, mixing the proper amount of air in the right amount of time. The result is a better bouquet, richer flavor, and smoother finish. Vinturi’s acrylic aerator stands six inches tall and two inches wide, is dishwasher-safe, and comes with a no-drip stand and travel pouch. During manufacturing, the material folds around rods and wraps back resulting in two slightly visible fold lines. These lines extend up from each air hole and are normal.

Here are the product features:

*Hold aerator over glass and pour wine through for instant aeration

*Mixes proper amount of air in right amount of time. During manufacturing, the material folds around rods and wraps back resulting in two slightly visible fold lines. These lines extend up from each air hole and are normal.

*Easily and conveniently enhances flavor, bouquet, and finish of any wine

*Made of acrylic; no-drip stand and travel pouch included

*Measures 6 inches high and 2 inches wide; dishwasher-safe

The reviews for this product have been absolutely FABULOUS and I will definitely be picking up one of these babies soon.
