Brunch Accessories

I love hosting brunches. It's so easy. Maybe because I'm a morning person. But what I usually do is prepare my tables from the night before. I set up a toasting station, a main table with the food (I've invested in two chafing dishes that I bought at Costo)and the dining room for the guests to eat. When I wake up I start cooking and place the food in the oven or in the chafing dishes until the guests arrive. I usually present the food as a buffet so my guests can help themselves to whatever they want. I found this great shop on Etsy that creates chalkboard signs. I think this is perfect for my buffet. I can write the menu on the board so my guests know what I am serving. How brilliant!

As mentioned earlier, I'm not a fan of gifting chocolate to my children, nieces and nephews. So what I do is give them a small quality chocolate along with a gift.

Here's a great idea found in our shop that would be great to accompany with a book or chocolate.

Spring Is Just Around The Corner

When Spring is in the air alot of people have the urge to clean. To clean up the winter blues and welcome spring with freshness. I've listed some eco-friendly cleaning tips to assist you in cleaning your home.

Baking soda is a natural wonder. I use a damp cloth, sprinkle a little baking soda on my cloth and wipe away any marks on my walls or counters.

White vinegar in a spray bottle is a great natural degreaser and disinfectant. I constantly use white vinegar to disinfect my kitchen counter tops and wipe down my stove.

If you have a clogged drain you can mix up one cup of baking soda and a cup each of vinegar and salt. Pour the mixture down your drain or sink after an hour or so boil a kettle of water and rinse.

For a natural room deodorizer you can simmer a cinnamon stick in some water with a couple of drops of lemon juice this leaves your house smelling sweet.

If you have stainless steel appliances, pour a dap of olive or vegetable oil on a cloth and wipe your appliances clean.

Happy cleaning!
