I love to hunt on our Ventura beach for sea glass.

Today I will be sharing a few tips and answering the common question, "What is sea glass?".

It's true that I am totally obsessed with sea glass.

When we bought our house at Ventura Beach we had no idea there was a lot of it on our beach.

In fact, I walked the beaches regularly for two years and never noticed it!

Now, every time we come to the beach I always manage to find time to hunt for glass.

Head to my blog for lots of fun info about sea glass.

Everyone has a favorite recipe.

It's the recipe that whenever you make it, everyone goes crazy.

For me, that is definitely my Crab Cakes Recipe with Lemon Dill Sauce.

Trust me, it is that good.

It may not be a traditional crab cake recipe but it’s worth trying it out.

In fact, it's the most popular item served at our Christmas party every year.

And speaking of our Christmas party, there might just be a link to all of the recipes for our Christmas party on my blog post today.

Yes, there just might be.

Head to my blog for this fun recipe and maybe a few more.

We have a great light in the entry of our beach house.

The only problem is I can't reach the light (safely) to change the bulb. So, I have to borrow our neighbor's tall ladder to change it!

You all know our family is really tall (our sons are 6’7, 6’6, and 6’4).

Unfortunately, our boys still aren’t tall enough to change this bulb.

It doesn’t help that it stays on whenever we aren’t at the beach.

EcoSmart Light Bulbs, available exclusively @homedepot, are the perfect solution to making our home more eco-friendly and energy efficient. #homedepotpartner

And guess what?

They also make a light bulb that lasts about ten years! The 60-Watt Equivalent Non-Dimmable LED Light Bulb is perfect for anyone tired of frequently changing a bulb in a fixture that is too high up to reach.

These EcoSmart bulbs have a predicted 10-year lifespan and will only cost you an estimated $1.08 in energy yearly while using 85% less energy than a standard incandescent light bulb.

Problem solved. The bulb is changed and I will not need to change it again for a very long time!

Head to my blog to find four more ways you can use The Home Depot EcoSmart bulbs to save money and solve problems around your home.

I love using things for a purpose that it wasn’t originally intended for.

Today on the blog I shared some fun ways to mix it up and be creative with things you already own or can find at a flea market.

Don’t use a vase. Use a basket instead.

Don’t use regular drinking glasses use mason jars instead.

Think outside of the box.

It’s fun and creative and usually a lot less expensive.

I am kind of a rule breaker.

I don't usually worry about obeying what I call "old rules".

So yes, I use my sterling silver every day and I put it in the dishwasher. Huh?

One of my favorite things to do is use what I call "repurposed vintage decor items".

When I shop vintage flea markets, antique stores, or my attic, I always keep an eye out for items that can be used for something other than their intended purpose.

Today on my blog I shared lots of ways to use things as vases for flowers. But none of them are actually vases!

Grab a cup and come join me for Sunday Morning Coffee!

I made a new summer flower pillow this week.

On the blog today I shared how to make a pillow cover with paint and free motion stitch embroidery.

The process to make one of these pillows is not difficult.

You just need to paint the pillow with shapes of your design and then add the detail with free motion embroidery stitching.

Also, did I mention this pillow cover cost about $5 to make?

Head to my blog for the complete DIY.
