Every time I'm in a yoga class, I'm always intrigued by the instructors who use essential oils in their practice. I'll take any opportunity to calm my mind, especially living in New York City. I mean, aren't we all looking for little ways to relax in our often hectic everyday lives? So why not bring aromatherapy into our homes? We were happy to try out the Sofia nebulizer from Pilgrim ...

DIY Planter Drink Table + Target Outdoor Sale
Every year we love our outdoor space just a little bit more than the previous year. A lot of that is due to the work we put into the yard, but mostly it's how comfortable it is with all of our Target Standish outdoor patio furniture and pillows.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide from Practical to Thoughtful
A Mother's Day gift guide that covers the thoughtful to the more practical of gifts. My kids used to always want to get me a Roomba for Mother's Day. I mean what does that say about our family? Although now they work with Alexa, so who knows? You could draw all sorts of conclusions from that one...we never did get one, but that's not to say I don't appreciate practical gifts for mothers's ...
