five things we learned last week

You like your Halloween pumpkins to last. Erin @ SYL: Slipcover Your Life said, “I skip the carving and leave my pumpkin whole well in to November!!!” See how others handle their pumpkins.
Thelermont Hupton’s hook have a place in your heart, too. Erin exclaimed, “These are super fun (would be cute with an apron hanging off of one in a kitchen!).” See the quirky kitchen hooks here.
Cooking in a mug is something you want to try. Tiffany gushed, “Hello, brilliant! This is perfect for those nights when you need a little something-something but, of course, don’t feel like cooking a whole cake. I can’t wait to give it a try!” Click here for a recipe to get you started.
Over-packaged products really ruffle your feathers. Laila said, “I love this idea, but I’d like to see a move toward a different wrapper. Maybe something like parchment paper? It would keep spices fresh and also would be something I could throw into the compost heap.” Check out the post that sparked so many comments.
We’ve given you a new site to bookmark. Anne (in Reno) told us, “I think these guys are so cute! Their style isn’t exactly like mine but I always think they have such great ideas!” Take a peek at Young House Love.




Haha looks like I had a ton to say last week!!! Thanks for the always great posts!
