Household Essentials Natural Wicker Picnic Baskets

Is there anything more magical than fireworks across a summer’s night sky; than the way the biggest booms reverberate in your chest leaving awe in their wake; than the smell of gunpowder after the grand finale laced with sunscreen and hot charcoal? No, my friends. This is the good life. This is the 4th of July.

The Fourth of July has long been my favorite holiday. Even as a child it beat out birthdays and Christmas; all the Halloween candy in the world couldn’t change my mind. And the reasons I fell in love with it then are the very reasons we celebrate it at all. The freedom of staying in the pool as long as I wanted, the freedom of Summer vacation, the freedom of lighting as many sparklers as would fit in my hand. Freedom, glorious freedom.

Whether today’s plans include family BBQ’s or the town’s firework display over the water, get your pursuit of happiness started with these fabulous natural wicker picnic baskets from Household Essentials.

Household Essentials Travel Accessories

I have never been on a cruise. Maybe it’s the fact that I grew up in Florida or my tendency to get sea sick, but sailing on a giant ship for several days visiting island locales simply wasn’t at the top of my list. However, the day has arrived and the vacation is booked. In just a few weeks, the Ambrose family and I will be all at sea.

Cruising has proven to be a difficult packing puzzle. Obviously, I’ll need the tropical essentials; bathing suits, sunscreen, shorts and tanks. Check. But then there are the extras like formal dinners, hiking excursions, and cooler days at sea. Now my single carry-on turns into Samsonite’s twelve-piece set. And that won’t even fit my shoes!

Fortunately, Household Essentials offers an innovative line of travel accessories for just this occasion. You’ll save space and pack smarter leaving more room for…well, for more stuff!

So easy to pack and just the right size to keep in the hotel safe!

I absolutely love this small, roll-up jewelry case. What could be more important than keeping all your valuable pieces in one, organized travel bag.

Speaking of getting ready, just because you’re away from home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look your best. Household Essentials and Central Vacuum wants to bring along all your beauty instruments!

Travel Curling/Flat Iron Cover

Your next vacation or corporate conference just got that much more organized…

Book that flight, rent that car, or hop on that cruise. This life is too short to not stop and take a break every now and then. Gather your family and friends and get away from it all! When you look back on memories made…I guarantee this next trip will be one of them.

Household Essentials Makes Your Easter Even Better!

Easter is a beautiful time of year. I remember the excitement of waking up to find a basket full of goodies, the way my fingers would still be stained with the colors of the Easter egg dye, and the smell of my mother’s broccoli casserole in the oven. Maybe it’s the message of rebirth fresh on my mind or the pastel colored tulips on my table; whatever the case, Easter says that Spring is in full bloom.

It’s no surprise, then, that a sermon on renewal makes us want to also take a fresh look at our homes. Spring is the perfect time to prioritize and organize. I’ll be shining a spotlight on some featured home-organization products in today’s post. I hope this Sunday leaves you glory-filled and refreshed…because Monday kicks off Spring Cleaning.
