Happy Rosh Hashanah!
Happy Rosh Hashanah to all our Jewish readers! Whether you are Jewish or Christian, Rosh Hashanah is a part of your spiritual heritage. Also known as The Jewish New Year, it is celebrated on the first and second days of the Tishri (seventh month of the Jewish year), which falls on September 16th through the 18th this year. Like the New Year celebrations we are familiar with, it is a time for introspection on the year past, as well as making new resolutions to improve upon the year ahead.
For more on this Jewish celebration, check out a previous post we did on the holiday! Celebrate Rosh Hashanah

Patriot Day!
It seems like yesterday for those of us who never forget...
Without fail, I listen to this every year on 9-11. It's a reminder of how strong the American spirit is, for those who believe what our country stands for. If we keep our eyes on God, no matter what challenges we face, the flag will stand...we will stand!

Fall Hurricanes
It's not officially Fall yet, but most kids have gone back to school and now that Labor Day is behind us, it definitely feels like the end of Summer. So why not get a jump on some of your Fall decorating? If you want a fun and easy project, I have just the thing! I came across a tutorial online to make these Fall Hurricanes and decided to give it a shot! They are inexpensive and only take about 10 minutes to make. Most of the supplies can be found at the dollar store. I had trouble finding the hurricane vases, so I picked these up from Walmart for about $3 each. Creating a pair will only run you $6-$10!
Basically you just hot glue the candlesticks to the base of the hurricane, add a tall glass candle and fill it with whatever you want. I chose to use these gold, sparkly leaves. Be sure to remove all stickers before you begin the project! If you'd like to see more of a step by step demonstration, check out these sources:
