Shop My Favorite Finds on Amazon!

We're huge Amazon fans in this house - living out in the boonies like we do means that a lot of home and grocery shopping is done online and you can't beat Amazon for their selection and Prime shipping!  | This page contains affiliate links |

I've created a page on Amazon to showcase some of our favorite Amazon finds - everything from home, to beauty, to baby and kid items.  Items with a "speech bubble" in the corner means I've added a note about that item, just give it a click to see what I have to say about it.  

Feel free to check our Favorite Amazon Finds often since I'll be continuing to add more items as they come up.  

Spring has Sprung!

I've been very busy around the house lately, working on a lot of spring cleaning and garden projects.  
It seems like there isn't enough time to get it all done... raking, weeding, mulching, planting our veggie garden, cleaning out the closets and donating/consigning our unwanted warmer weather clothing... just a few of the things on my to-do list.  Whew.  

But you certainly can't beat lilac season!  These beauties are from our next door neighbor and a reminder to stop and smell the roses (or lilacs) no matter how much there is to get done.  

Happy Spring from Birch Landing Home!  

Get more bang for your buck from your make-up remover!

Okay, this is a pretty silly little trick but I've been doing it for years... the best way to get twice as much out of your facial cleansing pads..?  Cut them in half!  

| Aveeno Cleansing Pads |

I don't wear a lot of make-up and these Aveeno Pads are super-soapy, half a circle is more than enough to remove my make-up and wash my face.  Whenever I get a new jar, I just cut them all in half with scissors and put them back in the jar ready to go.  It only takes a few minutes and by doing this simple little thing I get two months worth of product for the price of one!
