Growing up, we always had a tree.  A beautiful tree full of great ornaments and memories of years gone by.  I never had a real tree.  NEVER.  Each year, my mom would get my dad to get the tree out of storage, then she would decorate.  When I moved out on my own, we bought a cheap little tree and a couple of ornaments to go on it. Nothing fancy, but it was a tree.  When I got married, I wanted to have a pre-lit tree so bad that I could not stand it (I don't mind decorating the tree, but those lights... man that drives me nuts!)  Marc and I had a deal, he would string the lights on it, I would do the ornaments... and that was how it was...UNTIL we bought a beautiful artificial tree on sale- PRE LIT! I was thrilled with our purchase and that was how it has been.  Until a couple years ago. He got in his mind that he wanted to go get a real tree...  It was a big deal as we took Broxton to the tree farm and purchased one... Talk about making memor...

Hopefully if you come to our house, you will notice the smell that greets you and you will comment on how welcoming it is!    As I have mentioned a few times, I have a slight obsession with Air Wick and they just keep drawing me in!  Last year, I was able to review their National Parks collection and our house had a delightful aroma that would greet you when you entered...  Then, we had the familiar favorites that would randomly spray fresh scents throughout the day...  Now, we have the plug in scents down stairs.   I will tell you this, I am not always so observant , so I am not sure if this is new or not ...  but, we noticed that they had a "scratch and sniff" sticker ...

I don't know about you - but if you enter a house that smells good, you just get this extra Welcome feel to the place.  I know that whenever I go home, I notice that my mom has this certain scent to the house... It is a welcome scent and it always makes me smile...  Well, our house never has the same scent - except for when Marc decides he wants candles- then it is the same scent.... but for me, I like to rotate the smells and I have been totally in love with the Air Wick Line.   We have been having the National Parks collection. I admit, I am a bit obsessed with them.  They just ALL smell so good!!!!  Recently, I was informed that they had decided to release a "familiar favorites" ...
