OMG Worthy Reads, Week 101

October is here and I have yet to have my mums bloom!  I bought them at Costco weeks ago.  I have always purchased them in the bud stage so they will last longer.  I have never had them take this long to bloom.  To my readers that are gardeners, is there anything I can do to force bloom these?

I have a great selection of Worthy Reads this week.  Enjoy!

Recipe of the Week

My sister made this Parmesan Butternut Squash Gratin from Cooking Classy last week and said it was delicious.  Her husband gave me some butternut squash from his garden and I will be making this recipe this week.

I’m 52 and Had a Heart Attack

As you know I write for 1010 Park Place.  Sara Cornell, a fellow contributor, recently shared her story about having a heart attack at 52!  It was an eye opener for me and I felt compelled to share it with others.  If you are fit, eat healthy and think you are immune from a heart attack, this post is for you.

1010 Park Place

Last week at 1010 Park Place I wrote about repurposing your silver (or silver that you inherited) in your bathroom!  Yes, your bathroom.  I share a collection of photos on how you can add this touch of elegance to an unexpected place.

Room of the Week

I am a bit new to the Instagram game.  I’ve caught on enough to start following some amazing accounts.  One of my favorite is Traditional Home.  They occasionally have designers take over their Instagram account for the weekend, thereby introducing us to new people to follow.  This weekend award-winning Marie Flanigan Interiors took over and this gorgeous home office is one of the photos she shared.  It’s simply stunning, don’t you agree?

Halloween Playlist
