Better Homes and Gardens recently featured many beautiful flowering plants that you can easily add into your home for some color. Most of them can be found at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon or your local nursery. Here are just five of our favorites that they showcased. I really want to find the Ixora plant.

African violet

Among the easiest flowering houseplants you can grow, African violets bloom several times a year with little effort from you.  They come in hundreds of varieties, some with variegated foliage or ruffled or white-edged blooms.

Why I am just hearing of this author now?! How many of you have already been reading Dr. Shauna Shapiro’s books? This book in particular strikes my fancy! As you’ve read in my other posts (or maybe you haven’t but they were good…I promise!) you know that I think it is extremely important to start my morning off on the right foot. My kids think I’m crazy, but if you don’t start fresh and ready, your day is doomed.

Refinance loan volume jumped to the highest level since 2013 last week, especially among jumbo mortgage borrowers, on the heels of lower mortgage rates, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The average interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.45% last week, Freddie Mac  reported, the lowest level since October 2016.
