Getting used to living in a new home can be a bit of a challenge, and quite often there are things you discover about the place that you didn't notice before you signed the closing papers. Sometimes it's a leaky faucet or a creak in the stairs, but one guy in Texas got a whole lot more than he bargained for. Because one day, he found a ton of people standing around a tree in his front yard. Creepy, huh?

He noticed that the people were leaving candles and flowers around the tree and assumed that there had been some sort of accident there or something like that, which seems like a logical explanation. But as it turns out, crowds have been flocking there for a much more interesting reason. They believe that they can see the image of the Virgin Mary imprinted in the tree.

Planning to send flowers for Valentine's Day? We all know how happy it makes people to receive a gorgeous, fragrant bouquet of flowers any time of the year, but especially on Valentine's Day! Good for you, wanting to light up someone's day like that. You deserve some discount codes, right?

Right! And it's time to get cracking looking for those discounts. Don't worry, we have a big, beautiful bouquet full of discount codes on flower delivery for you right here. Just pick your favorites. 

Ugh. Remember the apartment the first guy you dated after college lived in? Wait a minute -- what am I saying? Of course you remember it, because you can probably still smell it! Aside from a few select dudes who really know how to throw a room together or are just complete and total neat-freaks, bachelor pads are typically pretty gross.

But bachelor pads aren't strictly limited to guys who have never lived with their girlfriends before. With divorce rates among married couples still high, there are more men, and in particular dads, who suddenly find themselves living in a new place without the faintest idea of how to make it look and feel like a true home. Don't get me wrong, there are some men out there who have a better eye for decorating than women, but the majority of dads I know leave that sort of thing up to their wives. 

No, I'm not planning to decorate a nursery again, but I have several friends with growing bumps who are in the midst of deciding on all the sweet details of rooms just for baby.

I love putting together a nursery because you can have fun with it and be a bit brave in your choices. Here I've rounded up six gorgeous nurseries that all have something in common: eye-popping patterns on the walls. I love them and hope you do too. 

Were you relieved when your kids finally got old enough where you didn't have to do the whole baby-proofing thing anymore? Yeah, me too. It was just so refreshing to finally be able to do simple things like lift the lid of the toilet seat without unlatching that stupid little clip or leave a handful of change on the counter without worrying that my son would eat it like candy.

I am done having kids, barring any unforeseen "slips," so my baby-proofing days are hopefully gone for good. That is, unless we decide to break down and get a dog. Those of you who have furry friends apparently need to worry about "pet-proofing" your homes even if your babies are all grown up. Looks like the whole "a puppy is worse than a baby" thing has more truth to it than we thought.

How fun would it be to step into one of your favorite TV shows? It would be such a hoot to live in a house your favorite TV characters call home.

I guess it's kind of dorky to want to re-enact scenes from that sitcom you love, but c'mon -- you know you'd do it. Wouldn't it be so fun to live in the apartment building that was used in Friends? You know you'd totally hum the theme song every time you walked up the stairs too!

Believe it or not, it just may be possible ...

Urinals in public restrooms are beyond disgusting. Not that I make a habit of venturing into men's rooms or anything like that, but they still have a major yuck factor even though I don't use them. I mean -- dudes pee in there. Gag me.

But apparently Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom don't agree with me. They're gearing up for their new reality show by remodeling their home in California, including a bathroom redo complete with a mouth-shaped urinal. Yes, I said mouth-shaped urinal. As in a big set of open lips for their male guests to have the pleasure of relieving themselves in.

While most of America watched the Super Bowl last night, I was watching another big game: The Puppy Bowl. Yay! Shameless, cuddly cuteness sans any violence!

My husband (who couldn't care less about football), shih tzu, and I hunkered down with some pizza, beer, and Bully sticks for the annual event. It was a nail-biter this year with some really strong rookies -- seriously, if you missed it, it was an epic game. But the best part of all was watching my dog watch the game. I mean, is there anything cuter than watching your pet watch animals on TV? Answer: No, there's not. So, let's check out a couple videos of doggies watching doggies during at last night's Puppy Bowl. 'Cause we can. And 'cause we should.
