Centerpieces are the secret-weapon of an organized mom! They make a statement that says "this table is decorated and off-limits." Try it sometime.

What kinds of centerpieces do you like? They can be simple or ornate, depending on your tastes and decor. Here are some centerpiece ideas for you to consider:
Flowers - a fresh bouquet or arrangement of flowers in a decorative vase is a beautiful centerpiece for any dining room, kitchen table or accent table in your hallway. Artificial plants or flowers can work well, too, just remember to dust them.
Candles - a centerpiece arrangement of candles is an elegant addition to any room. Concerned about fire? Don't light them or, use floating candles or electric candles. Each one is lovely.

Fruit - place a stunning ceramic bowl or graceful wicker basket in the center of your table and fill it with colorful fruit, fresh or artificial. Again, fake fruit needs to be shined up once in a while.

Fish - yes, you read it right. FISH! Using a clear glass vase with marbles at the bottom, add an underwater plant, water and a dazzling Betta Fish. Kids will love it.
