Nautical Inspired Hanging Basket Planters

Nautical Inspired Hanging Basket Planters

I’ve been wanting to grow some veggies in hanging baskets. I have quite a few coco baskets, but they dry out so fast, my crops will end up withering away in the heat we’ve been having. I decided to head to Walmart to pick up a few plastic hanging baskets. I’m looking to add moreContinue Reading

As first-time parents, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the latest and greatest products for baby.

Baby Notes: 5 Weeks Pregoccupied

Written March 25, 2012 We are diligently planning to surprise the family in mid April. We would like to wait until our first visit with the OB before we shout to the rooftops.

So there are quite a few goodies in our little garden that are thriving and a few that are taking their sweet ol’ time. Check out the carrots.

Painting The Living And Play Rooms

As you all can probably tell, I am really into DIY projects. There’s so many projects around the house I’ve been itching to tackle, painting being one of them.

Completing Our Energy Efficient Light Bulb Mission

We’ve been using CFL light bulbs in our home for at least five years. As a way to conserve energy and save money, it just made sense. CFL bulbs last 7-9 years (we haven’t had one go out yet) so they are worth the initial investment. With so many rooms to buy light bulbs for,Continue Reading

National Learn to Swim Day (Saturday, May 19, 2012)

Learning how to swim isContinue Reading
