I love new things, which usually leads to spending money unnecessarily and filling our home with more stuff. While I still love to shop, I’ve been able to satisfy my itch by repurposing. I started seeds for the garden using toilet paper rolls as mini pots and I created an indoor herb garden using mason… Continue Reading

Guest Post: Creating Mom’s Backyard Living Space
I am writing this on behalf of all moms out there who lack spaces of their own. If you are like me, your husband has his man-cave where he watches sports and he has the garage where he works on restoring his old car (with no end in sight). The kids even have their own… Continue Reading

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. Hopefully they are doing just as well underneath the soil too. It seems like the strawberry bush gets taller each day. I’ve picked one ripe berry. It… Continue Reading
Adding Sweet & Marble Peppers To My “To Grow” List + A Sponsored Video
I am a tad bit infatuated with peppers, even more so with the idea of growing them myself. I only shop for green peppers since the pretty orange, yellow, and red ones are so expensive. Last Saturday, while at Target, I discovered the yummy little peppers in the photo to the left. They were on… Continue Reading
Garden Sprouts, Finally!
It’s been over a month since we’ve started our seeds and well, it’s been a challenge with the weather not being so nice. In our heated germination station, I started cucumbers, peppers, summer squash, snow peas, tomatoes, and Jayden’s carrots and lettuce. The cucumbers thrived the best. I just knew we’d be enjoying plenty of… Continue Reading
