This post brought to you by Scotts Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. Last year my toddler and I tried to create our very first garden. I had grandiose ideas of flowers of all kinds and colors sprouting up at our little lake house. Of course Pinterest was the inspiration, it gets me every time. I planted hoards of flowers along the house including some of my favorites like Gladiolas, Peonies, Lillies, Daisies and even sunflowers. Things went downhill from there. … [Read more...]
When I was asked to become a P-Touch Ambassador and use the Brother P-Touch PTD 200 Label Maker for one month within my home, I knew that I would be using it to organize, and label things I had put away; making them more accessible to myself and my family. What I didn't know is that I would become a label maniac and discover a new way to get myself organized outdoors as well. A couple weeks ago I shared with you my space saving container herb and veggie garden in a sad, sad state. Well, this … [Read more...]
I have a small home, with little room for storage and 3 people sharing the space. We have to be really creative about storage and organization or else our tiny cottage can easily look disheveled and cluttered, especially with a toddler and his robots afoot to terrorize each room. I was recently asked to become a P-Touch Ambassador and use the Brother P-Touch PTD 200 Label Maker in my home to help me organize this spring. Of course I jumped on the opportunity because this is exactly what I am … [Read more...]
Kermit may have said it best when he said, "Its not easy being green." Sure, he was talking about being a frog, not making a conscious effort to be environmentally friendly, but its true for both. For example, growing a garden for someone like myself, that can kill the heartiest of plants, is a major challenge. Add to the mix the soaring temperatures in Houston, a small yard with either too much sunshine or too much shade, and two dogs that will eat or tear up anything, and you see what I'm … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. Gardening has always been one of my favorite hobbies. I love cultivating a beautiful garden to not only look at for my own pleasure, but for my families as well. The act of gardening gives me a huge sense of peace and of satisfaction. One of the ways I like to find my garden inspiration is through the Gardenieres. The Gardenieres are a group of hand-picked green thumbs led by master gardener, William Moss. They … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Scotts Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. Fall Gardening Tips This summer I tried cultivating my first garden. I failed. I blame it on a variety of factors. Lack of rain and fertilizer would be one (hey, it was my first try - I lived and learned.) Another reason would be a 130lb giant named Bently. Apparently he thought my Gladiola's looked best dug up and strewn about my yard. Lastly, I may have pulled a few thinking they were weeds. Can you hear me … [Read more...]
Vertical Gardening DIY I've always loved the "idea" of gardening, but never really put too much effort into it until we bought our first home. We had over a years worth of renovations to make to it, all of which were exciting and turned out amazing, but I have to admit my favorite part was at the end. Landscaping. It was finally my turn to make the house pretty and give it some curb appeal. Problem is, we have very limited space. Our lot size is super small so while I would have loved to … [Read more...]
Looking for some ideas on how to create your own unique small space indoor gardens? I love gardening and I refuse to let my small home keep me from bringing my "babies" indoors once harsh Michigan winters knock on my door. I find that even in the smallest living spaces, there is room for indoor gardening. And even if you have plenty of space outside to garden, bringing fresh greenery, herbs and blooms inside always brightens any home and will be sure to be a source of sunshine on even the … [Read more...]
It appears we have started a Mother's Day tradition. Ben buys me flowers and plants and I make the house pretty with them. If you would have asked me 5 years ago if this was my idea of a great Mother's Day gift, I would have laughed - no guffawed, in your face. Twice. If you ask me what I think of the idea now, I'll tell you it's brilliant. Fantastic, I say! Why? Because for some reason having a home grown garden and beautiful flowers outside our home year round makes me smile. You'd smile at … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine. With Spring weather throughout the country its time to get the yard looking good. The neighbors are out pruning their plants, planting vegetables in their garden and getting the pool ready. When I was a kid my parents always planted a large garden, and I always enjoyed helping with planting and harvesting the vegetables. We always had a deep freezer full of peas, beans, corn and okra by the end of summer, but … [Read more...]
