DIY Dinosaur Planters

FEATURED

Spring is here (although the temps say otherwise) and for us that means lots of playing in dirt and fun with plants! To jump start our spring gardening we... didn't plant a garden. Nope. Since we're moving to who knows where, we decided to put gardening on hold. We did make the CUTEST little dinosaur…

30 Green Days / Start a Container Garden (Re)using Rubber Bins & Various Pots

FEATURED

Living in a rental has its ups and downs. The positive? Not having to foot the bill for repairs - at least I hope not. The negative? Being limited to the kind of modifications you can make to the property and land. I like to call myself a "rental rebel" because I have found so…

Bring Summer Indoors: Mason Jar Succulent Planters

FEATURED

Succulents. They are irresistibly pretty and all the rage right now. I, having such a green thumb, decided it was time to start my own succulent collection. They're a low-maintenance way of bringing a bit of Summer indoors. Since they are very modest in size, they can be spread throughout the house, resting on shelves,…

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…

To The Strawberry Field

FEATURED

Yesterday, we took a trip to the Strawberry Field for U-Pick. I honestly was expecting it to go smoother than it did, but then again what actually goes smoothly with little's in tow? Not Pictured: Throwing strawberries and straw, trying to run off, knocking over the bucket... twice, wanting to ride the tractor more than…

Nautical Inspired Hanging Basket Planters

FEATURED

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 more…

FEATURED

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…

Adding Sweet & Marble Peppers To My “To Grow” List + A Sponsored Video

FEATURED

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…

Garden Sprouts, Finally!

FEATURED

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…
