Garden Update: Happy Carrots, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Hazelnut, Onions, and Lettuce

May 27, 2012 in Gardening - 3 Comments

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… Read More »

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

May 14, 2012 in Food & Recipes, Gardening - No Comments

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… Read More »

Garden Sprouts, Finally!

May 4, 2012 in Gardening - No Comments

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… Read More »

Kid Craft: Mini Wooden Easter Basket Planters

April 1, 2012 in Arts & Crafts, Gardening - No Comments

There's something about Spring that puts me in the mood to craft. I'd like to do more crafts with Jayden, but I am totally against creating things that will eventually end up in the garbage. You know how it is, so many crafts, so little house. So when Walmart asked me to make mini wooden… Read More »

His Corner Of The Garden

March 26, 2012 in Gardening - 4 Comments

Since the weather's been so lovely (lovelier than usual for Chicagoland), we've gotten a head start on gardening. Last year, Jayden was so interested in helping in the garden, but since it was our first container garden, I didn't want him to break it. Blame the OCD (we worked hard that garden). Now that we… Read More »

August 10, 2011 in Gardening, Life & Quirks - 8 Comments

I intended to post this last Saturday, but because I cannot seem to get ANYTHING done on time, Wednesday'll have to do. Saturday went a little something like this... Splishin' and splashin' in the pool. His blue flame SPF suit is up for grabs at She {hearts} It =). California Poppy Blooming Zinnia Corn Silks… Read More »

Hello August (In Bullets)

August 2, 2011 in Gardening, Life & Quirks - 10 Comments

As I sit and write this, I am fatigued, only capable of speaking in incomplete sentences. Left. Widget. Up. There. Chips. Okay. Sit. Hush. I am burnt out, but hanging in there. There's so much more that I crave in life and for this blog of mine, and I'm working behind the scenes to be… Read More »

Rude Cabbage Worms and Remedies

July 17, 2011 in Gardening

Last month, I noticed a white butterfly fluttering around our garden. I immediately found it's activity to be quite suspicious. It would not go away. There was something in our garden that tickled it's fancy. I, however, didn't know it was about our beloved cabbage. Two weeks later, I suppose, I started to notice teeny… Read More »

New Additions to Our Backyard!

May 29, 2011 in Gardening - 15 Comments

Since giving our outdoor living space a makeover, I have been on an outdoor high! Since my last update, the blueberry and hazelnut trees have been planted in large pots and I'm considering planting peach and apple trees since Jayden keeps asking for both of those fruits. Where am I gonna put them? I dunno,… Read More »
