July 4, 2013 in Best Of, DIY, Featured, Gardening - 13 Comments

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,… Read More »

Repurpose To Spark Creativity And Eliminate Excess

April 18, 2013 in Gardening, Homemaking - 2 Comments

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.

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.

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.
