One of the most common questions I hear from homeowners that… Read More »

Bring Summer Indoors: Mason Jar Succulent Planters

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.

Nautical Inspired Hanging Basket Planters

May 29, 2012 in Gardening - 3 Comments

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… Read More »

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.

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.

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.
