Our, Not So Secret, Garden

Hello Spring!  Hello Sunshine!!  Hello Produce!!! 

What?!  Yup, we are going to grow our own produce this year.  We go through so much of it, so why not?!  We used to have a cute little garden in the backyard, when the kids were little, very little.  However, the trampoline for the kids took over that spot for a little while.  Which has been a great source of fun for the kids...and adults, but we need our garden space back.

While our backyard is not large, we had to do a little rearranging, some woodworking, and a partial backyard make over, and we now have a garden spot!   I am beyond thrilled!  (A garden box, how-to, will be coming in a later post)

I am so excited to have fresh tomatoes, fresh strawberries, and fresh cucumbers.
Actually we are going to plant a ton more and even, The Mister, is getting on the garden and canning this year.  He makes a mean batch of dill pickles and bread & butter pickles!  I can't wait!

What we will be growing:

Box 1
Roma Tomatoes
Early Girl Tomatoes
Hawaiian Pineapple Tomatoes (excited for this one)
Yellow Pear Tomatoes
Zucchini

Box 2
Broccoli
Cucumbers
Sweet Peppers
Onions
Lemon Cucumbers

Box 3
Pickling Cucumbers
Strawberries
Potatoes
Lettuce

Arch 1 (Coming Soon)
Green Peas

Arch 2 (Coming Soon)
Green Beans

 We also plan on planting some blueberry trees.  I'm so excited!

 Do you have a garden in your yard?  What are you growing this year?  What is your favorite produce to grow?  Tomatoes?  Zucchini?

Hey Girl!

We've all seen the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" memes that are all over Pinterest.  Well, these Five Fabulous bloggers are hosting a "Hey Girl" link party;  View Along The Way , Decor and the Dog , Bliss Ranch , Two Twenty One and Domesic Imperfection .  This is a fun way to show some Valentine's Love for my main man.  Anyone, who knows The Mister and I, knows that we are in such love that we are inseparable.  I thought this would be easy, you know, since I've been with The Mister, for-ever.   But it was a little harder than I thought.  Trying to find the perfect picture to go with the perfect "Hey Girl" was a little tricky, too.  However, once I got into my groove, I could have done a gazillion more of these. How do you not fall in love, even more, with a man that falls asleep with their babies? Cheers baby!  You love me and you know it!   Happens every. Single. Time. I rent a movie Working on it, ...

ORC: Week One - Built-Ins & Overthinking

Image
 Well, here we are at week one of the One Room Challenge and I have officially wasted a full week overthinking my base cabinets.   I was so excited.  Ordered them online from The Home Depot, got curbside pick up.  Got them home and placed them in their new spots and instant buyers remorse.   What had I done?   I started sending pics to those closest to me and asking their opinions.  The icing on the cake was when the hubby got home and immediately said, "Holy smokes those things are HUGE!" I went on Instagram Stories and asked for your opinions, which was 50/50, so that didn't help at all....hahaha    I  then started using painters tape to fuel my vision.  I am such a visual person that I really need to see that what was currently in my home was not too large, cumbersome, bulky, and literally ruining my vision for built-ins.    I asked friends to check it out when they stopped by.  Friends!!!  It ...

Back to School....Back to Blogging

Image
Hey, hey, hey....I can not believe it's been nearly 5 months since my last post! 5 months!   That's forever.  Nearly 1/2 of this year.  So, far, that is the entire length of my employment at my new job.  See where I'm going?  Lots have happened in 5 months.  Unfortunately, just not lots around the  house, like I had been hoping for.  I think I had to glorious idea in my head that I would be able to get about 3-4 posts, consisting of projects, crafts, recipes, what have you, up on the blog each week.  I really did.  And then....reality hit. And it hit hard.    Blogging takes a lot of time.  It's enough that the projects take time, but then to add blogging to it.  Wow, was I ever delusional.  I don't blog for income, I blog for friends and family, mostly those out of town, to see what has been happening in and around our family.  So why put that stress on myself? ...
