Wow, fall is just about here! Can you believe it?! Neither can I! It seems like just yesterday we were all awaiting our tulips to emerge from the ground and now we’re thinking about the cool fall weather, football, and getting into fall planting mode. To gear up for fall planting and to get everyone excited, each week I’ll feature…Read More
If you’re like 25 million + internet users, you’ve already discovered it. And it’s horribly addicting. It’s Pinterest. Identifying itself as a “tool for collecting and organizing things you love”, Pinterest has become just that and more. Through allowing and encouraging users to create “pinboards” of different topics (ranging from home decor to inspirational sayings to favorite places to travel…Read More
As hard as it is to believe, the fall season is just around the corner. Personally, I have to admit that I’m ready for it. This summer has been one hot spell after another and I’m getting a bit tired of living in a somewhat stale atmosphere due to the constant air conditioning (not to mention the constant whirr of…Read More
As we all know, there are pluses and minuses to the weather wherever you live. If you’re located in the upper Midwest like me, you may complain the winter’s too long. If you live in southern Texas, you may miss seeing snow at Christmastime. The same is true when it comes to gardening benefits in relation to your climate. Those…Read More

Therefore, there’s not much going on in the way of planting. Hopefully by now, you are enjoying the progress of the bulbs you planted this spring. But what next? You’ve…Read More

In this post, I included photos from…Read More
This week has been a dreary one here in southeastern Wisconsin…and for more reasons than one. The rain hasn’t let up much here this week (I learned last night while watching the weather report that some nearby areas have received in excess of 5″ since Sunday!) and this afternoon has been the first that I’ve seen the sun for more…Read More
We’ve all been there at the weddings, the showers, the corporate events and seminars. And the “thank you for coming” gifts or favors always seem to run in the same vein: a cheaply made bag with a company logo, a useless decoration inscribed with the bride and groom’s names, a small bottle of lotion emanating a scent you can barely…Read More
The weather here in the upper Midwest has been pretty perfect for being outside: warm sun, dry air, cool nights…more than a gardening girl like me could ever ask for! So over the past few days, I’ve stolen a few hours to myself to get outside and get my spring-blooming bulbs in the ground. After all, it just isn’t right…Read More
Ever since my twin girls were born last summer, I’ve been making a more conscious effort to take time for myself, whether it be sweating out in the garden or cozying up on the couch with my knitting.
