My First Garden

When we moved our new bedroom had a door and outside, on the side of the house it had an area for a garden, so I have taken it on. It had tons of green onions and the previous owner must have just threw seeds in and then turned the dirt. I found some roots about a foot under. I had to try and attempt to get them out. We finished that part yesterday. I forgot to take pictures of that part tho. I also will be putting in seeds either today or tomorrow. I am going to cheat and put in a few already grown plants. I really want a jalapeno plant, garlic, and peppers. So we will see how it goes. Oh, last thing, I found out my mom has a mint growing in her bushes in her backyard so I am going to dig that out and attempt to move it to my garden.

This after my husband gutted the million dead onion plants .

My kids helping me find the onion roots. 

I bought potting in pots mix, and I figured I could still use it cause its sort of a pot. 

Happy Easter!

I will post our pics up either later today or tomorrow. Have a great and safe Holiday!

A place of their own.

This is my first  project that I will be taking on.  I want my kids to have their own space, and  we moved and the guy who owned the property before us, really thought out this house. There is something for everyone here. I haven't decided what I really want to do with this yet. I have an idea, but I am not sure if I am dead set on it. I thought about painting the exterior white and then making it look like it was brick, so with dark red paint . I am also thinking white for the trim.  I think  it has really good potential. I don't want it to be to cute either , I would like it to be neutral between my son and daughter. I had thoughts of lining the wood, the counter top and side, with shelving paper. But now I am thinking it may loose, its little charm. I am thinking or repainting the inside a light yellow. I also have to get the paint off the door window, and I am in the process of making curtains.  I also am thinking  of what to do about the fence, and all the dirt.  Also the dogs get in there and chew up their toys, the dogs have about ten ways to get in, so I have to figure something out for that too. Do you have any ideas?

bareMinerals Truffle anyone?

I got a desert truffle glass, for Christmas, in a white elephant. I have never made a truffle, and to be honest its  a bit to fancy. My kids would have dropped it and broke it. Well, I was tired of seeing the box just sit on my freezer, and I thought to myself there has to be something I can use it for. Well at first I was going to use it for  all my make up but I LOVE bareMinerals and I use mostly bareMinerals. It looks cute with just these items in it and not cluttered full or random makeup. I really  love it. I am thinking about adding a bow or something but the materials and ribbon I have on stock is not fitting it just right. but I like it like this for now.

Happy December!

I know I havent been blogging, this semester has really been killing me with my time and tons of homework. But back to December ( love Taylor Swift btw) I love December. Everything about the month makes me happy. The cold, hot coffee, snuggling in my warm blanket. It's the best. My Lily is born in December as well. We planned her party for the tenth. I am do excited shes excited! And who could forget Christmas! I love buying the kids gifts and trying to find things I know will make them happy!!! I will try to post more often. Later.

Free Beauty Bag

Yesterday, I received my Sample from target! It's a beauty bag filled with samples! I forgot all about it since I requested it back like in July. I was so excited to receive it tho. Its so pretty. I love the pattern and the feel is kinda like a silky feeling. It came with samples that I would definitely use.
