GARDENING ~ Outdoor spaces ~

Today I wanted to share with you a couple posts I did on my garden A LONG time ago. When we moved in this house there was NO garden, no flower bed, no flowers. Only bushes, shrubs, and some beautiful azaleas, which I removed, because I didn't know how pretty they are when they are in bloom, (sad face).

Oh well, you learn as you go along, and I used to love being out in my garden, but  SADLY the past two summers have left me with little to no motivation to get out there in the HOT sun, with 3 kids, one of which has been up to now extremely clingy, and try to garden. So I've been left with a mess out there.

Hopefully I can get some things done this weekend, and coming up week. I don't think I'm going to bother with buying TOO many flowers, especially wince summer is nearly over, and before I know it, fall rolls in,  and so do the mums. I also am going to forget about any veggie garden I had been dreaming of, better luck next year. 

Anyway, until I get some pics of my work in progress, I will share 2 posts I already did on my garden. If you are new, maybe you haven't seen them, and if you already have, pretend like you didn't and tell me what you think OK, hehe.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and baking. In fact my mother and I have been making cakes for over 30 years. I also love gardening, traveling, and all things crafty. I struggle daily to keep my like organized, along with my never ending battle to keep the house clean. I adore my three kids MOST of the time, and can usually be found doing the mom thing from morning till night. I try to catch a few mommy moments, but those are hard to find in this wonderful life of mine. I am blessed and happy, and am thrilled you stopped by today :)
