About Me

I am a stay at home mom with four awesome kids that absolutely fascinate me. I have a wonderful husband who is my best friend. A day just isn't right without him in it. There isn't anything I won't try. And there isn't enough time for all the projects on my list.

Seed catalogs and garden dreaming

Well, I’ve scoured the seed catalogs and been to every website I can find that has to do with gardening. I have spent countless hours filling my cart at one seed company and then another. I’ve compared prices, quality of seed, heirloom or not and organic. And when it was all said and done I [...]
