Stubborness

“Thought of the Day”

Trying to potty train a little boy (in my experience), is like trying to train a three legged dog to walk backwards……….. it’s gonna take a while!

Still adorable though.

Fruits of Our Labor

This weekend we decided it was time to pick some of the things we have growing in our garden.  The collards have been ready for a while now but I wanted to save them for Easter dinner.  We picked a bunch of romaine lettuce for caesar salads, too.  The radishes and carrots have been a lesson learned.  We have grown 99% of the things we have from seeds and Todd starts them all in little peat cups so he can just drop them in the beds when they’re ready.  They dissolve over time.  Apparently that’s a bad idea for root vegetables because they grow faster than the cups dissolve  so the cups have restricted their growth.  Luckily Florida has many, many more months of growing season and plenty of time to grow more.

TONS of cucumber blossoms!  I can’t wait to make pickles!  We planted the watermelon plants this weekend too.  Todd has done such a great job with our garden.  It really is a lot of work but it’s so fun to see everything grow and then be able to cook it.

How to Style a Low Bun

It’s the perfect season for easy and elegant up-dos. Maybe you are getting your outfit together for a friends wedding or for your senior prom. Here’s a simple style for a cute low bun, you could dress this up with little flower blooms or ribbon!

1. Seperate a few thick strands from the top of your head (where your part naturally ends) and tease them by brushing the hair up toward your head. 2. Pull your hair down, styling it into a low pony tail. 3. Fluff up the teased part of your hair. 4. Now that you have a volumnious low pony tail use a hair tie to keep it in place. 5. Seperate the hair of your pony tail in half, tease the upper half. 6. Use the lower half (the unteased hair) and flip over the top or your teased bun. 7. Wrap hair around the base of your bun and pin it in place. 8. Style any loose strands.
