We Grow Health And Fun Memories #GroSomethingGreater

This post brought to you by Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been writing about growing my vegetable garden this year, and my reasons for growing… to give my family the best I can, because I’m raising two young gentlemen. In my garden, behind our home, I grow health, with vegetables and herbs, and […]

  • When I try to grow things die the best I got is an aloe plant because it just can’t die LOL.

  • I have so much to learn about gardening still. I’m giving a go of it right now, but we’ll see…

  • I love planting a garden , it makes me feel great when I can walk out to my garden and pick fresh veggies for meals.

  • One day I’ll get a garden going…I kill plants like Colleen too, so it’s hard.

  • Good tips! My dad loved to garden so I grew up helping him! I can’t wait for the freezes to be over so I can plant some flowers and start our garden!

  • I’m really looking forward to planting my garden. I have to wait another month or the frost will get it.

  • I’m picking up my veggies tomorrow 🙂

  • I love growing green beans! They are super easy and hardy to grow. But now I really want to grow a cucumber or eggplant. We keep dipping down into the frost area at night… so I’m weary to even really start planting things yet. 🙁

  • I’ll be planting my garden next week after I pick up my starter plants. Excited!

  • Not allowing the perfectionist to take over is always extremely difficult for me. I am excited to see your garden continue to progress.

  • I’ve really tried to plant a garden in the past, but it never worked out. It would be okay for a few weeks and then the plants would die. Looks like your garden is off to a good start.

  • I so wish we had a yard or apartment with light so we could grow things as this looks great to use!

  • We are working on a garden this year. It will be nice to eat the fruits of our labor.

  • We grow for our health, our enjoyment and for our customers. We have a very small CSA but will be growing for others, plus selling extra produce at our farm stand. I planted lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, sunflowers and a bunch of other things on Saturday in trays. I’m still too nervous to plant in the ground because of how cold it’s been.

  • These are great suggestions. I decided this year that I wasn’t going to be so hands-on. So far, it’s working out better than last year.

  • My only tip is to be diligent in caring for them as I’ve killed a lot of plants 😛

Little Link Baby Monitor- So Advanced It Can Alert You When Your Baby Is Moving Or Crying!

You can never feel too secure about your baby’s safety, especially when you can’t see them, so a baby monitor is a must have. The Little Link by LorexBaby is a portable baby monitor that lets you keep an eye on your child from your tablet or smart phone, so no matter where you are, […]

  • Now, that is a wonderful baby monitor, and the picture quality is phenomenal!

  • This looks like something I would use. I always want to know what’s going on with my little one.

  • An HD monitor that can be viewed from your phone AND is complete with motion and sound detection? Where was this just six short years ago?!

Homemade Pumpkin Cheese Ravioli Recipe

Pumpkin is a super delicious and vitamin-packed vegetable that is traditionally found in autumn recipes, but it’s so tasty and versatile that is can really be used in dishes any time of year, especially since it’s available canned. Pumpkin is a superfood, with fiber, vitamin A and Beta Carotene, and it not only adds incredible […]

  • I would never have thought of using canned pumpkin in this way. These look incredible!

  • What a unique and interesting way to add pumpkin to a recipe.

  • I’m totally making this. I even have those Wonton Wrappers in my freezer that were leftovers from a previous recipe that I wasn’t sure what to do with – now I know!

  • Jennifer

    I can’t wait to try this! I have everything but the won ton wrappers. I’m pinning this to my Graduation 2014 board on Pinterest!

  • I’m usually not a big fan of ravioli, but that looks super good, especially with the pumpkin added to it. Yum, yum! 🙂

  • Donna

    I love pumpkin, but I wouldn’t have thought to use it this way. I can’t wait to try it, though!

  • I am really interested in the savory way you used pumpkin! Definitely looks like something I would be interested in trying.

  • I love pumpkin recipes but I’m not sure about pumpkin ravioli.

  • Yum! I love pumpkin and ravioli so this is the ideal recipe to make for my family.

  • Penelope

    Then you should give it a try, it’s surprisingly awesome! I tasted it raw (uncooked) after mixed in the bowl and thought “eh” and then I cooked it and couldn’t believe how delicious it was- pumpkin is surprising that way (it’s great in pancakes, cheesecake, etc…it’s a secret, unexpected ingredient that just kinda works 😉 ) If you try it one, will you let me know what you think?

  • I would have never come up with something like this! Sounds and looks amazing! THanks for the recipe!

  • This looks amazing! I would have never thought to do this , thanks for sharing. 🙂

  • Raijean

    Now that’s creative! I wonder if it tastes as good as it looks.

  • Penelope

    It tastes surprisingly delicious (that filling is cheesy and melty and yummy)

  • Yes, yes, yes. That’s totally something I would gobble up happily!

  • Those look amazing. I love the mix of flavors for pumpkin and cheesecake.

  • Oh this looks so easy to make! I bet my boys would get a kick out of it too. I’m going to have to make this soon. 🙂

  • This pumpkin ravioli recipe looks divine. I’ll have to try it soon.

  • What a great idea! I love pumpkin.

  • I don’t eat anything with pumpkin in it (long story) but my family loves, so I’ll definitely be making this for them.

  • I bet these are delicious and I love that the recipe uses very few ingredients.

  • sounds really delicious I’d certainly love to give them a try

  • How clever to use wonton skins for the wrapper. This sounds very unique and I’m curious as to how the combination of pumpkin and cheese tastes.

  • Penelope

    Surprisingly yummy 🙂

  • Raijean

    Wow, i never thought of putting the 2 items together, it looks like it tastes good.

  • Even though it’s not Fall, I’ve been having a craving for some pumpkin. This pumpkin cheese ravioli sounds delicious. I will have to make it soon.

Create A Welcoming Entryway @RaymourFlanigan

Welcome home! Nothing is sweeter than returning home after a long day, especially if the entryway of your home envelopes you with warmth and coziness. Anyone who visits your home should feel it’s inviting, and the entryway can help do this. A home’s entryway should be three things to feel welcoming: beautiful, organized, and comfortable. […]

  • The Canterbury Credenza is absolutely beautiful and would look great in my dining room!

  • I just discovered my favorite furniture store. I have wanted a breakfast nook and small dining set for my bedroom. I want to add a section of the room to enjoy a morning coffee or a late night glass of wine. They have everything I have imagined for this and more. I found the Belfast 3 piece bar height dining set which is perfect for the bedroom. Then I found this beautiful Vantana 2 piece server with wine storage and buffets. You really have to open this page up and look at all it has to offer in order to appreciate this piece to the fullest. It’s just perfect for what I wanted. Once I found the two items that I really want for my next purchase for furniture I decided to check out a few more items of interest. I love antique looking furniture with all it’s curves and designs so when I saw the Savona 2-pc. Entertainment Center w/ 80″ TV Console I fell in love~! I would love to own this piece for my living/setting room. I now have 3 pieces of furniture on my next shopping spree wish list.
