My Home Improvements Bucket List- One Down! #DigIn #HeartOutdoors

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot. Cultivating my first salad garden this year was a fun experience, especially when I see the results of using my City Pickers Garden Kit from Home Depot. Those little struggling lettuce transplants from a few weeks ago? Now look like this: […]

  • wow that really turned out nicely

  • We’re putting in a new deck next month. I am so excited about it.

  • I would love to grow a garden. I’m waiting for my husband to build me a awooden box. Maybe I’ll just get one at Home Depot like you did.

  • wow! they grew super quick!

  • nicole @nicky_olea

    That is so awesome. Wish I could find one of those here in Italia!

  • That’s awesome that they look that great after just a week! Will you keep them in the container you have them in the whole time? I’d love to do some gardening, but we just don’t have room. If I could do them in containers or pots it might be a possibility.

  • Your lettuce plants are doing great! I bet you can’t wait to make you a nice, homegrown salad ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Your garden looks great!

  • I have that same planter and cannot wait until I can pick my tomatoes and peppers!

  • Thank goodness for container gardening. That’s all we could do this year!

  • Penelope

    It was actually a few weeks, but yep, fast progress ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Wow, that is awesome. They’ve really taken off. You’re inspiring me.

  • Jennifer @ The Quirky Momma

    What a beautiful little container garden! Great job!

  • You go, girl! I’m sure you’ll fly through that DIY list before you know it!

  • Donna

    I love anything fresh out of the garden! We have some outdoor projects, but finishing my sun room takes precedence. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • They turned out great!

  • I grow herbs in containers, but am totally going to grow some salad greens now.

  • Your little garden looks great! ๐Ÿ™‚ And I can’t wait to see how you do your other bucket list. I bet it’ll all look fab!

  • Our garden (our first ever) is really starting to take off and it’s so awesome to watch! With the garden and getting our grout cleaned checked off the home improvement bucket list, I think redoing our banister is next!

  • Penelope

    These home improvements are additive, I tell ya ๐Ÿ™‚ I want to do more and more, especially after seeing how easy they can be (and it makes me feel great when I do it myself, with my own two hands- I feel so capable!)

  • Looks great!

  • Wow, looks like it is really coming along now. Some of the items on your list are on mine as well for this summer!

  • Your garden looks great!

  • I wish it wasn’t too hot already here for a salad garden … can’t wait for fall to put one in! I have a few things in our garden but most of our time this spring has been spent building our coop. We are *thisclose* to having it finished!

  • We plan to build a huge planter box in our backyard in the next month or so! I’m so excited!

  • Your garden turned out great!

  • Looks great!

  • Those plants got big FAST!

  • I’ve gotten a lot done in my yard but only have one more larger project planned this year… a veggie trellis hideout for my daughter and the dog. Of course the two of them will probably eat the produce before I can get to it…lol

  • Pretty garden!

  • I wish I were into gardening. I would love to grow my own stuff ๐Ÿ™‚

Marriage Isn’t Perfect {Guest Post}

Your wedding was a storybook affair. Hair piled high and dressed in whitest white, your groom was handsome, the cake to die for, and your vows romantic. Fast forward three years and the dress is sealed in a box, the cake seems to have settled on your midriff, and your husband, while still handsome, has […]

My Children Watch Netflix Kids (and Nothing Else) #NetflixKids

Before we got married, my husband was a big tv watcher. He couldn’t believe I didn’t have cable or even basic television in my home to watch shows daily. I said “I don’t need those, I have Netflix“. After we got married, he got it. He is now a die hard Netflix fan, and recommends […]

  • We got rid of our cable about a year and a half ago and just do Netflix and Hulu+. It’s a way cheaper alternative and my boys love the selection on Netflix. They can watch power rangers until their heart’s content. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Jennifer @ The Quirky Momma

    I absolutely love Netflix and so does my entire family. We definitely get our money’s worth.

  • We just got it. My daughter loves it!

  • I think it’s fabulous that they have a sort of channel for kids. I’m so with you on that silly little monkey too. He’s adorable!

  • Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea there was a Netflix Kids. We downgraded to very basic cable and have none of the good kid channels, so this would be perfect for us!

  • Tammy

    We don’t actually stream any TV, unless we miss taping something on our DVR. There are still too many shows we enjoy watching that you can’t get on Netflix ๐Ÿ™

  • We had Netflix for a long time but recently got rid of it due to some issues with freezing and them not figuring it out. Now we are talking about getting rid of expensive cable and trying them again. Love all the kids shows they offer!

  • My kids love Netflix. It is a part of their nightly bed-time routine.

  • We’re thinking of making the switch once our current contract is up.

  • we have been using amazon prime a lot.

  • My family watches a lot of Netflix!

  • My daughter almost exclusively watched Netflix Kids… there are so many shows!

  • This is very cool

  • We have Netflix but I didn’t realize they had Netflix Kids

  • Donna

    We love Netflix. I’m currently watching their original series “Hemlock Grove”. It’s a bit out there, but I’m loving it!

  • My son is a diehard fan of Daniel Tiger. We watch the PBS lineup in the morning.

  • I like that – a lot. Wish that there was a version for my 18 year old.

  • I really like that you can view the Netflix Kids only section to avoid your kids accidentally viewing any inappropriate material. With three kids in the target age group, this would be a lifesaver.

  • This is such great news. We love our netflix and I’m so glad for more kid options.

  • We love Netflix. My youngest childs favorite show right now is Phineas and Ferb.

  • We use Netflix on a daily basis because we don’t have cable anymore. it just didn’t make sense to have cable when Netflix has almost everything we need. I love that they have the new Netflix for Kids area. My 8yo can login and she knows exactly what to look for and that everything in there is safe for her and her 3yo sister.

  • We love NetFlix around here!

  • All we watch is Netflix, but Yo Gabba Gabba wasn’t available today. Honestly if they cancelled it, I’m cancelling my subscription. It is my daughter’s absolute favorite.

  • It seems that they’ve change it a lot since the last time we had an account there. Seems like they’re offering some great shows for kids!

  • My son loves watching Netflix Kids- and we use Netflix all the time to find new shows. {&My son is Curious George obsessed!}

  • my 5 yr old is obsessed with Netflix and Batman, superheros I love that its available all day everyday and no extra cost even if you watch it all day long. I only wish they allowed it on more than 3 devices at once. we have 4 kids and they never all want to watch the same thing

  • You had me at Curious George! We love him!

  • That’s what my kids watch too. They love Netflix!

  • My son loves to watch the dinosaur shows on Netflix. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • My son love Superhero Squad on Netflix!

  • I love Netflix for Kids, we have it on the Wii, computers and iPad and I don’t have to worry about the boys watching anything inappropriate.

  • We love, love, love, love Netflix here.

  • Love Netflix!

Show Us Your #FlossFace For A Chance To Win

My dentist always asks me if I floss. Why? Because flossing is pretty darned important if you want to prevent things like tartar, plaque, and gum disease (and in my family, tartar seems to be predominant, so for a pretty smile, we have to floss). Flossing also helps fight against cavities and bad breath, so […]
