Organic Awesomeness | Vegetable Plots

There is absolutely NOTHING that can beat fresh fruit and veggies from your own garden. No chemicals, no week-on-a-boat transportation, no fake ripening. Just pure goodness from your own soil. And when you hold your first, very own, little tomato in your hands, it’s just like when you held your newborn: tiny and wrinkly, but my god is it the most beautiful thing you have ever seen!

I made my garden plots 3 years ago. I did not read a tutorial. I am not a builder. I am just a mom who is not afraid to get a bunch of 4×4’s and 6 inch nails and, with a “how-hard-can-it-be” attitude, whack the thing together. It is probably my most rewarding DIY project I have ever done. It works, it looks good and I am dying to plan to plant my third harvest and start seeding this month. And, last but not least, my son actually knows how vegetables get “made” and is part of the process from buying the seeds in the store to harvesting. Is there any better way to make your toddler eat his or her greens?

The Kitchen Hub | DIY Chalkboard Wall

“Organized” is not a word that springs to anyone’s mind when describing me in high school, and that was when I was only running my own life. Now, with two small children who have different classes and after-school activities, my husband’s job, sports and social activities, along with trying to start my own business, organization is my saviour!

Freshen up your porch for Spring! | DIY Spring Planter

Say goodbye to your brown, dried out holiday planter! Freshen up your porch with a “springtime” planter to hold you over until the warm weather and planting season arrives.

After a very long, quite cold, rather miserable, dragged-out winter, (including a March that only saw one – maybe two – days above 5 degrees) my “Christmas” planter had to go. Asap. Read more
