Last week I featured 10 Ideas for Your Home.
You see all of these ah-mazing ideas right here

I also shared some tips on how to grow & care for petunias. Be sure to check that out. :)


How to Grow & Care for Petunias

Good morning! Happy Tuesday! I don’t know if you know this or not, but I love flowers! :) When we first got married (26 years ago TOMORROW!) I didn’t have such a green thumb. ha! I always planted pansies in the spring in Texas. Then I would wonder why they died so quickly. Pansies don’t love heat, & they really should be planted in the fall not spring. I’ve gotten just a little bit better over the years. It’s a mix of planting the right type of flowers & watering & feeding them enough, too. For the last several years, I’ve planted petunias in our front flower pots, and I just love them! They are super easy to grow & flower all summer long & into the fall. Let me show you how easy they are to take care of! :)

Good morning! I know many of you are thinking about getting a Cricut. You might be asking yourself, “Is it easy to use a Cricut?” or “How does a Cricut work?” or “What can I make with Cricut?”. Well, I am here to answer all those questions & more. ;) Annnnd if you have any other questions, let me know those, too! :) The best way to show what a Cricut machine can do is to walk you through a project. I recently made this DIY Teacher Sign (for my brother!) with my Cricut Maker. Let me show you how I made this & answer some of those burning questions! :)
