I'm not sure when my obsession with birds and butterflies began. Probably the same age as my daughter---now coming up on three. She loves them too and simply states it because we are girls. It makes me smile, and this craft day project did, too. Out to

Permalink
Posted by Guest Blogger 7/30/2010 2:53:00 PM
By: Veronica Sliva How is your garden growing? It’s mid-summer and by now you know if things are going well in your garden or not. What seemed like a good idea in late April may be a disaster by late July. Even though there’s lots of growing time left

Permalink
Posted by Guest Blogger 7/2/2010 2:44:00 PM

Makeover: From Untamed Wild to Blooming Garden

Permalink
Posted by Alicia Cox 7/1/2010 9:30:00 AM
I love how the flowers are growing towards the sun I've never been a gardener. I once killed a cactus. A cactus, people! They survive just fine in the desert, but oh no, one week at my house is too much. So this week's makeover is a gardening triumph

By: Veronica Sliva I’m a garden tool junkie. I probably have one of everything that was ever manufactured. But the truth is, I keep going back to the same ones over and over again. I like tools that are comfortable and easy to use…and difficult for me

Giveaway: Keep Dad Safe

Permalink
Posted by Vanessa 6/16/2010 11:00:00 AM
Father's Day will either bring ties and T-shirts or hammers and drills into your home or garage. If dad/hubby/partner is handy, he's probably getting some sort of tool he'll soon put to work. And while I'm sure he's not too klutzy, you can never be too

Looking to make memories? Or shame your dad by showing him up at a Build-It-Yourself workshop? Thankfully, dads these days seem too busy sharing the household chores to really spend quality time in the workshop, and if your dad is one to really miss it,

How to Garden: Tomato Dilemmas

Permalink
Posted by Guest Blogger 6/11/2010 4:14:00 PM
By: Veronica Sliva Last week, against my better judgment I planted my tomatoes . Tomatoes don’t like cold soil no matter how warm the air is. My rule is if you can’t plunk your derriere down on the soil and sit awhile without too much of a chill, then
