happy-mothers-day

I just wanted to wish all the Moms out there a very happy Mother’s Day! I hope you all get spoiled like I did this morning. I got a homeade breakfast from hubby & son, and some very nice presents, including three more plants for me to try not to kill. ;) My favorite gift- was the above Acrostic Poem from my 7-year old son Austin that put a big smile on my face and reminded me just how blessed I am to be his Mom and how proud I am of him.

I am also so thankful for my Mom, who has taught me throughout my life to be strong, patient, kind, tolerant, giving and so much more – qualities that I now do my best to instill in my child.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone- and thanks to all the Moms who teach their children how to try and be the best they can be. I truly believe it is what will make the world a better place.  I hope you all have a wonderful day!

pineapple-8-weeks

For those of you who have seen my earlier Pineapple posts- just reporting in that it’s doing great! In about 8 weeks, it’s grown from the little bud I posted about HERE, to the size of I would say a large grapefruit, (and much bigger than my little frog friend ;) ). Growing this pineapple has been a big feat for me, as usually nothing I plant survives, so it’s very exciting and I hope it keeps growing!

It’s starting to lean a little bit, so I am hoping the stalk can support it as it grows. I can’t wait until we can actually pluck it off and eat it, and I think I will cut the top off it and grow yet another plant! :)

I hope you enjoy the day and that you also have an opportunity to spend it with family and friends. I hope the Easter Bunny brought lots of goodies and that you all have a wonderful day! :)

valentines-mailbox

Hope you all enjoy a Happy Valentine’s Day and get lots of sweets and treats and a little spoiling too. :) My son Austin wanted to make a Valentine’s Mailbox this year- so he did. He made it out of cardboard and then I helped him wrap it in red tissue and he decorated it with heart stickers. (anyone recognize the clearance Christmas Wrapping Tissue from Target?) ;)

Anyway, he did a great job, and later decided he wanted it to be for my husband & I too- which I thought was sweet. A family mailbox, so that everyone could put little surprises and notes and cards in it from each other all week. We will be opening it tonight & I think it’s the start of a new family tradition!  I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

pineapple-plant

For those of you who have followed the blog for a while, you may remember a post I did over the summer about watering my plants without my glasses on and  mistaking a frog for a budding pineapple. :) And, yes I felt super silly about being so clueless about what a baby pineapple plant looks and feels like, but the good news is now I finally know! After over THREE LONG YEARS I am finally starting to see the beginning of a pineapple!

On my previous post, Catherine & Jen had actually suggested putting a spoiling apple in with the plant and covering it with a trash bag for a week, and I did do that, so maybe it helped (-Thank you ladies!). I have been watching it closely (with my glasses on) and trying to keep it watered and cared for. And now I am just so excited, I am finally growing a pineapple so I thought I would share! ;)
