Potting bench inspiration - DIY

Ohhhhh! I forgot to mention, also at the gardens I found my new inspiration for a potting bench :) I'm sure if ur recycling pallets would be a cheap and easy project! I'm adding it to my list! My brain is busy! Keep watching to see what I can come up with,,,,,,, herbs on top instead of the kinda cheesy flower decoration. Anywho it's late! I must turn off :)

Another hot summer day!

Even at 97 degrees,Bella and I had a great afternoon playing outdoors. We spent the afternoon at Lewis Ginter Britannical Garden! This is one of my most favorite places to take Kids! You could spend all day there or just a couple hours! One of the best perks you can bring in your own food and drink! They have double strollers available at no cost, and once you get to the water play, sandbox, and treehouse the adults get to rest while the kids burn energy! Check it out while you can still visit the butterfly interactive exhibit!

Our Doggie of the week

May 12, 2012 marked a day of sorrow, Of celebration, and relief!


For months I had been dreading this day, as it has been one year since My best friend Lola been lost her life! My dog Lola was very first baby! I loved her with all my heart! It has been a very hard struggle to deal with the accident!

Thankfully we kept busy that day it didn't give me much time to think about how much I was missing her!

We celebrated with friends who supporting the at the wedding! We are so very happy for them to have found each other even a little later in life!

We had to leave the wedding a little early for something we have been waiting for for over five years! Justin has finally completed his patch layers degree in biology! We went to his commencement and watched him walk, in fact I Bella followed him right up on stage and received her very own diploma! As mommy and daddy were very embarrassed we were stopped several times on the way out to be as others wanted to congratulate Bella & oh course that darling lil blinds day!

Joe's parents took us all out for a celebration dinner at Kona Grill!

I even manage to see my tears for the following day!
