i love succulents!

i love succulent plants! they are so easy to grow, and come in hundreds of different beautiful varieties!




last week i decided to be some what creative, and i saw this article on the  realsimple.com website where someone turned an old unused bird bath into a succulent planter! genius! 

my non working birdbath, cute right?

the holes were kind of big, so i lined the bottom with coffee filters so the water wouldn't drain so quickly

filled it with dirt, and added some of my succulent cuttings

i cant wait until its all filled out and beautiful looking

if you have iphone, get the diptic app, you can make cool collage pics like this, its pretty neat!

ill go through my garden and do another post of all the different succulents i have, i have kind of alot! hope you all had a wonderful weekend, mine starts later tonight!!! happy sunday <3

its spring time once again! dont you just love spring time? i do! blooming flowers, trees are getting their leaves back! everything is coming back to life!!! its also almost time for easter!!! this year i got a great idea from my friend over at http://lifeofamombie.blogspot.com to make and send out easter cards this year! what a great idea! i always whine about how busy i am blah blah blah! i surly can take 1 hour out of my day to make a couple of easy easter cards... so i did!

FIRST I BOUGHT A BOOK OF EASTER STICKERS FROM TARGET


AND STATIONARY 



I COLORED AND PUT STICKERS ON THEM 



HERE THEY ARE! ALL READY TO BE SENT OUT


I EVEN FOUND MY OLD, REALLY OLD, LIKE FROM THE LATE 80'S OLD, STATIONARY


and i thought to myself... why dont i just send out notes every now and then to people im thinking of, just to say hi, make someones day a little brighter... so thats what im going to start doing. my stationary is going to remain on my desk, to remind me, to make someones day special... because after all, i can make the time! thanks delane for opening my eyes!!

slow and steady...

i know,,, im a slacker! i just have a ton going on, so i post when i can, ok! anyway, i have lost 8 lbs since starting my new way of eating. not a diet mind you, just a different way of eating. we (the hubs and i) call it the cave man diet. we eat meat, fruit,veg basically if it grew from the ground we eat it, if not, we think twice about eating it. low carb,,, less than 100 grams a day! limited bread, no pasta, rice, beans, etc... i still eat healthy carbs such as fruit, but i really watch the unhealthy carbs! every morning we eat bacon and eggs for breakfast!!! no more boring oatmeal! at least once a week we eat fast food,,, its really not that bad for you! i know its crazy! to understand you need to watch a movie the hubs and i watched! its called "FATHEAD" you can find it on netflix instant que. its a very interesting movie! now i went this first month without working out just to prove a point... i lost 8 lbs eating fast food, bacon eggs, and fruit! now ill start working out and see how much more wight drops off in the next month. call me crazy! i know!!!!! but its working and i love it!!! hope it doesnt take me another 3 weeks to do another post! hahahah!
