Although I’m pretty sore from this project (2 days later!) I am pretty happy that I took advantage of the beautiful sunny weather on Mother’s Day to clean out my perennial garden bed. I think it’s pretty obvious which is the before and which is the after picture!
The biggest challenge was not cutting down any new growth. Of course, I KNOW the best time to trim back perennials is in the fall but I got lazy and the weather turned cold quickly, so that chore never got done.
Despite the sore muscles, I’m happy with the outcome. I still have a couple of smaller areas to weed and make pretty so I’m thinking I should do that soon while I’ve got my outdoor motivation working!
WooHoo!! I have been looking forward to this event for a couple of weeks now! If you haven’t done so yet, go check out Mommyfest 2008 for fun contests, great interviews, and a chance to meet other moms online!
If it’s your first time to my blog, welcome! I’m Christina, mom of two wonderful girls and a cute but rambunctious puppy. I’m also a wife and WAHM who’s trying to make a full-time salary by working for myself rather than getting a J-O-B and working for someone else.
This is pretty much where I ramble about stuff…nothing in particular most days, just regular things that only moms would understand or appreciate. I’ll be writing more now since school is almost out and I like to share the different activities that I do with the kids during the summer. Would love to swap ideas with other moms who need to keep the kids busy during the summer months 
Looking forward to meeting more of you!
Better late than never! This is my entry for the Mommyfest 2008 chocolate contest. I definitely would not call myself a “photographer” and even some of my snapshots aren’t worth keeping but since the theme of the contest was “5 of something” I was inspired by these tulips. I first noticed them as green buds as the weather turned warmer but they were not real clear in the picture. I much prefer this gorgeous purple color! What’s even more amazing is that neither the deer nor the rabbits have eaten them!
If you haven’t checked out the fun stuff planned at Mommyfest 2008 yet, head over there now! There are memes, giveaways, and guest speakers while the event runs from May 12-16th. See you there!
