Home Farming

So every year about this time, I decide I am going to plant a garden and every year about a month from now I have dead plants. I just don't have all the right info, where to plant, what to plant, when to plant, how much water etc. I ultimately would love to have lovely flowers that I could pick and make beautiful arrangements. I'd also love to grow my own food...hello inner hippie...but I am all about it!

So to my surprise, my mindless 30 minutes of TV when I got home today actually paid off! Ellen, oh she is the best! Ellen did a segment on home farming, this is something I could really get into I think? The statistics are amazing, we really could wipe out hunger in this country if cities joined this movement. Sorry for the political diversion, but it's true....and hello saving on the grocery bill who doesn't want that!

So check out the movement below...

Neutral Baby Room

So yet another friend is having a baby, but she isn't finding out which makes the challenge of designing the nursery pretty great. Baby Bedding tends to be either pink, or blue.
