3 Easy Curb Appeal Tips (for the low-maintenance gardener!) #LetsGarden

May 10, 2015 By Wendy 40 Comments

  This post has been sponsored by Monrovia, but all opinions are my own. Why Monrovia plants? Because my Mom says so, and Mom is always right. OK, so that’s not the only reason we’re Monrovia gardening fans (although Mom’s opinion is usually the one I trust.) I’m a lifetime garden lover and my husband…

Kids' Reading Room Makeover Inspiration with Carpet One #InspiredHome

March 12, 2015 By Wendy 17 Comments

This carpet and flooring shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #InspiredHome #CollectiveBias Longtime ABCGP readers might know that this past year has been pretty chaotic at our house.

Zucchini Recipes: Zucchini Shepherd’s Pie

July 20, 2014 By Wendy 26 Comments

And so it begins. The zucchini onslaught. Please send zucchini recipes, STAT! In fact, it’s almost Sneak Some Zucchini onto your Neighbor’s Porch Day. (Although that usually works better at night.)

July 11, 2014 By Wendy Leave a Comment

This post was brought to you by the folks at ChooseCartons.com. As much as I’d like all of our food to come from our garden and local farms, there are still things we need from the grocery store. I do my best to avoid anything that comes in a can, so I’m always on the…

His way or my way? I'm letting #PGEveryday settle it!

June 19, 2014 By Wendy 6 Comments

My husband. He’s an outdoorsy guy through and through, and a very good daddy. He teaches the kids how to build things, how to take care of the yard, how to grow good things to eat… He’s definitely a hands-on dad. In more ways than one. Yup, that’s a groundhog. And now that I’ve gotten that little…

How to Make Wild Violet Syrup

May 15, 2014 By Wendy 32 Comments

My grandmother always loved wild violets. I do, too, and that’s why they were the flowers I chose for my wedding.
