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

His way or my way? I'm letting #PGEveryday settle it!
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
My grandmother always loved wild violets. I do, too, and that’s why they were the flowers I chose for my wedding. Not the smartest move, perhaps, since the edible candied violets were impossible to find and I had to order some that were imported from France. They sat atop vanilla bean cupcakes swirled with white…
