Adventures in Gardening

Well, it is that time again.  Time to till the soil.  Time for more gardening adventures:)

Last year's gardening, didn't quite go so well.

This year we were wondering if we should even bother with a garden since we don't know how long we will be here.  But we still have a few house repairs to make and painting galore.  So, it could still take a while before we are ready to list our house~ sorry Al:)

We decided to plant a couple of plants and see how things went this year.  And if we end up moving before the end of the season, the new owners will get a nice treat:)

This year is more low key.  We planted sweet peppers, cucumbers and squash.  I have a Strawberry hanging basket (that is mobile and can come with us:).  Plus, we were shocked and super surprised when I noticed green leaves on our grape plants.  I thought for sure I had killed them.   Guess not.  Now, lets see how we do this year.

Here are some pictures of our very small garden this year:
Strawberry plant doing awesome so far

Cucumbers, peppers and squash
Are you thinking about gardening?  Have you planted a garden?  What have you planted or are thinking about planting this year?

Family Fun Day #2 in April

Saturday was not as nice as last Saturday but it was sunny and not raining.  We got hit with a nasty storm Friday paired with a Tornado Watch made for an interesting evening.  Chris had his best friend over and we decided to get the boys out of the house and off the computer:)  We went to a park that we had forgotten all about but have never explored.  We headed out and had fun.  Even the teenagers had fun:)
Even the teenagers enjoying the playground

Where there is water- you will find my boys:)

Nathan lounging on top of the monkey bars

Kevin just hanging around
Caterpillars- spring is here:)
We can't wait to see where our next family adventure will take us:)

Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Review & Giveaway- CLOSED

You would think that I love testing out laundry detergents.  If that is what you are thinking, you are so correct.  What's even better is every laundry detergent I get, the first thing I do is to open the cap and smell it.  Don't ask me why I feel the need to HAVE to smell the laundry detergent but I do:)

I eagerly opened the Purex box as soon as it arrived and opened the top and sniffed.  Oh my- Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash smells heavenly.  It smells just like a Pina Colada:)  I want to do laundry all the time with this detergent.  Not only does it clean well but it smells like a tropical paradise:)
Purex brand is proud to present the launch of an exciting new fragrance as part of its Natural Elements line.  Exotic fruits like pineapple and coconut combine with distant flowers to take your nose on a tropical vacation.

Purex Naturals Elements Tropical Splash offers natural fragrance extracts providing a great scent with a formula gentle enough for sensitive skin all with an awesome cleaning power.

Purex Naturals Elements Tropical Splash works in both HE and traditional washing machines.

Want to see how Purex works for your clothes?  Purex was nice to send me 3 coupons good for a FREE bottle of Purex Naturals Elements Tropical Splash to share with my wonderful readers.  Entering is super easy~ just leave me a comment and you will be entered to win 1 coupon.

This coupon giveaway will end on May 5, 2013.  3 winners will be selected at random and contacted on May 6, 2013.

**Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent in exchange for a product review.  However, all opinions expressed here are my very own**

Family Fun in April

We have decided to attempt to take 1 day a month and unplug from all the electronics.  To just spend the day with one another.

The weather Saturday was absolutely beautiful.  We decided to pack a lunch and have a picnic at a park with a lot of trails.

Of course, this was the day there was an event at the park.  So parking was an adventure all by itself:)  We did find a place to park wayyyy over by the playground at the other side of the park.  We enjoyed a picnic lunch, let the boys play on the playground and set out for our own adventure.


Exploring nature


Love this picture

Nathan was the only one willing to let me take a picture

Loving the swing

Jumping off a fallen tree

Oops sliding down the hill into the creek

Trying to climb back up
"Trying" really hard to not get wet~ inching little by little

Look see still not wet

Not all of me got wet:)
Our goal was to reconnect- to enjoy each others company.  I think we accomplished that nicely:)  We had a blast.  Nathan and little Michael slept the entire way home.  We can't wait for our next family fun adventure.

Soft Scrub Advanced Surface Review & Giveaway- CLOSED

Soft Scrub Advanced Surface is a rinse free gel that cleans and polishes granite and marble countertops, glass cooktops and stainless steel.  Soft Scrub Advanced Surface is tough on stains yet gentle on delicate surfaces.
When I saw that Soft Scrub Advanced Surface can be used on glass cooktops, I jumped at the chance to test it.  Our regular glass top cleaner was just not cutting it.  My stovetop needed help. 

I wish I had thought about taking pictures before we used Soft Scrub Advanced Surface.  This stuff is great.  I cannot rave about it enough.  It took off black burnt on gunk on my stove that we couldn't get off, not even with elbow grease:)  We have scrubbed and scrubbed the stove and used just about everything under the sun to clean it and nothing got it completely clean.  We thought the burnt on stuff was here to stay.

I don't think I have ever been excited to clean the stove.  The Soft Scrub box came and I couldn't wait to test it out.  I know I am weird like that:) 

Soft Scrub Advanced Surface is a gel so we applied the gel to our stove.  We let is sit for 1 minute per the directions on the back of the bottle.  We grabbed a rag and wiped the gel off the stove.  So much of the black burnt on gunk came off.  I was so excited.  Not all of it came off but a good amount did.  And every time we use it, more comes off- yay:)  I love this Soft Scrub Advanced Surface.

Soft Scrub was nice to include 3 coupons good for a FREE Soft Scrub product to bless my readers with.  Wasn't that sweet:)

As with all my giveaways, entering is super easy.  Just comment and let me know that you would like to win a coupon and Voila you will be entered to win 1 coupon:)

This coupon giveaway will end on April 21, 2013. (3) lucky winners will be randomly selected and contacted on April 22, 2013.

Soft Scrub is proud to introduce the Don't Worry Be Happy Sweepstakes. One lucky winner will win $1,000 and 250 second place winners will get to try Soft Scrub Advanced Surface for FREE:) Click here to enter into the Soft Scrub Sweepstakes.

**Soft Scrub provided me a free sample of their Soft Scrub Advanced Surface cleaner so I could review it. However, all opinions expressed here are my very own**

Lowes Build & Grow Clinic~ 04/13/2013

Lowes will be hosting a Build & Grow Clinic on April 13, 2013 at 10am.

If you are looking for a great free activity that you can do with your kids- you should check out the Lowes Build & Grow Clinics. Little Michael and Nathan love them. They love being able to do hands on projects with our help.

This Saturday, Lowes Build and Grow Clinic will be building The Croods~ Planter. 



To sign up for this Build & Grow Clinic, simply go to the Lowes Build & Grow Clinic website, which they have redone to make it more user friendly. I am loving this new website. You register all your information. Then when you visit the website to sign up for an upcoming clinic, all you have to do is sign in and check which kids you are signing up. Don't forget to print and sign the waiver. And you and your child(ren) are ready for a really cool FREE hands on project.

Once you and your child(ren) complete the project they will receive a neat patch to put on their Lowes Build & Grow apron. If this is your first clinic, your child(ren) will receive a free Lowes Build & Grow apron and goggles:) The more clinics you do, the more patches you get to put on your kids apron and they can show them off with pride:)

Our Spring Break Adventures

We had so much planned for the boys to spend their Spring Break.  We were so excited but we also didn't want to feel rushed.  So, we did what we could and took our time.  I must say, I love not having to set my alarm at 6am to get the boys that go to school up and ready.  I wish I could say I was well rested but truthfully, my mind said you don't have to set your alarm you can sleep in- stay up just a little more.  Well, I listened and ended up staying up later than I had planned.  But I get to sleep in right??  Well, not exactly.  My 3 yr old alarm didn't quite understand that it was Spring Break and mommy needed just a bit more sleep:)

Here is how we spent our Spring Break:
~Monday- nothing exciting- just grocery shopping:)

~Tuesday- Story Time at the library and an Easter Egg Hunt.  I was surprised that only 4 kids showed up and 2 of them were mine.  Our librarian told us that there were well over 1000 eggs hidden- oh my:)  The boys had a blast.  After the hunt had begun about 7 or 8 kids showed up to enjoy in the Easter Egg Madness:)

~Wednesday- We went to Maymont.  The boys had so much fun looking at and petting the animals, we got to try some Kale (which was yummy), they got to plant some radish seeds (unfortunately they didn't make it home all in 1 piece), climbed some really big rocks and had some great adventures:)






~Thursday- we were still tired from our Maymont trip so we decided to stay at home (by we I mean the adults).  We took the boys to the playground to burn off some energy.  Where they got the energy from~ I am still trying to figure out:)


~Friday- we were supposed to have a picnic lunch at the park.  But Kevin's eye was swollen and very red.  He said going outside caused a burning feeling in his eye- so not fun.  So, off to the doctor we went.  It was discovered that Kevin got something in his eye and rubbed his eye causing whatever was in his eye to scratch his eye.  So, we had to stay home for the rest of the week to let his eye rest and heal.

~Saturday- my dad came by see if we could get the kitchen counter installed.  After a vehicle incident, not accident, incident he finally got to our house.  Our counter installation was a long full exhausting day.  Anything that could go wrong did and them some.  But we finally got it done.  And I must say~ I love my new counter.  It is so new and shiny:)  I didn't get an upclose before picture of our counter, so imagine a green dull counter.  But now:

Even though we did have to make a doctor's visit, we still had a really great Spring Break:)  Now back to reality and alarm setting:)
