Must Have Monday – Garden Gear

My husband and three year old daughter PZ do the gardening around here. Not me. That doesn’t mean I don’t like to have some input on what gets planted and the overall look of our outdoor space. For example, I’m planning on making an oilcloth tablecloth for our picnic table and some of those punch tin can lanterns before the end of the month. There will be details on those projects later, but for now I’ve got some great garden gear and tutorials that will bloom excitement in even the most hesitant of gardeners and make your neighbors green with envy.

Must Have Monday – tutorials and handmade items to make your El Cinco de Mayo a hit!

My man and I have been together for fourteen years tomorrow. El Cinco De Mayo! Margaritas, fireworks – it is always a good time. This year we’re having a party/potluck with some families from my mom’s group and even celebrating O’s, one of the little guys from the group, third birthday. My hubby is a bit of a bbq fanatic, so no, this isn’t our first time entertaining outside this year and it certainly won’t be the last. If you’re anything like us you love having outside parties, too! Here are some great handmade items to buy and make to get your party season and El Cinco de Mayo started right!
