This post contains Amazon affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays -- I love the special time that I get to spend with family and friends during this season. But as someone who loves to garden and play in the dirt year-round, this season and the approach of winter can make me sad! I know that it will be several months before I will be gardening again. That's why I love the idea of Continue reading...

Fun Fall Decorating Ideas

written by Lauren

fall decorating ideas

Thanks to Oriental Trading for providing me with the Thanksgiving pumpkins shared in this post. I was provided free decor items in exchange for my honest review. Earlier this week, I've shared some of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and previous years. I do a lot of decorating, so I still have a lot of fall decor ideas to share!

Concrete Block Raised Garden Bed

written by Lauren

cinder block raised garden bed filled with mums

  Over a year ago, I created an outdoor seating area in my yard with a few concrete/cinder blocks and some wood. Sadly the top of the bench didn't last long. Just before this summer, the wood warped, and the adhesive that held the wood to the concrete block base of the bench dried up. I debated whether to fix the bench or find another use for the concrete blocks. My family and I never used the bench much, so I nixed the idea of rebuilding it. (Even though the bench was pretty!) I thought about building a fire pit with the blocks, but my daughters didn't think we'd use it much. Continue reading...
