Mini Road Trip

Today I had to travel to the big city of Jackson, MS for work. I visited about 6 bridal shops and 3 travel agencies passing out brochures and spreading the word on our resort. While driving to Jackson, I passed several flea markets and thrift stores that I must go to if I was to have time on my way home. I was able to stop at a couple flea markets and purchased my first piece of pyrex :) I was pretty excited about this find. The blue piece is what I found at the flea market and the yellow piece is what I found at my grandma's house tonight. I say today was pretty successful!!

How does my garden grow??

I am walking on new territory and its pretty fun!! About a month ago I decided I would plant a small little salad garden from seeds. I never thought those tiny little seeds would actually become green and amount to something. Well especially with me taking care of them. I guess you could say I was not born with a green thumb. But I'm learning. I wish I would have taken pictures weekly because its quite amazing how quick they grow over night. Here are some things that I'm growing...

This is 3 different types of herbs in this pot. Basil, Sage and parsley

These are some of my carrots.

Cucumber 

Radish 

Some type of lettuce

Maybe if all goes well, we will have fresh salad in a month or 2. 

Some things I've been searching the web for these days...

Conner has been wanting a water fountain, so I am on a mission to find one that would fit our back patio area.

 Outdoor lighting is a love of mine. I would love to add some latterns or strands of lights to our patio area

I think this little area is the neatest!

 I love these pillows

organized pantry

 Outdoor seating areas

  creative ways to use mason jars

 a nice antique cabinet to use outside to grow herbs and store things in



I love this boy sooo much!!!

Saturday was very busy for us!!! Conner ran his 1/2 mile race Saturday morning and did soo good. I was a very proud mom. After the race, Baby Grayson had his BIG 1 Birthday Party. There was a jump and slide so Conner had plenty of things to keep him entertained. At about 5:30 that afternoon, Conner told me he had to use the bathroom. After leaving him alone for 5 min, this is what I came in and saw...

Bless his precious heart!! I have never seen him this tired. He actually did not wake up until the next morning.
