I was hunting a nice organizer for the foil, wrap, and ziplock baggies, and I ran across several on Amazon, but the prices were $35.99 up to almost $70! I'm too cheap to pay that so I just decided to swap around two drawers and make the wraps/bags fit. The gallon ziplock bag box was … Continue reading It fits now!

I don't care what he says - Stella is most definitely Ted's cat, and Ted is most definitely Stella's person!

Gardening videos
This guy's videos are awesome! I love how easily and simply he explains things, and he walks the viewer through planting whatever he's growing from choosing the right container to how much light is needed to how often to water it. He's called The Prolific Familystead, and I've found him on Facebook and YouTube. Here's … Continue reading Gardening videos

Lavender Orpingtons

They aren't flighty or aggressive at all. Ted can lift him right off his roost at night without getting pecked or kicked. This guy is … Continue reading Lavender Orpingtons
