Container Gardening

Image
Have you ever tried container gardening? I have done this many times in the past seasons. It yields good results. Last year we moved to a new house, so most of my plants died off. I went out to the shed a few months ago, and noticed a small plant. It began to grow and now I have a tomato plant bearing many tomatoes. I picked my very first tomato off the plant just a few days ago. I have spent a lot of time pruning and trimming the plant, and it does help it grow. If you cut off some of the small stems you can root them to grow more tomato plants. I'm excited. I've already got over ten plants ready to go. They all came off the same plant that started. If you ever get the chance try container gardening you won't regret it.

French Vanilla Coffee Creamer

Hello everyone, hope your day is well. I have been playing around with some recipes again, and I have found one I do believe that will become a normal staple in my everyday life. I love coffee and it is pretty much something I need to be able to function day to day. My husband didn't even start drinking coffee until he met me over two years ago. However, it saves us from those groggy mornings. I have come across some recipes over the internet that have claimed they have the best "French vanilla coffee creamer." I have tasted many. Even the brand in the store that I buy doesn't compare to what I have just made. OH and a plus it helps those who are lactose intolerant. If you must use regular milk; then by all means use regular milk. It is whatever you have on hand, and what suits your fancy. :) The recipe is: French Vanilla Coffee Creamer 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 1 1/4 cup of milk (lactose free, fat free, reduced milk) 2-3 teaspoons o

FIVE Home Remedies for Earaches and Ear infections.

Image
Ever have that problem where you are fine one day and the next...BAM!!! you have an ear infection or ear ache. My friends I am suffering this right now. I am not a big fan of going to the doctor and taking a lot of prescription medications. If you are like me you scramble all over the internet to find simple little remedies that will help cure your painful woes. Earaches are very painful. First of all you have to determine the whereabouts of the pain. Ear infections are mostly more common in children than when we are adults. I remember having ear aches all the time. It was not fun at all, and my mother didn't like it either. However she stayed up with me through the night to calm me down so I could sleep. Ear wax buildup causes ear aches sometimes because they transfer a bacteria to our body and create an infection within our ear. Sometimes the wax buildup causes temporary loss of hearing. However if left untreated over time it can cause damage that results in permanent

I know I don't post here much :(

I really need to write here more. I actually prefer the Blogger/Google platform for blogs. I am trying out WordPress and I am just really not liking it. I hope I am able to transfer my dot.com here one day soon. We will see. However, for now I will post in both places. Then I might just stick here. I am so confused. You ever get that way. Life takes you so many directions. So many people out there have so many how to's to tell you how to do this and how to do that. How to make more money. How to be a better mom. How to be a better wife. How this, How that. OMG I just want to be able to thrive doing what I love. Is that too much to ask for. I am bombarded with all kinds of information from the web and many other places that I just get so darn aggravated and then I just want to give up. It's hard out there but there is one simple little thing we just keep leaving out.... Where is God in all this? Uh OH! yeah... I messed that up didn't I. I at one point didn't look
