On January 18th I decided to try to grow Lemon trees from a lemon seed. And….drum roll please. Our lemon seeds have turned into seedlings. I am going to have to practice because out of several lemons seeds I only have two seedlings, but there is still hope for the others. I’m going to give […]
I think I can safely say that Valentine’s Day preparations are over for me. It was fun and the kids will love it at school tomorrow, but geez…I’m tired. So here is the low down on goodie bags. Here are the supplies you need: Clear plastic bags Ribbon Chex Mix (no peanuts in case of allergies) […]
