Starting Somewhere: Gearing Up For Gardening

compost

We went out into the front yard and started collecting dirt and leaves.  I then started setting a plate on my counter and put all of our coffee grounds, egg shells, tea bags, and fruit and veggie peelings on it.  Each day, or whenever I deemed it too gross to be in my kitchen, one of my children would step out on the back deck and dump the plate into the bin.

So, I started composting.  You know, for that garden I don’t have yet.  And with that in mind, I could really use some advice about what I’m doing.  To leave me some suggestions (or just encouragement!) please visit me at Heart of the Matter today.  And who knows, maybe we could all start going green together.

Dear Friends, About Those Babies Of Yours

I want to visit with you about those little ones of yours.  Oh, no, don’t worry, their imperfections don’t bother me at all.  Their loudness and messiness, nah, I’m used to that, and, secretly think it’s endearing – at least I know my kids aren’t the only ones.  I have no judgment for you, sweet friend, you have enough of that without me.  I just wanted to let you know that I understand that this baby-raising business can be tricky and that maybe my words can soothe your confused soul.

Still Walkin’ That Ol’ Sweet Path

Here’re 3 of our monkeys just a few short years ago.  This is at the combined birthday party for ThePrincess (turning one here) and TheMiddlest (turning 3).  TheOldest is helping (four at the time).  BigMan was not in the works and this one growing in my belly wasn’t even dreamed of.  How much sweetness we’ve been blessed with.  How I love these sweeties.  And my how they’ve grown.
