Happy Monday (almost Tuesday), everyone! I’m linking up with Jenny and ladies tonight!
Thanking God for…
- the beautiful warm weather the past few days
- my hard-working husband
- my beautiful, precious, wonderful daughters
Enjoying yesterday’s sunshine!
I am praying for…
- the people of Venezuela
- the souls in purgatory
- several people and intentions listed in a prayer notebook that I just started
I am pondering…
- Starting a garden and all the details that go with it. I’ve been doing a lot of research!
I am reading…
- Witness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II by George Weigel. I’m still only just a tenth of the way through! It’s a long one, that’s for sure!
- The Everything Grow Your Own Vegetables Book: Your complete guide to planting, tending, and harvesting vegetables by Catherine Abbott. I’m so glad that I downloaded this on my Kindle for free a couple years ago! It was a pleasant surprise to find it! I knew it would come in handy at some point!
I am creating…
- My small 4×4 raised-bed vegetable garden! I’m starting small! I just ordered my organic non-GMO seeds and bought a seed starting kit today. I plan to do square foot gardening and grow things vertically as much as possible! I’m a little anxious about taking this on, but I’ve been wanting to grow my own vegetables for a long time and I’m determined to make it happen this year! (Any tips are welcome!)
I’m learning…
- Surprise – all about square foot gardening! I can’t wait to do this with my girls! They will absolutely love watching the tomato and pepper seeds sprout and grow! Let’s just hope I can do this successfully enough to transplant them in the garden once it’s time! I plan to document our adventure in gardening on this blog, so stay tuned!
Around the house…
- I’ve been decorating my kitchen a little more! I’m obsessed with the light aqua/turquoise color and I’m bringing splashes of it in where I can!
I got this at Hobby Lobby last week, but my husband isn’t sold on it! I love the color, though! It needs to be hung on the wall!
Look what I found…
- If you’re interested in where I found my non-GMO seeds, check out SeedsNow! They have an awesome variety of $.99 sampler packs! What’s extra awesome about all of the seeds offered on this site is that they can all be saved after harvest and used the following season, because they are non-hybrid. They also have a long-term shelf life!
I am looking forward to…
- Another warm day tomorrow! It’s almost spring!
- My youngest’s 3rd birthday next month!
A favorite quote for today…

Have a blessed week, friends!

I have a black thumb. So, let me know when the veggies are ready, and I’ll be by to pick some up! Really…this is pretty amazing and I can’t wait to see pictures throughout the process!
I totally have a black thumb, so this is a big leap for me! I’m going to commit and see what happens! 🙂
I am excited for you and your garden project; may soil, weather, man, and everything else cooperate for the results that you aspire! A gardener is one of God’s best stewards of nature.
Thank you! I know I’ll need all the help I can get!
There is a local farm offering gardening classes.
Love the non-GMO seed site.
Gardening is not easy in hot, dry Texas. Sigh.
Share more wisdom.
Blessings,
Em
Totally will be learning as I go along! Crossing my fingers! 🙂
