I'm don't know why I even have a blog...

I never know what to write about; however, in the name of springtime, and projects, and creativity, and self-discipline, and all those sorts of good things, I think I will try to post something here everyday for a while. You know- pretty pictures, inspiring thoughts and the like.

I shall begin with an update on my last post detailing my New Year's resolutions.
I must confess that I have broken my first Resolution (never to buy any cleaning products or toiletries in 2013) but ONLY because it conflicted with my second Resolution (to do my hair and wear makeup more often). I purchased new mascara and foundation. It was for a worthy cause. My face.

I also bought some carpet spot-cleaner. This is definitely a Resolution fail because there are dozens of "recipes" for cleaners using household items/ingredients. Yep, just googled it. There's tons.

I'll spare you the details of how I have failed in my other resolutions and move on to my positive reports.

I have organized my craft supplies. The consummate blogger would have taken before and after photos with an instructional video but you'll just have to take my word for it. And perhaps find amusement in my use of the word 'consummate'.


I just read my post so far to Addison, and he commented that I am a lovely dork.
He is so supportive.


We have moved and have met many of our neighbours which I would like to believe means that I have become more friendly although it could also mean that I am married to the most friendly person in the world. Which is making me more friendly. That covers two. Yay for me!

And finally, my last positive report complete with pictures (just like a real blog)...

Beautiful seedlings for my patio garden!! Aren't they precious?

I love them. I water them everyday and whisper sweet nothings to them because they are just too cute to ignore.

 I don't think we have enough sun for tomatoes so I am testing how green my thumb is with cilantro, basil, lettuce, kale, spinach, lavetara, and german poppies. With our indoor plants, Addison has proven to be the true gardener- when left to me they wilted and withered. I am making a fresh start with these little seedlings.

And speaking of seedlings...

                                        

                                                       This one's pretty cute too.
He has only displayed a little bit of sibling jealousy by attempting to pull an entire tray of seedlings off the window sill but despite my maudlin reaction ("Nooooooooooo! Not my babies!!"), only one spinach was lost. Here he is with the spoils still fresh on his face.

Actually, I think this picture might be from another time that he ate some dirt  got dirt on his face somehow. I think we were probably doing something educational and bonding together when it happened.

Ok, that's all for now. Happy April!

And just so no one thinks I have my priorities mixed up:

This is my real baby.

These are my plants.

And just in case you need to clean your carpet.

And because I think these are fun words and I am awarding myself extra blog points for using them:
