Flowers, Dirt and Worms

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Dustyn’s Nana had a birthday last Saturday. When I asked him what he wanted to get her he said, “Flowers!”. So he picked out hydrangeas for her. So sweet. They found some worms when planting them. Dustyn picked them up right away. I was surprised.

If you want to download this template or any of the other ones click here.

My sweet Carsyn will be 2 years old in 10 days!! Very crazy!! By the way I will be having a Birthday Bash for him like I did with Dustyn and him last year. So look for a bunch of awesome Etsy shops coming up after May 21st!

    Loving the dirt and worms. This is my future too. Xander is still creeped out by them at this point. I remember playing with worms as a kid all the time. I was fascinated with the fact that they grow back if you cut them in half. Disturbing now that I think about it.

    I though my 2yo would be anti-worms, but she picks them right up, too! Then she tries to put them in her mouth--gross. Lol. Have a great week!

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
