Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
As we get ready to spend time outdoors with friends and family this summer, be it for a special occasion like Father’s Day or the 4th of July, or just your average weekend barbecue, we first have to face the often painful task of actually getting our yards ready for these events. And this includes tidying up your deck or porch area.
But the folks at Homeright are making the job a little easier with their new deck washer!
I have to admit, my husband does the mowing and most the hard work, but I do help with the flower beds and the general clean up. And regardless of who’s doing what, I’m always interested in finding products that can make our yard work easier!
As we get ready to tackle the yard this spring and summer, I’m excited to try this new Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix. Here are some of the benefits you get from it:
• Up to 3X the Flowers and Vegetables!* *versus native soil
• Significantly improves soil for multiple years
• Concentrated planting mix expands up to 3X when water is
added
• Feeds for up to 6 months
• All natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than basic potting
soil
Personally I can think of a few different ways in which I’d like to use this. For one, I’ve got a tree in my backyard that needs to be transplanted, and I think the Expand ‘n Gro would be great to use for the transplanting process.
Also, I was at the store the other day and saw some buttercups (daffodils) for sale. They are my favorite flower, and it would be so great to have some planted around the house.
Here’a quick video to show you how Expand ‘n Gro works!

A couple of months ago we got a new entertainment center, and we were amazed at just how great it looked! So now the next thing on our list is a new couch and love seat or recliner, and then perhaps a sisal rug.

It’s not too late to think about adding a little fall flair to your Thanksgiving table. Here some easy and inexpensive, last minute ideas.
Create the perfect fall buffet by placing your food trays on top of pumpkins! Or mix in some smaller pumpkins and gourds in and around your buffet.
Here’s a display that’s easy and very inexpensive. Take bottles or jars, and place the letters “T-H-A-N-K-S” on them. (You could even recycle some mayonnaise or jelly jars and just shake up a little pain inside to add color.) Then place straw, fall flowers, leaves, corn husks, or anything else you can think of in each one.
