Happy New Year!

I truly hope everyone has done their end of year preparing and are ready for a new year.  I have tried my best.  I avoided a few chores and did some others but all in all I feel I'm pretty ready.  Yesterday the kids got in the mood to help me with chores at the day care.  I was half in shock when three of them asked me if they could help.  I happily said yes and happily rewarded their efforts with Smarties!  For the end of the year in blogging for me I thought I would share a trick the Miss Katie Bug likes to do.  She has trained me well I tell you.  We mainly play this way when I am in the kitchen cooking and can't use my hands.  She's such a smarty!  My friend Melia was over this past weekend for some catch-up girl time.  We had a blast together and she got a kick out of Kate doing this.  Love to all and Happy New Year!

 



Leave the Bugs Outside

When bringing indoor plants back inside that have spent the summer in the tropics of the outdoor world, it's a good idea to give them a light spray with a mild insecticide.  You really don't want to bring in a plant that has teeny tiny bugs on it that could spread to other plants inside and eventually could injure the life of your plants. 

 

You can choose a spray, something like this one, that is organic and approved for all plant types.  They are easy to find at WalMart in the plant section.  Give a light, over all spraying both on top and under the leaves.  I also give the soil surface a light spray for anything hibernating in the dirt.  It's important to keep your indoor plants healthy so they can help keep the air inside your home healthy!

 

 

 

 

P.S. Happy Birthday Jenn!!
