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!!

 

 

 

 



What I'm Lovin' On

My sister Tracy gave me this all-purpose cleaner as a hostess gift on Mother's Day. 

The special summer scent is Tomato Vine.  I love it and have never been quite this

fascinated with wiping counters and tables.  It comes from Target.  I went back and bought more because I was toting it back and forth from home to DC.  Crazy lady.

My elephant watering can at the day care given to me by Granny.

It has the easiest stream of water that comes from the truck that doesn't damage your plants.

You can buy one at amazon HERE.

My luscious basil, parsley and chives growing in this old water tub/sink that

I bought at an estate sale.

I am crushing on both of these books. 

I bought The Secret Life of Bees at a yard sale last Saturday for one dollar and haven't wanted to put it down since I began reading it. 

I got Steal Like an Artist in the mailbox yesterday and am already inspired!



 

This puppy belly.  Soft as can be.
