About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

House Plants Half Price Now


I've been waiting all summer to get a big bushy palm, and this week they were half price at Wallyworld. I treated myself to a fern and a large palm. This was a nice treat considering we have several holes in our ceiling from two home repairs. One repair is still not fixed because the pipe is leaking again. Our vacuum broke(snapped in two!) after the workmen left on Friday, so there is still lots of dust. Amazon is sending us a new(different) stick vacuum for our hard surface flooring and low pile area rugs - hoping it comes quickly.

So I got some "pretty" to counter the ugly. I may check back in a week or two to see if the large house plants have been reduced some more. They really make a room feel lush and alive, and fill in empty corners nicely with texture.

Yeah, it beats looking at the ugly hole in the kitchen ceiling and listening to drip, drip, drip after bath time. ;)
