Gurney's
Happy Memorial day! I am so thankful for the men and women who have served and are serving in the military for our freedom. Today is such a special day for America.
I hope all of you are having a great Memorial day so far. The weather here in VA is not the best. Every Memorial day we are at the lake but this year the weather just isn't that great. This morning I got a lot of work done in my garden so I am not complaining. I love having 1 extra day off during the week because I really feel like I had a mini vacation.
I want to share with you guys all my garden details as of now.
1. I want to give a huge shoutout to Gurney's Seeds for partnering with me and sending me samples of a ton of their seeds. I have always purchased my seeds from Gurney's. Everything I have bought from this company has been very successful. My papa has been gardening his entire life and his number 1 company is Gurney's. He has been growing their seeds for years.
2. I am growing all of my plants on a creek bottom (which is a first for me). It made a huge difference in my gardening experience. A LOT MORE WORK, but my plants look the best they ever have.
3. I DON'T HAVE A WATER HOSE. Yes, you heard me correctly. I am not using a water hose because my garden is 1 mile from my house. I have a wagon connected to my 4 wheeler and I ride that down to my garden. I back the wagon up to the creek and fill up my water buckets and that is how I water my garden. Luckily, we have had a lot of rain recently, and I haven't had to water my garden everyday.
4. I am so excited to share with you guys that this is my first year planting asparagus and they came UP. GUYS THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN. ASPARAGUS TAKES 2 YEARS TO EVEN GROW. Not really sure how I got so lucky.
5. I wanted to share with you guys a little about my fencing around my garden. We have so many deer at our house. Not even kidding every time I come down the driveway it is about 14 deer standing in our yard. I knew when I planted a garden that I was going to have to put major fencing around it to keep the deer out. I am so thankful that my husband is a cowboy because we had cow paneling laying around. He used paneling and then added orange wiring around the paneling so nothing could crawl through. It has worked so far (fingers crossed that continues).
6. My cherry tomatoes are producing! Just waiting for them to turn red.
I hope you guys have a great Memorial Day.

Sometimes you just have to save the laundry for later
Happy Sunday Everyone! I hope you guys had an amazing weekend! I am so sad to see it go.
I named this blog post "sometimes you just have to save the laundry for later" because that is exactly what I did this weekend. I felt like I had so much to do around the house this weekend but I decided to go out and hang out with the ones I love.
Friday night was great because my parents/brother/grandparents came over to see my garden (how precious, I know). Then we went to dinner at the lake because the weather was amazing.
Saturday I decided to go to the strawberry festival with my parents and brother. I never do stuff like that anymore. I am always so busy. I am so glad I just decided to hold off the laundry until later.
Sunday (today) was one of my favorite days! I said no to laundry AGAIN! Yes, Again! So glad I did. Chad and I went to church as always, and then came back home and napped until like 4:30. We both needed that. I am so glad he got to nap because he never gets to. After our long nap I went and worked in my garden for a few hours. Then we took the top off of the jeep and drove it around in the fields checking on the horses!
It is weekends like this that I will remember. You wont always remember the weekends you did laundry. I have really tried to not sweat the small stuff, but enjoy being with family and friends! Don't get me wrong I think it is so important to keep your house work going, but sometimes it is okay to save it for later.
I hope you guys had a great weekend!
Now it is time to get this busy work week started!

Spring Overalls
It's almost Friday! I am so excited for the weekend because 1. My Grandparents are coming over tomorrow evening and helping me in my garden (yes they're the sweetest). Honestly nothing makes me happier in life. 2. It's suppose to rain on Sunday and that is a good thing for me because I will not have to water my garden! 3. I am just so happy it's the weekend haha! I hope you guys have fun plans!
I remember when I was in college and the weekend was just another day, and now in the adult world the weekends are everything!
I just wanted to come on here and tell you guys about this adorable overall dress. I ordered this dress on amazon for $16. I am so obsessed with overall dresses right now and I have no idea why. I have had the hardest time finding one that isn't to short. I am so picky when it comes to dresses because I feel so uncomfortable if anything is short. I love being able to walk around and not worry if my skirt/dress is going to come up. This dress was the perfect length.
Lets skip to the shoes.... These shoes are amazing! I will be wearing these all summer. I have wore these 4 out of the 5 days at work this week. They go with everything! I bought these amazing shoes at Tjmaxx (whats new) for under $50. I am also very picky when it comes to shoes because I always try and find the most unique ones. SHOES MAKE YOUR OUTFIT!
I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

Why I think Tjmaxx is the best
Happy Tuesday! I am so excited about tonights blog post! I have some exciting news for you guys! I officially have someone who is willing to take all of my blog photos!!!!! It's so great! I finally can get this blog thing up and running (full time).
I just want to share with you guys why I think Tjmaxx is the best. 1st off this entire outfit is Tjmaxx except my shoes. I love Tjmaxx so much because I never know what I am going to buy every time I go into the store. I go in having no idea what I am going to find. Most of the time I come out spending way to much money (thanks to the checkout line).
2nd- I always always always find something unique. This amazing jacket pictured above was something I was not searching for but when I saw it I had to get it. It looks great with white pants as well. It makes any outfit pop.
3rd- The PRICES!!! The prices are amazing. I am such a trendy person so I don't like spending an arm and leg for something, because I might only wear it once or twice. Tjmaxx allows me to buy lots of new clothes and not feel guilty about it.
Shop TJMAXX!
