Just a few words… It was so much fun to pick these tomatoes with K. After we picked them and washed them, we enjoyed eating them together on the kitchen floor. They may have been tiny, but they were delicious!

Help! My Tomato Plant is Under Attack!!!
Posted by jen on August 16th, 2010
One day all was well, the next my plant is SWARMED with Witeflies! Hundreds and hundreds of these tiny annoying flies are covering my plant and they swarm in a cloud when I water it. I read online that a solution of Pantene ProV  Clarifying Shampoo and water coated all over the leaves (front and back) [...]

Posted by jen on August 15th, 2010
My daughter loves pictures, especially pictures of herself and people she knows. She comes by it honestly, her Mimi is a amateur photographer, her Pop-Pop is a professional and I take like a zillion pictures of her! Her favorite books to “read” are her our family photobooks, but I want to keep them nice so I only let her [...]
My Tomato Plant Journey – Part 7
Posted by jen on August 10th, 2010
The plant is alive and well. In fact, it is growing like a weed. And imagine my surprise and excitement when I checked on the plant today to see two bright red tomatoes!!! Remember the fruit buds I was so excited to see on July 6? They are finally little tomatoes. Note the emphasis on little and see [...]
Throw a Christmas in July Party
Posted by jen on July 16th, 2010
I wish I could take credit for the following adorableness, but I have to give all credit to my friend Susan who is truly and out-of-the-box creative mom. The best part is that she doesn’t even realize just how cool she is, but she comes up with some really neat things for her four boys to do. [...]
An Easy and Clean Art Project for a Toddler
Posted by jen on July 9th, 2010
I love to create. While I wouldn’t consider myself an artist, my love of creating my own art projects began when I was little and continues to this day. I love to scrapbook, make greeting cards, hair bows, sew, party decor and more – I love to create. Nature or nurture, I will never be [...]

The little tomato plant that could! We went away for the 4th of July weekend, and look what I came home to. When I saw it, I was sure that the plant was still trending down, but WOW! I have my first AND second tomatoes on the plant! Check out the bigger of the two! Plus, the [...]
My Tomato Plant Journey – Part 5
Posted by jen on June 28th, 2010
I swear, I am not trying to kill this plant, but I may be doing a good job at it… My poor little plant. I am notoriously forgetful, so I keep forgetting to water it, for like a week at a time. In my mind, all the rain should keep it happy, but we’ve had [...]
How to Make Mickey Minnie Mouse Ears for a Party!
Posted by jen on June 16th, 2010
This post is a long time coming. I made 30 pairs of ears for my daughter’s second birthday party back in March. When “designing” the ears, I looked all over the Internet for a good guide, but everything I found was too complicated or too simple. I wanted something reasonable, but super cute. So, as [...]

I already knew I was clueless when it came to my little tomato plant project, but I have now realized just how clueless I am… My tomato plant has outgrown its little stake,  it just isn’t cutting it any more. Poor plant was falling over, again. So, my wonderful husband offered to pick up a tomato cage at [...]
