In the Garden: Bountiful Harvests
Our garden is continuing to provide us with bountiful harvests. We have cucumbers by the basketful, zucchinis the size of newborn babies, bushels of green beans, peppers galore, and more. We are eating well thanks to our garden. While all of this produce is wonderful the only downside is that when it is ready, it’s…
In the Garden: There is no prize for the biggest zucchini. :)
We have had a lot of rain this week so I haven’t had to worry about watering my garden for a long time which has been great. The cooler temperatures this week have also helped my garden continue to grow and thrive. It is so full and and everything looks so green. While the rain…
In the Garden: Pickles, Peppers & Not Enough Time
We have been getting lots of cucumbers, pepperoncini peppers, and jalapeño peppers from the garden this week. Last week we had tons of zucchini but they have slowed down this week. So far we are up to 49 cucumbers, 41 zucchini, and more peppers than I am going to keep track of. I have been…

June 2014 at Blessings Overflowing
It is hard to believe another month has come to a close. June was really a great month for our family. One of the highlights of our month was getting to take a vacation. While I shared several pictures with you about our trip, here is one of my kids and husband that I didn’t share….
In the Garden: Tomatoes, Green Beans & Zucchini
Our garden has provided us with even more fresh produce than last week, and has continued to grow like crazy. I think the 3 inches of rain on Tuesday, which thankfully only left my garden wet and not flooded, combined with the hot days has really helped. This week we have been enjoying more broccoli…
{Summer Reading} Matilda
The first book on our summer reading list that we finished was Matilda by Roald Dahl (Affiliate Link. Thanks for supporting this site). I had never personally read this book so it was new for all of us. My kids really got into this book and some nights would beg me to read “just one…
{Summer Bucket List} Have a Picnic & Play at a Park
The summer is flying by and we are making the most of it. We are spending lots of time relaxing, enjoying the outdoors, and just being together. Even though I like the fact that our schedule is more flexible in the summer, I still like to make a summer bucket list (Essentially, it’s just a list fun…
