Cupcakes & Planting

Those of you who know us well know that we're kind of sugar nazis.  It's not that we don't ever give our kids sugar, we just limit it to a couple of times a week.

So imagine Emerson and Jax's surprise when Daddy brought them home from their last day of preschool a few weeks ago and I was waiting in the kitchen with a cupcake mix, assorted sprinkles, and some cute cupcake liners.  They were stoked!  The little bakers did a great job.




The following Saturday, we all stopped by a nursery after our workout, and I bought plants for the front and back pots.  I didn't do much last year, and I really regretted not putting in the effort.  So here is what my front pots look like... I have one on each side of the front step.


In the back, I have two pots that look like this.


My little pots have oregano, sweet basil, and rosemary.  Crossing my fingers that these herbs do well and I don't kill them!





I, of course, had GREAT helpers all weekend long!  

Inspecting for worms...


I love Jax's expression in this one.

  1. Your pots look great!! That front porch container is very snazzy-looking.

  2. I like the black pot, too! Target came through for me. Jason thought it was a little too traditional/modern, but I'm realizing I steer traditional on a lot of things.

    And I want you to come over for some cupcakes, too! Maybe we should get all the kids in Liz's kitchen for a bake-a-thon. Or maybe not.

  3. Cupcakes?? Works for me!! I can't wait! Also, just so you know, oregano will take over that whole pot. And basil in the pot did not work for me last year but did great in the ground. And I love fresh basil so I planted it again this year. My oregano never died and survived all winter!
