::life gets busy

**Before I get into this blog post, I just want to take a moment to acknowledge that today is the 12th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Not a day goes by where I'm not totally appreciative and grateful for the freedoms I call my own as an American. God Bless the families that lost loved ones.God Bless our Nation. God Bless everyone!**

Hi Friends,
It's been a very, very long time since I've last blogged. So many times I've thought to jump on here and write a thing or two, but the laundry wont do itself, the kids wont make dinner (dang it!) and I'm not Mary Poppins, so I can't just snap my fingers to get the house cleaned. Wouldn't that be nice?!

Anyhow, my boys are 2.5 years old... *sigh*... a lot has been happening with them in the last 6 months.

Here's a recap:

One thing that I've recently tackled that has been a success this summer is my vegetable/fruit garden! It's like my little therapy/hobby/pet project. I've got a history of being a poor gardener, so having this actually go better than planned has been a huge thing for me. It makes me feel good, proud and accomplished. I have tangible "fruits" of my labor, which is something I really needed at this point in my life. A FB friend said I should blog about how to grow a successful garden, so I'm taking that into consideration. I'd love to do something like that, but it would definitely be a seasonal thing, since I can't grow a garden year round (weather issues).

Have any of you ever grown a garden? 
Is it something you've ever considered?
