Well this is gonna be fun!!

12 packs of seeds. Various herbs for the kitchen and medicinal, 3 kinds of tomato (Roma, Cherry and canning) and a packet of heirloom bell peppers (multi color at that)... These seeds never stood a chance. After a 5 minute lack of sounds coming from my 4 yr old I knew something was up. Sure enough, there in the middle of my bedroom floor, a pile of shredded seed packets and a bowl holding what seeds she managed to not get on the floor. (Thank goodness I'm mid reno of my bedroom and thus have no carpet!) All the packets, not one or two, all! Why? I don't know. I asked. She says cause they looked cool. Of course they looked cool, they were on my shelf of mommies things never to touch. So after sweeping the floor with a make up brush for what seemed like hours (ok so a good 15 minutes) I had all the seeds in the bowl. Now I have a variety pack of herb seeds, a variety pack of tomato seeds and a pack of pepper seeds since those are easy enough to identify. The tomatoes I know, just no way of knowing which kind is what seeds. (I seriously hope I don't end up with 75 cherry tomato plants and 2 canners!!) Even still not so bad right? BUT.... Have y'all ever really looked at herb seeds? #TheyAllLookTheSame!!!! .. so
.. I'm just gonna throw them all in a flat of seed starter and see what happens. Surely at some point they'll become recognizable by smell probably before sight. Ahh the joys of parenthood.. At least I know at 39 I still have cool stuff!!

Moving, Chaos and Chickens (possibly not in that order!)

So it's been awhile. Sometimes I forget things, like the blog I created. Thank goodness the kid can talk right!? Anyways here I am. And I've put post it notes on my mirror so maybe, just maybe I can do better this time!

 We've moved since we last spoke.

View from the back porch of the new place. Great right?

 I'm rather excited about having somewhere to grow stuff. To grow the kid. The dog. Chickens! It could be I'm a little to excited about the chicken part but y'all I really miss having chickens and a garden. Really, really miss it. I grew up helping in the garden, helping Mama can the vegetables. And up til I moved to TN in 2008 I've always had one, and always had chickens and was fairly self reliant. Well it's back to all that for me. I'm kinda sick of paying store prices for sub par food. Sick of not knowing what's in it or on it. I've been gathering jars along and along so I'm ready. Oh yeah except for the part of actually putting in the garden! And building the chicken coop.. minor challenges right?

Oh oh oh! The new house has a nice shed out back!! Guys do you know what that means? I finally have a place that's not in my bedroom or dining room to do my Mosaic! To photograph and store my sales stuff! An actual workspace! Swoon! It's an absolute mess. We've been cleaning it out for days but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I guess that's all for now. I have lots to talk about now. Maybe something you'll find useful (hey entertaining at least). Peace and Love y'all!

Here we go!!

  Well I suppose I should start this whole blog adventure (and believe me its gonna be an adventure) off by introducing myself.

Me and my mini me Miss Abigail Ruth

 I'm Amy, a 39 year old mama of a 4 year old beautiful little girl. I currently live in Southern Middle Tennessee but was born and raised in Wellborn Florida. I love to cook. Love to make stuff. What kind of stuff you ask? EVERYSTUFF!! I have a huge problem with getting sidetracked and taking months to finish seemingly simple projects. I am easily distracted by shiny things. I am the worlds worst at motivating myself to get stuff done. Maybe that's why I want to blog, to have something that holds me accountable.. Or it could be I am distracting myself from that giant pile of laundry i seriously need to fold.. Whatever..

 Anyways people keep telling me I need to share my stuff so here we go. This isn't the typical blog, its gonna go all over the place like my brain does regularly. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do or say at any given minute. Consider yourself warned!!

  Anyways it's myself, my fiance Randy (I know, I know, bless his heart right?) Our daughter Abigail who runs the show, our lil dog Tink who is a Pug and Whiskers the cat who is crazy as a betsy bug. So I can't wait to share some of my life and ideas with you! 

 Have a blessed day!

                         Smile at someone random today! 

 Peace Out, Amy
