~My 'Coke' Garden~

Yes, I have a Coke garden. I know. You've watched me with pensive eyes for years, wondering when my inner bad a$$ would come out. Well it's here, now that I've become a mother. I need to save money for my kids education right? Don't they say that it will cost something like $1,000,000.00 to raise a kid nowadays? I want to have two!!! So I needed to have ALOT of money!!! So I searched online how to best do it, got the instructions, went to Home Depot and bought the stuff, and came home and got the ball rolling. I figure in a couple of weeks my first crop will be ready. Betcha didn't know you could grow Coke eh?

Hahaha! Anyhow, I found this idea on a recycling website and liked it so much that I thought I would try it. You basically use the bottles as a greenhouse to help start seedlings and then as they start to grow you cut off the top of the bottle and they grow out of the top. There are holes punched in the bottom to allow them to be watered and you just sit them in a pan of water for like 5 minutes once or twice a week. I planted some Thai Basil and Mint in mine so we'll see how they turn out! I'll keep posting pics as they grow!

Also here are some cute pics of Ethan from the last couple of days!

I went to get him up from his nap yesterday and walked in to find him cuddling up to his Stollery Hospital bear and alternatively chewing on its ear. I had to get the camera! It was so cute!



So I've let my hair grow out since Ethan was born...lack of time, energy and money for a cut honestly! But now I have another good reason...he loves playing with my hair! Usually he just sits and giggles when I run my hair over him and lets his hands run through it. I knew it was coming soon though...I'm not that naive...the time where he would close his little fists with an handful! I had to call Randy to help last night, he had handfuls! So what does he do? Laugh his butt off and run for the camera! Anyhow...


Well that's it for me! I'm off to bake some banana bread for Randy's lunch, I've only had the recipe on the counter for two weeks now!
