Planters and Pregnancy

Happy Friday! Hope you've had a great week. Ours has been crazy busy, and it's not showing signs of slowing down. Tomorrow we have a soccer game, baseball pictures and a baseball game, a cross country meet and a guitar recital ... all before 2pm. I'm getting heart palpitations just thinking about it!

So, I'm keeping it short and sweet tonight. I just want to share with you the one home project I accomplished today.  Remember these boxwoods I got for the front entrance?


Well, today they finally got new living quarters and a few roommates...


I chose ivy geraniums because they usually do well in this spot. (And, because I know my dog doesn't eat them.) I chose the purple super bells, because they like full sun and require no maintenance other than watering. (Not sure if they're on the dog's diet plan. I guess I'll find out soon enough).



I was so happy with how they turned out. And I was thrilled when the woman working at the nursery told me I was the cutest pregnant girl she's seen. Did I mention to you that I was pregnant? No? Well, maybe that's because I'M NOT!!!!

So add an ab workout and a Garnet Hill tunic-burning to tomorrow's list of activities.


(Oh, and don't forget Sarah's Summer Cottage premieres on HGTV tomorrow night. I can't wait!!)

  1. They look great! I have waiting to see you put these boxwoods in planters. Didn't take you long.....

    Forget about that stupid woman and the pregnancy comment. Concentrate on the important part of that story....that you are NOT pregnant!!! lol

  6. That's funny. I hope you set her straight. Some people need to keep their mouth shut when they aren't sure. Don't burn the tunic! lol

    Love those planters.

  7. Thanks, ladies! A woman could be giving birth any second, and I still wouldn't ask her if she was pregnant. You just never know :) If I had been wearing a regular t-shirt, I would have been completely offended. But, in the woman's defense, the shirt really does look like a maternity one. (It couldn't possibly have been my belly... ha!) And, Lesley is right. The important thing is that I'm not pregnant :) You'd think I would have gotten a big ole discount on my plants after the emotional distress that woman caused me :)

  9. OMG what a comment! I had that happen once too. It was a year after my second born! She would probably say the same thing to me now too!
    Happy Mother's Day! :)

  10. NO!!!!!! I would have said, "That I am not. But, what I am, is interested in what my huge discount will now look like." Come on people!

    BTW, your planters look gorgeous :D
