How Our Garden Grows || 4

One of my goals for April was to update you on the garden! It's been awhile since I've shared!

To catch you up: be sure to check out Part One, Two and Three of the How Our Garden Grows series to see how far we've come!

 The lettuce/spring mix seeds that we planted in the pallets started sprouting! Little babies :) and I'm so proud of them!

 And our blueberry bush started producing more little blueberry clusters!

 Best of all, in February we had our first bit of produce! A cherry heirloom tomato! Yes, it was already on the vine when we bought the plant -- but hey, it was small and green! We got it all the way to ripe and beautiful! Our first gardening success!

The Marsh man l.o.v.e.s. tomatoes, and was SO pleased with this tasty treat. Don't garden tomatoes taste remarkably better than buying them in the store? There's such a noticeable difference in flavor!

So that brings us to the end of February on the garden! -- stay tuned, people, because it just keeps getting better! If you drove by my garden today, you'd be so proud of me ... minus the blueberry plant for some reason :/ ... but hey, live and learn! This sure is fun :)

Have you started a garden?

Time for Tuesday Talk! || April showers are upon us!

Thank you so much for coming onto Mitchael Journey to link up and get to know our family a little bit more! 

This week we've had rainy days and have spent a lot of time indoors because of the storms. Rainy days mean less walks, tossing the ball outside and going swimming, so we've done a few other fun things this week! Little Marsh and I made a pizza and he wore my apron!

We spent the morning mixing the dough, padding out the crust, spreading the sauce, picking and placing toppings, baking and then enjoyed it for lunch! 

I have to say, it was deeeelish! 

What are some of your favorite rainy day toys and activities? I'd love to know, I think we may have some more rain a' comin'! In fact, I'd love for your to link-up any posts you have on that topic on Tuesday Talk today! April showers are upon us! 

Stay tuned this week for a GIVEAWAY starting MAY 1st [FRIDAY!], plus, link-up with My Monthly Goals right here during the entire first week of each month. Share your goals for May! Join to be encouraged and inspired!

Ember's First Beach Trip + My Sister Came to Town!

This past weekend was such a treat for me! My sister, Leah flew in from Arkansas to visit us in So Flo for the FIRST time since we've moved here :) I was really looking forward to her trip, because it is such a treat to have one-on-one time with Leah. She has two kids of her own, so it can be hard to get away, I am so thankful that she did!

We headed to the beach on Monday and had gorgeous weather! Seriously, I couldn't have ordered it more perfect! Ocean breeze, a bit overcast, warm - but not too hot -- and a wading pool sort of tide with the waves crashing far away from my sweet little son! We really enjoyed the relaxing time :)

Marshall and Leah worked hard in the sand, but not too hard!

 

 A nice man let Marshall borrow his bucket and shovel to create some sandcastles!

Josh and Ember waited in the car for a bit, thinking it would be too hot -- but we let them know that the temperature was ideal -- and they came to join us!

Ember slept the beach day away, but hey, she got to smell the salty air and feel the mist on her toes!

 It was so nice to just chill! Leah even buried Marshall in the sand! That's one way to keep him from running off, hands free!

What are some ways you enjoy a family day?
