Garage Sale

I am currently trying to get ready for my first (and hopefully only) garage sale of the summer. It is really rough trying to plan it and prepare for it 300 miles away. I am going to have to leave my hubby for almost a week to get everything taken care of and to actually have the sale, so I am hoping it will be worth it.

I have placed numerous "free" ads online, made a fb event, and had an ad placed in the Shopper (our local newspaper). I am hoping that all the advertising will generate enough money to cover my travel costs (and to buy me a cute new summer dress).

Here is a link to the ad that I put on yardsalesearch.com

"Porch" Garden

I am so disappointed... every time my plants start to look really good something happens. Right now there is mold on the soil of some of the containers because of the crappy weather. I have been trying to research what to do about it, but there doesn't seem to be a common popular answer. I have read about bleach, vinegar, and baking soda solutions as well as soapy water.

I think I will try the vinegar. I read that you want to dilute 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water and lightly mist the soil where the mold is growing. Wait a day and if the mold has not died, spray it again.

Its a new week :-)

I have decided that it is time that I really start changing the way that I eat and live. It is time to start swapping out food with loads of artificial ingredients in it for REAL food... this means no more white bread and no more "enriched macaroni product". Whole grain foods are in; as well as fresh fruits and vegetables (organic if the price is comparable). Water is going to be consumed much more often and less pop will be brought into the house.

As the weather gets nicer I am going to start going for daily bike rides/walks and possibly swim. I can't wait to be able to get outside and get my exercise in. I absolutely hate "working out" in a work out room or at home. It doesn't matter what activity I'm doing, I always find working out indoors to be boring.

Here's to a new week :-)
