Blooming Paperwhites Fragrant Holiday Decor

Monday, November 12th, 2012
Paperwhites Bloom for the Holidays
Paperwhites are beautiful bulbs that are often forced to bloom around the holidays.  As  Paperwhites begin to grow as soon as they are planted, you will have amazing, fragrant flowers in 3-4 weeks. Paperwhite bulbs are easy to force as they do not require chilling to promote flowering. 

Paperwhites need only 3” of root room so shallow containers will work well like shown in the photo above. Pretty glass or ceramic bowls are ideal. For one-of-a-kind presentations, scout antique stores and estate sales for unusual containers. You can plant Paperwhites in soil, glass marbles, pebbles or even tumbled beach glass.  Because these flowers are usually discarded or transplanted after they have flowered, the planting medium doesn’t need to supply any nutrients for the plant.

20 Birthday Questions as They Grow

Monday, May 21st, 2012

20 Birthday Questions to ask as Your Kids Grow

As soon as children start talking, they are full of questions and usually, adults are doing all the answering.

A fun idea to do with your children is to ask them questions as they grow. Starting at age 3, and then every year on their birthday, ask them the same 20 questions and see how their answers change over the years!

This would make a great video as a collection of the answers each year to see how they’ve grown and matured. You could also take photos and make a book with your favorite photos and their answers through the years.

20 Questions on Your Birthday:

1. What is your favorite color?

2. What is your favorite toy?

3. What is your favorite fruit?

4. What is your favorite television show?

5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch?

But It’s Not a Carefree Day in May

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

Carefree

On this day in February, I find myself daydreaming of spring. While I live in Southern California, and yes, it was 80 degrees on Sunday for the Super Bowl, it is still a day in February, not a glorious carefree day in May.
