It's all about the color

A few months ago, my mom told me I should put more colors in my house, more bright, happy colors. My house is full of neutral colors such as burgundies, browns, beige's...very safe colors and according to my mom boring, and I think she is right. So I have been thinking and I have been looking a different color palettes, but nothing seems right. Today I found an article in Martha Stewart's blog about their magazine's new May issue and it looks like it is all about the color, just what I was looking for!
You can see more about it at The Martha Blog.






The magazine will be on newsstands Monday, May 12th

My Cat....

I wish I could just relax, even just for a day, the way you do.

I wish I could just sit by the window, under the sun and just relax!

New trees

I went to Costco yesterday just to get olive oil and peanut butter and came home with two new trees for my patio. I am very excited because they are ultra-dwarf, witch I guess it means they won't grow too much but they will still produce lots of fruits just like a normal size tree. I was very surprise at the big selection they had, and it took me a good 20 minutes to decide which two I will take home. They had cherries, a few different kinds of apples, nectarines, peaches, a few different kinds of pears and apricots.

At the end I got the Nectarines and the Bartlett Pear.

First Rose

Spring is finally here!....I got my first rose from the rose bush I planted back in January. I'm looking forward to many more!

How in the world....

...Did my kitchen got so dirty?

with three kids, a husband, two cats, one dog, baseball practice, soccer practice, school events, cheer practice, etc,etc....wow! who has time to clean the kitchen?

But I did it! two hours latter.....this is the way it is suppose to look:

Bummer!

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, planting seeds and watching them grow shouldn't be so hard...anyway, there goes my tomato, bell peppers and eggplant garden.




On a brighter side, my apple tree is doing amazing....



...And so are my Roses!

New beginnings

A few weeks ago my mom helped me with a gardening project. We planted some trees, roses and vegetable seeds. I have never been very good at keeping a garden, so I hope this is the year I can be successful at it.


This is my dwarf lemon tree (I also have a apple tree)


We planted some seeds: tomatoes, bell peppers, and eggplant.


We also planted some rose bushes
