It’s time for another round of Tuesday Thoughts, except today we are mixing it up and having it on a Thursday.\u00a0 That’s because I forgot to write it for Tuesday.\u00a0 #forgetfulblogger<\/p>\n

One thing I love about this time of year is starting a garden.\u00a0 We had such success with our square foot garden in Syracuse.\u00a0 In Charlotte, once we found an area in our yard that got enough sun light, we planted a small garden.\u00a0 We did harvest some things from our garden but not that much.\u00a0 It turns out that our soil was horrible with clay, clay and more clay.\u00a0 Our veggies didn’t like it.\u00a0 This year I decided to build some VERY basic raised beds, and make the Mel’s soil that is in this book<\/a> that has become our garden bible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this small space, we have herbs, three tomato plants, cucumbers, two pepper plants, four broccolis and squash, and zucchini.\u00a0 I will get the squash and zucchini to grow up the fence.\u00a0 \u00a0I didn’t start anything from seed this year, but everything has grown a lot since we have planted about a month ago.\u00a0 Little Miss loves to water the veggies and sing songs to them to grow!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have always been interested in health things, and I have been reading about these collagen peptides<\/a>.\u00a0 I ordered some here<\/a>, and I have noticed a difference in my nails and hair.\u00a0 I was showing my mom and sister-in-law how I was adding them to my smoothies.\u00a0 Well, it turns out that my mom ordered some for joint support. She adds them to her afternoon tea or coffee.\u00a0 The one I am holding here is unflavored and doesn’t have a taste so it is easy to add to anything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of health….. A couple friends and I have joined a six week fitness\/weight loss program called FASTER Way to Fat Loss<\/a>. While I am not trying to lose weight, I am looking to tone and get more fit.\u00a0 I love my TRX workout, but I need something more than once a week.\u00a0 We had to do before pictures which wasn’t fun.\u00a0 \u00a0Already just 10 days in, I am noticing a difference in my energy levels and feeling more toned, if that is even possible this fast.\u00a0 This boot camp\u00a0<\/a>is a six week program that includes a bonus prep week so it’s actually seven weeks.\u00a0 You get a nutritional program (you don’t have to buy any shakes or extra things), fitness workouts, and accountability.\u00a0 You are in a private Facebook group with coaches.\u00a0 Being accountable is huge.\u00a0 In the program, you do intermittent fasting which I actually had been reading a lot about for a few months.\u00a0 This means I eat in an eight hour window each day and then fast for the other 16.\u00a0 I thought this was going to be so hard because I love breakfast.\u00a0 After a couple of days I didn’t even think about it because I now have so much energy in the mornings.\u00a0 This has been a lot of fun, and their next round which usually sells out fast starts May 21.\u00a0 Grab some friends, and hop on board for summer.\u00a0 If you have any questions, let me know.\u00a0 I plan to do a whole post once I finish this program<\/a>.\u00a0 So far, so good.\u00a0 \u00a0Go here<\/a>, and you can even learn more about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love reading, but I don’t have a ton of time to read.\u00a0 I like to read before bed, and it puts me to sleep in no time.\u00a0 I am happy reading my magazines and about one book a month right now.\u00a0 Hopefully, I can get that up to more in the future.\u00a0 I just finished this book<\/a> for my book club.\u00a0 I really enjoyed it, and the girls from my book club really enjoyed it as well.<\/p>\n

One of my goals for the year was to up my game on wreaths for the front door.\u00a0 I did put this together for spring and realized I never showed it to you.\u00a0 It is now down, and I am trying to figure out what to do next.\u00a0 I found this cute little umbrella from Hobby Lobby and then added some greenery and flowers.\u00a0 It was perfect for March and April.\u00a0 A sweet touch for spring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don’t know if you saw the video on Insta stories, but I\u00a0 commissioned Little Miss to do a painting for our porch.\u00a0 It is cute, and I can’t wait to get pictures of the final project to show you.\u00a0 She took her work very seriously.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mom has been telling me about this product,<\/a> and I need to go ahead and order some.\u00a0 I used to use Latisse but feel it stopped working.\u00a0 This I can order from Nordstrom, and it will come straight to my house.\u00a0 The reviews are great, and Mom is loving her longer lashes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While I don’t have much-decorating stuff going on right now, I keep going back and forth on some things for our powder room.\u00a0 It is such a small room so I feel whatever I do, and it won’t take a lot of time.\u00a0 At times I think about a removable wallpaper which might be a headache to hang.\u00a0 I have also toyed around with painting the room black.\u00a0 Let’s hope Yankee is not reading today!!\u00a0 We love hearing from our you all. What are your thoughts on a black powder room? The floor is a beige tile which I have also thought about painting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well that’s it for our thoughts today.\u00a0 We love that each of you spend part of your day with us.\u00a0 We really appreciate you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
