I hadn't until last summer and they are amazing!
A wicking bed is a raised bed that has a water reservoir in the bottom that slowly wicks up water into the soil to water your plants. So you don't have to water your raised beds every day. Who doesn't like less watering!
I have a thing for wood and building things...
I wouldn't call it an obsession...
I just really enjoy it.
I saw a cute shelf the other day as I was scrolling through Amazon looking for something we needed... wink, wink, ... I decided that shelf would look so cute on our bookcase in the living room. So instead of clicking to buy it... which is what most people would do... I've been guilty of that plenty of times... (ask my husband)... I hopped on lowes.com to see how much it would be to build my own. Now this option isn't always the cheapest because the cost of wood is so darn much, but its what I love to do... so I did.
The nice thing about making your own wood projects is that you usually have left over pieces of wood so then you can just make more projects :)
If you're looking for an expensive gift idea, we have a good project for you.
Christmas is coming quickly so I was trying to find a gift to give my parents and in-laws for Christmas this year.
My girls have been making resin gifts for the last couple years. They are really fun to make and turn out really good. So when I saw some little plastic temples, I thought it would be fun to make temples out of resin.... I really didn't know what I was getting myself into! It turned into a bigger project than I though it would be!
So... I was released from Relief Society a couple months ago, and I've been called to the best calling...
Youth Sunday School Teacher
... along with another wonderful Sister. (I also get to teach my youngest in this class so double sweet!!) I was worried at first that I wouldn't do a good job but I have studied the scriptures so much more since I've been called. This is definitely a blessing for me!
I teach once a month... the third Sunday and I've really enjoyed it so far!
Since I teach the Sunday before Christmas I wanted to do something fun and give the kids all something they can use and will remind them of the Savior.
Halloween is right around the corner so here’s a fun idea for an easy DIY wreath to hang on your front door.
