My Potted Rose Garden

Lifestyle· Our Home· Seasonal· Self Care· Uncategorized

18 Jun

Quarantine turned my thumb green!

I’ve never been a gardener. You would think that owning a lawn maintenance business, I would be quite the green thumb but that’s not the case. Growing up I used to love helping my mom in our little garden. I wouldn’t say I loved the garden as much as I really just loved an excuse to play in the dirt.  As I got older I lost interest but one thing that’s stayed the same however, is my love for flowers.

We've been loving our little potted garden.

Roses have always been one of my favorites and I recently got an idea stuck in my head that it would be fun to start growing something here, in our rental, while we build our forever home. My grand plan is to transplant the roses when our home is completed and look at them for years to come as the literal seed of our dream that was around before we even laid the first brick. What can I say, I’m a tad sentimental. Did I mention, we don’t even have land purchased yet? But yet somehow, here I am with not one but FOUR rose bushes. If I’m honest, that’s pretty typical for me. I get an idea in my head and go all out before sorting out the details. If anything, my life is nothing less than entertaining because of that habit. I think my husband would agree… or at least, I hope – lol!

Pictured here are my four David Austin roses. Boscobel, Lady Of Shalott, The Queen Of Sweden and Golden Celebration.

Caring for my little potted rose garden has also proved to be a healthy little hobby for me to focus on while we’re going through this pandemic. Seeing them grow and flourish into something beautiful through all of this chaos has been nothing short of poetic. I’ve really enjoyed spending my mornings with my coffee and our pup out on our balcony flanked on either side by the roses fragrant blooms. Pretty nice way to start the day if you ask me! Like much of the world, Corona has forced me to slow down and literally, stop to smell the roses. I’m sure God Is getting a good chuckle out it as I’ve never been one to slow down. It only took a world wide pandemic for me to give it a go!

Things are finally getting real! 🙌🏻🏡💕 Things are finally getting real! 🙌🏻🏡💕

We took a peak at a few stone options today and quickly realized that we need some help with our vision for the exterior of the home. Our plan is to take a drive on the next sunny day to some of our favorite neighborhoods in the area to get a little inspo. After grabbing a few catalogs to mull over, we headed to the property to check out our staking placement. We ended up leaving the house where it’s staked but will be changing up the driveway just a bit.

I think it’s all starting to finally hit me that this is actually happening and it’s feeling a bit more real than it did last week. There are SO many big decisions to be made soon and with the baby due a month from today it’s safe to say that I’m feeling all of things. 🥹 There has been so much leading up to this home and I’m so grateful that it’s finally here. Counting down the days until DIG DAY! 🚧

Mess free & stress free love bug magnets were a hi Mess free & stress free love bug magnets were a hit today. 💕

Emmie is at such a fun stage where she’s recognizing her crafts and artwork on the refrigerator. Her face lights up when she points to them and it just makes my crafty mama heart so happy. Enjoying our last few weeks as a family of 3 and soaking in all of the one on one time!

One day (soon🙏🏻) this snowy field will be Ho One day (soon🙏🏻) this snowy field will be Home but that doesn’t mean that we have to wait until then to start making some memories here. ❤️ 

It’s been a long week full of snow runs, broken equipment and little sleep but I’m so thankful to have gotten the chance to spend the afternoon with these two. Thank you for always making family a priority @brianslawnmaintenance I see you and know how hard you’re running. It’s all about to pay off and no one deserves it more than you. Love you, love this life & love this adventure. 💋

1/2 c milk 
1/2 c flour 
3 eggs

Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 425 with cast iron skillet on top rack.

Poor egg mixture on the butter. Do not mix!
Place skillet back in oven and cook for 15-20 minutes. No peaking or or your baby won’t rise. 

We love ours with powdered sugar on top with jam, maple syrup or with lemon curd, powdered sugar and a fresh squeeze of lemon! You really can’t go wrong and it couldn’t be easier. 😋 

Happy Sunday friends!

Thanks for the memories, Park City. We were just Thanks for the memories, Park City. 

We were just learning what it meant to be a family when we decided to jump on a plane to Utah for our first visit here a year ago. It stretched us in so many ways then and now and it will forever be such a special place for our family. ❤️ I can’t believe that the next time we will be here we will have another little babe with us. Thankful for this time together, for all that’s to come and for you @brianslawnmaintenance TTFF
