This is going to be my personality from now til Oc

This is going to be my personality from now til October, sorry not sorry. 🤓 So far our little plant babies are doing well! At first I was a little worried we weren’t watering them enough. So we tried putting water in the bottoms of the trays and letting the plants soak it up from the bottom. And I got some plastic dome lids to create little greenhouses. Within a couple of days, BOOM we had sprouts! Whew! Starting from seeds this year had me nervous in the beginning. What the heck I still am a little nervous. A lot of the seeds are ones we saved from 2021-2022 and I hope and pray they still produce! But I am so excited to plant them in a few weeks and find out. How’s your spring garden going so far? #gardeninglife #backyardgardener #gardenersofinstagram #gardeningtips #seedstarting #seedstartingtips

Sometimes you just need a batch of big, thick, dark chocolatey fudgy brownies (with a little kick of coffee liqueur). I don’t make the rules. Full recipe is on scratchmadesouthern.com. #brownierecipe #fudgybrownie #chocolatedessert #dessertrecipes

Got our seeds started last weekend and I am so excited! 🌱 We’ve never started anything from seeds before, so this is a total experiment. I saved a lot of seeds from our 2021 garden, so fingers crossed they all germinate! 🤞 We’ll still get some starter plants from the nursery later, but for now I’m closely watching my little seed babies. Here’s what we started! 🍅: Black Beauty, Sweetheart Cherry, Sun Good, Sun Sugar, Beefsteak, Better Boy, Purple Cherokee. 🫑: Thai chili, red chili, poblano, banana, red bell 🌱: mint, basil, dill (more to come) 🌸: cosmos, dahlias, echinacea, calendula, zinnias, celosia, poppies, wildflower blend. Seeds were ordered from @bakercreekseeds and @floretflower. Stay tuned for more Garden 2023 updates! . . . . . #gardening #gardeninglove #gardeningisfun #homegardening #gardeninggoals #seedstarting #growyourownfood #wannabefarmer #veggiegarden #flowergarden

Been wanting to try my hand at a Sazerac cocktail

Been wanting to try my hand at a Sazerac cocktail for a while, so here it is! Final feelings: 7/10. I like it. But it won’t replace my favorite Old Fashioned. And I actually hate licorice. But it’s nice for switching it up every now and then. . . . . . #cocktailsofinstagram #cocktailsathome #sazerac #whiskeycocktail #whiskeygirl #cocktailrecipes #cocktailtutorial

Crossed off our 5th National Park last weekend: @hotspringsnps! This is definitely one of the more unique parks we’ve been to. ✨ Highlights: - Beautiful loop hike around the town with Mountain views - Beer stop at @superiorbathhousebrewery which makes its beer with fresh spring water - getting our dog his BARK Ranger certificate! - delicious pancake breakfast - relaxing thermal baths . . . . . #nationalparks #hotspringsarkansas #hotsprings #hotspringsnationalpark #nationalparksusa #travelbucketlist #mysouthernliving #travelsouthusa #southerntravels #weekendtrips #southernblog #southernlife

Sweeping Beauties Year 3 👸🧹 One of my favo

Sweeping Beauties Year 3 👸🧹 One of my favorite times of the year has come and gone already. Skillet Curling sounds so silly (and tbh it is) but it’s something I look forward to every year. It’s for a good cause (supports the local food bank) and I get an extra excuse to hang out with some of my favorite people. Cheers to making it one round farther than last year and not busting my 🍑 on the ice. and special cheers to our honorary Sweeping Beauty for stepping in at the last minute! Next year let’s make it to day 2. 📷: @raysoldanophotography . . . . #chattanoogatn #chattanooga_fun #noogatoday #nooga #visitchatt #skilletcurling #curling #wintersports #goodcauses #southernthing #lifeinthesouth
