I love this plant. This is a Candy Cane Hibiscus that Matt and the girls got me for Mother’s Day probably 8 years ago. It has been in pots, planted in a bed, put back in a pot so we could move it and then planted again. The leaves alone are beautiful-variegated, pink, shades of green and white. When it’s blooming the flowers are similar but primarily reds. Last year it was planted and got to be a solid 6 ft tall. I was lazy this past winter and with the freezes thought I’d completely lost it. For now there’s a tiny pile of leaves at the base as it starts over. Grateful for the renewal! #gardening #lovemylife #blog #beautifulplants

So I’ve been SOOOO bored with cooking lately. I see the recipes. I Pin them. What I don’t do is make them. Then I got the idea to make meatballs-or meat cookies-to make them even more fun! So I’m making several batches of different recipes this evening. All are paleo/grain-free. This version is Italian leaning. Excited about dinner again! #homelife #grainfree #glutenfree #paleofood #meatballs #recipes #blog

A workout idea for the day. No bike or rower? Sub out 2 min of fast walking for either or each. The middle part is 3 body weight movements and 3 lightly weighted movements. Make these as heavy as you are comfortable going for 20 reps. #homeworkouts #bodyweightworkouts #blog #conditioning

A weed is any plant that you don’t want. There’s not technically anything wrong with a yard full of dandelions for instance. They’re pretty in a field and they’re edible even but I don’t want a yard full of them so to me they are a weed. This flower could be a weed also. I didn’t plant it. I’ve been watching this guy grow for a while now, waiting to see what he’d end up becoming. Sometimes the weeds are actually presents. This one turned out lovely. Thank you for surprises amongst the weeds! #gardeningissues #homelife #surprises #lovemylife #blog
