My back patio has always been an outdoor living space that brings me peace. Raising kids always involved back yard days filled with play and adventure. Now they are a little older and I created a place to relax, sip coffee, watch the birds and view my garden. It's my little oasis right outside my back door.

This is a brain dump of Christmas gift ideas for any and everybody in my family's life.

My dream is to have this lush garden full of flowers and plants with fruits and vegetables that I can put on the dinner table. Unfortunately, I did NOT inherit my mom's green thumb. I used to struggle to keep the "easiest" plants alive. Aloe Veras, succulants, and cati are NOT unkillable btw :). This summer I finally got a decent picking of some vegetables and even kept a 4ftx4ft garden box alive with herbs, flowers, and veggies! I finally feel like I CAN garden! So this board will become my 'brain dump' of ideas, fails, and wins to help me keep my gardening journey going and hopefully help out anyone else that just felt like the death nurse to any plant :)

My most loved nurse gear for all those hours on my feet or my down time away from work

Halloween is THE holiday we go all out for. I love all the decorations! I'm that person that puts out their decorations EARLY! This board consists of what I have and my wish list. I usually buy one ‘Big’ decoration a year but always add in the smaller items to help fill the yard.
