While Dylan (my husband) was at the Botanic Garden the other day I asked him to take a picture for me and this what he sent me… Isn’t it so pretty? I just love it.

I hope you had a great week and have an even better weekend. We’re getting ready to make a quick trip to Chicago (my first time visiting the windy city!).

Make Fresh Flowers Last Longer

All Natural Annie — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:32:51 +0000

It’s always so nice to have fresh fresh flowers in your home, isn’t it?

Well I recently came across two easy ways to keep blooms around even longer:

Dunk buds in room temperature water before putting them in a vase to prolong their life by a few days
When keeping flowers in the kitchen, keep them away from fruits and veggies since they both release the gas ethylene, which increases the rate at which flowers wilt

Having fresh flowers around is proven to be a natural mood-booster. I love getting mine at Trader Joe’s - great variety and awesome prices. I especially love sunflowers. What are you some of your favorites?

p.s. Happy first day of summer!!

For some reason, I am more excited for spring this year than I have ever been before! What about you?
