Two-in-One

So here are a couple of things I have wanted to blog about. Things that make me smile.....

We have been in need of some new cushions for the couch and chairs in our living room. Last weekend my handsome hubby took me out to get some. I had had my eye on these certain ones at our local Home Goods. I LOVE that store. Every time I go, if I could,...I would leave with oodles of things! The pillows I had found have a flower on them. I loved them right away because I knew they would match my rocker.

  

My rocker is as old as me! Yep pretty "Vintage" LOL. It was given to my mother when I was born from my grandmother. My Momma sat in it to rock me to sleep when I was a "wee" one. (I can't believe I was ever "wee") So when God blessed me with my little bundle of ALL boy. I asked my parents for the rocker. It now sits in my living room. The new pillows really accent and bring all my furniture together. If you know the name of this flower let me know! (Chrysanthemum?)

 My second thing to make me smile is this:

As I have mentioned before, we live in an apartment. Not much space for anything. We have a nice little patio and this year I was determined to grow something! So splurged a little and bought a Topsy Turvy (you know the as seen on TV thingies) and a tomato plant. Its kinda funny actually but growing up I HATED tomato's. In the last couple of years I have grown to like them. I put them in just about anything now for added flavor. (See children you do grow up and like that icky food) 

So my little plant is sprouting! I have 3 tomato's growing! So excited :-) My little bundle of ALL boy has claimed the largest one as his. He will stand on a chair and say "Tha baby's ptmato!" I have promised him that as soon as it's ready he gets the first bite. 

I have a feeling he "isn't" going to like it LOL ...but I am really happy to be growing something and sharing it with him. He is a ball full of energy and laughter. We have lots of fun and little adventures together. (Like right now he is pouring water from his cup on my ottoman as I am trying to type this...time to go!)

Will keep you posted on our "First" Apartment Tomato!
