What I've learned about Texas Gardening...

Mosquitoes love me! And so do chiggers, midges and spiders. And fire ants...yeah I once sat on an anthill when I was potting flowers, not a fun experience! This month marks my one year anniversary in Texas. My family moved here from a small house in California which had no space for a garden. Once we moved here we went all out and started our garden beds this Spring. Luckily we have had really nice neighbors and friends who have let us in on which natural insect repellen

National Ice Cream Day!

Today is National Ice Cream Day! Here is a guest blog written by a participant of Celina Ladies and Friends, Lindsay Harper. Hope you all enjoy! What we experience through our senses can take us back to a great memory or tradition. For me, the sweet smell of fresh peaches takes me back to where I grew up. Our small farming community in Northern California was always full of hustle, tending to the crops that would feed others. There was nothing better than taking a moment t

The beginnings of going green

"Save the Earth...it's the only planet with chocolate..." Going green....sounds kinda scary and like it would take lots of changes and work, or so I thought. As I have young kids I am always thinking of their future. What will the planet be like for them? Will it be as beautiful as it is now if we continue going at this pace? All of these questions and many more that I will not get into have prompted me to make small changes in our family lifestyle. I grew up at a time wh

They signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. Its language in many ways parallels the 1776 Declaration of Independence of the United States. The declaration proclaimed that the Mexican government "ceased to protect the lives, liberty,

April is National Volunteer Month

Volunteerism is close to my heart. I met my husband volunteering. While, I don’t have too much time in my schedule, I try to volunteer with my children every so often. Recently we volunteered at Grace Bridge Resale Shop in downtown Celina. In case you are new to town or not familiar with Gracebridge, it’s a place where a struggling family can obtain essential items like food or eye glasses. These items are distributed every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. Next door t
