Planter Trelis @ Lowe's Build and Grow

This weeks project at the Lowe's Build and Grow Clinic was a Planter Trellis. The final product is really cute however it was kind of a pain to make! My 3 year old broke one of the trellis pieces before I had a chance to nail it on. Its all done though and both of my girls have their planter trellis to show for it!

Fun, FREE, Activities for kids!

I have recently discovered the Lowe's Build and Grow workshops. Where have I been?

For those of you that are like me and do not know what this is, Lowe's Home Improvement has a workshop for kids every Saturday morning. Its FREE!!!!

The suggested age is usually like 5yrs old, I think, however I have taken my girls for the past two weeks and they did fine with help from mommy and daddy.
(My girls are 4yrs and almost 3yrs)

The first week that we went they made a baseball game. This was really exciting for them since they have never done any woodworking before and also because daddy plays ball.

Then last weekend the project was a See It Grow Flower box. This is really cute. After putting the boxes together, the girls were given dirt and tomato seeds to plant in their boxes.

We have now set the boxes on the deck so that the girls can keep a check on them. They were really excited because now they have their very on tomato garden.

Today's project is a bird feeder. My girls are excited to make this one because we have lots of bird feeders hanging around our yard so now they will have their own.

If you have a Lowe's Hardware near you and little ones, you should really check out the Build and Grow workshops. Add a little family time and best its FREE!

Our Family Garden

My husband and I have been living in this house for going on 7 years and have only ever planted grass.

Finally this year we have started our very own garden. Yay! I am so excited!
This is a family project. Our girls really loved helping with the planting and now with the watering. We started the garden Easter weekend and already have plants coming up from our seeds we planted.

We did have a little mole decide he wanted to travel through and distroyed a few of our plants but we took care of him.


I love seeing the girls faces when we go out and there is a new plant growing. They are really excited because they helped plant everything. I can not wait until we actually get to start picking the vegetables that we grew.
The girls are REALLY going to love that!
