Random Things Happening Behind the Scenes at Bricks ‘n Blooms
- We enjoyed a fun Thanksgiving with our family. The turkey turned out amazing! And my kids got to sit at the adult table for the first year ever which was really nice. It’s the small things right?
- For my birthday, we went out to dinner at one of our favorite local Italian restaurants with my kids and parents.
- Christmas decorating is done! This weekend, we decorated our tree, put up the Christmas lights and I planted my front porch containers with winter greens. I love how they turned out! If you want a sneak peak, you can check them out HERE.
- It was another awesome week on the blog too! This week we talked about how to get gorgeous indoor blooms with amaryllis. I planted 4 different varieties and can’t wait to see those pretty flowers! And my girls came up with 47 cool gift ideas for teenage girls. My daughter Shana is still shopping for stuff so check back, I’ll probably add more to the list over the next week! LOL!
