I love when it is time to garden again. I enjoy having a garden, tending the garden, photographing the garden, and best of all harvesting the garden. This is my second season using the two large raised beds my hubby built me last year. We have had so much rain that it has been hard to get things started but we did get the soil turned over and most of the veggies planted. I have a few more to put in and some patio tomatoes to plant since I accidentally bought too many tomato plants. One can never have too many tomatoes so I bought some patio containers and will grow them there.
I also am growing my herbs in containers on the deck. Last year I had my basil, parsley, peppermint, spearmint and oregano in the garden but this year I put it in pots. I am still in the process of transplanting the perennial and spreading mint from the garden to the containers because of the rain thwarting my best efforts. The local nursery did not have the zucchini and yellow squash plants in because of the rain, so I will have to try next weekend for them. I did manage to plant a variety of tomatoes like big boys, beefsteak, early girls, cherry, yellow heirloom, and probably at least another variety I am forgetting. I did not plant any hot peppers this year because I did last year and my husband who they were for did not eat them but ate the sweet peppers. So now I have a great variety of sweet peppers like sweet cherry peppers, sweet banana peppers, and a variety of purple, green and red bell peppers. I have purple and white eggplants, cucumbers, butternut squash, jack be littles, Howden pumpkins, blue lake green beans and sugar snap peas.
In the herb department I planted rosemary, cilantro, oregano, sweet mint, peppermint, spearmint, basil, thyme, dill, lavender, Italian parsley, and probably a couple of others that I am forgetting right now.
I am planting rhubarb for the first time this year, and we are starting a variety of grapes as well. We would have everything planted if the rain would stop but we are doing what we can and we are not that behind.

The great staff at
ShāToBu let me choose any shaper I wanted to review, and I chose the
I really liked this shaper, it was firm yet comfortable and something I could wear all day without feeling uncomfortable. It was undetectable under my clothes, but its effects were not. It helped to take care of problem areas like tummy bulges and such that many of us Moms know all too well. It made me feel great and while I have no tests to tell me if I burned more calories wearing it, I definitely did feel that I very well could have given the resistance bands. I had more confidence wearing it and I was able to wear it under a multitude of clothing choices and felt better in everything I tried on. I would definitely recommend this shaper to my friends and readers.

If you have never heard of Jillie Willie, then you are in for a real treat. These super cute and feminine aprons are so functional and nostalgic. I love aprons and I love using them for cooking, baking and even carrying in the veggies from the garden.
“There’s something about aprons that conjures up unforgettable memories of days gone by, of mothers and kitchens.” -Jill Grover, owner of Jillie Willie.
Jill sent me the Suzy Q Apron to review and I will just tell you, that I adore it!!! It is so functional with the attached towel and handy lined pocket. It is done in adorable coordinating fabrics and is very cute and trendy. I think it is very unique and love that it has an attached terry towel that can be used to wipe your hands or the hands of your kiddies. I love wearing this apron when cooking and baking. It is also going to come in very handy in the vegetable garden this summer. Jillie Willie is also providing Mommy Ramblings with another Suzy Q apron for a give-away for one of our lucky blog readers.
