It's alive! Growing celery from scraps.

The idea of re-growing plants from scraps has always been a favorite of mine. I've re-grown green onions and sprouted a many avocado pits, not to mention a garlic bulb or too.

But celery was one I never thought of. The idea is created to a pin on Pinterest and it works!

Basically as simple as puttin the bottom part of the whole celery stock that usually gets discarded, in a cup with a few inches of water. That is it! Watch it grow.

This is mine after about 1 week.

Soon roots will sprout and in the soil it goes!

Roots have sprouted and it's time to plant!

Working mom in modern times...

I've officially finished my first week back to work full time. Wow how does one manage to work full time and still juggle a functioning household?

Between dropping the lil man off at preschool at 7:30am, then lil miss off at daycare at 7:40am. Working from 8:30am to 5pm. To arrive home around 6pm and to then have to make dinner, get kids feed, bathed and ready for bed by 7:30. How does one do it? Not to mention lunches made, clothes washed, house cleaned, bills paid and the list goes on.

Are all waking hours devoted to keeping house? Is their a super mom power I'm lacking?

This week was tough! Not a lot got done around the house but I have a loving supportive husband, two beautiful kids, my family is happy and that's what matters to this mama!!
