There is no mistaking the beauty and allure of a vibrant
Chrysanthemum this time of year. They can
be found everywhere from nurseries, to farms markets and even school
fundraisers have Mums for sale and I am a willing buyer. Mums are one of the
few flowers that can be both annuals and perennials depending on what variety
you buy. If I’m lucky enough to find “hardy Mums” the perennial variety, I’ll
plant them in my flower beds this month. If I find annuals, they will go in
containers. In order to have more variety in my garden this fall, I wanted to
grow beyond Mums and found three plants perfect for fall planting I’d like to
share with you today.

Happy Friday and happy September everyone! September is a month of promise and new beginnings for me. We have settled into our school routines, the weather will finally turn cooler and I start my fall busy work schedule. Actually, this blog will turn 7 years old later this month. That is worth celebrating!
With all the positives in this month, there is one event that I will never forget- September 11, 2001. I was at home with my two year old daughter when my husband called to tell me the news. I was stunned and horrified and scared, right along with the rest of America. We will always remember 9/11!
I happily teamed up with TetherGroup to bring you this amazing giveaway today. I will receive the prize pack offered in the giveaway to thank me for my time. No other compensation given. All opinions are my own.

in AD, care package, college, FamilyLife, love, students, support., by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, August 25, 2017
August is a bittersweet month for families with college bound kids. While we are extremely proud of their hard work and scholastic accomplishments that got them accepted into their college of choice; the thought of actually leaving our kids in a dorm room can be heart-wrenching.
We moved our daughter to a local university campus two weeks ago and I’m still adjusting to not having her sweet presence at home every night! I know that we are lucky to have her attend a local college, but like many parents, we were searching for a way to offer our support and encouragement in a tangible way and I found it with SoulFeed. Read on to discover how you can send care packages that nourish body and soul.
