I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

garden giveaway

I was working in the garden the other day planting more seeds for my fall and winter crops when I had the idea for this giveaway.  Maybe it will motivate some of you to get out there and try planting a fall garden this year.

This garden giveaway not only includes some of my favorite things, but it has a retail value of over $150!

This giveaway includes:

womanswork gloves

If you have never tried on a pair of Womanswear garden gloves before, they are awesome. I especially like how the elbow length cuff has a stretchy pull cord at the end for cinching the cuff around your arm or shirt sleeves. It comes in handy when your pulling weeds or moving plants with creepy crawly bugs all over. Plus the palm is made of a durable synthetic leather and are making them easy to work with.

Mrs. Meyer's Sunflower Cleaning Products

It’s really awesome when something comes along that actually makes me excited to clean the house {who doesn’t need a little motivation there, right?}. When the nice folks at Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day sent me some products from their new “Sunflower” line, I was actually eager to clean my house {please let’s just keep this between us and never tell the HH. I don’t want him thinking this is the norm or anything}.

Their products totally didn’t disappoint. Sometimes when I hear things are “all natural,” which all Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products are, I get a little nervous that they won’t clean as well or that they’ll smell weird. Not the case at all. My whole house is squeaky clean {okay so no one come do a white glove test and let’s just let that statement slide. It’s possible I might have ignored the kids’ bathroom for good reason} and the smell is awesome. Who knew sunflowers smell so great?!

So not only are their products really effective, but the company itself it pretty cool too. They try to choose only raw material and whenever possible, obtain materials from renewable plant resources such as coconut, palm, corn, soy or olive. Their products provide an effective alternative for people who are concerned about the environmental effects of conventional cleaning products.

And now you have your chance to get your hands on some of their products for FREE because they’re giving away {2} Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Sunflower Gift Sets to {2} lucky readers.

The Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Sunflower Gift Set contains their full line of favorite 98% natural household cleaners and laundry supplies in the new Sunflower scent! Each set includes Liquid Hand Soap, Laundry Detergent, Liquid Dish Soap, All Purpose Cleaner, Countertop Spray, Fabric Softener and a free gift box. Yeehaw! If that’s not motivation to get your “clean” on, I’m not sure what is.

Annie's Annuals and Perennials

I recently took a trip to San Francisco to attend the Garden Bloggers Fling with my garden buddy Harriet and my online boyfriend Ryan from Botanical Interests. One of the cool places we stopped at was Annie’s Annuals and Perennials in Richmond, California.

For those of you who don’t know Annie and her crew not only sell annuals and perennials at the nursey, but they also ship plants, sell garden art {my favorite} and have all sorts of books available in their shop and online {see some of Annie’s offerings HERE}.

Annie's Annuals and Perennials California

Annie’s Annuals and Perennials was like no other nursery I had been too.

It. Was. Eclectic.

There was music playing, oodles of fun art features, potted plants galore and it just had a fun, hip, vibe to it. Seriously, if I ever owned a nursery, I would want to model it after Annie’s. Being there was just so much fun.
