Sweatpants & Sanity l Brain Soothers: Succulent Pinterest Garden

My mom is a magnificent gardener. Her flower and vegetable garden beds are tended with love and whimsy. She plants things with line and proportion in mind. They grow into beautifully balanced and enviably works of art. I am pretty certain I inherited her passion - without any of the skill involved. I have my hands full keeping my kids healthy and fed - remembering to water things usually ends up with pots of previously good intentions scattered in windowsills in my house. Rather than throwing away yet another dead plant, I’ve started a Pinterest board in an ode to my love of succulents. It is nigh impossible to kill an internet garden. I don’t even have to fake water it like those stupid app games.  This week is dedicated to knowing my limitations and loving what I love. This means visiting gardens instead of tending my own. It also means yet another Pinterest board. Oh darn :DTiny plant in a cup makes me squee out loud.
