This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am so excited to share my Garden In a Shoe and  The Gro Project with you!

Have you seen the Miracle Gro Project Facebook page recently?  There is a whole movement in gardening you can find fun garden projects for the whole family. There are also more ideas on Miracle Gro Pinterest boards. Check it out as a forum for gardeners to come together and share gardening stories.

May 22, 2013 By Meegan 3 Comments

Hello my friends! And Happy Housewarming!

I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of friends who are moving into a “new to them” home. It is sad to see a friend move. And I don’t like good-byes. But I do like to give them house warming gifts. Nothing fancy, and not necessary, but easy and fun.
