You deserve a BIG hug girl! What ...Dearest Daniela,<br />You deserve a BIG hug girl! What a wonderful and loving Mama you are to your children by teaching them so much about life itself. Indeed, families that stay together 'grow' together and this is perfect bonding that will last till the grave.<br />Observing things grow and being outdoors in nature is the most satisfying thing one can do. Nothing can ever replace that and one never appreciates a shower and clean, fresh clothes more after having been all dirty and sweaty!<br />Go girl, your life's Marathon about teaching love and growth in many forms will reap its fruits; no doubt!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-42658720444049021022015-07-01T17:39:14.159-07:002015-07-01T17:39:14.159-07:00Oh, I'm coming to your house this summer! You...Oh, I'm coming to your house this summer! You've got some good food growing there. I'd love to have my very own peach tree. We should have one in every yard here in GA too! LOL! That's certainly the name of every street around here. I think it's great that your kids enjoy spending time with you in the garden. It probably makes them look forward to eating it knowing that y'all grew it yourself!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-18721809529701666732015-07-01T09:21:26.748-07:002015-07-01T09:21:26.748-07:00Completely agree with you!

My 5 year old grandson is out with me in the garden every day and has been since he was 3... he loves his time with me as well as seeing the plants grow and bloom. We don't have veggies/fruit this year. Only place that gets enough sun for them is the middle of the front yard and that's not the curb appeal I want! Once a couple/few trees come down (someday), we'll have veggies/fruit!Guerrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896747944152857012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-87889263284393371412015-06-30T22:41:15.328-07:002015-06-30T22:41:15.328-07:00Kudos!

Now if we could just get the kids to eat the vegetables!<br />xoKathleenOur Hopeful Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545698852959318449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-51349697077381488292015-06-30T18:49:01.334-07:002015-06-30T18:49:01.334-07:00So true and so well said.

I think it was one of the best life lessons ever. The only "problem" is that I feel guilty if I am not doing "something"- I have a hard time relaxing just allowing myself to not be working every moment. <br />Blessings to you- you are a good mom and your kids will rise up and call you blessed someday- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-44027658257288264202015-06-30T13:58:56.445-07:002015-06-30T13:58:56.445-07:00Good for you Dani.

Your kids will not grow up like a lot of kids with that entitlement! Your garden plants look awesome.

Too many children don't have a clue where their food comes from. Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980646848805011625noreply@blogger.com
