Liz at a a belle, a bean,and a chicago dog.

Liz is simply awesome, she tells great stories, and she gardens!

Liz talks about her veggie garden and a book that inspires her family's approach to gardening. We get to hear about her raised beds {I really need some of those}, getting the garden ready and keeping the garden organic. She gives tips on planting and photos of her growing garden! She touches on more updates and even a few what not to-do's. 

After watching Liz's garden grow, I went out and bought some seeds and plants and am preparing to make some raised beds... we will grow a garden of something here this year! Thanks for planting that seed of inspiration Liz!

Time Crafted is pretty crafty but also has some very cool stories. A few weeks ago her story about her brother conquering Mt. Everest was amazing, and this week, a story about her Grandma meeting Jerry Rice. It is a sweet tale about her grandma and also a reminder that September was ovarian Cancer awareness month and how we all should do what we can to educate ourselves on these diseases that take our loved ones.

Michelle at So Wonderful, So Marvelous knows
how to tell it like it is and this POST of hers is sheer brilliance.
She poses the questions:
Are you happy for other people? Or just pissed at life?
