Our summers and holidays are typically comprised of family road trips and gatherings, so we'd like to share a few tips on how to plan a family vacation, specifically, choosing a resort for these special family events (based on our experience). Since our family members are coming from all different places, we usually converge at a resort. … [Read more...]
How To Grow Plumeria From Cuttings
We'd like to think that learning how to grow plumeria from cuttings is fairly simple especially if you live in Florida (probably not nearly as easy as growing plumeria in Hawai'i or parts of Southeast Asia where these plants are in abundance, but still easy enough for our kids to do given Florida's climate). We haven't been very meticulous when it … [Read more...]
How To Germinate Plumeria Seeds
Our kids have been having a lot of fun after discovering how to germinate plumeria seeds! For a while, we had thought that the seeds may not have been viable after overwintering the potted plumeria in the garage this past winter and then leaving them in a seed canister for over a month shortly after harvesting them from the seed pod.

Each seed pod took approximately 10 and 11 months to ripen, respectively. Thankfully, they survived … [Read more...]

They stayed in our garage, in their pots, from the late part of November, all the way to the first day of Spring (March 20th). We could have removed them from the garage sooner than that, but we just got too busy during that … [Read more...]
Indoor Gardening With Aerogarden 6
Yesterday, the hubby and kids tried their hand at indoor gardening with AeroGarden 6 by Miracle-Gro! They found the set-up to be quite easy, even our 2-year-old was able to drop in some of the pre-seeded pods (with supervision, of course)! We purchased the AeroGarden 6 from Amazon during their 20th birthday--we got it as a Lightning Deal at $64.99! … [Read more...]
