I’ve been wanting to bring plants into our home for ages. I am constantly buying cheap flowers or clipping greenery from outside, but I have not had much success keeping living things living (aside from my children, thank goodness!). Last summer I even got all fired up and researched which indoor plants are the best for improving air quality. Unfortunately, my research overwhelmed me and I decided to open the windows more instead. 🙂
That did the trick until the Nester launched a great series on using plants in the home, and my fire was rekindled. But this time, rather than overthinking it, I headed to the nearest nursery and let my boys pick out a few tiny succulents. We planted them at home with some leftover potting soil, and the whole project was finished in an hour!
Beautiful, aren’t they?
I think they are pleased as punch with their new home beside my bed.
Sometimes, baby steps are all you need.
Are you taking any baby steps this week?
Linked up with the Nesting Place’s Planty Party! Also, get ready for some fun marriage discussions later this week!
You are absolutely right, sometimes baby steps are all you need. I think they look awesome right by your bed.
I am pinning your blog button, absolutely love the message!

Thanks, Karah! I suppose it goes without saying that I love that message too. 🙂 I really enjoyed your blog this morning – I’m a new linky follower. Have a great day!
Erica, I am not good at keeping plants alive either, but yours looks so nice! Maybe I should revisit this. I just forget to water them! What type of plant is this? Also, your bedroom is so pretty!!
I love succulents! I have a few left over from my wedding and they are in each of the bathrooms, and I really hardly ever water them.
Yay! Naturally, your bouquet is what inspired me! I thought of you so much when the boys and I were working on this little project. Can’t wait to see you this summer!
I like your new plants! I think live plants add a lot to a home.
