I love flowers! I started the tradition of planting flowers with my daughters on Mother’s Day when they were tiny.
We would go to the store and I let them pick out the flowers. Once we got home, they chose which pots to plant them in. We had some pretty unique mixtures on occasion, but I loved them all.
While we certainly haven’t been able to do this every year (especially 2018!!),
we were lucky enough to do it this year.
We had a little fun planting during a few hours of sunshine before the next snowstorm comes in (I know, right?!).
Wishing all of you a Happy Mother’s Day.
Wow. We did this exact thing for the first time today. They each got to pick one nice potted flower (roses and peonies, my favorites). Now I have one beautiful flower for each kiddo, that will grow and blossom, right along with them. What a great tradition! Great minds think alike. 😉
Love it! Happy Mother’s day April – maybe you can recreate this memory 15 years from now, too 😉
It’s been chilly here in East Coast America, but I set out my fig plants and planted flowers, anyway!!
Kate – we got lucky and had a few hours of sunshine. I brought all of the pots in because today it is snowing 😜 I hope your figs and flowers are hardy and smile through the snow!
How beautiful! I love this idea (and flowers) Wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you for sharing your memories with us.
Thanks Crystal – it’s my way of spoiling myself with two of my favorite things (my kids and 🌼)!
The kids look like they are really enjoying their planting session. What a nice Mother’s Day you all had!!! Thank you for this delightful blog post.
Thanks Alice – it was fun 🌼
