Miracle Gro Makes My Black Thumb Green

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

It's that time of year again! The time where I just want to sit and look at pretty flowers. Alas, to get those pretty flowers that I can look at, I have to plant them!

Luckily, my sweet brother and his family gave me some pretty flowers for my birthday!!

I love fun garden projects that aren't too complicated so I got to work.

I had a couple small pots sitting around in my garden stuff so I gathered them up with my flowers and went to work. 

First, I put some nice soil in the bottom of the pot. Broke up the roots of the flowers and put them in the pot. After getting 3 plants in I filled in with more soil. 

 

Then I used my favorite Miracle-Gro product, Shake’n Feed All Purpose Plant Food. I sprinkled it around the flowers and watered. It will feed my plants for up to three months!

I aslo received this beautiful purple flower from my parents for Mother's Day. I decided to give it a boost with some Shake 'n Feed, also.

Finished product!!

 

I've been looking around at The Gro Project. They have the cutest little project called the Toyarium!! You've got to go check it out, along with their other projects.

This video will help you to get started on your own projects.

 

 

Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

Omagoodness you guys. I accidentally invented a recipe!!

This is what happens when you have two boys come home from school starving and wanting something sweet.

I do offer a disclaimer, as I honestly don't know if this is already invented or not. Ha!

Because I don't know I'm calling it mine. At least this version. I didn't take pictures until they came out of the oven because...I honestly didn't think they'd turn out. My inventions don't usually work out, ya know.

Anyway, I took a can of store brand Crescent Rolls.

Open it up and separate the triangles out. Then spread butter on one side of it, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on it. Add nuts, raisins, whatever you want to add. I put raisins in about half of mine; each can of rolls comes with 8 pre-cut crescents.

Then you roll em up from big end to pointy end. <--- explanation="" fancy="" p="" right="">
Now you're gonna get a muffin pan, cupcake pan, whatever you wanna call it. Spray the wells with non stick cooking spray.

Place the rolled up, messy cinnamon crescents in the wells.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for...well, until they look done. I think I had them in there for 10-12 minutes because I wanted them brown.

This is what they look like when they're done. As they sit the butter and sugar mixture gets gooey and chewy and really yummy.

So, according to the boys, the most discerning of critics...they turned out "Good, I wanna taste another one!"
