Something that makes me still feel like me after having my baby has been getting back into taking care of my house plants. I have over 300 house plants so it takes significant effort to care for all of them. And truthfully some have been awfully neglected and some have perished but most are still hanging in there with me as I get more time to tend to them. I recently scored a major haul deal on plant supplies at target and that has gotten me super excited to get back to spending more time with my plants. Hoyas are some of my favs. But I also have lots of orchids in my bathroom and most of them are in bloom right now!

I get my love of plants from my mom as well. Funny enough I didn’t care at all really about plants or gardening till I had my own house.

Before baby it was not problem, but now my mom has been helping me keep up with my plants. Part of it is learning which plants fit into your lifestyle. Like snake plants and zz plants can be really neglected and be fine for the most part.
Thank you. Well I started with fake plants then a couple live ones. Then a couple more and so on. I like to get “rescues” from the clearance section because if they die then i didn’t lose out on much money. And that helped build my plant care confidence.
