Published on March 7, 2026February 24, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while, but like always, LIFE keeps happening, and things I want to do get put on the back burner. I’ve been setting small goals as I’ve talked about in previous posts, and working on things a little at a time until they are finished.

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

-Genesis 2:15 KJV

There isn’t one perfect way to start a garden, but I do have a few tips to help you get started. That’s the most important part… just get started! Remember, you aren’t stuck unless you STOP!

Published on February 7, 2026January 2, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

We don’t like to think about the possibility of any emergency, and definitely not one that might last for an extended period of time. With Hurricane season fast approaching, we do need to give it a little thought.

When we first moved here, I was totally unprepared for the two hurricanes that hit us back-to-back. We had not even had a chance to get to the grocery store, but we made it through with what we had.

I know it is January, and it may seem a bit early to think about gardening, but I need to get plans in place before life gets more chaotic.

In an effort to simplify my tasks and create a more peaceful routine, I had already made up a file card system… the problem is that I keep misplacing it as it doesn’t have a true home yet. I will attempt to outline the major tasks in this post, so I can access it from anywhere 🙂 You may feel free to use it or copy, if it suits you.

Making Memories: Baby in Bloom Baby Shower Pics and Life Update w/Recipe Links

Published on August 31, 2024October 5, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

Wow! We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family.

We had a ton of people show up for the baby shower to surround my daughter and son-in-law with love… it was AMAZING!!! I didn’t get as many pictures as I’d liked to have, some of them have been misplaced or accidentally deleted, and I won’t be sharing some that I did get because I didn’t get permission to post them from other people but we will share what we can and hope that it can inspire you. (We also got to go to an ultrasound the day before and see little miss who was very cute!)
