How to Fill Every Room With Flowers Without Spending a Fortune
My flower habit started one summer day long ago. I was at the kitchen sink, in “exhausted mom-wife-housekeeper” mode, when I spotted a slightly droopy Black-Eyed Susan bloom in our backyard. I looked down at the empty pickle jar I had just washed out and knew that flower needed a home. Minutes later, I had a cute little flower arrangement right there in our kitchen. Nothing fancy, but kinda charming—and it made us all smile. Flowers have the power: reducing stress, boosting our moods, and bringing joy and a mother nature connection into our lives.
It’s summer, and flowers everywhere–even the local supermarket. After checking the Haas avocados to find some ripe ones for my supper salad and hunting down a pint or two of perfect raspberries, I usually head over to the floral department to see what’s on offer.
