Family Is What You Make It!
Families. Today, we are seeing all types of families and they are starting to look less like The Cleavers! What we see today has evolved into a vast range of possibilities.

Now that is an easy plant to have around. But I can’t help but admire when a new flower comes out of a succulent I’ve had for awhile that I didn’t even know flowered! That is always a nice surprise. Which brings me to something I want to share with you lovely dandelion moms and dads – you can grow a baby succulent – without any soil! I found this out…
