ahhh.

I have attempted, for the past year, to budget in fresh floral for our home every(-ish) week (-ish). To me, it is one of the happiest things in life... I am not talking potted flowers, I am referring to a beautiful clear vase with fresh water, maybe some fruit, and cut with perfectly angled stems. I am not a rose girl, either, at all... I would rather have tulips, or hydrangeas, or peonies... any day. (Ryan learned this quickly) In staying loyal to my recessionista 2009 roots, I have looked for more cost effective variations... for example, I found a hearty $5.00 pack of tulips from Walmart that lasted pretty much 2 weeks, or I have controlled my greedy lil hands and just bought just one large hydrangea and separated it into multiple bud vases.... I even resorted to buying hyperricum berry for way cheap and putting it in a vintage milk bottle...
While I know everyone does not love fresh flowers as much as the next, please try, just for me, just for one day... and put some next to your bed, or in your bathroom... and I swear your day will start out a touch bit cheerier. God did not put flowers here on the planet earth to rot in Tom Thumb plastic bins people...
