MEET THE GIRL

Hey there, sweet friends! I’m Abby, and I’m so thrilled that you’ve stumbled over to my blog! I started Just a Girl and Her Blog on a whim in January 2013. I wasn’t even quite sure what a blog was at the time, but I knew I needed some sort of creative outlet and decided to give blogging a try. It wasn’t long before I caught the blogging bug, and I am still totally in awe that this little blog of mine (that I didn’t think anyone would ever read!) has become a family business, with both my husband Donnie and I working on the blog full time! Our journey to becoming full time bloggers is a story all its own, and you can read all about it in this post.
I am truly passionate about creating a beautiful, thriving home, life, and business and helping others to do the same! On the blog, those passions manifest themselves in posts about organization and productivity and in practical, easy-to-follow decorating tips. And since blogging has been a total game changer for us, allowing us to work from home and spend tons of time with our sons while supporting our family at the same time, we also try to “pay it forward” by sharing what we’re learning about blogging and online business in hopes that other bloggers can learn from our successes and failures and grow their sites as well.

To try to help people even more in the areas of organization, productivity, and blogging, we have created eBooks and courses that extend beyond the information we can share in blog format and really dive deep into each of the different areas:

I am a total girly girl. I only have a sister. I mostly babysat girls. So of course I thought that when it was my turn to have kids, I would have a bunch of little girls. Then God blessed us with our two darling boys, Connor and Caleb (who I call “the Cs” for short), and I have never been so smitten in my entire life. They are the sweetest, cutest, most ornery and darling things that I’ve ever seen and I can’t imagine life without them!

富贵花开在我家


富贵花

 在我国,种富贵花非常普遍,不是富贵人家的专利哦!家家户户富贵花,富贵花开在我家.
富贵花的种子是豆夹形,种子干后,撒在泥土中播种,一次就可以发很多棵。而且富贵花一定要用种子种,它的树根,才会肥大,插枝的就没那么美!富贵花每个花苞都有7、80颗或整百颗种子。富贵花的种子是在花苞里成长,当长长瘦瘦的花苞成熟呈金黄色时,邓琯燊就会摘下花苞撕开取出种子,然后把种子移植到盆里培育约20天树苗逐渐成长,再移去花盆栽种,通常在1年内就会开出鲜艳夺目的花朵。

如果种子成熟时没有摘下移植,花苞熟透会裂开,富贵花的种子会如蒲公英般随风飘动,掉在地上满地生长。种植富贵花不难,最重要是要有爱心
我家种富贵花已经7年了,种的都是最平常单瓣的,感觉简单就是美!虽然来来去去都是红、粉、紫。。但每棵都有各自的神采。。各有各的美,深浅色的呈现,也有不同的美!

富贵花:学名沙漠玫瑰(Adenium obesum)为夹竹桃科,耐旱,越热越会开花。种植时水分不可多。常年都开花,虽是5瓣之花
花型简单,但花朵艳丽多姿彩!可爱!
遇到大型的蝴蝶蛹,好可怕的虫虫!下图这棵叶子茂盛的花树,一夜就被它们吃光光!心痛之余,只好把整棵枝干剪短,

让它再发新芽。篱笆边,太阳照射下的这棵深粉色,也特别会开花,常年开花不断!花谢时,满地都是落花 
富贵花开在我家各个角落,在墙边、在铁花门前、在菜地中或在篱笆前。。。因为都没特别打理,长的都不算太大棵。

有时撒种子,发了很多幼苗,我很勤劳种成一盆盆的,
放到花店里卖。销量不大,但久久总会卖掉!

很多年前我回乡瓜登时,送给妹夫的这棵富贵花,在他细心护理下,比我同期中所种的,长的更大更美!
