Tuesday Turn About #247 Everything Garden
Tuesday Turn About #247 Everything Garden: The party is in full swing, and we are featuring all things garden, from planting to recipes and everything in between!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #247 EVERYTHING GARDEN
At last week’s party, we celebrated lots of “newness”.
Last week, our party landed on April Fool’s Day, and I forgot to say, “Happy April”.
So, I’ll say it today!
HAPPY APRIL! And, welcome to the party!
There’s LOTS to share today, including TWELVE features that are all about the garden!
Looking for tips on growing herbs, fun garden-themed crafts for the kiddos, a DIY wreath using items from your garden, or some delicious recipes? You’re in luck! We’ve got everything you need, and then some! 🌼 Let’s make your garden grow!
Wee Finds is making its debut, bringing some of my fave discoveries to you. And that’s not all – we’ve also got a crucial tip for all you bloggers out there, plus I’ll be spilling some BIG NEWS!
Are you ready for some juicy details?
Abode Adventures
Let’s start off with the BIG NEWS!
If you’ve been at the party the last couple weeks, you already know that My Wee Abode 3.0 is on the horizon. Staying here in MWA 2.0 isn’t practical for me, neither is it economical! 😉
With rental home prices on the rise across the country, you can imagine what the prices are like here in So Cal!
Since moving out of the area is not an option, I needed to think outside the box. So, I’m moving INTO a box!
Just kidding! Well, sort of.
It has just been confirmed this past weekend that I will be starting a new ‘tiny home’ life! My Wee Abode 3.0 will be a trailer!
We’re not talking traveling the world… It’s all about staying in one place and making a lovely home in a small trailer.
My Wee Abode will be, more than ever, a site that is about “Big Inspiration for Small Home Living”. There will be all kinds of tips, tricks, ideas, and solutions for living in a tiny trailer home, that will translate into any size home! Think decluttering, organizing, storage, practical decor, downsizing and more!
This is super exciting for me, and I hope it will be for you, too!
By the way, in other news, I’ve been “down” with a chest cold since Friday, thus Part 2 of our sister-trip to Oahu was put on the back-burner… But, it’s coming this week! I promise!

Wee Finds
As I’m starting to declutter and purge in preparation for the move, I’m thinking a lot about the kitchen!
One thing I’ll be taking with me are these flip top mason jars. These are AMAZING for storing berries, tomatoes, and any other kinds of small produce. Just bring them home from the grocery store and pop them into the jars. And DON’T wash them until you want to use them. Try it, you’ll be amazed how long your berries, etc., stay fresh! Seriously, the BEST hack I’ve ever discovered!
These pull-out drawers will be going with me, too! I’ll need them to get to the ‘back’ of a tiny pantry!
This magnetic knife holder will part of my new tiny kitchen, as well! It can be used on the side of a refrigerator OR mounted on a wall! I love mine!
Weekly Blogging Tip
Today’s blogging tip is simple, but SUPER important. Be sure that you include AT LEAST one pinnable image on your blog post.
Many times, when I go to pin a featured post to the Tuesday Turn About pin board, I’m unable to do this because there is no pin icon on the photos. And think of all the traffic you might be missing with NOT having your pins on Pinterest!
There is another way to make images pinnable, as well. I’ll share that next week!

Before you get started, take a look at our guidelines:
- This party is for home decor, home-related posts, and family-related posts only (recipes, organizing, DIY, crafts, travel, education, etc.). Link up to 3 related posts. Please do not link up informational posts that do not relate to the topic.
- If you would please not link up shops, advertising, round-ups, other link parties, or any posts promoting sales, we would appreciate it.
- DO NOT PIN FROM IMAGES ON THIS PAGE (it just won’t work right on Pinterest). However, please visit the original post/source and pin from there. That works perfectly!
- Please make sure that your images are in a jpeg or png format. If we can’t save your image, we may not be able to feature you. So sad!

Lots to do and see this party, right? I had such fun, what about you? Can’t wait until next week!
Julie, congratulations on deciding on a [stationary] mobile home! Best wishes for settling in. Do consider requesting your Dr calling in an order for a swab test (same as Covid, only it covers 19 different nasal tests). That’s how I found out I had RSV nearly 3 weeks ago (and while I’m well, the cough lingers….).
Stationary! That’s the word I was looking for! Thanks for the advice! I will consider it, for sure!
Well that’s exciting that you are moving into a small trailer. I can’t wait to see what you do with the place!
I’m very excited, especially when I see all the ideas on IG, etc. Thanks for the excitement on your end, too! Hugs!
I’m so excited for you Julie!! You are going to have the most organized tiny home and I can’t wait to see all the posts about your new place! Hugs my friend 🥰
Thanks, Cindy! It’s a bit daunting, and I have SO much to do this month. Prayers are appreciated! I miss you!
Thanks so much Julie! Sorry you’re not feeling well, but you do sound excited about your move! I can’t wait to see your new tiny home, I know you will have a zillion wonderful ideas to share!
Yes! So much to do still… like crazy lots! 😉
I’ve been watching tiny home vlogs for a while now and I just love it. This will be an exciting adventure for you. I hope you start feeling better. Take it easy and thank you for hosting this party each week.
Thanks, Steph. Maybe I’ll get brave enough to get on camera with this adventure! We’ll see!
I’ve always been so intrigued with tiny home living and I’m so excited for you! Hope you feel better, soon!
Thanks, Rachel… I’m actually REALLY excited, as well. I have seen the floor plan that I love a couple times, and it always catches my eye! We’ll see!
Looking forward to all the creative ways you will share with us on how to make a little home a blessed home! I will be following. Wishing you a great adventure. God bless!
Thanks, Josee! It really WILL be an adventure! And so much to still work on! Hugs!
Such an exciting time for you! I’m excited to follow your new adventure! Thank you so much for featuring my pebble tray project. I always appreciate your link party!
Thanks, Missy! I’m excited, but now I need to find a trailer, and try to keep myself from going down rabbit holes on IG for trailer living, right??? Hugs, and you are so welcome!
I loved hearing about your sister trip to Oahu. What a great experience. Praying for you as you make your move. Looking forward to seeing how you transition. Hope you’re feeling better soon! Thanks for having us over, Julie!
Thank you, Debra. I’m working on the second half of the trip today. Hopefully post on Thursday! I’m excited about the move, too. Now to actually find the trailer, now that I know where I’m putting it! God is good!
Hahaha – yes you did scare me! Although I thought you’d definitely have lots of projects to keep you busy! 🤣 Congrats on MWA 3.0 – I can’t wait to see what you do! Thanks so much for hosting the party. I’m inspired already!
I actually had a cute watercolor to post, but I had issues with it last night! LOL! So I decided to be silly, instead. It’s new and exciting, for sure! Just started the hunt for the trailer!
Julie,
Thanks for stopping by and also for your prayer for my husband Joe and our family…It is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again for hosting this wonderful party! I know how much time goes into doing so and I want you to know that I truly appreciate it!! I hope you will have a great week! Thanks for all the inspiration!!!

Wow, a tiny home! I know you’ll have the best ideas and tips. Hoping one day I can have barely enough stuff to fit into a tiny home. I’m in purge mode these days and it feels so good. Sounds like you have a lot to do and need to be in tip-top shape so I hope you feel your best super soon! Did I miss where it was going to sit? Will you be close to DeeDee? Thanks for the party friend.
I cannot wait to hear and see more about your new tiny home! What a grand new adventure!
My heart sank when I saw the trailer. You got me on that one LOL! I know this new adventure is going to be so fun Julie! Can’t wait for you to get started!
LOL!!! I’m sorry! I’m actually adding a graphic of the look I’m more going for! 😉

Thanks, Marie! LOTS to do before that, but it’s coming soon!

What an exciting adventure you have ahead of you in your new home. It will be such fun to decorate and it will be a special space. Wishing you all the best in your new space. Thanks so much for the feature for “Gathering Baskets”. My Grandmother used these in the garden and I am so happy to carry on the tradition. Have a wonderful week.
Lynne
That is so sweet that you have that memory of your grandmother, Lynne! Thank you for the kinds words. Looked at a LOVELY trailer yesterday, but the owner was asking WAYYYY to much. Hoping to view another tomorrow. I’ve got several others on the back-burner, too!
Julie, such a lovely and diverse amount of inspiration this week from the party. Thanks for sharing and for hosting! Creatively, Beth
