The dollar spot at Target is one of my hot spots when I need to find a "thank you for doing your homework" present for my tutor kids. During one of my recent visits, it came to my attention that the tiny corner holds tiny seeds of hobbies waiting to bloom! And as each is $1, testing out a hobby is now super cheap and available for all! I found these tiny little flower pots that come with soil, seeds, and directions. The kit is virtually fail-proof, which is a plus for those who do not have the "green thumb" gene, i.e. yours truly.

I bought one for each of my tutor kids because
1. they are cute and fun
2. it will give me motivation to actually take care of the thing
3. it will make great how-to essay topics =)

I realized I used the word "tiny" too many times in this post


Obviously, the change of background scenery in these pictures indicates that it took my several days to get to these points....


I shall monitor and update the status of my little strawberry plant every now and then (that is if it hasn't died). Hopefully one day, I'll have enough strawberries for a strawberry salad~
