My best gardening tip is to work some compost into the soil whenever you are planting something new. It really helps (especially if you have poor soil like us).

My favorite children's book are the little house on the prairie series, my mom used to read them to us at night and I have so many great memories of that - I can't wait till I have kids and can share that with them. I won't share a gardening tip because I have a black thumb and leave that to my husband. My office cactus is currently dying.

KnittinChick said...

My favorite thing to bake is Mom's Pumpkin Cake.. it's basically six eggs, canned pumpkin and spices with a cake mix thrown on top in a 9x13 pan... I told my friend's kids that it was cooked with love and ever since then my cake is better than his Mom's. I love being an Auntie!

My favorite children's book (from when I was a kid) was Who's Mouse Are You? To this day (I'm 31 with a wee one of my own) I can recite it by heart. :) I've been searching for a copy for Lily, my daughter, but haven't had any luck. I'll keep trying though, as my copy is falling apart from use. I hope to find one by the time she's three (she's nine months now)... so wish me luck. :)

You can meet Lily at my personal blog (if you are so inclined) at http://blog.myspace.com/chihuahuagrrrl

The thing that helped me with gardening the most was making a chart of the different parts of my yard, and when they get sunlight. Then I was able to look up which of my plants like lots of light and which like less, and put them in the appropriate spots.
Thanks for the giveaway!

How about all three? My favorite children's book is Where the wild Things Are. My kids love it when I make voices and faces. My favorite thing to bake is chocolate swirl cheesecake.

I love Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Where the Sidewalk Ends.

Oh, and as for gardening, I FINALLY started some seeds indoors this year. And instead of one seed per peat pot, I put a couple in each and separated them into their own once the sprouted. That way I don't waste a whole peat pot on a one dud seed.

Oh, how can I choose a favorite children's book? - I have shelves and shelves of them, because I love them so much! I guess one of my favorites would be Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, especially for the drawings. My favorite thing to bake is chocolate chip cookies, and as for gardening - I am still learning, but have found that I need to be diligent to keep my garden watered, daily if necessary - it's not fun to invest the time and effort into planting and then have things die for lack of water - especially here in the South!
Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway - all of my favorite things!

I am a better chef than a baker but I love baking anyway, fudgey broniews rule. I am in love with the book 'I Love you This Much' by Lynn Hodges. As far gardening, that is not my strong suit, but I am trying to improve my skills. I would say prune a Honeysuckle bush in the late fall when it begins to die back because when it is actively growing pruning makes it grow like crazy everyywhere.

Favorite thing to bake? at the moment cupcakes from scratch, they're sooo good =)
Gardening tip? read all instructions carefully and coordinate how much time you want to spend gardening and where you are planting before you buy anything. It'll save a lot of time and money if you think it out first, plus if you read carefully you can find plants that grow better in your climate so you don’t end up with plants you have to water a ton or dry out because it’s not their natural environment =)
Favorite Kid Book? Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish, it still cracks me up =P

I'd love to enter this giveaway because, 1. my fiancee and I have a baby on the way (due in May), 2. my fiancee loves to cook, and 3. my fiancee loves to garden! My all time favorite children's book is the classic, "Green Egss and Ham". As for my favorite thing to cook and best gardening tip, I hardly cook and I've never gardened, so would it be alright if I shared what my fiancee loves to cook and one of her gardening tips? If so, she loves to cook pasta because we are both pasta addicts! And a good gardening tip is to simply treat your plants (or your "babies" as my fiancee calls them!) delicately!

My little ones and I love the Laura Numeroff series...If you give a mouse a cookie/if you give a moose a muffin/etc.

I kill plants better than I grow them. That just never seems to work out for me. It's too bad too, because in the kitchen I LOVE to make homemade salsa and I think it would be the best thing EVER to have all that fresh produce in my backyard...

My favorite kids book is "The little prince" because you can read it as kind of chapter book or the whole way through, and it's got some great little bits of advice for both kids and adults. I've loved it for years. You can contact me on my blog: http://www.findkaterina.blogspot.com
