The Knot: Outdoor Weddings

I requested this book to review as my hubby and I are considering renewing our wedding vows. 

"The Knot Outdoor Weddings" is full of ideas, many of which would be great for an indoor wedding/reception, too.  The book is absolutely filled with gorgeous photography that really gets one's creative juices flowing.  Although the weddings featured were larger, upscale events, again, the ideas given could help with smaller ones.  Every time I page through this book, I see something new.

Great book if you are planning a wedding, a vow renewal, or other important life event.  Not so great if you are doing it on a very limited budget.

The Bee-Friendly Garden by Kate Frey and Gretchen LeBuhn



“The Bee-Friendly Garden” by Kate Frey and Gretchen LeBuhn is an enlightening book about my favorite insect.  This book is written in an engaging way that is easy to read and understand.  The book covers information about different types of bees and their preferred habitats as well as lists of annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs that these beautiful creatures are most attracted to.  In addition, there are good ideas about bee-friendly flowers that can be incorporated in your vegetable garden to make not only a productive, but pretty space as well.  All that, and gorgeous photography, too.

If you are considering making your garden a beautiful and bee-friendly place, I would recommend this book.
