Greenstalk Vertical Planter Review

I currently have two Greenstalk vertical planters. One is a taller unit with shorter planter tiers in it. My other one is a shorter unit, with deeper planter tiers in it.

I had the taller unit for approximately a year before purchasing the additional shorter unit with the deeper planting wells. The shorter wells are meant for plants that do not require the extra room for deeper roots.

What I have learned, is that based on my attention to watering, is that the deeper planting wells work best for me. They hold more water for longer, making the plants happier overall.

Although the units are made to drain excess water out the bottom, and through a hose attachment, they can be over watered. I did that early on. Then I went the other way and watered too little. When I purchased the shorter unit, I had much better success.

Both the shorter wells and the deeper wells have the same premise for working. They have a predrilled hole in each planting area that lines up with the tier below it, and the water drains down to the next tier and so on.

Each unit also comes with a water collection reservoir at the top, which is detachable, that can more quickly drain excess water down to the bottom and out, like when there is a heavy rain.

The planting tiers come as a set depending on which size planting wells you want and how many tiers you want to have.

I have found that I also prefer the shorter tiers, as the top is easier to reach for planting and watering.

There are accessories that can be ordered to help with the vertical gardening. The main one is the wheel base attachment with a spinner. The wheels can be locked in place to prevent the vertical planter from rolling on its own. The spinner allows you to easily turn the planter unit around without moving the wheels, to allow different plants to get more sun or shade as needed. You may need to go to Greenstalk.com to locate this specific accessory.

There are also other attachments to help with plant support. There are also accessories for frost protection and insect protection. I did purchase the accessory for frost protection, and felt more secure with my plants being protected on the predicted frosty mornings.

Pros:

More plants can be planted in a small square foot area, making it a great option for balcony and patio gardening.

The watering area is in a smaller square foot area.

Has optional accessories to make gardening easier.

Has a basic texture design or a weave pattern texture to choose from, and also various colors.

Cons:

Requires more regular watering, more so than raised beds and in ground gardening.

Would I order it again? Yes. Actually I already placed my order for an additional short tiered unit with the deeper planting wells. Whether my plants need the extra room for deeper roots or not, I will give them the extra space, and the shorter unit is easier for me to reach overall. I am 5'4".

This Week Life is Amazing ~ From the Heart

Life is sometimes a big struggle and we can find ourselves more than a little lost with all that is happening around us.  Every once in a while something happens that seems to take us out of the darkness and chaos, to remind us that life is still very, very good.  And this week has been amazing!

Let me tell you a little story.  

When I was 18 years old, I became a BLOOD DONOR!  Oh I didn't do it for the right reasons, I was busy trying to get out of one of my high school classes.  At that time, the Canadian Red Cross ( now known as Canadian Blood Services) would come to high schools, set up a clinic, and hopefully recruit new donors for this important life saving venue. That was my door to getting out of that dreaded class!

Anyways, that was many years ago and much has changed in the process of giving blood.  Some of the changes are great and some of them are not. but all were necessary to keep the supply of blood safe for those who needed it most.

You see the story changed for me when my father became ill.  At that time I was already a regular donor but hadn't really thought about how much my donation would impact others.  Oh I knew people needed blood for all kinds of things, but it was never personal to me.  Well that changed quickly.

My father had cancer and while he was undergoing treatments, he would receive blood transfusions as part of his care.  When he would come home from those transfusions, he looked so much better and had more energy.  It seemed transformative to us and to him.  I would talk to him and he'd say to me, please keep on being a blood donor, it makes such a difference to me!

Well how can you say no to that?  Especially when you find out you and he are the same blood type!

At that point in my life, I no longer looked at giving blood as a chore, rather it became part of my mission to help my father and anyone else who needed that help.

Fast forward to this week.  While I was at my regular BLOOD DONOR CLINIC, the people who had just finished their donations, were sitting at the coffee table and tossing their donor cards on the table for the volunteer to record their donation on the back.  Jokingly I said. Okay, "Who's got the most donations and do they get a prize?" Everyone at the table had a good laugh until I pulled out my card and they got a look at it.  Theirs were emblazoned with 10, 20, 30 donations and then mine hit the pile and it said 100!

I didn't think it was a big deal, but everyone at the table were totally impressed.  A discussion ensue and I encouraged all of them, that their day will come when 100 will be on their cards too.

It wasn't until this week when a package arrived that made me stop and think.  My other half said, "did you order another book?"  I was truly surprised to be getting a package because I did NOT order anything.  Opening it I was even more surprised!  I guess getting to that 100 was a bigger deal than I had thought. It was a certificate from Canadian Blood Services!

Now I was truly impressed and my other half made me realize that I had dedicated the last 25 years of my life to giving blood 4 times a year.  Well when you put it that way, I guess it is impressive.

Now this story is not about bragging rights, because that just isn't me, rather it's a story about encouraging YOU or anyone in your family to become BLOOD DONORS!  The need is always there and as the Slogan says, "It's in you to give!"  It doesn't cost you anything other than about an hour of your time and it helps people that you may never ever meet!  But be certain of one thing,  the people that need the blood will be thanking you in their hearts for helping them!

Do you need something to help you through your darker times?  Take an hour and become a BLOOD DONOR, you will feel so much better about life when you know you make a difference.

I do hope that this, my story, will encourage you to become part of a lifeline for so many people that are in need!

Reviewing Mary Maxim: Exclusive Yarn and Crafts

I have recently received my first order from Mary Maxim. I am delighted both about the Bag-O-Day Crochet Tonal Hues yarn and about the variety of craft items offered by Mary Maxim. With more brick and mortar crafting stores closing over the past few years, it has been important to me find the reliable online sources. Mary Maxim quickly jumped to the top of my list of favorite crochet, yarn, and craft suppliers. I was reminded of my good first impression when I received the printed catalog in the mail.

So excited about the projects shown in the catalog

Mary Maxim: Exclusive Yarn and Crafts

I've only learned about MaryMaxim.com in the past year or two. This is a four generation, family owned and operated craft business with a history in the United States and Canada. 

They offer:

• Yarn (wide range of fiber, weight, and brands)
• Knit & crochet (kits, hooks, needles and accessories)
• Crafts (plastic canvas, paint-by-number, needlework, beaded kits, and diamond painting)
• Jigsaw Puzzles
• Patterns (vintage, modern, and patterns by popular individual designers)
• Gifts and Home
• Gift cards

When I heard talk about Mary Maxim on social media, I hadn't recalled hearing of them previously. Yet, while doing some research, I found that they have been in existence for over 65 years and one of their vintage catalog covers looked so very familiar. We very well may have had Mary Maxim patterns in my childhood home (my mother crocheted and I learned how to crochet at a very young age). 

I am over-the-moon excited about the Tonal Hues yarn that I ordered from Mary Maxim. This yarn was designed by Crystal at Bag-O-Day Crochet and is available exclusively from Mary Maxim. The colorways are gorgeous. The yarn is soft and luxurious. 

Tonal Hues yarn 

Mary Maxim also has craft kits available. For example, I would like to buy a particular crochet afghan pattern. That pattern is an exclusive pattern and includes the amount of yarn required for that pattern. I sometimes have difficulty choosing the yarn that is best suited for a particular pattern and this takes the guess work out of it. 

If you enjoy crafting, and aren't familiar with Mary Maxim, I hope you check out their website and/or request a free catalog.

Check Out This Medical Grade Manuka Honey for Wound Care

When it comes to wound care, I've always kept it simple. Living in Canada, Polysporin has been my go-to for as long as I can remember—it's the first thing I reach for when there's a cut, scrape, or any other wound that needs healing. 

However, I recently discovered something worth considering for wound care: ActiVon Medical Grade Manuka Honey.

---

I Used to Use Regular Honey… Until I Learned Why I Shouldn't!

A few years ago, I used to apply regular organic honey to minor wounds, thinking it was a natural and soothing solution. And truthfully, I never had any bad reactions to it. But earlier this year, I happened to do some reading—and wow, I had no idea that using non-medical honey on open wounds wasn't actually recommended.

Apparently, regular honey (even organic) can contain bacteria or spores that haven't been filtered out, which makes it unsafe for wound use. 

That discovery led me down a research rabbit hole, and it was there that I first came across medical-grade honey, specifically Manuka Honey from New Zealand.

---

Discovering ActiVon

That research led me to a product called ActiVon Medical Grade Manuka Honey, and I decided to give it a try. 

Right away, I could tell this wasn't anything like using regular honey. ActiVon is sterilized, filtered, and formulated specifically for wound care. It's a 100% medical-grade Manuka honey gel—nothing added, no preservatives—and it's safe to apply directly to open skin.

It's designed to create a moist healing environment, which is actually better for wound recovery. The gel has a thick but smooth consistency, making it easy to apply, and it stays in place nicely.

---

How I Personally Use It

This year, I had a wound that was healing well, but I still wanted to support the healing process and make sure everything stayed clean and healthy. I used a small amount of ActiVon directly on the area, and in my typical Canadian style, I paired it with a dab of Polysporin—that's just my habit.

Let me be clear: I'm not a doctor, and I don't recommend mixing products like that. I'm sharing what I personally did, and it worked well for me.

---

What Makes ActiVon Stand Out

Here's what impressed me most about using ActiVon:

• It keeps the wound moist, which helps promote faster healing and reduces the likelihood of scarring.

• It creates an osmotic effect, which gently pulls out harmful tissue and debris from the wound bed.

• It reduces the risk of infection while eliminating odors—without masking anything artificially.

• It felt gentle, and even though I was nervous to apply honey to a healing wound, it felt soothing. It's a bit sticky, of course, but that's to be expected.

• It's 100% natural, and the fact that it doesn't absorb into the bloodstream makes it a safe option.

• It contains no added preservatives, only pure, medical-grade Manuka honey that has been filtered and sterilized.

• The packaging makes it easy to use, and I love that the tube size is perfect—not too big, not too small.

---

A New Favorite in My First Aid Kit

This has now become a product I keep on hand. I've even purchased a second tube—just to have in case I need it again. It gave me peace of mind knowing I was using something natural yet medically designed for healing.

---

Would I Recommend It?

Absolutely—but with the usual disclaimer: talk to your doctor first. 

I'm someone who tends to dive in and try things on my own (sometimes before asking anyone!), but not everyone should do that. 

If you're considering trying ActiVon for wound care, it's best to get professional guidance, especially if you're dealing with chronic or serious wounds.

That said, if your doctor gives you the green light, ActiVon Medical Grade Manuka Honey is 100% worth exploring.

---

Disclaimer:
I'm not a medical professional. I'm sharing my personal experience using ActiVon. Always consult your healthcare provider before using any new product on wounds, especially if you have existing health conditions, Bee allergies, other allergies, or are treating serious injuries.

Raising Cane's - Restaurant Review

A few years ago, I moved to Kansas City to be near my family. One day, my daughter-in-law was at work with the only family car when she contacted my son that the car would not start. He called me and I picked him up so we could go ‘rescue’ her, jumpstart the car with my jumper cables, then get them to an auto supply store for a new battery.  On the way, my son suddenly announced that it looked like it was a “raising cain” day! 

When I did not respond; only staring at him perplexed, he asked if I heard what he said. I answered, yes, but I didn’t understand what he was talking about. 

Turns out, since it was going to be past dinnertime by the time we were done, thus making it too late to begin fixing dinner, they would stop to pick up take-out.  Being new to Kansas City, I had never heard of the place he was talking about ~ Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers Restaurant! :) 

History of the Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers Restaurants

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers restaurant (also known as Raising Cane’s or, simply, Cane’s) is a fast casual food chain specializing in chicken fingers. It was founded in 1996 by Todd Graves and Craig Silvey. Their first restaurant opened in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

The restaurant chain was named after Todd Graves’ yellow labrador retriever, who is the company’s mascot! :) 

The Raising Cane’s menu is very simple, consisting of really delicious chicken fingers, french fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, Cane’s Sauce and soft drinks. Today, this restaurant chain is considered to be the third largest chicken restaurant chain and has over 900 locations, both throughout the United States and internationally. 

Summary

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers has become one of my favorite ‘go-to’ places to eat and I highly recommend it if you are a fan of chicken fingers. The menu may be very limited (by design), but they do it VERY WELL. 

It had already been a favorite for my son and his family. Interestingly, this Spring one of my grandsons celebrated his 16th birthday and by June he had begun his very first summer job. Where else would the job be but at ‘Raising Cane’s.’ 🙂

Security & Safety Adjustable Convex Garage Mirror Reviewed

In my opinion, a wall mounted mirror is essential in a garage for safety and security.

When we bought our current home, a search priority was an enclosed garage.  I was definitely willing to give up interior living area to have the safety provided by a garage.  I have never regretted that decision.  Actually, I would love to have more garage space.

As the years have passed, our garage has become a work space for my husband when he changes the oil in our cars and a variety of other maintenance jobs.  He has his tool chest stored under his work table against the garage wall.  There is just enough space there for his supplies.

Our garage has also become an easy access storage area for gardening equipment, painting supplies, and fans.  We even have a second refrigerator against the back wall of the garage.  

What I didn't consider prior to living in a home with a garage are the safety aspects.  There are actually safety issues, both good and bad.  The garage protects our cars and everything stored there.  We can load and unload a car in enclosed safety.  No one can observe when we are preparing for a trip.  However, I can't see through the walls.  When the garage door is open, people or animals can creep up on me.  

Because we use the garage for storage, there is less room for maneuvering vehicles.  There are times when I've needed help to make sure I didn't hit something as I pull into the garage.

Thankfully, my husband went in search of a mirror to hang on the back wall of the garage several years ago.  It has truly been a life saver as well as a ding deterrent. 

 

Wall Mounted Garage Mirror 

 24 Inch Convex Mirror with Adjustable Fixing Bracket, Wide Angle Outdoor Indoor Safety MirrorCheck Price

I highly recommend this specific mirror for a garage or carport.  The mirror is not made of glass which means that it will not break, plus it does not have issues with the heat or cold of outdoor changing temperatures.  It is marine grade waterproof-rated.  No fogging over, no shattering & it is lightweight! 

The mirror reminds me of the old security mirrors in stores.  It allows you to see around obstacles where someone could be hiding.  It is like having a huge rear-view mirror on the garage or carport wall.   

We selected the 24" mirror, but it is also available in 32".  The 32" is shown on the right.  Our mirror is orange with the hood on top to block light.  However, there is an 18" size available without the hood.

 

Features of the Garage Mirror: 

• Shatterproof poly-carbonate mirror 
• Lightweight
• Adjustable 
• Marine grade water-proof rated 
• Wide view provided of area 
• Comes with mounting bracket

Book Review- Counting Miracles

Book Review

I have always loved Nicholas Sparks books, and his newest one did not disappoint.  This intriguing book like many of his others, seems to have two different story lines until they seamlessly merge into one.  This is a book I would highly recommend.
 

Book Summary

Counting Miracles introduces us to three key characters:

• Tanner Hughes, a former army ranger.  After his grandmother's passing, using some information she has given him, he is on a search for his biological father.
• Kaitlyn Cooper, a single mother and a doctor.
• Jasper, an elderly man who is haunted by a tragic past.

As the lives of these three people intersect they discover unexpected connections and miracles that change everything. Sparks masterfully weaves together their lives through his wonderful storytelling and great character development.  He makes us feel as if we are in their lives just waiting for what will happen next.

Of all of Nicholas Sparks books that I have read, this one inspired me the most.  The uplifting message and engaging characters will linger in your thoughts long after you have finished reading it.

My New, Easy Way to Get Soft, Smooth Heels and Feet Overnight

In October 2023 I wrote a post sharing the method I was using to soften dry, callused, cracked heels and feet. Since then, however, I have discovered an even faster, easier, and less messy way, thanks to the Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System. Here is my product review of this fantastic, convenient system that will especially appeal to those of you who don't like to wear socks over foot cream to bed.

A Quick, Easy and Elegant Upgrade to My Foot Care Routine

I’ve always believed that caring for our skin shouldn’t stop at our faces. As we get older, our feet need a little extra TLC, especially if we want to keep them looking soft, smooth, and healthy. When my heels became dry, calloused and cracked, I used to use a diamond foot rasp, then soak them in warm, soapy water for 20 minutes, dry them, apply a healing ointment or foot cream, and cover them with socks just before going to bed. That method is still very effective, but it's time-consuming and messy, and I don't love wearing socks to bed.

Fortunately, I have discovered a new way to smooth and soften my calloused feet and heal my cracked heels that takes just a few minutes and is easy and mess-free: The Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System. It's definitely an upgrade to the method I used to use!

A Review of the Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System

The Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System consists of a diamond foot file and a serum in a green glass bottle with a rollerball applicator. After using it for the past year, I can honestly say this is the easiest, most convenient foot care routine I’ve ever used, and surprisingly effective, considering how fast and simple it is. If you struggle with dry, cracked heels or stubborn calluses, this little duo could become your new best friend.

What’s Included in the System

The Flawless Feet System includes two products that work together beautifully:

Step 1: Serum Doctor Flawless Foot File

This isn’t your average foot file. It’s lightweight but sturdy and designed to be used on dry skin only. I use the file either just before my shower or just before bed to gently smooth away rough spots on my heels, the balls of my feet, and anywhere else that needs a little help.

Unlike other files I’ve tried, this one doesn’t feel flimsy or harsh. The grit is just right—it removes dead, dry skin effectively without feeling scratchy or leaving your feet irritated, the way coarser diamond file or "cheese grater"-style foot files can. In fact, even after just one use, my heels immediately looked smoother and felt softer to the touch. I usually use it about once a week to maintain smooth, soft, crack- and callus-free heels.

Step 2: Serum Doctor Flawless Feet Serum

Once your feet are freshly filed and prepped, it’s time for the star of the show, the Flawless Feet Serum. Unlike typical thick, greasy foot creams, this is a lightweight, fast-absorbing roll-on serum that hydrates, softens, and gently exfoliates at the same time. 

Key Ingredients

• Tea Tree Oil: Naturally deodorizes and keeps feet feeling fresh.
• Sodium Hyaluronate: A form of hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrates and plumps up dry, rough skin.
• Fruit Acid Complex (apple, lemon, orange, sugar cane): Provides gentle, natural exfoliation to smooth and brighten skin texture.

I love the mess-free rollerball applicator! Because it’s in a glass roll-on bottle, it’s easy to apply without getting the foot serum all over your hands or wasting the serum. The formula absorbs very quickly (within a minute), so your feet don’t feel slippery or sticky afterward. That also means you don't have to wear socks over this serum, the way you would with most foot care creams or ointments.

My Experience Using the System

The first time I used the Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System, I noticed an immediate difference in how soft my heels felt. But where this duo really shines is with consistent use. After a couple of weeks, the rough patches and cracks on my heels and the dry skin around my toes were significantly softer and smoother, and my feet looked healthier overall.

I especially appreciate how fast and easy this foot care system is to use:

1. File the bottoms of your dry feet with the Serum Doctor Flawless Foot File. Gently wipe away any residue (I use a paper towel). As I mentioned, you can file your feet either just before a shower or just before bed.
2. Roll on the Serum Doctor Flawless Feet Serum on clean, dry feet and let it absorb (it only takes a minute or so).

I’ve used plenty of foot creams over the years, but they all leave behind a greasy film that makes it impossible to put on socks or slippers right away. This serum is different—it delivers intense hydration without the mess.

Pros and Cons

What I Love

• Simple, quick, and effective two-step system that takes just a few minutes
• Hands-free, mess-free serum in a roll-on applicator bottle
• Deep hydration without greasiness
• No need to cover with socks
• Gentle exfoliation that smooths rough patches over time
• Subtle, fresh, herbal scent, thanks to the tea tree oil
• Works beautifully for maintaining results between pedicures

Considerations

The price is definitely higher than more mainstream foot care products you buy in the drugstore or on Amazon. The complete Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System (diamond file and foot serum), which is sold at stores like Nordstrom and Anthropologie, among others, costs $56 for the set at the time of this post's publication, but you use so little product each time that it lasts for months. The Flawless Feet Serum in the glass rollerball applicator bottle can be repurchased as needed for $42 (as of this post's publication date). The diamond Flawless Foot File has lasted me for more than a year so far and shows no signs of needing to be replaced. However, replacement files are available for $20 (as of this post's publication date).

If you don't mind using greasy foot creams or ointments and wearing socks over them, the products I shared in my post on How to Soften Dry, Callused, Cracked Heels the Easy Way are less expensive. The choice is yours.

Not Just For Women

After watching my husband use a cheese grater-style foot file, I bought a second Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System for him. He loves how fast and easy it is to use, how quickly the serum absorbs, and how smooth the diamond foot file and serum leave his feet. 

Final Thoughts

The Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System has earned a permanent spot in my self-care routine. I love that it combines gentle exfoliation with deep, lasting hydration, all without leaving my feet greasy or slippery or having to wear socks over a cream or ointment.

If you’ve been frustrated by rough, dry heels or just want to keep your feet looking their best year-round, I highly recommend giving this system a try. It’s an easy, at-home solution that actually delivers visible results, especially if you stick with it consistently.

Your feet will thank you!

Vintage Play-Doh Count Creepyhead & Friends Playset Review

If you've always loved Play-Doh, monsters and/or Halloween, Kenner's Count Creepyhead and Friends Play-Doh set is one you should own. It allows you to create your favorite monster faces and includes four masks representing Dracula or a vampire, a werewolf or the wolfman, a mummy and an evil countess, villain or queen.

The set includes the figure or body, his hair, a cape and the four masks referenced above. It is recommended for individuals aged 3 and up and is marked set number 24210 with the UPC code 076281242101. 

Here's the original television commercial for the set:

And here's a review by Mike Mozart from The Toy Channel on YouTube. Mike does a great job of reviewing the toy in action and of making you want to own the set.

Unfortunately, it is a vintage 1984 playset, which means it is retired, rare and expensive. What is it worth today? The price does vary and I have seen a new set sell for $399 but today's results are somewhat lower than that and, of course, you can find used sets for considerably less. See for yourself what the Count Creepyhead and Friends Play-Doh set is valued at today by clicking here to eBay.

What an great addition to a Play-doh or Halloween-themed toy collection!

Happy Haunting!
