If the bare trees and empty flower beds are starting to get to you, how about starting an indoor garden? Click & Grow’s Smart Garden makes it easy to plant and nurture vegetables and herbs inside, no matter the weather outside.
This compact smart garden fits easily on your kitchen counter or in other tight spaces. It has a water reservoir that holds a month’s worth of water (a water level float lets you know when it’s time to refill) and LED light cycles, on for 16 hours and off for 8. This garden also includes three click-in plant cups, three clear dome germination lids, three plant collars, and three basil starter pods to get you started.
This indoor gardening system is $69.99 on sale at Nordstrom.
P.S. Stay tuned for our roundup of Black Friday sales!

We’re in Florida on a trip organized by my in laws and they put our family of 6 (kids 2,4,7 and 8) in a ground floor room with a king bed, a half inflated full air mattress on a tile floor and a pack n play. And it has TWO doors including one sliding to the outdoors with the pool and a dock twenty feet away. I am really trying to be flexible here but we’ve been here a day and last night was pretty miserable. We aren’t leaving the kids alone in the room for obvious reasons, but I feel like we’re being tested by my MIL and it’s not cool.
In the car en route to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws…mildly stressed about having my chaotic 3-kid family around my two SILs with their perfectly behaved only children. But it will all be fine. Also — we checked out “playaway” tablets from the library that come pre loaded with a bunch of kid apps. Such a great option!
Do most people actually have tomorrow off? I don’t, although it will be a WFH day that’s light on work since my kindergartner is home.
What fun activities do you have plan with the kids? We are staying local and trying to think fun ways to spend the long weekend.
