My Kitchen Flower Garden with Boon

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Boon. All opinions are my own.

Living in an apartment with no outdoor space, I really miss having a garden. To make up for our lack of gardening space I like to keep potted plants dotted around the apartment to add a little touch of greenery. Every room in our apartment features at least one potted plant; an orchid on a shelf, a bromeliad on a bookcase, succulents on a window sill, air plants hanging on a wall... Every room that is, except for our kitchen.

I would love to have a little kitchen garden filled with herbs and edible flowers but alas, our kitchen does not have a window in which to grow them. I've tried growing potted herbs on the divider between the kitchen and the dining area but they just don't want to grow there. But just because I'm not able to grow the kitchen garden I dream of, it doesn't mean that our kitchen has to be completely devoid of "plant life".

In fact, thanks to Boon our little kitchen is full of blooms! These gorgeous flowers may not have any culinary uses but they do come in very handy in the kitchen. You see, these blooms are not just a pretty face. No. While they may be lovely to look at, they're also hard workers.

52 Weeks: Week 14

Week 14: Doing the dishes

This post is sponsored by Boon. All opinions are my own.

When I was a kid I used to love washing the dishes. I hated drying them, but washing felt like such a grown up thing to do. Plus with all those bubbles it was fun! My brother and I used to fight over who got to wash the dishes. Of course, now washing the dishes is like the worst chore ever. But that's ok because I have a dishwasher. And two little helpers who are desperate to wash the dishes.


Isn't it funny how kids all seem to love cleaning? Ava and Lola always jump at the chance of doing a little sweeping, cleaning mirrors and windows, scrubbing the bath tub, loading the washing machine, unpacking the dishwasher, and cleaning chairs and tables. Tidying up their room and packing away toys is a completely different story, but anything that comes under "cleaning" rather than "tidying" they're all over. Washing the dishes is always at the top of their list of cleaning fun but seeing as most things just go in the dishwasher there's nothing much for them to wash. That said, we do go through an awful lot of sippy cups and cups in our home each day and I could probably halve the frequency that the dishwasher is run if the girls just washed their cups and reused them rather than putting them in the dishwasher after one drink.

So when Boon released their new SUDS bottle washer I knew it would be a perfect addition to our kitchen. The girls can clean their cups thoroughly and reuse them throughout the day without having to fill the sink with soapy water. Perfect. The girls cut down on the number of cups being used, the dishwasher is run less often and they get to help out with one of their favorite cleaning jobs. Plus it's loads of fun to use!
