Motherhood Redefined Luxury weekend – Special promo code 75 percent discount!

by Tricia

Ladies! I’ve just been given permission to tell you about a very special promotion. Motherhood Redefined is going to be holding a Mom’s luxury weekend getaway for self re-discovery this September 21st to 23rd in Phoenix Arizona.

Think about it … a weekend away from everyday life, accommodations in a four star luxury resort, celebrity speakers and interesting events including a fashion show.

Celebrity guest speakers that will be at the event are keynote speaker and relationship expert John Gray, Sheila Kelley of S-Factor fame, Dr. Lana Holstein will discuss intimacy, and Kathy Buckley – comedian and motivational speaker as well as a few other celebrity guest speakers who’ve also been guests on Oprah.

The point of the whole weekend is to give mothers a change to get away from their “mother hood” and have a chance to rediscover themselves, make connections with other women, spark their passions and interests again and just to treat themselves to an enjoyable and entertaining weekend.

Along with the guest speakers and fashion show, those attending Mother Redefined will also get to attend special interactive workshops such as learning how to dance the Salsa.

Now, the reason why I’m so excited about this is because the people running Motherhood Redefined decided to leak word of a very special promotion to only a few bloggers. I was one of the lucky few and I now have the privilege of letting you in on a special deal that will give you 75% off the regular price of the event.

If you use this special promotion code – 7575 – you’ll be able to attend all of the events, see all of the speakers and stay in the four star resort for only $319.50. Yes that’s right. Everything I’ve mentioned above is included in that price. The normal price for this event is $1,278! So you can see what a deal this special promo really is.

I know that a lot of women read this blog. Why don’t you treat yourself to a weekend away from the “mother hood”? Tell a good friend and go to the Motherhood Redefined event together. Just don’t forget to use the special promo code 7575 if and when you sign up!

Balloons in the garden

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

Balloon Flower Purple

The Balloon flower is a pretty flower once it becomes established in your garden.

I have three of this bluish purple kind, as well as two white balloon flower plants and one pink balloon flower plant. Yes, I love balloon flowers. Can you tell?

In the lower right corner I think that you can see a bud forming. The petals are folded in and as the bud grows it looks like a hollow ball or a balloon. When it finally opens the flower appears as above.

Unfortunately the flower, once it’s bloomed, doesn’t last long – perhaps a day at most. The flower dies quickly and droops like a wet rag.

I’d just finished picking off a bunch of dead flowers before I took this photo. That’s why there’s so many flowerless stalks. When a dead bloom is plucked off it’s stalk a milky white substance drips from the damaged stalk to heal the wound.

Bi-color Monkshood makes a lovely addition to the garden

Bi-color Monkshood buds

Monkshood Aconitum

Our bi-color monkshood has started to bloom. It’s a lovely flower. A little unusual looking but lovely just the same. I should have tried to get a photo of the foliage as well as it’s quite nice.

I grow two types of Monkshood. The second type doesn’t bloom until the end of August thought – it’s the Azure monkshood and it’s absolutely lovely. Don’t worry there’ll be photos when it blooms.

Bi-color Monkshood Mature Flower

Monkshood Aconitum

I grow this monkshood in the far corner of my garden near some roses and our very very slow growing holly tree. It spruces up the area when it’s in bloom.

Do you grow any unusual or less common types of plants?
