I’m so glad to be home! A full month away from my Rosie (and my own bed) was just too much. Next time, maybe just 2 weeks. But, it was a very successful trip and I learned a lot about finding plant deals, shipping plants and most of all, traveling with a little dog. I’m sharing all of my learned lessons with you in this video. Enjoy!

Carmen, you don't have to be an alcoholic to appreciate the Serenity Prayer. It also helps if you are a parent.
Love love love this kind of video!!! But then again, I love all your videos!!
Happy to see the plants made it okay! Thanks for sharing. Twice the Lucy in one video, yay.😊
So glad you’re home safe.
Will pray for your unspoken prayer request.
Loved the repot. And so glad they shipped well!!!
We have a plant swap/sale coming up and all that soil you took off those plants I would use for the ones I sell. I mix it altogether for the propagations. That way I’m not using my good fox farm. Either that or I put it in my garden beds.
So glad the dogs are working it out together.
Thanks for another video.
I'm sending a prayer for you and your son. I do understand what you were saying I have the same issue with my son trying to establish a better relationship. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful plants.
Hey Carmen! Did you notice a difference between the happy frog forest vs the ocean one??
🙏🏽 ❤
I enjoyed hearing more about your trip! Thanks Carmen!
Everything looking great and refreshed 😊
I bet Rosie is just beside herself now that you are home 😊 Mark jr . 🥰
Love the photos 😊
God Bless You🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Prayers for God’s healing of the relationship with your son🙏
I loved this video and I’m so glad you, Georgie and the plants are home!👍🏼
I’m sure Rosie and Georgie are excited to be together again😊
I’m looking forward to updates on how the plants are doing as the months roll by, too.
Thanks Carmen and God Bless🙏❤️😊
I will pray for you and your son, I know what it’s like to have a fractured relationship with a son. 🙏🏻😊🪴
Carmen so glad you had a wonderful trip…sometimes it does good to get away for awhile. Glad your back! 🥰
Is good to be back.
Loved your video!!!
You got some great plants! Love the chatty repot. Welcome home!
Thanks for sharing these gorgeous plants. Glad Georgie had such a good trip. Carmen, keeping you and your son in my prayers. ❤❤
So glad you had fun. Sending positive vibes for your family.
🙏🏼
Great follow up video on your trip! What an adventure with all these plants! I love the Monstera Peru! Also, the dogs are so cute together!🥰🥰
So glad you & Georgie are home safe & sound & had a good time on your trip. I will miss all the neat plant shops but I know there will be plenty more in the future. I feel even though postage can be costly shipping plants, if it’s the only way to have certain ones ya can’t find at home, then it’s worth it. My problem is I want the big ones! Lol
Oh Carmen I am so glad that those plants are looking so great, glad that they traveled back safely, well most of them did, sorry about the ones that had a struggle. I have all of those Hoya and love them, I have the Hoya curtisii that I got at Lowe's in a 6 inch hanging pot and it is doing so great and blooms all the time. Your soil mixture looks really great. Oh that Spathiphyllum sensation variegata is gorgeous, I have 3 and the domino is variegated and I really love that. Oh where you have those plants it looks really great. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, I hope you have a blessed and restful rest of your weekend, sending love and hugs, bye! 😉🤗🙌👏💜💜💜
Love those Target pots…how much was the ceramic hanging pots? And the bigger pot with the burle marx?
I ❤️ American Eskimo 🐕 , that I grew up with from age 7 to 23…
Carmen, I’m so happy that you’re plants, Georgie and you all made it back home safely🫶. Love the repot, they will definitely be a lot happier. Rosie and Georgie cam🥰, they seem to be getting along great, it’s bringing out the puppy again in Rosie. I need to get to target, haven’t been there in a long while, need to check out the pots.I’m so sorry to hear about you and your sons relationship, everything will work out, just give it some time. We all go through ups and downs with our families, no family is perfect. TFS 🫶
Your Peru is a much better plant than the Costa Farms in SW Pennsylvania
.
That Peru is stunning 💚 I'm also in Florida and I can't find them in the Big Box stores.
Carmen thank you for taking us along. I will pray for you and your son. Im going through the same. The doggie info was great. I didn't know what to do I thought it was more expensive than that. I have an 8 pound poodle and I don't want to leave her with anyone. Love the video again thank you.
I will be in prayer for God's work in your relationship with your son. Rosie and Georgie look to be having a wonderful time together. Thank you for taking us along on your trip. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
I’ll be praying for you, Carmen, and when I meet with my friend to pray on Tuesday, we will both pray for you ❤
Thanks for sharing. Some great plants.
For as many plants as you sent back the damage was almost Minimal. Thank you so much For For the puppy Cam😊😊
Welcome home. I enjoyed your chatting repotting. Nice to hear about your trip and see how the plants made it home. Hope the dogs are settling into a happy family now.
I have two grown children and know how hard it is to balance being a Mom and a friend. Prayers
Wow what a great plant haul. All the nurseries were so nice to see. Glad you had a wonderful time. God Bless all your family. Rosie is still the princess.
God Bless you and your son. Hope is a good word.
Hi Carmen, I have the Sensation and I give mine bright indirect natural light with grow light in the background. I also found using bottled water keeps the brown tips from happening, when I am not using my humidifier, the humidity in my grow room is about 45-50. Glad you enjoyed your trip and I will keep you and your son in my prayers!!
So happy you had a nice trip! You found some beautiful plants! 🙏
Hi Carmen I’m so happy to hear you had a great time with your family. I enjoyed watching your video about the plants I learn so much from you when you share about how you take care of your plants. I also want you to know that I prayed for your family and knowing that God is in charge everything is good. In Jesus Name Amen. Until the next time.
They look so good. I'm happy God took care of you and you are back home safe.
I enjoy watching you report you plant babies so glad you made it home safe and that you enjoy your trip
I loved this. You’re a great storyteller with a soothing voice. Sent a prayer up for restoration between you and your son.
Hi Carmen, i feel with you. It is necessary and nice to meet parents and children in real, it doesent matter how old the children are. And that you missed Rosie i can un derstand it really, only an owner of a dog is knowing this, the dog is like a child too. Best wishes and happy easter days from Martina!
Hi Carmen, thank you for another awesome video and for The Rosie and Georgie Cam! Both were wonderful. Enjoyed watching you repot all your new plants as well. So many beauties and everyone looks so happy in their new home. Take care and happy growing! 👌🪴😣
Thanks Carmen, I listen to your chats with my morning coffee. You are very relaxing.❤❤❤
I love listening in and watch you repot.
This was very relaxing to watch. I enjoyed your share about shipping plants and traveling with your fur baby.
Nice plant
Loved this video! Enjoyed notes about your trip and your family and, of course, Rosie and Georgie!!👍👏😀
