I just have a little funny story I would like to share! Last spring as we were getting ready to put in our yard our next door neighbor came over and told us about this fertilizer that was free (that should have been my first red flag) and that he would guarantee that our lawn would be the greenest and thickest in the neighborhood. So we decided to use it becuase it sounded awesome! Well it was biocompost, or something like that anyways as soon as they delivered it and I took a whiif of my front yard I about passed out. Apparently this biocompost was human waste!! SICK!!! Not only sick but DISGUSTING!! Our whole neighborhodd stunk so bad and everyone knew it was ours and our neighbors house. It smelled so bad that Madi and I didn't dare to open the windows or even walk across the yard. In fact one day Madi saw a neighbor playing in our yard and she said, "look mommy he is playing in the poop!" Well after a few weeks the smell wore down and the fertilizer has kicked in. A year later, Our lawn is out of control!!! I swear to keep on top of it we would need to mow it like every other day. It is really ridiculous, so the moral of the story is if you don't want to be known as the stink house and you don't want to be mowing your yard three times a week don't use human waste!!!!!

I didn't want to say anything but since you mentioned it...we almost put our house on the market to get away from the smell. Just kidding :-). I promise we couldn't smell it at our house and Brad was right...you do have the nicest lawn in the neighborhood.
I love the new look to your blog. It's very, very cute!!!
Last summer when I would jog by your house at the end of the day I always wondered why your yard smelled so strong! I wondered what kind of manure you used... NOW I KNOW! Yikes! I can't believe that it was really human!
I must say that your lawn is BY FAR the greenest in the neighborhood! It looks amazing and what a funny story!
Brandi! your daughter is hilarious! I love hearing all the funny things she says. She takes after her funny mama! Cute new blog layout!
That is so funny. Gross but funny. I will take your word for it but I am not going to take my chances. But I must say your yard looks good.
So, so funny Brandi. I hope your lovely yard doesn't encourage anyone to forgo their bathrooms and visit your yard instead!!!
Also....I love your new header and background. I want to know how to do that. Will you teach me? Seriously. Also, also...I want to have a book party but I don't have your phone number. emial it to me at wynnmd1@comcast.net.
Brandi- Madi is so cute. Her recital pictures were adorable. I think you are right, she probably was the cutest one there, but I don't know anyone else, so how can I compare! LOL Love ya Lindsay
