How I Get Gardening Done with Two Kids

So the other day I actually got to get out in my garden and do some work for a little while before it started to rain. Pnut and I played with bubbles for a little while and then I went “dead-heading” my flowers so that new growth could come out. I also put up the rest of our little white fencing that will border all of our gardens.

Some people may be wondering…”How do you garden with two kids?” Well we have a “baby jail” as my husband would call it, or a playpen to the common folk. We use that outside and outside only to keep beany entertained and not eating rocks or grass. Pnut pretty much just runs around playing or he will help me in the garden. Another alternative is using a Mei Tai with the Bean. I place him low on my back due to all the bending I due in the garden. He isn’t much of a fan of being worn but if he doesn’t want to be in the “baby jail” then we have no other choice if I want to attempt to get some work done. Or, I will wait until the bean takes his nap to do some gardening.

So it is possible to get things done with two kids, you just have to think creatively how you have to do it.

What are you kid tricks? How do you get things done with kids in the home?
