Mama Failla and I are on a mission to surprise my eight months pregnant sister Allie with her dream raised bed garden in just THREE HOURS! Will we pull it off? Absolutely!
My sister, who's also my best friend, lives right here in sunny Florida. She and her husband have been dreaming of a backyard garden farm, but with a baby on the way, life has gotten a bit hectic. So, I flew in from New York to give her the surprise of a lifetime!
I can’t believe I’m gonna be an aunt! I hope my niece will love it.
