Do you remember playing the game musical chairs as a kid? You know, you'd put a whole bunch of chairs in a circle, then somebody would sing a song until....STOP! And you'd have to scramble like mad to find a spot before that last seat was taken. Often a fun game to play as a child, so I guess the adult version is what's been happening around my … [Read more...]
You Had Me at Pumpkin
October is when I officially allow myself to experience all things pumpkin. I sort of have an unwritten rule that I can't technically fully indulge until we get through the month of September, because I'm one of those people that need to segment out my holiday enjoyment. Halloween. Then Thanksgiving. Lastly, Christmas. Don't mess with … [Read more...]
Life is Sweet
Hi Friends! Can you believe it's been a whole month since our last chat? Time flies when you're having fun...and when you're busy with life with 3 kids, a new job, and everything else! Yes, that's right, you read that right, a new job! Shortly after my last post, I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful job offered to me to work part time … [Read more...]
Seasons of Change
I'm not sure about you, but this time of year always has me anticipating change. The season is preparing to move from vibrant summer to fading autumn. The kids are returning to school for another year, getting older, getting wiser. And my inner clock tells me that time is passing quickly. Life flies by at a rate we can't control. It … [Read more...]
Road Trip – Kentucky & Ohio
Summer is a great time for new adventures. We decided to take our own family adventure on a road trip down south - to Kentucky & Ohio - for a few days last week to explore. This trip was especially fun because we went with one of my best friends from college and her family. All of our kids are the same ages, and have a blast together. They … [Read more...]
Summertime
As the great Ella Fitzgerald sang, "Summertime, and the livin' is easy...." It's been a good summer here for us so far. We've enjoyed our share of hot weather, swimming, sleeping in late and enjoying down time. I don't really plan a whole lot of big projects around the house for the summer months, because we basically live outside. But we … [Read more...]
How to Get a Faux Vintage Furniture Finish
There's just something about a vintage, chippy finish that really makes my heart swoon. I think it brings so much charm and character into a space when furniture has a story to tell. However, as much as I love those unique vintage finds, they are often hard to come by in good shape or without spending a pretty penny. So today I'm going to … [Read more...]

Planting a Backyard Garden
Here we are, almost to June, and we are just getting around to planting our backyard garden. It seems like it's taken forever for our temperatures to warm up enough to allow for planting anything. And have you ever seen the movie Peter Rabbit? Those beautiful English gardens are enough to make anyone want to move to the countryside and become a … [Read more...]
Chicken Update: What’s New with the Coop?
It's been a while since I gave an update on our chickens...and for good reason. They've been absent from our coop for the last 6 months! This year our original flock was turning 3 years old, and we knew that their steady egg laying days were soon coming to an end. It's hard to justify keeping chickens when you don't get eggs in return on a … [Read more...]
