Well, summer is officially here! Swimming, popsicles, lightning bugs, bare feet and sleeping in. Seems like we wait all year for these 3 months to get here! I've been reflecting a lot these past few weeks about what we went through last summer at this time in losing out to the farmhouse of our dreams, and how different our lives may have been if … [Read more...]
Don’t Quit Your Daydream
Hello Friends! The past month has just flown by and it seems like a lot has transpired since my last post. We were dealing with some unfortunate egg-eating in our flock, which I'm thankful to say was remedied by clipping their beaks. You can read all about that crazy adventure here. However, shortly after this problem was resolved, another … [Read more...]
Birds Behaving Badly – Dealing with Egg Eaters
Hey there and happy Friday! Thought I'd update you all today on an issue we've been having with our feathered ladies. About a week or so ago, I started noticing that every time I would go collect eggs from our coop, they were smashed and broken. At first I thought, "huh, that's weird," but after a few days of noticing this was developing … [Read more...]
Budget Friendly Kitchen Breakfast Bar & Stools
So, you know all the popular design shows that work with thousands of dollars for budgets that make us all drool with remodel envy? (I'll admit, I'm the first to grab the remote, a bowl of popcorn and plop down on the couch to enjoy them.) But here, in the real world of design-on-your-pocket-change budgets, my home renovations must fit the … [Read more...]
Upcycled Fabric Spring Hoop Art
Hoop, there it is! Since we're in the middle of March madness, I figured a little basketball humor was appropriate for today's post. Speaking of basketball, the highlight of my kids' spring break this week was having a FREE basketball hoop discovered on the side of the road and delivered to our driveway by their grandfather & uncle. Talk about … [Read more...]
How to Transform Your Kitchen for Spring
As I write this, it is currently snowing like a fiend and the sun is simultaneously shining outside. Talk about an oxymoron if there ever was one! But doesn't it seem fitting for this time of year? Spring here in Wisconsin hasn't really officially sprung yet. Although we've had a few slightly warmer days, it still feels like winter just wants to … [Read more...]
Cupcake Wars Birthday Party
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! I think this is one of those holidays that you either love or hate. I for one, happen to love it, but not for any romantic reason. I've just always enjoyed an excuse to share a little extra love! (and chocolate!) Speaking of sweets, one of my little sweeties happened to have a birthday earlier this month and we … [Read more...]
5 Great Children’s Books All About Winter
Here in Wisconsin, when it's negative 5 degrees and the cold air literally hurts your face, you don't spend an awful lot of time doing outside activities this time of year. Granted, my kids do still bundle up a few times a day, fleece face masks and all, to go outside and play at recess for a short while. But primarily, we find things indoors to do … [Read more...]
Happy New Year & Winter’s Here
Happy Friday & Happy New Year! I am finally getting back into the swing of things after our busy holiday season came to an end, kids (& I) returned back to school and we are finally all well again. (Our family came down with mega-colds over Christmas break, and I ended up with a sinus infection, which wasn't too much fun.) It feels good … [Read more...]
The Barn Wood Christmas Box
I have a slight obsession with big red barns - actually, I'm a fan of any ol' barn - but the red ones just sort of hit me right in the soft spot in my heart. I love the feeling you get walking into an old barn, the smell of the old wood, the beauty of the beams above you and the gorgeous light streaming in from all the cracks in the walls. … [Read more...]
