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...]
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...]
I’m Dreaming of a White Kitchen
It's finally here! December 1st! That means the "official" countdown to Christmas has begun. While some of you may already have your trees up and the entire house decked out from top to bottom, I'm still playing a little catch up over here. We were gone traveling over Thanksgiving for 6 days, so I'm a bit behind on decking the halls. But I've … [Read more...]
Casual Family Room for Fall
I'm smack dab in the middle of what I would call a busy season in my life. Juggling the schedule of a SAHM of 3 kids is only one facet of my life right now. I'm also a blogger and shop owner. A volunteer librarian. A worship singer. And helping upstart a new women's ministry. All good, good things. But also things that force me to function one … [Read more...]
Christmas in July
You know when you hit that part of the summer when you've really had just about all you can take of the hot, humid weather and you just want to enjoy something completely opposite of the season you're stuck in? Well, we hit that mark here this week and decided to have a little fun with planning a Christmas in July day! I've actually wanted to … [Read more...]
Patriotic Summer Living Room Decor
Happy Belated 4th of July! It's hard to believe we've already come so far into the summer. Typically by the 4th of July, I start to feel a little depressed because I know we're on the "fast downward slope" to the end of our vacation and before you know it, we'll be back to school in August. The department stores around here are even putting school … [Read more...]
Spring Family Room
I'm not sure why, but this year spring seems to be slowing creeping its way back into Wisconsin, and in no hurry whatsoever. You know the sloth from the movie Zootopia? If spring were an animal, it'd totally be that sloth. The cold weather and lack of sunshine is sticking around a little longer than it should be. I decided our family room needed … [Read more...]
Vintage Button Valentine Art
Something about the word "vintage" just automatically has me seeing googly-heart eyes all over the place! So when I decided to create a cute little Valentine's Day canvas using some vintage buttons, I knew my heart would be going pitter patter. Major crushing going on! I started out with a simple white canvas I found at Walmart in the craft … [Read more...]
Rustic Christmas Eve Crate
It's finally here! In 2 more days it will be Christmas! Ironically, to me it seems like this season has just flown by, while for my kids, I am sure it has crept as slowly as molasses to get here. With all the hustle and bustle, it's easy for the real meaning of this time of year to get lost in the chaos. I seem to always want to cling to those … [Read more...]
