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...]
Master Bedroom Refresh
We've made it to May...or should I say Maycember, as I've heard it lovingly referred to all over social media lately. You know, just as busy as December, but without the presents? This month and all the stuff crammed into it is enough to drive anyone with school age children crazy. But I can see the summer vacation exit sign up ahead on the … [Read more...]
Resurrection Garden Craft
Can you believe it's already just a few short days away from Easter? This week for Christians is incredibly emotional - recounting Jesus' last days here on earth, his painful torture and death on the cross and being laid to rest in the tomb. But yet...there's hope! On the third day He rose from the grave and defeated death once and for all! We … [Read more...]
Spring is in the Air…Finally!
Hi there stranger. I know, its been a while. I needed a bit of a break from the constant pull that blogging tends to demand. Don't get me wrong, I love sharing snapshots of my life through this little window, but there's still nothing quite like just living in the moment. Not having to have your house camera-ready and just enjoying down … [Read more...]
