Hello! I’ve recovered from my One Room Challenge, and have started onto a new back yard project! I’m so happy to have a little time to spend digging in the dirt and getting the backyard ready for spring! The top priority on my to-do list was to get our backyard patio whipped into shape for the summer season! I had two major assignments, the first was to get the patio really clean. This is our second season with this new patio, and it was looking pretty dingy after sitting under a stack of snow for the last six months. The second, was to build an outdoor coffee table. READ MORE

Cleaning Out My Closet
Does this ever happen to you? I went up to my room to find a new shirt because Gus' diaper decided to not work while I was holding him (major boo). Then, as I was searching for a new top to wear something came over me. I started ripping my ...
PORCH TIMEZ = BEST TIMEZ
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a good relaxing weekend. Ours was crazy busy. However, we did manage to get in a small sliver of porch time. I know I’ve mentioned before that our front porch is pretty much the greatest place in the whole world. It’s been open ...
Eggcellent Eggs
Me and the kid folk made Easter Eggs yesterday. “Wahoo!” as Finn would say. For me, it was more stressful than fun. After the kids quickly spilt two dye cups I was about to lose my mind. But, it happens, and I tried to stay cool. We did try some ...
Tutorial : Knob Stew
This ain't my first rodeo. Before last week I had only attempted stripping 1 set of door hardware in my upstairs bedroom. The first time I stripped the hardware it was H-A-R-D. I have no idea why it was so difficult, maybe it was because it was my first time, ...
Building A Raised Bed Vegetable Garden
I was so excited when my Burpee Aluminum Corners finally made an appearance in the mail earlier this week. We had been waiting patiently for them for almost two weeks. Last weekend Jeff and I ran over to the Home Depot to pick up some cedar boards so we ...
Installing a Kid Bell
Anybody else have this problem? Your kid(s) go outside and then they can't get back in because they're too short to reach the door knob/handle/latch? Finn and Elsa have been spending lots of time out in the yard during the day. I have been leaving the back door open so ...
Finalizing Paint Colors
If you're still with me through all this paint chaos, Thanks! I know I am obsessive about this stuff, but really I have never had a house painted before, and I want it to look as good as humanely possible. Reasons I do this; because painting your house and changing ...
Etsy Finds
I know this is a total non spring-time post, but I couldn't help it. Remember my post from two days ago about finishing off the bedroom?? Well that got me thinking... Maybe I need a new afghan for the arm chair in our master bedroom. I've got two other crocheted ...
