Well, Spring Break is here and we’ve got the weather to match! We headed outside this morning to take a few pictures of any signs of Spring that we could find around the property. It was an activity I planned to try to keep Kennedy busy and entertained, but I’m pretty sure I had as […]
Make Your Own Custom Storage Basket!
It seems like I own about 8000 different storage baskets, boxes, bins, etc. It also always seems like the ones I have are never quite right. So I buy more, also either not quite right or just waaay too expensive. Until now! We needed something for Kennedy’s bedside table so I went right ahead and […]
A Misty, Melty Morning
The weather the other morning was so neat and atmosphery. Know what I mean? It was like driving through the opening sequence of classic horror movie as I came home from dropping Kennedy off at school. But in a good way. There was so much thick, misty, moodiness in the air. The sky was […]
Big Ol’ Window
Hey, wanna see something else we found in our garage attic? I’m not in love with these photos, but I am in love with this window. Chris was a little grossed out that I wanted to bring it inside, but how could I not? Just 15 or 16 passes with a rag and some soapy […]
Christmas Mud Room
Well, it’s the last day of November, so it’s about time we get into the Christmas swing of things, doncha think? We had our first snowfall last night and everything is looking all perfect and Christmassy. We’re all just loving it around here. I thought I’d start at the very beginning, a very good place […]
Good Old Fashioned Fresh Air and Excercise
Have you been outside to play today? Today I’m reminding myself to always keep my family’s health and wellness at the very top of my list of priorities. I thought you might enjoy remembering this with me.
We have a garden!…Well, we have a dirt rectangle.
We’re planning on starting a garden next Spring, so we had to dig up the grass in a section of the property because there wasn’t any garden from when the last owners lived here. We decided to tackle the huuuuuge task this fall so that we’ll have a nice level area to make a skating […]
Some Amazing Discoveries,Then Some Cake
So, blog-worthy things happen around here pretty much ten times a day, but time to actually document and share them… not so much. Anyway, here’s one thing! Oh yes. That’s original hardwood there. Isn’t that kinda the dream? You buy the big old country house in need of love, pull back some of the ugly […]
Early October Mini Tour
Hey hey. I just wanted to pop in and show you a few pics from around the property right now. I took these a few days ago as the leaves were starting to really get fally. Here’s our house on a beautiful sunny Fall day. You’ve seen our mudroom entrance way already, but I guess […]
Harvesty Corn Bundles
I did an easy little craft a couple of weeks ago when I was setting up my fall mudroom and I’m pretty much in love with it. I felt like I was making real authentic country fall decorations now that we live in a real authentic country house, but then it occurred to me that […]
