Those who know me well might compare me to Monica from Friends. I have some slight OCD tendencies (stop laughing those who are scoffing that "slight" as being generous) and while I may not have our house spotless all the time (I just don't have the time for it), I do...
Leave no seed behind!
I made the journey into our garden today and was relieved that I didn't want to run screaming from it as soon as I opened the back door of the barn. Unfortunately (and sometimes fortunately), we cannot see our garden from the main house...only when we walk through the...
Donkeys & Chickens & Deer – Oh MY!
A big woof to all my dog friends out there! Sorry it's been a while since I last barked at you but I have been busy trying to seduce all the boys in town because I was in heat! Oh what fun!! I even managed to convince a couple guys to run away from home...but mom...
Herb gardens of inspiration
I know I've already gone on quite a bit about Hessenpark and how fantastic it was...but I'm not quite finished. Since I have a few more photos to share just about their herb gardens, and a bit of info as well, I thought I would break this down into a separate post. I...
Walking through the past – HessenPark
Having guests in town is always a good reason to drag everyone out of the house on a sunny day and go do something incredibly touristy. We thought about making them do some work around here...but the weather was just too nice so we bundled ourselves up a bit (it was...
Got any grapevines hanging around?
The sun is shining here today, for the first time in what feels like weeks. And although it's supposed to be only in the mid-50's the next few days, I definitely prefer cool days with sunshine than grey, miserable, rainy days like those that usually fill the winters...
The bedroom overhaul
We had a lot of work ahead of us this weekend. Thankfully we are IKEA building pros so the stack of boxes laying in Mackenzie's future room wasn't all that daunting...but actually figuring out how we planned to arrange all the new closets with our current furniture...
A to Z’s of Homemaking
I picked this up from Finally Living Deliberately who got it from Lizzies Homeworld and I thought it would be fun to play along. A ~Aprons--y/n If y, what does your fav. look like? Well I do have one or two aprons, but I rarely wear them. I probably should put them on...
A little natural fall decor
Some days I would love to be more like Martha Stewart. She has this knack to make things look so great without really seeming to try. Of course she also apparently has no business ethics or regard for the law but that's a whole other story... As the days are getting...
Making an effort with the Fly Lady approach
I'm having an interesting day. Feeling kinda emotional and overwhelmed with stuff...homemaker stuff. So I just signed up to the FlyLady.com mails in hopes that their baby steps system will help me find some sort of routine that I can follow and enjoy. There is clutter...
