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...
1001st post…of course it’s a rant
Whenever an election rolls around, I am quite happy to be living in a foreign country. I don't have to be overwhelmed with the political mudslinging and the endless number of commercials about what horrible thing this or that candidate has done. But this year, it...
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...
Here’s barking at you, pup
Hello my doggie friends, Long time no bark! I've been oh so busy lately, enjoying the cool fall air and intimidating little dogs. And I am in heat again which always makes me a more interesting pup (or so my parents find.) I generally get a lot more antsy and active,...
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...
My coffee maker is possessed
When we moved into our house two years ago (WOW!), my in-laws bought us me a lovely new coffee maker. It's a fairly basic machine, which suits me fine because I don't drink coffee that often (even less so now that I'm pregnant because even decaf seems to give me...
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...
It all starts with a sink…
Ok, my hormone spike seems to have passed...and I have officially started on the first of the 31 day program from FlyLady. Wow, I kinda feel like a recovering alcoholic or something. 😉 I mentioned it before but the first step is to shine your sink...and keep it empty...
