So today I did many things. Like lots and lots! I slept until the sun woke me up instead of the alarm. I dug up the old tire that previous tenants thought was a great idea to use as a flowerbed ornament. (Really, guys?) Weeded the flower bed and spread nice fresh mulch. The patio [...]
Hi! I hope you’re having a great Saturday! I’m recovering from a little case of food coma and I just realized that I was too busy baking pies and getting ready for a little BBQ we had with friends today and I completely forgot to post yesterday’s Thrifty Friday Post! During the month of July I’ll [...]
My plan for today was to tidy the house and then do a proper spring cleaning: organize drawers, wash walls and all that sort of thing. Instead we went adventuring. It’s turned into a much more fun Saturday! Now it’s time for coffee in the sunshine and I’ve been finding lots of other diversions, like [...]
I’ve been doing a thorough fall cleaning (I skipped the spring cleaning this year) all day. Exciting things like washing walls, cleaning curtains and shampooing carpets, I’ve done it all! It feels wonderful to have the house extra-special clean! And after the little run in I had with some hornets (how the little devils got through [...]
I got so many little things done around the house today! Things I had been putting off like going through the closets and drawers and sorting out clothes into keep and donate piles. There may or may not have been things still hanging around from my high school days. Yeah, who am I kidding! There [...]
Lots to do today! Starting with washing a certain pup. All the snow is melting and we have a ton of muddy pawprints and paws running around! Laundry to do and the kitchen to clean. (I LOVE this kitchen!)
I love this photo, so calm and lovely! We (okay, Joel did most of the work) tore out our old, oddly yellow-ish counter tops last night and our new ones are being installed right now! I’m so excited! This is the last major project in the kitchen. I love, love our kitchen, the wall color, [...]
The weather is so amazing today! I got outside and spray painted our porch swing. Now it’s a much more stylish black. While I was doing that, Cors rolled around in the ever-growing grass and watched bumblebees. Must have been a workout because now he is napping in the sunshine. Joel’s working on a website that he wants [...]
Oh my goodness! What a crazy week! Joel’s parents and sister came out to help with some major house renovation projects. Thanks to their hard work, we got so many things done. It’s so exciting to see progress! Who knew that our poor, mistreated house had so much charming potential? Joel has a few photos [...]
