Ok, so to be honest I am not a super experienced gardener. Our last home where we had a garden was several years ago (which wasn’t very big and my mom helped with it most of the time) and the garden we have now is still being established (this will be our third year in…
Do you ever get tired of having piles of bread and buns and tortillas and things like that scattered all over your kitchen? Are you looking for an easy, pretty and simple DIY for your kitchen that can be done in an evening or two? Hey! How are you guys? I’m doing great. We’ve been…
Hi there! It has been awhile since I’ve done a homestead update and since I took some pictures around the place this morning I figured I may as well share with all you. I love our ducks, they are so cute! Unfortunately we lost one (we believe to a large predator bird) and I was…
Just thought I’d do a little December recap of our family happenings around Christmas. Above you can see we are in our holiday best 😉 At the beginning of the month my youngest two tested for their next belt level in Tae kwon do and they both passed! Gabe got his gold belt… and Cadence…

One room I haven’t really shared in the almost two years we’ve been here is our dining room and what I have done so far to update/personalize it to our taste. Ok so these first two pics are of our “before” which is actually on move-in-day The picture above isn’t much of the actual dining…
