Where have I been? I've been here...just building a deck. This was a long process. Jesse and I only have Sundays to work on house projects, and then maybe are able to squeeze in an evening now and then. And during the week, I only have 2 days of nap time. So this deck building … Continue reading {Our Deck} It’s been a long 3 months!

The Spring Going-ons
Last week Apartment Therapy did a post on DIY concrete counter tops. I saw the article, and embarrassingly enough I glanced at it a few times when it would pop up in by FB feed, and on the third day I saw this: That's right, do you see the little mini tile on the lower … Continue reading The Spring Going-ons
{Kitchen} Cabinet Colors and Off Topic Fencing
You can scroll through my ramblings and photos - but I need advice at the end! A few years ago this was my dream kitchen inspiration. And this is where I am now: I'm still very much in love with my original inspiration, along with these: {the marion house book} {house and home} {house and … Continue reading {Kitchen} Cabinet Colors and Off Topic Fencing
Front Yard Progress
I started back at work last week. It's part time, so I can't complain, but even part time, I feel like I am not able to get much done. My days are spent playing catch-up. Before maternity leave I never would have believed how much time I could spend cleaning and organizing, and yet never … Continue reading Front Yard Progress

I was a little in shock second guessing what we were getting ourselves into.Luckily though by … Continue reading The New Siding is Finished!!
New Siding is on it’s way!
I mentioned in my last post that we had a contractor coming by the house...We are residing! Originally I was hoping to reposition the windows AND reside, but it was going to be twice the amount...plus we have to have the house painted on top of that, so instead I am hoping to improve the … Continue reading New Siding is on it’s way!

A Growing Vegetable Garden
After building our new monster garden bed (at least I thought it was monster size until our vegetables started spilling over the edges) I couldn't wait to get my starts planted. I spent months with my little seeds all lined up under a grow light in the garage, and with the delay of summer they … Continue reading A Growing Vegetable Garden
{Better Remade} flagstone walkway
Since we moved in we have been unhappy with our front walkway. The owners threw down flagstone pavers on top of loose gravel right before the house went on the market, and since then the grass has completely taken over. The worst part was that when wearing heels I had to be very cautious to … Continue reading {Better Remade} flagstone walkway
Progress on the front yard
Quick recap...Here is our front yard when we bought the house When we purchased the house a few years ago there were little garden beds in the front of the house. It's not the prettiest view, but you can see the trees that run along the fence. They basically prevented anything from growing. We waited … Continue reading Progress on the front yard
