TweetThrough the magic of blog makeover reveals it may seem like I can get a lot of things done fairly quickly. But sometimes a room can take me quite literally months to pull together. That’s the case with my master bedroom. There was a lot of little furniture projects I had to do to pull … [Read more…]
TweetSo here’s the scoop on what’s been happening in my little world the last couple weeks. I’ve built more in the last 2 weeks than I have in months! As the name of the title implies – yes it includes a coop (no not a mini coop car unfortunately but a chicken coop which … [Read more…]
TweetI think I have a new motivational quote. When life hands you fallen trees, make a campfire.

TweetA couple nights ago my two year old had a rough bed time – we both did. He was being plain old naughty and I was frustrated and tired. It was an epic battle and after he finally gave in, he fell asleep holding my hand. I decided to sit a few minutes to make sure he … [Read more…]

Another thing I do in excess … [Read more…]
