Trying to decide which project to work on next is the hardest part of my life right now. The house still looks like a tornado came through and I can’t even really clean it up until we get the paint on the walls. The barn looks equally as bad and I need to get the … Read morewhat we did this week 9/15/19
We finally had some time this week to work more with the horses. They are trusting us more and not as reluctant to being handled. Snowflake is one of my favorites because he is a gentle walker. He’s a pain to get a halter on, but once it’s on he’s pretty good. The girls think … Read morewhat we did this week 9/8/19
I have been trying for 3 days to get this posted, but something always comes up. The electric fence isn’t working very well right now, which meant the wild half of the horses escaped. Not once, but twice! Thankfully they stay in our yard, but trying to get them back into their corral in the … Read morewhat we did this week 9/1/19
Birdhouses and bikes, what more could a little girl want? When big sis first saw the bird feeder in the front tree, she instantly wanted to paint it. I thought no big deal, we’ll pick up some paint and some birdseed next time we go to the store. The bird feeder is pretty cool after … Read morebirdhouses and bikes
We finally made it to our new house. Phew! The girls were so excited to get out of the car. Two days worth of non-stop driving was tough on all of us. So much coffee for me, and so many snacks and potty stops for them. After what seemed like forever, I saw our house … Read moremeet the farm
It’s official, we are moving! Finding a piece of land has been one of our family goals for a while now. Colorado was ideal, but let’s be honest, we don’t have millions of dollars…not even close. So, we’ve decided to venture out of the state and try something different for a while. The full responsibility … Read morewe are moving
Stainless steel pendants have officially replaced the old heavy stone pendants. Hooray for no more knock outs with 5lb. light covers! The house happened to come complete with these lovely stone like pendants over the kitchen prep area. I didn’t want to take them out completely because I liked the extra lights, but one of … Read morestainless steel pendants
The dining room is finally finished!! I think. We finally got around to hanging up the dining room chandelier. The room has been mostly complete for a while now, but I just haven’t been happy with the decorations or the light fixture. Nothing seemed to balance the awkward cabinet that covers the a/c unit and … Read moredining room chandelier
Installing a raised planter was a quick way to make a little improvement in our yard, while we began the very SLOW process of planting grass. When we first bought the house, the previous owner did have one wanna-be rosebush in an almost planter. Almost…see? Who doesn’t want a puny rosebush surrounded by laminate flooring? … Read moreraised planter
Watch your step and hopefully don’t trip on the uneven floor. One of the most tedious, yet necessary projects we are so incredibly glad to have done, is leveling the entryway. The first time we saw this house everyone tripped. The second time we heard “watch your step” over and over again. Without a constant … Read morewatch your step
