One of the things I disliked about our home is the red brick and red roof. Red is just not my thing. Especially since the brick is only on the front and doesn’t match the rest of the house. I’ve always imagined painting the the brick white…but it seemed silly because it would probably look …
Arbor Day! The day you plant a tree right? Do you know where Arbor Day originated from or why it’s so important? Neither did I so I did a little research to learn more about this day as well as best practices and things to consider when planting your own tree in your yard. I …
I started my first small business when I was 13. I made hair scrunchies and would sell them to kids at school and at my small town craft fair. When you’re 13 and making $300 at a craft fair selling something you made yourself, it’s really exciting. It’s also fosters the feeling that you want …

Every year we head out to our local Christmas Tree Farm and choose a tree. In the beginning we would get one that was too big, or had really sharp needles or ones with gaping holes. I kind of think I am little bit of an expert now…and I want to share tips with you! …
This summer was the year we were going to start tackling our yard and landscaping. Since being here for 6 years we have mostly worked inside the house but it was time to get the outside in shape too. One project at a time. One of the areas that just bothers me is a set …
