Buy Yourself a Boquet
It’s been busy here at our house! Our garage remodel is coming along and we’ve been busy preparing for winter. I was able to get out for a short walk in a state park last week and I’ll do a longer post on that soon, but I mostly just wanted to share some pictures today. […]

Homestead Eggs
I love moving to a new place. It’s always exciting to explore the area and hunt down new favorite places. I’ve wanted fresh eggs for some time, though, and it’s been harder to find them. For one, I am not a big fan of social media and for two, a lot of people in my […]

Flexibility: The Key to Success
We’re tackling the last big project for the year and it’s a doozy. Our garage is an addition and was added under a permit for a deck. Whoever built it didn’t do it to spec, which means that remodeling it has been interesting. As it’s where there was a bat infestation and a leaking roof, […]
