Planting Seeds of Hope

10/10/2020 By Bre

I did something this week, that I’ve never done before. Now I realize to my young 36 year old self that isn’t highly unlikely, but you see I’m a creature of habit. A risk taker I am not. I like to stay inside my perfectly drawn lines I’ve made for my life, and I stick to them. My days are routine, for the most part. I know what I expect. Sure I may get adventurous every now and then, but if I’m really being honest with myself, I can’t remember the last time I did something last minute or spontaneous. No I like consistency. I like to know what to expect and plan for what’s coming. All good qualities I assure you, but my friends quickly find out, I’m not the person to call for a last minute invite.

New Gravel Patio

We did it friends!! I’m so excited to share this project with you today. I get so many questions on how we installed the gravel patio around our fire pit area, that I wanted to share how we installed our new gravel patio area next to the house. I took a ton of photos along the way – so beware! This post is photo heavy, but sometimes it’s easier to let the photos do the talking, and I included a full budget breakout below. So here we go!

Chicken Keeping | 101

05/07/2020 By Bre

Have you ever thought about owning chickens? Wondered what went in to keeping chickens, and what it was like having them? I know I haven’t shared a whole lot about our chickens here on the blog, but I’ve been receiving a lot of questions lately so I wanted to answer those questions, and maybe in the process answer a questions you’ve had as well. Full Disclaimer – I am no chicken expert, which is probably why I haven’t shared much in the past, but we have had our chickens now for four years, and have definitely learned a lot!

DIY Fall Planter

09/28/2019 By Bre

Hello Friends! Today I’m sharing a super easy way to create a fall planter. I never really did anything with my planters for fall up until a few years ago. Thinking the season was over, and they would just die, I didn’t see the point. Now I love coming up with ideas to add some color to the outside of our home until a fresh blanket of white snow shows up. This year I focused on things that I could replant in the spring, for an added win! Come and check it out ~
