Endurance for the “In-Between”

05/15/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends!! We have been working on so many projects around our house lately. And while it’s fun to see the progress, I can’t wait to share them with you, I find there is something else on my heart today that I want to share instead. So many thoughts swirling in my head, and weighing heavy on my heart as we come to the end of yet another week, still in uncertain times. It was exactly 2 months ago to date that our kids started distance learning, and what began as weeks, has now turned into months. As the “Stay-at-Home” orders begin to lift, I find so many questions are still up in the air. So today, I’m sharing some of my thoughts on where we are at, and what to do as we begin to come out of all of this.

5 Ways to Refresh for Mom

05/09/2020 By Bre

Happy weekend friends! Mother’s Day is tomorrow, can you believe it, and as I type this there is currently snow falling as I look outside our dining room window. Not quite the Mother’s Day weather I was hoping for, especially since I ask for plants every year for Mother’s Day, and love to do some gardening, but thankfully it will melt fast. With it being Mother’s Day this weekend, I wanted to share 5 ways to refresh as a mom, because I think now more than ever, we all are in need of a little pampering.

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!

Currently Loving {vol. 4}

04/11/2020 By Bre

Hello friends! Happy Saturday! I hope your week has been well, and even though everyday can tend to feel like the weekend right now, I hope you are doing something that makes today feel a little special. Maybe it’s making pancakes for breakfast (that’s what we are doing), or going for an extra long walk! Whatever it is, I hope you are being refreshed in this current season of “staying home” that we are in. Today I’m sharing what currently has me swooning, and perhaps it will have you swooning too.

My Favorite Painting App

03/30/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends!! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! We had a wonderful rainy Sunday, and even though we’ve been home all week, it felt like just the lazy day our souls needed. We lounged on the couch, watched movies, played games together as a family, and just spent time resting together. During one of those lazy lounge sessions on our couch I opened up an app I’ve actually had for a few years now, but found myself completely content within seconds as I started transforming some of my favorite photos into watercolor paintings! So in case you are in the mood for a little watercolor therapy, grab your paint brush … or ummm .. your phone, and check out my favorite painting app!

5 Things I’m doing Right Now during Social Distancing

03/26/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends! Today I’m pretending like you and I are sitting down with a cup of coffee. I’d say on my couch in my living room, but since we are all supposed to be social distancing right now I’m thinking that would be considered taboo? So we are just going to have a virtual cup of coffee together instead, and I’m going to imagine we are chatting just like I would be with my closest gal-pal about all the struggles of being home right now, and what I’m doing to stay sane. I came up with 5 things I’m doing right now during social distancing, and hope this helps you as well!

Staying Thankful even in the Unknown

03/21/2020 By Bre

Hello Friends! It’s been quite a whirlwind watching the news unfold over this last week. The headlines have been anything if not shocking about the covid-19 virus, an easy opportunity for fear to creep in with so many unknown facts about what the coming weeks could look like for all of us. I know that I never talk about politics or what’s going on in the news, and this is in no way a post about my thoughts on all that is going, but rather my efforts to stay thankful in a time of uncertainty.

If you could use a little hope & encouragement right now, than this is for you~

Coffee With Bre

01/31/2020 By Bre

Did you know I have a FaceBook group? You may have already known this, in fact some of you are in the group, but as this little private group grows into a community, I can’t help but think of one thing – YOU! So today I want to tell you about “Coffee with Bre”.

We Each have our Own Gifts

10/27/2019 By Bre

Happy Sunday friends!! I’m just popping in, as we wrap the weekend up to share a little bit of a personal story. I love sharing bits about our home, and projects we might be working on, and of course my love for interior design, but I also love being able to connect with you on a more personal level. And even though we aren’t sitting face to face, in cozy chairs with a warm cup of coffee nestled between our hands, my heart is always to provide encouragement as well. I shared a bit in my IG stories last week, and I got so many messages back saying how much it resonated with people, that I wanted to share it here. So today I’m sharing a bit of a personal story.
