I am forever grateful for the my mother and the many mother figures in my life. I have been blessed to have the best of women around me. I hope I have learned the lessons they have tried to teach me, by word and by example. I wish that every day I appreciated more the …
Last week we made our way out into the yard! Last spring, when we moved into our home, we added the concrete patio, fence, sprinklers, grass, four trees, and rock in the backyard, and a railing around the front porch in the front. This year, we are hoping to fill in with some LIFE! We …
We are definitely not anything close to full time DIYers! So when I say “week” I mean a couple days, constantly interrupted, during Mark’s week off of work. We aren’t going to be accomplishing anything in record time! So our DIY process is going to be L O N G but we are really enjoying …
