This past week we cranked out a lot! Last Thursday evening we got started shiplapping the fireplace and I was so happy to finally see some major progress. We finished up the fireplace Friday night. Alex built the beams and mantel while I was working on Saturday. The cabinet doors were at a standstill partially […]
ORC Week 4 – jack crap
That’s about what we accomplished this past week. I had high hopes that we would have the shiplap on the fireplace by Saturday night and the cabinet doors all sprayed and drying in the garage. Instead my hubby had to cut a new hole in the siding, move the venting for the fireplace up and […]
Week 3 ORC – The Takedown
April in Minnesota. One day it’s 70 degrees, the next you have a snow day. Which was great for me, as I decided to take off the fireplace surround and tile. And also paint the bottom cabinets. All in a days work my friends. The Surround came off all in once piece very easily. I […]
Spring 2019 ORC 2 – Ceilings are a pain in the neck
Welcome back! It’s been a hot week and we’ve accomplished nothing. Unless you count driving to all the tile stores to find fireplace stone. We did work on our ceiling a few weeks ago when we knew that our time during this 6 weeks would be short due to kids sports out of town almost […]

2019 Word of the Year
Happy New Year Friends! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas season. It always seems to go by so quickly. We enjoyed almost two weeks off and it was so good for our family. I actually didn’t do much which is weird for me but again, I think it was just what I needed […]
2018 – year in Review

Is this thing on?!? 2019 Home Goals
The last time I blogged was the beginning of January! Ugh. Well, if anyone is still around, I am hoping to hit up 2019 with some fun new projects in our home. We didn’t do a lot this year because well, time and money. For some reason this year was super busy with kids activities, […]
Year in Review Home Goals 2017
It’s time to reflect back on 2017 and all that we did and did not accomplish in our home this year. I did not do a Home Goals blog post for 2017 and I really wish I would have. If I would have, it was this, figure out a way to use my home to […]
My Word for The Year
Happy New Year friends! I can’t believe it’s only been 5 days since New Years, feels like it was weeks ago. December was such a weird month for us this year that I don’t feel like we even had Christmas. We spent Christmas in Texas this year on the beach with some dear friends. A […]
