Well, I don’t have a lot to update on this week. We did manage to finish staining the deck last Friday. My man took the afternoon off from work as we had a small window in which to stain before it rained, again and again, oh and then again. Ruby’s pretty excited to be […]
Getting Healthy Part 3

ORC Week 3 – Outdoor Oasis
Well friends, the weather in Minnesota this past weekend was so amazing! Sunny with temps in the 70’s made it the perfect weekend to stain the deck. Between the two of us, we managed to get two coats of stain on all the railing and even some on the aluminum spindles, womp womp. I’m hoping […]

The Powder Room
It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of the spaces in our home with you so today I thought I’d share our powder room. This was the last time I shared photos of the space, in the fall of 2011 when I did a wild black and white zebra stencil. We made some minor […]
Taco Lasagna (Gluten Free)
Hi friends, Today I’m sharing a favorite recipe for our family. Since being gluten-free this past fall, I have had a hard time finding recipes for me and my family. Most of the time it’s me eating salad or rice/beans while they have a dinner that they enjoy. Gluten free noodles are available at Target, […]
Gray Kitchen Inspiration
It all started innocently enough. I was browsing pinterest when this pin from HGTV popped up in my feed. As soon as I saw it, I wanted my cabinets to be a dark gray even though I just painted them white not more than a year and half ago. So while I contemplate if I want […]
The Blooming Hydrangea blooms again
Hi friends, Spring is coming, I can just sense it in the air, can you? At one point in my life, Spring to me was just a muddy, brown, rainy season of transition that was in between winter and summer. Honestly, it was my least favorite season, just something to endure to get to summer. […]
No Spend February The End Results
Well friends, tomorrow is the end of NO Spend February and let’s just say, we are not going to finish strong. I’ve already been to the store no less than 3 times this week. Seriously. Kids and food are going to be the death of me or the budget, maybe both? I think our […]
