Week 3, halfway through the challenge and I think we’re doing well so far. You can catch up here on week 1 and week 2. I’ve been without a toilet for over 2 weeks now and thankfully, I can pee in my own bathroom again. I know, first word problem but seriously, marching down the hall trying not […]
ORC – Week 2 Master Bathroom Makeover
Welcome to week 2 of the ORC! It’s been a productive week here, including ripping out the tile and scraping off the popcorn ceiling. And on a side note, thank goodness for Minnesota winters and neighbors who let us use their ice scraper driveway thingy so that the hubby could get up the wire/thinset cement stuff off […]

Getting Healthy Part 2
A little over a month ago I posted about my health, including going Gluten Free and exercising more. I thought I’d share a little update on here as I’ve had people asking questions about gluten free, thyroid, etc. First off, if you are wondering if you have hypothyroidism, you can check out this list here […]
Thoughts on For the Love & Community
So let me start by saying this because it’s important to be honest, I didn’t love Jen Hatmaker until recently. I know, scandalous. Back in 2004 I did one of her first bible studies for women and I didn’t love it. Then I was going to read Seven and I just didn’t do it because […]

Seasons of Motherhood
Lately I’ve really noticed that we’ve moved into a different stage of life and I think we’ve been here for a while but don’t want to admit it because that means we are all getting older. We are no longer the couple in their late 20’s/early 30’s with small children at home, filled with busy […]
Master Bathroom in need of a makeover
So last fall the Master bedroom got a sexy makeover which we still love and are so glad we did! Beyond the bedroom, the master bathroom didn’t get anything done to it, all I have accomplished in this bathroom is painting the walls and vanity. Apparently I am a slacker because back in 2012 I posted about doing […]
