Big Dreams, Little Ranch
Good Morning! Today is an exciting day for me. I am taking the first step in making a really huge dream become reality. Several months ago, while I was processing the fact that I would be single and needing to make a living, my little sister called me. She said she had an idea for…

Just Saying Hello
So, Here we are! All of us sitting at home becoming stir crazy! I’ve really had a great time watching everyone’s Instagram stories over the last several days. I feel like the majority of the world is losing their minds- in the best way we could possibly do it. I actually haven’t laughed this hard…

Christmas 2018
Hello! How excited are you for the Christmas holidays? I’m so excited, I can barely stand it! I have no idea why, because we don’t have any company coming this year, and Steve works Christmas morning, evening and New Year’s Eve, and day. I think it may be because we don’t have a house that…

Project- Kitchen Wood Feature Wall
Hello! Today’s project is the wood wall in my kitchen. I wanted to show you how I completed the wall above the tile. What better way than to just start in on the pictures! This is what the wall has looked like for the last year and then some. I really wanted to put wood…

Project- Kitchen Backsplash
Last week I finally started finishing up the kitchen! Yay!! First up, the tiled backsplash. Ok, seriously you guys, can you believe that photo was what my kitchen used to look like!? I had to use it because it’s amazing! I’ve had what my younger sister refers to as “prison walls”, in the kitchen for over…

Winston Pancakes
Several months ago, my daughter Alix bought a bunny. She named him Winston Pancakes and set him up in a cage in her little house and began her life with her first ever pet. Well, it turns out that bunnies are playful at 4 am and like to crawl into small spaces and chew on…

Christmas Day 2016
Christmas Morning my husband and I woke up pretty early to make sure we had time to put chains on the beetle. We needed to drive to Reno so my husband could fly home in time for his midnight shift. Working on Christmas and other holidays are and have always been the norm for us.…

Little Kitchen Nook
For the last two weeks I’ve done very little on the house. I decorated for Christmas and that really helped me feel like I was at home. We had a big Birthday party for Emma, and Steve was home for a few days. I can’t lie, it’s been nice doing very little. Everyday I try to…

Just Around the Corner!
Today is one of those days. I see it! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I just counted 76 boxes. That’s right 76 boxes until I don’t have anymore boxes to unpack! Things are looking like a house in here, and I cannot wait to start posting some before and afters…

I Have a Plan!
Good Morning! Yesterday I wrote to you and told you how at the end of my rope I am! Well, after a good night’s sleep I’ve made a plan. I’m going to move in! When I first decided to move into the house my plan was to paint each cupboard, cabinet, and closet before I…

Dreams: Nobody Said it Would Be Easy
This week has really been a struggle for me. I feel like all the work and all the moving and all the being responsible is really getting to me. I need something and I don’t even know what it is. Monday, Emma started public school again after being homeschooled by me for the last three…

Four Week Catch Up at the Ranch!
So, I guess moving your whole life to a different state can be a lot of work! I say that as if I didn’t know it would be. Over the last four weeks, I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had the energy to blog. I still don’t have the energy, but need to bite the…
