A Time For Change
Today I’m going to hit you with a lot of information, so sit down and buckle up because I’m going to run through this like a bullet. And frankly, I feel like my life has gone through me like that same bullet. Funny, as you go through life, it seems normal until you step back…

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…

I’m Building a Ship
Today I was reminded of a blog post I shared from David DuChemin. He is one of my favorite photographer/writers. His blog and Facebook pages are full of inspiration and motivation. I have a couple of his books, I’m a fan. Anyway, I reposted a blog entry he wrote about building your own ship. Your…

Inspiration Saturday 03/12/16
Today’s space of inspiration is the Master Bedroom. As I was putting together the post for today, two things happened. One, I could not believe how much it’s changed since we started taking it apart, and two, I realized I don’t really know what I want to do in this space. Here is what the…

Let it Snow!
Last Month, Emma and I stayed at the ranch house in Gardnerville. Steve was able to drive up a couple of times, and Alix came up for Thanksgiving. We had a really productive visit, which I’m super excited to share with you in some upcoming posts. However, the best part of our visit was the snow! It…

Carpet’s Dirty Little Secret
When we bought our ranch, we originally wanted to have all wood floors in the house. We intended on using area rugs to warm up the rooms. Then we moved into our rental which has all woods floors and zero carpet. We haven’t bought any rugs for the place because I’d rather not spend the…

Inspiration Saturday 10/24/15
Just the other day I was thinking about design. I was thinking about those people who have said to me they’re “just not creative.” I had a girlfriend last week who told me she just can’t think of ideas for decorating her house. I’ve also watched my own husband struggle with imagining what our new…

I’m Going to be a Farmer!
The ranch we own is 10 acres. Five of those acres are alfalfa hay. Due to the fact no one has been living at the property full time for many years, our next door neighbor has been maintaining the pasture. He is a career farmer and as a favor he’s been mowing down the field…
