Although summer is my favorite season, and I’m super sad to see it start to wind down *tears*, I also really love the end of every season. It allows us a second to reflect and think about the last season. As I have started to reflect on this summer, I realized that there were 5…
There are many things that feel very “farm-life” to me. They include my animals, fresh flowers, fresh produce, open spaces and vintage farm stand signs. When you look at any painting of a farm, you will almost always see a little sign that reads “corn” or “goats” or “berries”. As I looked around my budding…
There is nothing better in the summer than a nice fresh, juicy peach. There used to be a man who sat in front of our Rural King and would sell bushels of fresh peaches in the summer, and to me, that was when I always knew Summer was here:) I would often times buy too…
If there was an award for The Most Popular Room, it would definitely go to my kitchen. Ever since I remodeled it, friends and followers alike have not stopped asking me questions about how I did it (check out my DIY guide for painting kitchen cabinets here), what inspired me, and how I continue to…

Though I love different things about each season and its holidays, Christmas definitely takes the *fruit* cake;) Despite the often self imposed stress of the holiday, it’s the one holiday where everyone gets…
Anybody else get the Summertime Burnout? I get it hardcore!! I use to especially get it when my kids were little. We would be so ready for school to get out that when June 1 hit, we would sprint! We were off to playing at the pool, making slip-n-slides every day, going to Little League…
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say. it again, I LOVE the relationships I’ve formed on Instagram!!! I have met some of the sweetest ladies from all over the world that I would have never have met otherwise!! Technology is cool sometimes:) Today, I want to introduce 7 of those ladies (and their blogs) to…
As many of you know, last week my hubby and I took a junkin trip!!! We drove around the midwest hitting up my favorite honey holes in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. This junkin’ gal’s literal dream vacation!! (My husband was also recently badly hurt in a work accident, so this was also perfect for him….
