Keeping your trusty, hardworking jeans in tip-top shape is key to looking and feeling confident. I wear jeans almost every day of my life and have quite high expectations for them (poor things!). With all of the information available out there, it can be overwhelming. Yes, I aspire to be affluent in all things laundry, …
I recently got in trouble for neglecting my garden. I say “in trouble”, but really it was my husband’s disappointment in me letting another project and dream slip through my fingers. I am a textbook procrastinator and a dreamer. These two characteristics stir up a recipe for disaster when it comes to accomplishing things. I …
In April, I had quite an eventful birthday celebration. My dear husband took me to one of my favorite restaurants on a warm windy evening. Reservations for 7:00, a new dress, sandals, curls, makeup. We had just hopped in the car and headed down the road with the windows down and radio blasting our country …
When I got married almost 8 years ago, I never thought I would be bundling up my baby girl in the cold to go run water for the “Three Queens” (my husband’s name for the 3 heifers we have on our property).

This is the aftermath of my husband and I’s first annual self-hosted Christmas brunch. Every year we typically do three christmases in one day, making it difficult to truly enjoy the holiday. Since this was also Baylee’s first Christmas, we thought it would be fun to combine two of these Christmases into one – at our …
I don’t know about you, but my days are crazy. A typical work day for me looks a bit like this: 6:00 am – Wake up and take shower 6:15 am – Wake baby up and get us both ready 7:00 am – Drop baby off at Nana’s (only a day or two a week) or trade …
I love the concept of making my own baby food – I just have a couple of pointers: Unless you have a serious food processor-type pulverizing device, DON’T try spinach or green beans.
