Hey y’all! Welcome to my blog detailing unique and fun projects that my husband, Jimmy and I are taking on around our little log cabin. We’d love for you to follow us along on this adventure.
Fur Baby Hacks 101.
At Home Care for Dogs: We never knew what it was like to have a dog who routinely experienced vomiting, excessive diarrhea, or skin/ear irritations until we officially adopted Winston. Cleo has had issues with her stomach, skin, cutting her paw open, but nothing compares to Winston’s roller coaster of chaos. If you know Winston’s…
No time for a dog? Try a Houseplant.
We recently jumped on board with adding house plants to our chaotic tribe. Now that we are finished installing floors, sanding our island/table/chairs, and adding new furniture; we feel safe with bringing plants into the home. We are starting off with a few green babies before making room and budgeting for friends of a larger…
Set S.A.I.L for Awareness.
April is Autism Awareness Month. In April we unite to celebrate the beauty, complexity, diversity, of the Autism Spectrum Disorder. Individuals with Autism may perceive the world differently, but it is time that we understand their thoughts. We raise awareness, because their thoughts bring forth depth, meaning, circumstance, change, perspective and need to be known….
Building A Vital Space.
FRAMEWORK: DIY RAISED VEGETABLE GARDEN. Our latest project was creating a raised garden bed as a new home for our veggies and herbs. Last summer I planted veggies and herbs in pots and along the ground; however, Jimmy refused to eat or cook with any of them, because they were in the “danger zone” of…

Why You Need It.
Letting loose. To my runners who constantly hear: OMG, you’re insane. Why do you put yourself through that? Just think about your knees when you are my age. You are just so afraid of gaining weight. The list goes on and on whenever people find out that I run or attend a class at the…
Veggies+Carbs=Soul Filler.
I know it is hard to believe, BUT from time to time I, myself like to create dishes in the kitchen. Recently, we endured another nasty day of sleet and snow so I decided to fight the chaos of Harris Teeter, grab different ingredients, and just go for it. This is a rather quick dish……
No Weed About It.
They creep. They crawl. They emerge with a mission to conquer. March is the time to battle. The on-going battle begins with these nuisance creatures that want to own and devour the nutrients of your yard/garden. The frost may come and your blooms may wither, but not the weeds. They continue to grow and spread…
Bringing Purpose Back To The Table.
Repurposing a Farmhouse Table. Recently Jimmy and I found a post online advertising a solid wood table for sale. This table happened to catch our eye, because 1) our limited space requires a smaller table..this table seats four, but can adjust to six 2) solid Oak wood. Originally Jimmy and I discussed building a farmhouse…
