15 Must Have Gardening Tools
It's the most wonderful time of the year...Spring! Since I have been doing all sorts of prep work in the muddy outdoors and have nothing blog worth to show for it, I thought I would re-share my post about my favorite gardening tools. Whether you are a seasoned gardener,or just starting out, these 15 must have gardening tools are sure to up your gardening game! I do not like to wear gloves when gardening. I like to feel the dirt between my fingers! But there are times, like when working with prickly raspberries, when I need to protect my hands. I prefer leather work gloves. I already talked about how I keep a gardening journal in my post about gardening planning … {READ MORE}
Life Lately
Spring is always such a busy time! Not only with work, but with life in general. Kid's concerts, taxes, yard work (finally!), end of term projects, etc. I thought I would pop on here and give you an update on what has been going on around here and the upcoming projects you will find here on the blog in the upcoming weeks. First off, we haven't started the flooring project in the kitchen because the sink started leaking again in the same spot. I think it is time to call in the professionals to see if there are better products to use or a different way to configure the pipes. I am at a loss as to why it keeps happening. It seems so simple and yet...drip, drip. We … {READ MORE}
Outdoor Movie Theater Seats
Now that it is warming up, I am dreaming of having outdoor movies again. I'm resharing this past project with you today because these outdoor movie theater seats are one of my favorites! As kids we used to run an extension cord outside and take a small TV/VCR combo outside to watch movies in the backyard. I thought now that I am an adult and have a house of my own, that I could do a little better than that. So we got a projector screen to go with the projector we got a few years ago. All I needed now was some seating. These DIY Outdoor Movie Theater Seats are easy to make and comfortable to sit on! Since I was making four ( and I love them so much I might make even … {READ MORE}
Freshening Up Your Home {Don’t Sweat Your Pet}
This post is sponsored by Febreze but all ideas, opinions, and cute dogs named Kevin are all mine :) I love spring! Spring is a time of renewal. I like to take some time to deep clean and freshen up my house before all my attention gets turned to outdoor projects. Spring cleaning isn't just about wiping away the dust, but it also about odor control. Since I live with 5 guys and a dog, I know a thing or two about odor! I will squirt, scrub, burn, diffuse, and spray whatever I need to keep my house from smelling like feet. My favorite thing to use is Febreze! It makes my house smell like fresh laundry and who doesn't love fresh laundry? So let's chat about freshening up your home when you … {READ MORE}
15 Perennial Flowers That Are Easy To Grow
Spring is here! Or at least it is right around the corner. Utah can't seem to decide. Soon we will all be outside preparing and planting our flowerbeds. Before you run to the nursery, I thought I would share my favorite perennials. Perennials are plants that come back every year. Here are 15 perennials that are easy to grow! Salvia I love these purple spikes! They are one of the first plants to flower in my beds after the tulips have faded. This perennial does well in hot and dry places and prefers the sun. It will also tolerate part sun. It attracts butterflies and bees and will grow 1-2 feet tall. Peony Peonies are a favorite of mine for many reasons. They smell amazing … {READ MORE}
Fireplace Makeover {Giveaway!}
Phase one of my sister's basement is pretty close to being done and she will be ready to move things down there soon. Her basement being finished is what sparked all these projects at her house. Today I am sharing her fireplace makeover I finished up this week. Her dining, family room and kitchen are all one big space so when I painted her kitchen cabinets and refinished her dining room table, it made sense to spruce up the living area as well. This project was sponsored by HomeRight. Her fireplace was pretty standard builder's grade and pretty boring. It was made of the same wood as her cabinets and I went through the same process the prep and to paint it. I love the color we chose and … {READ MORE}
Raising Backyard Chickens
This post is from a few years ago but since I get asked about our chickens a lot, and because it is that time of year when baby chicks are showing up in feed stores, I thought we should revisit this topic. We love raising backyard chickens! We have since added a couple of bunnies to the mix and they do really well in the coop with the birds. The have burrowed under the hay and sleep there. Since we can't live on an actual farm, this is as close as we can get :) Why chickens? Well, it is pretty simple. I grew up in the country. We had horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks. We also had an occasional other farm animal if I batted my eyes at my dad and pleaded while doing a … {READ MORE}
Crushing On: Space Saving Furniture
Space saving, multifunctional, or transforming. Whatever you choose to call these pieces of furniture that hide secrets, save space, or are used for more than one thing, I am a huge fan. I live in a cute little house with 5 other people and a dog. We need all the help we can get to make the most of our small space. These are some of my favorite space saving furniture ideas! I realized as I was putting this post together that I have never shared with you the photos of the secrets my fireplace holds. When I built it years ago, I had intended to post a tutorial on how I built it but never got around to it. The sides slide out and hold DVDs while the front panel opens to reveal the … {READ MORE}

I have really loved doing this series over the past year. I have one more blogger to share with you. She is as talented as she is sweet.
