I am not a “fancy” kind of gal. What that means, is dressing up takes about 8 minutes longer than not dressing up does. I am low maintenance in a big, big way. I have a simple hair cut, and […]
I have three kids (yes, 1,2,3) and our home is filled with laughter, tears and a constant stream of emotion (thanks girls) and chaos (oh, little boys) It feels like we are spending every moment of …
We had a lot to learn when we moved rural. A lot! We had to learn the best way to catch mice. Where to buy the freshest hay, and how to manage a septic system of …
