I have to admit that while I am definitely a cold weather loving gal, I will miss this summer. I’ve been in the pool constantly and that has led to some relaxing evenings…
If you’ve been here long then you know I love me some Young Living oils. They are a part of my daily life in ways I never even dreamed of 5 years ago. It’s just normal to me now like making my bed and brushing my teeth. What started as a way to naturally manage…
As we go through the house showing you all of the changes we’ve made since the house fire I wonder why I didn’t just do this stuff before. Why did it take a fire to get me to thoroughly clean out my closet or get rid of junk? It’s been so freeing to completely purge. …
Last week I showed you the upstairs boys’ bedroom (where the fire happened) and this week I’m revealing their bathroom. It’s at the bottom of the stairs that lead to their attic bedroom and it’s been completely redone. Before the fire we had a pre-fab shower in there that we had just (I mean just…

We live in a small house with small rooms and lots of STUFF. Until last week it had been 7+ years since we really, deeply cleaned out the “little boys’ room.” As our older kids have left home the younger ones have kind of just slipped quietly into the emptied spaces and I don’t say much about it. …
This post contains affiliate links Well howdy stranger! Can you believe it’s September and school has started and we are off to a great start once again? I’ve been quiet here for most of the summer. I decided at the end of May that it was time for me to take a vacation from blogging. I had…
It’s been a whirlwind of activity here so far this summer. Between fanning myself and trying to figure out ways not to cook, I have been busy! If you’re new here then let me introduce myself. I am Lisa and I live in Texas where it is approximately 143° in the summer. Therefore, I complain…
