There are a couple things that have been plaguing us lately. The first being this 2 acre slab of asphalt on our property. Nick HATES it and wants it gone so bad. It's the bane of his existence... to the point where he's fixing to rip out the whole thing with his bare hands and a sledge hammer.The second thing happens to plagues me more than Nick... and that would be my garden. This overgrown ... [ Read More ]
If I had to choose
. I'm adding to my list of favorite things. If I had to choose just one item of makeup to use, it would be mascara.... and an eyelash curler. Does that still count as one item? Because technically an eyelash curler is more of a tool than makeup. Well you get the point. If I'm running late and only have a few seconds to upgrade my face to at least look human, you better believe I'm gonna slap on ... [ Read More ]
Change Up
For awhile now, I've been regretting the name of my blog "The Life of a Country Girl.' It started out being my journey as a newlywed, a new home owner, a new dog owner, etc... and I felt like I wanted to share all my new experiences. But it's developed into a documentation of our lives, and only a small part of which is actual country living. It's about US, not ME. So I've been thoughtfully ... [ Read More ]
Butterscotch Bars – STAT
Because I don't often post recipes, you should really take me seriously when I do. If I'm posting a recipe, consider it a matter of extreme urgency. Now when I was a kid, I loved butterscotch. Everywhere we went it seemed like the 3 common flavors were chocolate, strawberry and butterscotch. But then, mysteriously, butterscotch dropped off the face of the earth, and right out of my life. Dairy ... [ Read More ]
Restoration
Excited to launch a new category to our creative portfolio, Nick has allowed me to scour craigslist for ridiculous cheap finds on old, solid wood pieces with great detail and tons of character. We then take said pieces of furniture and refinish them... to be more awesome than their previous selves.I wanted to share my most recent project. (These are BEFORE pics obviously) We picked up this ... [ Read More ]
I Met This Boy
This morning I've been reflecting on this man creature that I've chosen to spend the rest of my days with. How did I get so lucky?It's funny how, when you marry, you feel like you couldn't possibly love this person any more. But then time passes and you grow to love that person in such a deep and profound level that you didn't know was possible; and you can look back at your newlywed love as being ... [ Read More ]
Get Lit
Do you guys remember this random craigslist lamp from a few months ago? Well since then, it's been serving it's purpose... lighting our very beige and cave-like living room (which is next on the major room makeover list).Then I got my hands on it.I just can't sit and watch a movie when there are paint brushes and fabric in the house. It's my illness....among other things.Not a single thing is ... [ Read More ]
Empty
I realize I haven't talked much about my inactive reproductive system lately. That's partly to spare you all of my cynicism, but it's also because I've effectively distracted myself... by life. Keeping busy, working lots, crafting, home improvements here and there, painting backsplashes just about every weekend. It all keeps my mind off the only thing that really matters to me. You might consider ... [ Read More ]
Toilet Paper Diaries
If you're not completely open when it comes to your bowels, I won't be offended if you stop reading now... and never return to my blog.My strapping husband has become comfortable enough in the stability of our marriage to announce that he needs softer, more durable toilet paper. My first instinct was to get defensive and fight for Angel Soft (the perfect combination of softness and strength). But ... [ Read More ]
TV Stand
What would you call this? A TV stand? A coffee table? A buffet? I probably would know if I hadn't dropped out of Interior Design school... but I have no regrets.Anyway, this darling piece of furniture I found sitting by a dumpster when I was helping my bro move out of student housing a few years back. I probably wouldn't have snagged it if we weren't already loading a truck... what's one more ... [ Read More ]
