It takes me a long time to catch on to things that are social norms for most. Part of it is probably me fighting against trends, because I don’t like to be just another fish in the sea. Also, technological advancements overwhelm me, and seem unnecessary… until I realize that I GOTTA HAVE IT!(I’m letting go of a lot of pride to say this too)I jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon about a year late. And ... [ Read More ]

The first matter of business this morning is to say that if your name isn’t LittleMyoo then unfortunately you’re not the winner of our Moen Kitchen Faucet Giveaway… (Congratulations LittleMyoo! Check your inbox!) No real post today… just wanted to share some pics from our weekend adventure to Chicago to visit my brother Nathan, SIL Kelly, and nephew Miles! I was TERRIBLE and didn’t take a single ... [ Read More ]

I try to write posts covering frequently emailed questions… to save you time in emailing, and me time having to respond! This is what we can a win-win sitch! This is by far the most frequently asked question… we get asked this several times a week: Truth be told, I wish someone would answer this question for ME! And this is why I’ve been dragging my feet on writing this post. So ... [ Read More ]

Thanks SO MUCH for such an amazing response for our new Etsy Shop (SyWoodInk)!! We had so many lovely comments, and even a handful of sales! This is such a fun endeavor for me, and you guys make it even more fun with your encouragement! On to the topic at hand… So, there’s a room in our house that doesn’t get seen very often. It started out as our music-studio-slash-office. Then it became a ... [ Read More ]

My dear lovelies, did you have a pleasant weekend? I do hope so. I am soooooooooo super excited to announce that we’re LAUNCHING OUR NEW ETSY SHOP TODAY! This little shop has been my brain child, and I’ve been slowly plugging away and adding new pieces! I’ve been getting down and dirty with my can ‘o stain, and have even been dabbling with a power tool or two! If you’re wondering about the name ... [ Read More ]

You wouldn’t believe the design fail that happened to me over the weekend. I would show you and give you bullet points of all the things that went wrong… but I’m still recovering from the failure and am not ready to talk about it. Basically… I love how curtains seem to finish a room. BUT! I have NO IDEA WHAT COLOR to use for our living room! I know for sure I just want long panel curtains in ... [ Read More ]

This morning I woke up with one heckuva cold. The pressure in my sinuses feels like an anvil on my face. The sisters are still sleeping currently, and I’m hoping and praying that they wake up not feeling like I do. Because this momma is in no shape to win parent-of-the-year today. I won’t be winning blogger-of-the-year either… because we’re mid-project at the moment, and I have no beautiful ... [ Read More ]

If you’ve been around for awhile, you know our blog header has slowly evolved. I love change, so I’m constantly tweaking things to make them better (in my opinion)! This post may either be a nostalgic walk down memory lane for you, or it may be a good brief overview of where we came from. I started my blog the very first week we moved into this house 3.5 years ago. Living in the country and on ... [ Read More ]

  This giveaway is now closed. Oh heyyyyy, IT’S FRIDAY!! Three cheers for sure! I’m still not sure why I look forward to the weekend… being a stay-at-home mommy and all. Maybe it’s because I get unlimited time with my man-child! Yep, that’s definitely it! This is neither here nor there, but we had our entire septic line replaced yesterday, which really bites the big one. Although now I can ... [ Read More ]
