I've used cloth diapers on both of my boys. That's nearly two full years of experience under my belt, so I'm fairly confident in explaining the pros and cons of this way of diapering to whoever is interested. In my opinion, the pros vastly outweigh the cons, but I also understand that cloth diapers may... Continue Reading →
I’m not really on the fall decorating train. I enjoy growing pumpkins in our garden and placing them on the porch amidst a few mums, but that's about as festive as it gets around here during autumn. Instead I take pleasure in placing small and subtle touches of the season around my home. No bright... Continue Reading →

Read all about my Herb Garden plans here! This is the first year that many of my herbs have thrived. I’ve so enjoyed their unique... Continue Reading →
If you've read enough of my blog content, you've probably realized that I really enjoy antique items. My home is full of vintage art, books, plates, rugs, furniture, and so on. But it wasn't until we moved into our little rental farmhouse a few years ago that I realized just how much I like antiques.... Continue Reading →

One of the best ways, in my... Continue Reading →

I love to go antiquing about once each month. I don't usually come back with a lot, but just a few things here and there to add to our small farmhouse. You can check out a few of my finds from this past spring right here. One of my favorite ways to display old plates... Continue Reading →
Our farmhouse kitchen needed a bit of subtle wall art. Nothing too fancy because the space is definitely not fancy. My goal in decorating this home is to add in vintage elements that perhaps bring back a glimpse of the time in which it was built (which is supposedly about 100 years ago). I've slowly...

I so enjoy this time of year. The flowers by my porch are blooming, hummingbirds are frequenting my feeder, yellow finches are singing their pretty songs, fireflies are filling the night, and the garden is showing signs of life. It truly is the ordinary and Little Things in Life that bring such joy. The Quiet... Continue Reading →
I enjoy the look of a collected home. One filled with old items that serve a purpose and are pleasant to the eye. A few months ago I was able to go on a little antiquing trip by myself (This was a huge deal with a newborn!). I enjoyed getting out on my own for... Continue Reading →
