Yes, you really can. Keep reading if you want to learn how to start a dog sitting business at home and pay your mortgage by playing with puppies. We’ve been doing it for a year and a half, and it’s awesome. When we moved across the country, we started the dreaded search for a new […]

A before-and-after (of me this time, not a room)
Tired? Irritable? Foggy? Depressed? No matter how hard you try to lose weight, just keep gaining? Migraines, insomnia, heartburn, or digestive problems, thyroid problems? You might have the same problem I had. (Yes, for me those were all symptoms of one singular problem.)
Bedroom makeover before (ORC Week 1)
Ready for some ugly before photos? Everybody loves ugly before photos. If you’re new here, we purchased a custom-built 1961 MCM a year and a half ago and haven’t had a spare second (or dollar) to get to work on restoring it until now. I’m so excited to finally start tackling a project in our […]
The New Little Victorian
First of all, where in the world have we been? I recorded a video for you explaining it, but my video and audio were WAY out of sync, so it didn’t work. Booo. So here’s what happened: the Hubs got a new job, we moved, moved again, then moved back home, within the last 5 […]
Almost a year!
I cannot believe it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted here. When I logged in this morning (which I still do to check on any questions and comments), it seemed like it had only been a few months. Nothing to speak of has changed in the house yet. It’s been an adventurous year to […]
Meet the Prairie House
We are all moved in to the new house! It is quite different from the Victorian. It’s a Frank Lloyd Wright style (and not too far from where he lived and went to school actually). It was designed by an architect for his aunt and uncle and finished in 1961. We just purchased it from their son, so […]
Goodbye to the Victorian…and the Craftsman
The Victorian closed and officially belongs to someone else now. We’re currently living in the big Craftsman as you’ve seen in the last few posts, but things just haven’t worked out like we thought they would, and this month, we’ll be moving…again. We’ll be in the same general area, work is good and we like the […]
Bedroom makeover with just paint and a few second-hand items
The last 5 weeks of the One Room Challenge just flew by. We took another week off the ORC bedroom makeover last week because we were at a point where we’d have to spend money to continue, and when you’re paying for two houses, money isn’t exactly in abundance. (Anybody want to buy a cute Victorian? Please?) We […]
I’m in love with this color combo (ORC week 4)
We had too much going on last week to make any progress on the One Room Challenge bedroom makeover (click here to see our first 2 weeks). I did get the walls and most of the ceiling primed, but that was it. This week, however was much different. Here’s what it looked like a couple weeks […]
