Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

We returned last night from our long-awaited, much-anticipated long weekend getaway to the mountains.

Life at Home: Our Garden

Life at Home: Our Garden

I’ve referenced our garden a couple times in different posts, and today I decided to show it off. I mean, now that it’s starting to turn into a successful attempt, I actually have something to show! As soon as we found out we were getting a house, we decided that we were going to try our hand at gardening. The green… Read More
