Remodeling a Vintage Farmhouse in the Middle of the Country
If you read the blog….you might have seen this room before.
Umm….maybe 1000 times.
Seriously.
Are you ever like….I mean….we really like you and your sign and your milk container and your chairs and your tan couches and your basket on the coffee table with those random weights holding down those decorating magazines….
….but can you show us something new?
Why yes, rock star.
As a matter of fact…..I can.

Last week we drove into town to get supplies for our outdoor Father’s Day party.
And somewhere between the horse barn and the red building next to the satellite dish used as a garden ornament…..
…..I climbed up onto my soap box.
I have a few soap boxes.
But this one is my favorite.
This is my soapbox where I wax eloquently about the importance of choosing a really good boyfriend.Continue reading
If you made these no-bake peanut butter bars and brought them to the potluck…..
…..and I was there….and I ate one.
We would instantly become BFF”s.
Truly.
I would sit right next to you with my peanut butter bar dessert plate and talk for hours.
I’d ask you for the recipe and point out my slice and bake cookies on the dessert table still covered with red Saran Wrap left over from Christmas and we would talk about how hot it has been here and how everything should be no-bake when it’s almost 100 degrees outside and how I have this very odd sunburn on one arm in the shape of a space ship where I forgot the sunscreen at the pool yesterday.Continue reading
Did you wonder what I found on the 400 mile yard sale?
It wasn’t deer antlers.
Sadly.
I was hoping find some and paint them orange.
Maybe next time.
But I found something I wasn’t even looking for.
A sofa table.
Well…..it wasn’t a sofa table at first.Continue reading
Umm….if you were in western Kentucky at the mall yesterday and saw a blonde-haired-red-lipstick-wearing-super-short-but-trying-to-look-taller-wearing-high-heeled-flip-flops-person…..
….singing and dancing the lawnmower in The Children’s Place store.
That was me.
Truly.
I couldn’t help it.
The shoes were only $4.99.
And….wait for it…..wait for it…..
….I had a 20% off coupon.
*sigh*
Does life really get any better?
When my daughter rolled her eyes….I told her she should count her blessings…..
…..I was this close to a full choreographed number. Continue reading
What is the one of the most embarrassing things you have ever done?
I’m sure….whatever it is….I can top it.
By a mile.
Almost. Every. Single. Day.
Seriously.
I could be my own reality show.Continue reading
I totally feel a little Robert Frost-like today.
“I shall be telling this with a sigh.
Somewhere ages and ages hence…
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I….I took the one less traveled by.
And that made all the difference.”
It’s true.
We are walking on the road less traveled. You know…the one with horse barns and cows and acres and acres of green pastures and hay trucks and miles of fresh air.
That road.
And I love it…..but did you ever wonder how we got here? Continue reading
When I was younger my mother declared I was going to be Betsy Ross for the Fourth of July parade.
Seriously.
Everyone else in the neighborhood just decorated up their bikes with streamers and pedaled up the hill to patriotic music.
Not my family.
Not my mother.
I mean….why ride a bike up a hill….when you could dress the family up like the patriots of the American Revolution?
I had a souped up costume with petticoats and lace and blue gingham and black buckled shoes with an over sized ruffled hat
And I think my main responsibility was to drive Molly Pitcher around in a wagon.
Classic.Continue reading
