M is for Motivation

Many days I say the following thing..."Ugh...I have no motivation to get up and go outside." And it seems as of lately, that phrase has been uttered more days than not.

Monday Meals - Mexican Stuffed Shells

Even though I love cooking...each day trying to figure out what to make is usually a struggle. How many of you feel the same way?

Wood Working Wednesdays - Turning a Figured Maple Bowl

Because life on the farm isn't busy enough...I decided several years ago that I wanted to add woodworking to my resume. I started off with rolling pins because I figured how could one mess up a basic rolling pin. Well let me tell you...one can mess up a basic rolling pin!

A Day in the Life...

A day in the life of The REAL Housewife of Snohomish County isn't glamorous. I know, I know...I'm bursting the bubble of your view of my reality...right? Well, it had to be done at some point.

Long Time Gone

Okay...so I have *not* been around in  quite some time! Blogging has fallen by the wayside, as it has many times in the past, but now I honestly feel like I need to get back to my roots.

This Five Month Journey

Over the last five months I've set out on a journey that I wasn't really intending to be on. And during this journey I've had to confront head on two of the dirtiest words that kept coming at me.

What's Your Word Worth?

So I won't even begin to beat around the bush when it comes to my absence from blogging. After the events of our remodel last winter, I was a bit beaten down.

B.P. Farms - REAL Remodel - Week 1

We've been in our home for almost a year and a half...and we've finally reached the point where we are ready to start the remodel that we've been planning since we first walked in.

Change: Scary or Fun?
