Making Home
The girls' room finished (And a boy's room too!)
March 25, 2010
We've lived in our home for almost 5 years. But as I mentioned in other places we are building a family not a house so the renovations we planned so eagerly when we moved in have taken years to realize. I am so thankful for my father, who has helped ...
Getting outdoors ~ from a homemaker's perspective
March 24, 2010
