My love for hydrangeas is a love story for the ages. There is just something about Hydrangeas that are just so perfectly flowericious. See? A love so strong I start inventing new words! And don’t get me started on their amazing color variety. Oh, hydrangeas, how I love thee! It is no family secret that […]

How To KEEP Your Garage Organized
I have a friend that taught me a new term. She was telling me about her garage-organizing troubles and so I asked if she wanted any advice or help getting her garage in order. (She is a good friend – I don’t throw that offer around lightly!) She said “Oh no, we’re just messy garage […]
My Re-Organized Garage REVEAL
Funny story. I showed Matt my post earlier this week where I said: “This week I am going to be showing you how I recently re-organized my garage and I am happy to say that it is finally how I want it. Just like many of you, I have to compromise with someone else who lives […]

That time I bought Lady Bugs
I really wish that I had written this post immediately after we released the lady bugs, so that I would still be optimistic that the lady bugs were going to stay around for a while and eat all the bad bugs from our garden. We did this last Wednesday, so less than a week, and […]
Container Hydrangeas
Admittedly, when I planted Hydrangeas in the containers on my porch back at the beginning of summer, I had no idea if they would live or die. I even kept the plastic containers and receipts in the garage in case I had to return them to the store (the store worker assured me they were […]
My Garage Cleanup: [How to] Maintain an Organized Garage
Garages are works in progress. About three times a year, I give my garage a good tidy. Each time I do this, I try to focus on improving something. When you’ve got a good organizing foundation, everything else is just a little tweak. Getting into maintenance mode is a bit more work at the start, […]
My Back Patio Update: Organize & Decorate
Earlier this week I showed you my simple Front Porch Update. I like simple updates. When you make several simple updates at once, it somehow creates a whole new feel. While working on updating our back patio, I wrote a list of simple independent updates I could do one at a time, because finding a […]
