A rustic farmhouse style leash hanger with built-in storage for dog treats that you can customize with your dog’s name. And it’s dedicated to everyone who is a baby of the family … like me!

All of my typos drive her crazy, so she proofreads all my blog posts for me. Thanks, Debbie! {Read More}

Years ago when my daughter was just a little girl, she was going through some tough times in her life. Her beloved dog had gotten very sick and died, then she had surgery and was laid up for several weeks, then she found out her best friend was moving away.

Last year when my son went off to college, I don’t know who had a harder time with it, me or his dog, Pico. Pico seemed “lost” for several weeks after he left, and it broke my heart. He would sit in the front yard and look down our gravel road, and I know he was looking for my son. He didn’t know what to do with himself inside the house, because he was used to following my son wherever {Read More}

I apologize in advance for this post. If you are sick of seeing photos of my kids, I’m going to subject with more of them today. My middle son is graduating from our homeschool, and being the thrifty mom that I am, I always take their senior photos.

Bittersweet – Goodbye to our New Home & Hello to the New
September 30, 2011 by 5 Comments
Today we sign the papers on our new {but very old} home. While I’m not really looking forward to starting the remodeling process, I can’t wait to get my shop set up in the separate outbuilding, so the house can be just my home again – and not look like a cross between a flea market & a shipping depot. I’m excited we’ll live 20+ minutes closer to the town we travel to daily. My husband will have a 10 minute drive to work, instead of {Read More}
