When Life Gets in The Way

This last week has been another one in a long line of events that have had us hopping from one place to another in a hurried frenzy to get everything on our to-do list done. We’ve had outdoor projects, work deadlines to meet, family events, and church commitments, not to mention the regular day to day duties of running a household. As you’ve been able to tell by the dwindling posts, blogging hasn’t been making the priority list.

When we started this venture Dustin didn’t have full time work and we kept ourselves busy by working on our little “The Rooster and The Hen” blog along with a few other side jobs. We’ve since been blessed by him finding a great job that he loves. To top it off, his new company has offered to pay for some additional schooling which he’ll be starting next month, meaning we probably won’t be seeing much of him this summer. There go all my honey-do lists!

As for me, I’ve been battling “morning” (more like all day) sickness for some time now and it’s taken it’s toll on both me and the kids. I’ve been feeling lately that I need to focus more on spending time with them rather then planning and executing projects around the house.

But this is not goodbye – we’re just going to take the summer off from blogging with the hopes that we’ll be back by the fall (and perhaps a few random posts and Facebooking in the summer). We’ve met so many wonderful bloggers out there that have such fantastic content that I’m sure we’ll hardly be missed. In fact, we’ve compiled a list of some of our most frequent reads so you’ll have plenty of inspiration while we’re on hiatus.

We hope you have a great summer…stay cool.

Let me level with you – my mind has been out of blogging mode for a couple of weeks now. You see, Dustin and I have been involved in a local Wood Badge scout training course, which has had us learning leadership skills, camping, and team building exercises. If any of you are familiar with [...]

Whipping a Table Into Shape

We’ve been spending a lot of time out of doors lately – what with nice spring weather and plenty of projects to do such as the gazebo, trimming up fruit trees and gardening. While we still have some more planting to do, we’ll wait until after Mother’s day before we get the tomatoes, basil, peppers [...]

What Will Fifty Bucks Buy? (If You’re Lucky)

I knew we had bargained well, but I didn’t realize the full extent of our score from last October until I sat down to write today’s post. Grab a drink, and let me tell you the story. By the end of the summer I’ve pretty much had as much yard sale fun as I can [...]

December was a crazy time of year so you may have missed our favorite things episode – the one with the head-shot of Oprah and the overly-excited Target lady in the red warm-up suit. Well, in that post we mentioned how we absolutely LOVE Scentsy products…although, in the interest of full disclosure, we had only [...]

The dining room project is off to a slow start thanks to Easter, spring break, and the beautiful weather that’s had us at the park and getting our fill of vitamin D. In fact, this spring has been so warm and dry, we’ve been hoping for rain to help green things up. Luckily the trees [...]
