Alot of people will argue that you should start with the hardest thing and work to the easiest. The opposite is quite true: if you start with the easiest, you’ll motivate yourself as you cross your ‘to-do’s’ off your list. Starting with the easiest thing first, check off as youRead More →
What are your priorities? I look at my dog and it seems he’s got it figured out. He goes out when he needs to, he sleeps when he feels like it, and he roots through his toy box when he’s got energy. Then again, my dog doesn’t care whether theRead More →
There is nothing more exhausting than being so mentally overwhelmed. It keeps us up at night, rules our thoughts during the day so we can barely keep focused…it seems that we keep writing ourselves ‘to-do’ lists, and things don’t get checked off. With the holidays, it only gets worse! Now,Read More →
Why don’t we stay organized? I hear a lot of: “I don’t know where to start!” or “I clean it once, but it doesn’t stay that way.” or even “my place is too small and I have too much stuff.” What does that all mean? It means that you needRead More →
It doesn’t matter if you have kids…or don’t. It always seems like back to school seems to bring chaos, confusion…and just a little bit of exhaustion! (okay, a lot of exhaustion). So what are some of the things we can do to make sure this transition goes a little smoother?Read More →

The ultimate pallet wood project! Ultimate pallet wood project! We purchased a 1974 Wilderness camper and gutted the siding and replaced it with pallet wood (no, it isn’t as heavy as you think). Ceiling is whitewashed, silver contact paper on door, refrigerator, and kitchen backsplash to match. Total camper remodel.Read More →
As mentioned before in a previous post, the camper (still a good idea) has begun its renovation! Yay…kind of. Because of the minor leak damage we saw, we decided to take off the paneling and create some custom work. There’s no way to know what’s underneath the paneling until youRead More →
Wow, talk about a long journey! Who knew renovating a house could take SOOOO long! First and foremost, for all you do-it-yourselfers and wannabe flippers: caution with cash! While Justin and I went into this full well with cash to purchase and cash to renovate, we knew certain things aheadRead More →
What is a glamping? Glamour-Camping. Okay, sounds a little dumb, but after massive internet and Pinterest searching, I’ve discovered the secret cult of vintage camper renovation. Thus, a 1974 Wilderness bumper pull. At 2442 pounds, pulling with a V8 expedition, we have to be EXTREMELY careful about weight. All ofRead More →
This was more frustrating than I had ever anticipated. What I was told was only going to be a few days in the making, ended up being the WORST estimate possible. It ended up being 2 weeks! Because the house is a measly 1100 sf, storage is a problem. IRead More →
