June 20, 2014June 21, 20141 Comment

I have been in a mood lately.  A rearranging mood. This can be a dangerous mood to be in when you have to live with someone else or when you have other things you should be doing (like working out). However, this mood also helps you get organized, keep things fresh, and gives you a … Continue reading I’m In The Mood….For Rearranging

There is now a piano in our living room. We've been wanting one for a long time and James' parents had one they were willing to give to us.

At Last I’ve Seen the Light!

May 7, 20142 Comments

We have lived without a light over our dining room table for about 4 months now. All that has been there is the electrical wiring sticking out of the ceiling. Attractive, I know, but I didn't want to spend money on just any old pendant; I wanted it to be something fun and unique that … Continue reading At Last I’ve Seen the Light!

The internet is chock-FULL of DIY, home, and design content. If I didn't have a husband, job, or common sense, I would spend every waking moment on Pinterest and other blogs.

Why Put Effort Into Your Home?

February 19, 20144 Comments

Ever since James and I were dating I started thinking about what our home would be like once we got married. I had only ever lived with my parents so the idea of having my very own bedroom, kitchen, bathroom , AND living room to decorate sounded like heaven to me. Right from the get-go I … Continue reading Why Put Effort Into Your Home?

Our Backyard: Progress and Plans

February 12, 2014February 13, 20146 Comments

I love taking advantage of nice days because I get to go out do yard work. If my parents are reading this they are probably rolling their eyes and shaking their heads in disgust because I never felt this way about yard work when I lived with them, but when it's your own home it's … Continue reading Our Backyard: Progress and Plans

Hello! I’m Sharaya

Country life: one minute you’re chopping a 3ft long snake in half with a machete because it’s trying to get in your chicken coop, the next your baby is being cute with a pink watering can 💁🏼‍♀️ Olive and James found a deer skeleton in the woods and yesterday she brought it in to get a closer look. One of the gifts God gave me this past year was a fresh perspective and renewed love for motherhood that had been dimmed by health issues, postpartum anxiety and rage, and not enough time in prayer and the word. Three years ago I would have said there’s no way I could homeschool Olive. “We fight too much”, “we would just butt heads”, “she’s too strong-willed”, etc., were all the reasons I thought it wouldn’t work.
