I am not an adventurous soul by any means. I used to be, but as I age, I find my greatest happiness comes from just being at home. My neighbor on the other hand is hardly ever home. She is crazy, in a good way….

Enjoy this peek at our week! We are still in the throws of sugaring season!!! This year has been steady and doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon. Since we have already made enough syrup for our own use, we are going to sell some…
Enjoy this peek at our week! It’s been a spring like week for the most part, which means our sugaring taps have been flowing with sap. We did have a nice dumping of snow, again, which thankfully melted within 24 hours. I am seriously getting…
Enjoy this peek at our week! I am so over rain. I have been soaked to the bones this week trying to get things done and make maple syrup. And while the taps are running great, we are dealing with flooding all around us. I…

Nothing says Home for the Holidays like rustic decor. But Christmas is expensive enough without adding in the cost for decorating your home. Well who says you have to spend a lot to make your home look like a country Christmas?!?! Trust me, you don’t!…
The country kids are back in school!!!! I am thankful that Thanksgiving break is over. I’m sorry, our family loves each other, but we should not be made to spend so much time together. Seriously, the noise level in this house was just bad. The…
Tis the season for sending Christmas cards, baking cookies, and wrapping up gifts for those we love. I know many folks out there not only buy gifts for their human family, but pamper their pets this time of year too. While your dog and cat…
This week started off with the littlest country kid still sick with strep throat. No matter what we did his fever just wouldn’t break. He ended missing school the first two days of the week, only to go back on Wednesday and then be off…
