I was so excited when Jeniffer over at Three Dog Farmhouse asked me if I wanted to join in the touring through blogland fun!! I of course said yes. You really need to head over to Three Dog Farmhouse because Jeniffer is super creative. Her 3 dogs are Molly, Misty and Minnie and they look super sweet. She claims to be a little bit obsessed with chalkboard paint, monograms, flea markets & all things dog. She has great DIY projects and other awesome stuff that you wont want to miss!
As part of the tour there are 4 questions that I have been asked to answer:
1) What am I working on?
I think for me the better question is what am I not working on? We bought our very first house last year. We were on a strict budget which meant we ended up getting a fixer upper. We are constantly fixing, repairing or adding something to the house. As far as more specific projects, I am working on making a commend center in one of our living rooms. My piles of papers, bills and other such items are lost without a home to reside. I am looking forward to sharing that with you in the next few weeks. The backyard of our house was completely unfinished when we bought it, so that is also on my to do list. Here is what my backyard looks like right now, pretty scary!
One project that we have pretty much completed is our kitchen, here is a before picture. Head over here to see the finished look.
2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?
This question is a little bit though. There are multiple awesome DIY/home decor blogs out there. Each one, including mine, brings their own personalities and unique circumstances. I think I have unique projects that can help people be creative.
3) Why do I write/create what I do?
I have always been the type of person to stay busy working on projects. I started a blog way back in 2008 and had no idea what I was doing. My life at the time started to get busier and so I stopped writing. My sister Bethany over at Whistle and Ivy started blogging a couple of years ago and she got me thinking about blogging again. So, in March of this year I took the plunge and haven’t looked back. I have already made some great connections and I hope to keep sharing my projects and ideas with all of you.
4) How does your writing/creating process work?
That is something I am still working on 🙂 When I get an idea for a project I devote a lot of my time into getting it done quickly.
I am still tying to find a good balance between blogging life and
family life. Sometimes I will plan out a project but most of the time I just wing it. For me that just works best.

Here is one last picture of my little one.
I cant forget about my first child. 🙂 Mazie is the sweetest little dog ever. I woke up at 5am and drove to the pound so that I could be the first person in line to get to choose her. I love pound dogs.
Now to introduce you to the three bloggers that I have chosen! They will all participate on August 4th, so be sure to check out their posts!

Recently, my husband and I went on our first trip to the United States. It was a long-held dream of mine, and we finally realized it. Since it was our first trip of this format, we didn’t bother with the route and just went to the first one we read about. But on the rental24h.com website, we chose a good SUV for the trip, so the trip was comfortable. Next time we plan to choose a very good route and travel along it
