We made an Ikea trip on Thursday! It was me, the kids, and my mom. It was partially for fun; but we also needed to buy the handles for the mudroom, and my mom wanted to look for some rugs for my brother’s new house. Living in the Indy area, we travel to the West… Read More
Like I mentioned in the last lake house post, the lake we visit is surrounded by other lakes. We often walk around one of the lakes just down the road. Its the perfect walking distance (about 3 miles around), and there is lots of eye candy for somebody who loves to look at pretty houses.… Read More
It’s been awhile! We spent last week at the lake where we don’t have wifi; so posting didn’t happen, but we had an excellent time! It was quite relaxing, and it was hard to want to come home! (also, the break from the mudroom was much needed…hopefully an update on that next week) Today, we… Read More
I am really excited about everything that got done this week in the mudroom. I didn’t update you last week because none of it was really picture worthy. So today there are several things to report. The “modern farmhouse” board and batten is done: Window Casings: Shelf: New lights: For me, this has been the… Read More
So, I think I might make this a semi-regular feature during the summer months on the blog. I grew up going to lakes. My dad had a friend with a lake cottage, and then my grandmother moved to a lake when I was in 4th grade. We have spent a great deal of time there over… Read More

I think its safe to say that Parker and I are ready to be done with the mudroom! Parker is super busy at work, and I’m ready to start cleaning up the mess that construction causes. We are making progress, but we still have a way to go. It’s been two weeks since the last… Read More
School’s out for summer! I LOVE summer. Its an opportunity to spend more time with my kids, de-stress, sleep in, take naps, and catch up on all of the things that don’t get done during the school year. One of those things is cleaning! I obviously clean throughout the school year, but there are definitely… Read More
Just a quick mudroom update today! This week Parker built the lockers that sit on top of the bench. I think everything is coming together so well! We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I ‘m hoping it’s all wrapped up by 4th of July…….fingers crossed. Parker’s real job really… Read More
