I just realized this is my second post on socks. Is it weird that I spend so much time thinking about them? Probably. That weirdness has a lot of company in my head. This post has been rambling around in my head for a few days, but today I’m going to link you to an [...]
I’ve used the OCM on my face for a while now, and I really like. I think I might have even posted about it – but I spent too much time finding my image to go back and look Simple Mom has some great information on it as well as links to MORE great resources. [...]
The weather had turned off markedly cooler. I am not rejoicing. While I hear that some people love fall – I struggle with it. Sometimes the best thing I can say about it – is that it’s not winter. I know that if I focus on the negative, I will miss all the (apparently) wonderful [...]
I snapped the photos for this post last night and then this morning I found a new blog favorite Zen Family Habits – Less Toys, Please (note to self – figure out a pretty way to do links) synchronicity huh? When we made our big downsizing/simplifying/live in our shop move one of the things that [...]
You know how some people are under-employed, under-educated, or under-insured? I am under-airconditioned. We don’t have AC in the main part of the cabin, but we do in the bedrooms (or trailer serving as bedroom suite as the case may be) This is mostly by choice. I could go out and get an AC this [...]
Sorry.. but my floors have been consuming my every moment of free time (and moments snatched while waiting for web pages to load) I am like slap happy about how they are turning out. Let’s take a moment and visit them in the raw state… (remember this is just supposed to be a subfloor with [...]
For the most part… I am absolutly LOVING this simple, slower life. OK.. maybe it’s not slower.. but filled with less electronics. No TV? Loving it! No high speed internet? NOT. AT. ALL. I’ve been trying to convince myself that it’s not that bad. It keeps the kids from being online very much. It forces [...]
Life without a working kitchen has actually been pretty fun. With no pressure to create big meals, we are eating a lot of raw fruits and vegetables and grilled meats. I am VERY thankful it’s summer. Beverages has proved to be one of our challenges. Not that it’s hard.. but just seems to be messy. [...]
The first experimental floor finish is down… and we moved some of the kitchen stuff in.. oh!! and OSB walls!! can you see the distressed area in the upper left???? fancy yes??? DH admit that he likes it well enough that I should go ahead and fill in the cracks and nail holes and repaint [...]
The plan is to have a nice laminate floor throughout the whole cabin. But that is going down much later in the process. Had we known we would be moving in before the floor was down, we probably would have used something with a better finish on it than OSB. But.. too late for that [...]
