Yesterday we told you how we’re really excited to have our first backyard garden. What we didn’t say is that we’ve actually grown a lot of things in our back yard before … weeds. Womp womp. We may live in Ohio, but our yard has been...
We promised you lots of kitchen and living room pictures, and lots of pictures you will get! I hope you had a chance to see the fun, walk-down-memory-lane slideshow we created the other day that took you through the entire progression of our kitchen from teeny tiny, dark...
