Spring is upon us, AMEN! I love when the world comes alive, turning from brown to green almost overnight. The scent of flowers in bloom wafting in the breeze and the sounds of birds chirping draw me to my outdoor space and after months of hibernating all I want to do is BE outside.

How to Limewash Brick
When we first bought our 1970’s ranch style house a few years ago, I was not in love with the brick exterior any more than the interior, but it was not my first priority.

Beau loves to play outside and splash around in the baby pool with the girls. They love it too, so we have been spendingContinue reading “Natural Highlighting Solution”
