Many months have passed without much attention given to making any progress on our home. Yes, we try on a weekly basis to clean and keep up. However, we set out to do more with our house. Not just live in it but make it ours. Our lower level has 3-4 rooms/areas that have wooden […]

Mix that with the high humidity, bad mosquitos, and you’ve got yourself a Southern summer season. The summer season conjures up many thoughts, memories, and feelings for us […]

The cold weather seems to have settled in southern Louisiana. So, it’s only fitting that I finish decorating the mantel for the season…the fall season. And no, it is not winter yet…winter doesn’t start until late December! But, I can promise you this mantel will be around through the winter. This is how it looked last […]
