Bad things happen to good people (part 1)

Note: This is a personal post that I have never fully shared with anyone before (aside from my therapist). January 6th 2018 started like any normal Saturday for me.

We bought a Church!!!

Yes, that’s right….. we bought a CHURCH. Now, there is more to the story, so let’s take a step back to the beginning on how this all happened so fast. One month to be EXACT.

October Craft Club { Reversible Porch Signs }

Laundry Room DIY {Progress update 1}

Laundry Room Progress

Laundry Room Progress

This room is so exciting in more ways than one. I don’t even have a photo of the sad space in our garage that was called the laundry room for over 50 years.
