I skipped doing a house and yard projects to-do list last year because I got swept up in flower farming planning and tasks, but some of these projects are now going on more than two years of being half-finished, so I figured that maybe posting about our to-do list will be the nudge we need …
Back Family Room Makeover {w/ Before + After Pics and Cost Breakdown}
I know I’ve been promising house updates and before and after pics for several months, but now that my first flower farming season is finally starting to wind down, I’m able to focus a bit on the house again and actually follow through on that promise. The majority of our big house updates that we …
2021 House + Yard Projects Update
Seeing as it’s been a loooong time since I’ve done a house update (around 6 months, in fact), I figured it’s high time I give a progress update on how the house and yard projects we wanted to complete in 2021 are going. When I made up the list in February, we were still riding …
Home + Yard Plans for 2021

Mistakes I Didn’t Know I Was Making Until We Staged Our House to Sell
In case you missed it, our house went on the market last Thursday and is now currently under contract as of last night. While we did get four offers on it, this is not a post on how you can sell your home quickly, or on how you can get top dollar for your home. …
Suburban Homestead Diaries: Home/Yard Plans for 2020
Last year, I compiled a list of home and garden projects we hoped to complete by the end of 2019, which helped to keep us on track with our goals as we had a “big picture” to look at. However, if you actually look at what we were able to accomplish on that list, we …
