Planting the seed Literally. That’s where I started. Because I may have absolutely no idea what I’m doing so…seed it is! Herb herb herb is the word I had 12 pots to fill…and not that many herbs so I doubled up on a few. We have: basil thyme oregano cilantro mint sage (can’t seem toContinue reading

Have I Mentioned We’re Cray? So because building a house and moving in before our rental lease was up wasn’t enough, we threw a puppy into the mix!

Well not the real shiplap thing. But the fake shiplap thing. Believe me…it’s a thing. Pinterest says so. And before we shiplap all theContinue reading

Less Busy…Everywhere When we lived in California, we used to either make an appointment at the DMV and only wait a little while. Or on the unfortunate times where you couldn’t get an appointment, you were stuck waiting for hours. So when we needed to get our new Washington drivers licenses, I went online toContinue reading

Little Adventures We’ve been here a little over a month now and have done a little bit of venturing out. Unfortunately between work and school and the rain, there’s only so much time.

Home…for the next year The rental is perfect for what we need over the next year. We have plenty of storage space here and moved everything from the storage unit we had rented in September.
