All I Want For Baby is a Rocking Chair
For the last two and a half years, I’ve been fighting with this beast. When I was pregnant, I really wanted a glider rocking chair to sit and nurse in.

No Shopping Challenge Update

My New House Mondays: Destruction of Trees
I was organizing photos and found some pictures from the first day that we started ripping out the trees in our front yard. The process of hooking the tree up to the truck and pulling it out was actually pretty cool, so I decided to share photos of it. I’m really happy with how our … Read more
21-Day Challenge – Don’t Spend Money?
First off, happy 4th of July for those in the United States! As you all know, I loves me some Minimalist Mom.
