School and Curtains

SO this week school started for us.....sigh. Hailey is in 2nd grade and Jace is in preschool three mornings a week. Where has the time gone???? I thought I had awhile until this day would come, I know Jace is only in preschool, but still, it has come way to fast.
School is going well for both of them and they are up in the morning ready to go before its time to leave. I am praying that continues all year. This year we started a new routine and our mornings are going so much better and we are not rushed in morning like previous years.



Hailey has been wanting new curtains for awhile now and so while I was killing some time while Jace was at school, I stopped in at Joann Fabrics and browsed. I found some cute striped fabric that I thought would go well with her room colors. She has green and pink circles on her walls, pink bedding with circles, so I thought that the stripes might add some nice contrast.

Here is what was on her windows before, kinda plain
(I hate window air conditioners!!!)

I made just a simple valance and kept the sheer curtains under the valances. (she wanted me to take a picture of this window since the other window was ugly with the air cond. in it. She is very much like her mom) I need to hack off some of the rod, its a tad long.Little miss princess all snuggled in her bed. She was thrilled with the change.

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful week end!

Treasure Hunt

Usually on Sunday evenings we will take a walk up our drive way, which is a half mile long, and water the beef cows and visit with Mike's grandparents, who live up the drive. On our way back last night we took a detour into the farm shop and I found some great treasures..

This great crate, which will make a great place for storage. Not sure if you can see it or not, but it says Wooster Farm, not sure what that means but hope to find out where it came from

This galvanized pail. I have an obsession with galvanized buckets!!! I have great plans for it.


This old window frame and a couple of nights earlier, my dear husband brought me the small scoop on the left.


It is so much fun to decorate with all of those great things that I find on the farm.

Have a wonderful day
