I just bring back too much clutter.

We also have an amazing creek behind our house where all the wildlife is decidedly.creepy, which is nice..

There will be plenty.You know this of course, but there will be so many that you won’t expect.Some of the sacrifices you do expect are things like hard work, having to wait to afford the projects that you really want to do, maybe a little bit more of a drive to go shopping, less access to all the city amenities.

The things I really find myself feeling on a daily basis are things like never being able to have a house that feels really clean in the rooms that haven’t been totally renovated yet, and that’s most of them.I also really miss having access to walking trails in city parks.

We can walk the loop next to the creek around our property, which sounds so much better, but in reality I do really miss my old trails.

I adjust to these things though and as soon as I start on a new DIY project, or see my kids outside playing soccer next to the cornfield, I forget all about those little things.. Perspective.I know you’re on the edge of your seat right now.

I also changed up the monogram over the bed a little bit by sticking it on this frame with some burlap in it.It was a little bit because I wanted a cleaner look, but mostly because the letters kept falling off the wall and taking paint with them and it usually just said “mg”.

Those are actually Kennedy’s uncle’s initials and, believe it or not, this room just wouldn’t suit him..So Kennedy’s full monogram was restored..
