First of all…let me start off to say that here at the Farmhouse we are very thankful to those that have and do serve our country.  We also remember our loved ones that have gone to be with Jesus over this weekend. Memorial Day is more than a party to me…yet it is a sweet time to treasure family also. Can you tell how good the Internet is at shaming? That was a long disclaimer. Lol! Whew…


We started off this weekend having supper with some friends.  So much fun! We also got to keep our baby nephew and he is all things wonderful. Then we hung out with my brother and his little family for a while.  They are so crazy and funny. We love them to pieces! Today was fairly chill (relaxing and calm)…a fun trip to town with the girls, a little family reunion food prep, swimming, and homemade pizzas. They were even gluten free. I need to crawl back on that wagon. Speaking of things in that direction…wish me luck fellow Fibro managers. I am hoping that the swimming helps. I plan to do as much as possible this summer.


So…our holiday weekend has been relaxing so far. I eased away from our tribe for some quiet moments.  Moments of reflection. In other words…I am counting my blessings.  May you all do the same.


Love from our dirt road to yours,

Kelli

BHG and Relaxation

Last night when I went to bed…I gathered up a few relaxation items. Okay…technically there was Coca-Cola in the Yeti…so…anyway. (A rare treat these days. 😉) I wasn’t long into the magazine though and I was already inspired. BHG is one of the magazines, that I get, that still thrills me…in this world of so much online decorating eye candy. I really enjoy it.


I love that the style and projects are realistic. The recipes are too. I also enjoy having a real, live, article in my grasp that I can actually file away for later. As in…real life.  Yes…I love Pinterest as much as the next girl…but I am a book worm at heart.


Anyway…during my “relaxing” BHG totally inspired me to dress our yellow couch for summer. As I stated on IG…don’t worry…these pillows are to be used or chucked to the floor if necessary. We don’t have a lot around here that isn’t to be used. I think that is a good thing.

I’m still here and blogging. Scouts honor. I was just SICK the first week of Summer Vacay. All the bummers.  I’m talking full blown sinus nasty.  I have a big ol’ whopper of a fever blister to prove it!  Wee-waaaaaah!  Mmmkay.  I’m done whining. This blog is not intended for that. My point is…I’m trying to get in the summertime groove.  How about you all?


I hope that in your neck of the woods things are going great. I hope that you have your garden in the ground and your party light strung up. I hope that you are chilling and not stressing. I am working on all of the above. More content coming soon.

Crazy Crazy Month of May

I am waiting in the parent pick up line as we speak. Well actually as I speak. Into my little microphone thingy. Why do I forget all the rest of the year just how crazy,  crazy, super-crazy the month of May is? Then it rolls around and I act surprised. Maybe I should write this down. 😉


Other than that, we are all trying to hang in there. I’m sure that you all are doing the same. I will try to write a little more content for you… when I get a minute.


If your month of May is a little crazy, like ours, just try to remember that summer is around the bend. My hope is that it is a relaxing and refreshing one.

Love from the Farmhouse,

Kelli
