It’s Fri-Yay! You made it!!! Did your week fly or did it plod? That seems to make a lot of difference doesn’t it?


Whatever the speed of your week…I hope that it was a productive one. It has been so hot here in the Ozarks that you have to be a little more selective about the time of day that you do certain chores. Of course…it is summer…so heat comes with it. 


I hope that your weekend is relaxing. I hope that you get to spend it with those that you love, God, family and friends. Maybe you will even sneak in a junkin’ trip or two. That sounds fun!!! (I have been looking at Mason Cash mixing bowls online. Oh goodness. All the heart eyes!) 


(Pinterest masoncash.co.uk)

Got a little side tracked there. Lol! But seriously….GOR JESSSSSS! 

Okay…so you all have a blessed weekend!

Chattin’ It Up

Good morning guys! It’s Thursday!!! My favorite!!! I thought that we would just chat it up a little today. Nothing specific in this post. That okay? Okay!


So…the fair is in our neck of the woods this week. The hottest time of the year. Lol! My Mister and our son went to the livestock show this week. They sent me the sweetest shot of our son and his buddy…heading for a funnel cake. I love this!!!


I did a little revamping this week. If you follow along on IG…some of this is old news. Anyway, I kept seeing these cloches in our storage area and they were calling my name. Vintage bread board, succulents, Currier and Ives, and cloches. You can’t go wrong. 😉


I posted this to FB this week. It just jumped right out and slapped me. (Lord, please help me to be a cheerleader for those around me. I want to have a pure heart! Amen.) People often say that life is short…which is true…but life is such a gift. Wasting it on jealousy and petty things is just sad. I wanna be a rooter!!! You know…rooting folks on. I told a sweet, sweet, momma at church last night, that we were rooting for her. We are. Her baby girl is having some scary health complications and we are holding them up in prayer. That is real life. Genuine, heart to heart, stuff. I wanna live there. God is good, isn’t He? And the folks say…”All the time.”


I hope that Thursday treats you well. I hope that it feels like the beginning to your weekend. May you look around…and count your blessings…because life…is a gift.

Love from the Farmhouse,

p.s. Thanks for chattin’ it up with me!!! Leave me a comment! I love to read them!

Crazy-Busy Summertime

Hey guys! Are you crazy-busy this summer? We seem to be. Always something going on and now we have hit a heat wave. How about you?

Today we have stayed home and pretty much did only laundry. It is a constant in my life. 😉 Faithful friends…that washer and dryer. Last week the kids had camp…so they are detoxing from that…in a good way. They love camp and are sad when it’s over.


In other news…the Mr. and I tried our first Pineapple Whip ever!!! It was yummy! Where have we been? Under a rock?


I hope that you all are staying cool and remembering how to take it easy. We are relearning that one!

My Favorite Day and Random Stuff

When I was a little kid, in school, Thursday became my favorite day. It felt like the beginning of the weekend. It’s still that way. Thursday…you so chill. (Why am I talking like that?) Let’s try that again. Thursday…you are finer than frog hair. There…that is true to my SoMo roots. 


I have eleventy million things that I need to get done around here. Do you ever feel like that in the spring? I know that the Mister does…bless his little pea pickin’ heart. He is steadily getting his list hacked down. I need to spring clean like nobody’s business. I’m gonna have to take it in stride though. Unless I hire some helpers. Hmmmm….lol!


So…more stuff. Have you guys read this? My sweet friend (cousin) Amanda let me borrow it. I’m excited to start it. Doesn’t Joanna have amazing taste?!? 


(Pea pickin’.)

Well…I have successfully bumbled around in this post. I hope that your Thursday evening is delightful. I hope that you get to relax and stretch out your toes. This post just might have made your eyelids heavy. 😉

I know. Shocking. Two posts in two days. I aim to please. Lol! Soooo…two things.  Well…maybe three.

1. If you have a man that brings you a     white pumpkin home from the grocery store…keep him.

2. McDonald’s has really upped their game. Their fries taste better out of those little baskets. 🙈


3. You just can’t improve on the handiwork of God. His eye for beauty never ceases to amaze me.


Those are my two (three) things for you today. Feel free to let the comments roll!

You guys!!! How have you been? Has your August been as busy as ours? Ca.Ray.Zee. Today I’m gonna talk a bit about rugs galore okay? Okay!


I am totally in love with this new rug in our entry. Sometimes I buy new things and they have to grow on me. They have to woo my standoffish heart. Not so in this case. It’s crazy…this is the first braided farmhouse rug that we have had at the Farmhouse. What is the dealeo? 😉 Anyway…we are all loving this one. It came from a local shop and was a great deal!!!


(I just threw a little mantle love in there for fun.) 


Theeeeeen…on my birthday…I finally got my cowhide that I have been dreaming of. We love it!!! It smells so good too. Leather is my favorite scent. (Sorry bovine population.) I  also love the bit of flair that it adds to our dining room. This is probably my favorite flea market find…ever. (Thank you Mister of mine and parents!!!)

Well…that is my rug rambling! Leave me a comment and tell me all about your summer finds!!! I loooooove to read your comments.

So here we are. I hope that you guys had a wonderful weekend. Mine was chalked full of sinus crud…but things are a bit brighter today. Thankful for that! Just a few Monday musings for you. You know…stuff to ponder.


Isn’t that the cutest dish brush? I know!!! And those little utility shears? Those came from The Freckled Hen Farmhouse. Sweet Natalie can totally hook you up right here: 

https://freckledhenfarmhouse.com

You can also find them on Insta!!!


Our zinnias are blooming. They are so fun! Maybe…possibly my favorite flower. I’m just not sure…because I love peonies too. I love roses also…in pale pink and cream. So many choices.


It has been hotter than a firecracker here in southern Missouri. Our poor little ladies and one gentleman (rooster) will be glad when it cools off a little…I’m sure. 

A bunch of random Monday musings just for you. From me. The end.

Love from the Farmhouse,

Just poppin’ in to say “hi.” How is your Monday treating you? Mine has been crazy and busy. Aren’t they all?


I hope that your evenin’ is cozy and relaxing. I hope that you feel content and full of blessings. I also hope that the God of Heaven and Earth wraps you in His blessed peace. That would be a great start to the week!

June, Junking, and Bath and Body Works

Here in Southern Missouri…June 1st is a bit soggy. If you look at the forecast…it’s rain for years. That being said we are glad that you are back June, you ol’ thang. One request though: A few sunny days for swimming? Mmmkay. Thanks!


So…now that you have the weather report, how about some junking news?  Yesterday, I was at one of our little “honey holes” and treated myself. I have been admiring this little salt crock for awhile. It’s old, well-loved, and perfect. She even came down a bit on it. That is always a bonus. These days I am picky about the finds that I bring home. This one though…is a keeper.


Okay, so, did you know that Bath and Body Works have made some of their classic scents available again? They sure have. I ordered Sun Ripened Raspberry this morning.(I am sold on their body cream in any scent.) Eeeeeep!  How fun is that?  I have missed that scent. It was probably my very favorite!  Plus today…they have a code for free shipping. Aaaaand…It was buy two get one free!!! You totally needed to know. Totally cool. (My daughters are rolling their eyes and barfing. Wait…what am I saying?  They won’t read this! I can say what I want!!!) TOTALLY! Lol!


(This is the “retro” packaging. They have amped it up a bit. Cause you know…it’s not 1995.)

Okay…enough of that. I hope that you guys have a wonderful evening.  Leave me a big, fat, comment. I love to read them. My readers are the best.

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
