family, home, laundry, life

Clean laundry!!! That’s what you get. I don’t really have 16 loads…but I have our washer swishin’ and our dryer fluffing. I am so thankful for the washer and dryer.  I know this isn’t super exciting stuff…but it’s real life.  Since I was sick over the weekend I didn’t get much laundry done.  It breeds when you take your eyes off of it.

This vintage print hangs in our laundry room.  I love it.  Hanging pretty things in your laundry room or area is key.  After all…it’s pretty much a hangout.

On another note…May 1st.  Can you even believe it?  This year is zoooooooming by. The sun has been shining here in Southern Missouri the last couple of days.  It’s beginning to feel like spring.  Just in time for summer. 😉

Do you guys make your own laundry soap? I have been thinking about it.  I use the wool dryer balls in the dryer, but I still use liquid detergent.  I don’t have front loaders but I do have he machines. I would love it if you would leave me your laundry thoughts. Recipes on homemade soap…bring ’em.  Is it worth the hassle?  Does it scratch your Gain itch.  lol! I know…I know…we don’t need all of that artificial fragrance…but I am a scent lover.  Blame this ol’ schnoz on the family tree.

Don’t worry, Dirt Roaders, I don’t owe my soul to the company store.  Or our washer and dryer. lol! Jesus owns that. I do a lot of laundry though. I’m not complaining.  It’s a comforting way to serve our family.  I have said before…I will take this over walking down to the pond and scrubbing them on a rock.  That is what you call doing laundry!

Over here with 16 loads. (Jaaaaay Kaaaaay!)

Little Bits of Kitchen

farmhouse style, heart of the home, kitchen, life

Good morning, good morning!  How is everyone today?  We are definitely trying to hang in there.  I thought that I would share a few…little bits of kitchen with you today.  Everyone always calls the kitchen the heart of the home.  I would have to agree with that.  People usually seem to gravitate to that room at the Farmhouse too.  I love that.

Do you all have a coffee station.  It’s a pretty important part of our kitchen…let me tell ya!  Our Keurig was on the blink the other day…and everyone was a bit bummed.  (Especially since we had just gotten it in December.)  Thankfully we ran some cleaner through it and it works again.  It’s such a cozy spot in our kitchen though. I love to make coffee, but also my Sleepytime tea in this little spot.  Very cozy, in the evenings.

I’m sure that if you follow along on Instagram, you have seen this little piggy trencher.  The first place that I ever saw a little pig like this was either on Edie Wadsworth’s blog or Instagram.  She keeps salt in hers and it is adorable.  I think this one is a bit bigger.  I just put my salt crock inside.  It’s truly a delight in our kitchen.

Do you guys remember the plate rack turned cook book rack?  I loved my plate rack…but I really enjoy all of the these cookbooks being out in the open.  I know…that you know…that the kitchen can be pretty too.  It’s such a workhorse in our homes at times though…that we overlook some areas.  Don’t do that! 😉  Make every area of your kitchen enjoyable to look at or live in.  I promise you…it will be worth the effort and you will enjoy your time in there so much more.

I hope that you guys have enjoyed the little bits of kitchen that I have shared today.  I love this early morning shot.  (Ignore the Sherwin Williams paint bucket/egg bucket. Keeping it real.) I also hope that you all have a wonderful Tuesday.  Remember…life is what your make it.  You get to choose.

Love from the dirt road,

Welcome to our stretch of the dirt road! It is filled with junkin' trips, culinary experiments and anything to "fluff the nest" which is our farmhouse. I love home decor that fits my family. I love a simplicity that we can live in. Maybe that is why the country life is so appealing to us. It's a place to breathe deep...and enjoy the journey. Join us! We would love to have you. (You might even see a chicken or two.)
