Hello and welcome! I’m Lauren. I live in Texas with my husband and four kiddos. I am Texas born and Texas raised and am one of those Texans that has an undying and perhaps inexplicable love for our State and will have to be pulled out of here kicking and screaming before I leave it. I am also constantly doing something. Indeed, my inclination toward activity is so great that my husband has kindly asked that I limit myself to one cup of Earl Grey tea in the morning. If I have more than that, I’ll vacuum the whole house, mop the floors, and undertake some woodworking project .
I should have started this blog back in 2014 when we moved into our new house, but I didn’t. Now I try to play catch-up documenting the countless projects my husband and I embarked on as new homeowners as well as the valuable information we learned as first-time homeowners. And because creativity is a never-ending process, I’m going to continue sharing new DIY and home decor projects. I also love to cook and have a lot of great family recipes that I plan to share.
Even though the humidity level here is often in the high 80s and the real-feel temps break 100 starting in early June, I spend a lot of time outdoors. I plan to touch a little bit on my trials and errors in my 4×8 foot backyard gardening plot that I won’t allow myself to expand until I take better care of it.
I appreciate you stopping by. Please drop a line and say hello if you are so inclined.
