Little April Showers

Gardening has taken a back seat for the last few weeks as school draws to a close. Luckily April comes with it's own watering system and every other day is marked with low grey clouds and lots of rain.

plant update: onions, peas, and radishes are all up and growing( I re-seeded the radish and lettuce to get a thicker row). the lettuce really didn't come up except in the walk way where I spilled a few. I also re-started the Tomatoes after the first batch dampened off.

As most of you may have guessed Kylee and I are looking into homes in our area(walkable distance to campus). We went on our first home tour of a house well within our price range only to determine that the house should be burned to the ground and reconstructed. We've been heavily weighing the pros and cons of owning a home and its been a struggle to know what to do. With school getting out soon we may have more time to go looking, but we are going to have to acquire credit first to show the banks we are a good risk.

With all of the research into homes and payments, I recently spent time creating an Excel spreadsheet to see how much we are earning and spending throughout the year. So far we are breaking even but I'm sure when we are going to come out on top as soon as summer starts. Its our goal to own a home and use it to get our dream home before its time to retire.

Jake, just so you know

Spring Wreath {tutorial}

Even though it's still cold and snowy here in Logan, I am in the mood for spring!

So I decided to make a spring wreath!

Best part is... it was less then 5 dollars!

Just in case you want to make one too I took pics along the way :)

Supplies needed:

Wreath {I got mine at the dollar store}

Felt Sheets {they're 25 cents at Michaels}

Glue Gun

Wooden Board

Paint

Scissors

Marker

Paint Brush

Ribbon

Here are the steps...

7. When gluing the flowers to the wreath, leave a gap big enough to fit your quote board on the wreath.

8. After you paint the board, write/paint the quote you wish to use on it.

9. Glue everything to the wreath.

10. Tie a ribbon to the top of the wreath and then you're done!

Ta-Da!

 I love it! What do you guys think?

its time for spring! {new look}

I don't know about you guys but I am ready for spring!

Logan has been having some nice warm weather lately {mixed in with some not-so-nice days} 

and so I decided to change the look of our blog once again to match the season.

Lets hope that the weather keeps getting better from here on out! :)

I have always wanted mini headers for the things on our sidebar and this time I finally 

got around to making some.

There might be a few others ones coming in the next day or two.

maybe.
