It’s been one year since we moved into our farmhouse. One year since we waved goodbye to Illinois, the suburbs, city sewer lines and our friends and family there to start a new life here. One year since we started life on the farm. We had…
With the new year now here, I wanted to share the last of my holiday inspiration, the Christmas table decor. You can pin it for next year’s inspiration and very ahead of the Christmas season. 🙂 I promised a second holiday table this season and even…
