Sharing our restoration journey of an 1890's homestead in the PNW!
When we decided that we were going to get a property with my In-Laws, it went like this: my idea was a farm with every kind of animal imaginable and a beautiful home and little kids running around with grandma and grandpa a quick walk down (or up) the driveway. I'm pretty sure my Mother-in-Law's… Continue reading Chicks!
So there's good news, great news and bad news. The good news is we still have a little snow around! The great news is, we're no longer snowed in!! The bad news is our driveway is still pretty treacherous, though we can see a bit of gravel in even the roughest of areas now. PROGRESS!… Continue reading Weekend Six
This last week, we got even MORE snow. We were effectively snowed in from Tuesday - Saturday! It was pretty fun, but it did get pretty tiresome eventually; even for me!

As we were eager to move out to the homestead, we prioritized getting the joint space ready to go. Now that we are all settled in, I CAN NOT wait to get moving on the Cabin!! It's going to be a long arduous process, but I'm sure (I hope) equally as rewarding. We have been… Continue reading The 1890’s Cabin
We will be working hard to bring this beauty back to life for the foreseeable future, and we're excited to share the journey with you! "We" - myself, my husband, and my in-laws (his parents) are currently living on the homestead. The in-laws have a trailer and we have an RV, and together we turned… Continue reading Welcome To The Homestead!
