Easiest Dip Recipe Ever

I love me a good dip. The kind where if someone tries to take the bowl away from you, you might smack their hand kind of dip, the “I just can’t stop eating it” dip or the “I’m pretty sure I just ate all of my calories for the day” dip. Yeah, that kind. Even better […]

Get It Together, Jordan + A Week of WODs

A few weeks ago I had a serious heart-to-heart with myself. At the beginning of every month I try to reflect on the past month, write down who and what what I’m thankful for, establish my goals, etc. but I had really REALLY been slacking on that too. I would have the intention of doing it and then would look […]

Hi! Now that we have told you how to make the window boxes and how to fill them with flowers we are going to teach you the final step in the process, how to attach them to the house. We researched a ton to figure out how to do this but we never really found a good way […]

Stock Tank Garden Planters

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday I shared all about our garden and mentioned that we decided to add a few stock tanks/feeding troughs as a way to increase our gardening space. They aren’t necessarily as inexpensive as other planter DIY options but they work perfectly with our small yard. Some other reasons we purchased the stock tanks are: […]
