Let me know if you try it out too!.
We can walk the loop next to the creek around our property, which sounds so much better, but in reality I do really miss my old trails.I adjust to these things though and as soon as I start on a new DIY project, or see my kids outside playing soccer next to the cornfield, I forget all about those little things.. Perspective.
Remember that this isn’t just a house it’s an adventure, and one very few people get the chance to take.I do often find myself comparing my home to other new-build homes that I visit and feeling like we’re total failures for not being able to instantly get that fresh, new feeling happening in our old house.I have to remind myself that we’re not just renovating a house, we’re living an adventure and it’s the kind of thing that builds amazing memories and creates a strong sense of identity for our family too.
I can deal with some ugly walls for a few years for that!.So if leaving your stressful city life and moving to the country is something you’ve always wanted to do, after having lived it for the last three years, I say go for it!
Just be smart about your money and try not to stress out about all the little things as much as I do.
🙂 These first few years here for us while we’re still really getting settled and getting set up are definitely the hard years.Kennedy and Chris aren’t too sure what to make of it, but they’re humoring me, as usual.. Let me tell you, I have made some pretty fun little discoveries.
Stay tuned for more ways to stick things to your walls and confuse your family!OK, so this is actually our side door, but it’s the one everyone uses for now..This is one of those little ideas that makes my friends and family think I’m a little nuts.
There are probably many of those.It makes me happy though, and it’s in the name of making our house feel a little happier too.. We have this rickety screen door leading to our mudroom, that you get to by going up a set of rickety steps on the side of our house.
