On of the biggest selling point for this house was the screened in porch. I love being outside even if the weather is a little too hot or a little too cold. I crave being outdoors. But with 2 small children the outdoors doesn’t always love us back.
Reasons why I love our screened in porch:
Keeps out the bugs
Keeps In Jude
Is an extension of our living space
Covered storage for our outdoor gear
Just a peaceful place to be
Here’s Jude playing with his toys. He loves playing on the porch. To the left is our recycling area. We try to be environmentally conscious.
This is the adult sitting area. I love our table and chairs, they used to be in our old kitchen but we outgrew the table for two. You can also see our laundry drying on the drying rack. (Our dryer broke and we are waiting on the repair) There is also the bucket for our ice cream maker drying by the door. That reminds me that I should make some more ice cream soon! YUM.
Between the house door and porch door is where we keep all the cardboard that needs to be recycled. Joe and Jude usually load it up into the back of the car and take it to the recycling center. Most of those boxes are from review items.
There’s my porch. We have a tiny front porch that I didn’t think was worth photographing but it does exist.
What does your porch look like? Do you have a back deck, screened in porch, rocking chairs? I want to know.

Tomorrow, Saturday, September 7th is National Clean Out Your Garage Day. Our garage has been a catch-all for things we didn’t know what to do with after we moved it. It’s now been over a year since we moved and we are finally getting around to cleaning out the garage. Purging, organizing and a whole…
So progress on the house has sort of dragged along rather slowly this past month. After the framing was complete the rough in (wiring, HVAC, plumbing) was only supposed to take about 2 weeks. But alas, in typical construction style it’s been about a month and it’s still not marked as being 100% complete. They…

The move on Saturday was successful. It rained a bit but overall it was quick and relatively easy since we had so many great friends help us move. Now we are settling in and I’m trying to figure out how to decorate my living room. I particularly need help with the fireplace. The ceiling is…
Less than 2 months ago the nursery looked like this when we first moved in. Now most of the house is unpacked and ready for Baby 2’s arrival. There are a few small projects to be completed in the nursery but nothing that couldn’t be done in a few hours if we just set our…
