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.

The best way to start your spring cleaning is by making a list. I love making lists and crossing things off; it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I usually walk around the house making a list of everything that needs to be done. Then, I set daily or weekly goals so as not to…
Finding stylish and practical record storage can be difficult, especially if you are on a budget. We needed storage for our Audio-Technica turntable, Klipsch R-15PM Powered Monitor speakers, and extensive record collection. The IKEA Kallax was great for storing records but wasn’t aesthetically ideal for our space. We wanted something vintage, but it was challenging…
The majority of living space in our new house has wood (laminate) floors, so we are in the market for a few rugs. Now I would love to buy all vintage or handmade rugs from around the world. Like this beautiful Turkish Rug from Loom + Kiln. (Or Pretty much anything they sell.) At $1,178…
Guest post by Becky at Franticmommy A smiling a happy Mom casually sweeps up dirt into her neat little dustpan. She pauses and smiles, gazing out the window at the glorious day, relishing the singing of the birds. She deeply breathes in the sweet clean air in as she surveys her spotless kingdom…. (Insert…

Today is the big day. We are moving into our new home. The guys are loading the truck, I’m making sure everyone is staying well fed, hydrated and informed, the boys are playing at Grandma’s house and hopefully it won’t rain too much. Goodbye Raleigh Hello Knightdale PinShare
