Today I am starting a series on the behind the scenes of my blogging journey. Although it hasn’t been a very long one, I hope it is the start to many more years.
I will be writing about many topics anywhere from where it all started to where we go from here. I may even pull Henry along for an article or two so we can see his insight into things. He seriously is the brains behind the tech and researching side of things. I don’t know what I would do without him!
So when we started planning for this build, we discussed lots of things, but a pantry was not one of them. Im not the typical mother or wife that cooks every night or has a stash of food in the cabinets. Actually, I would be kind of embarrassed to show you my pantry right now. You would probably call me a horrible mother or think that I do not feed my children. I can assure you this is not the case, but I do not buy in excess and really don’t have much need for a huge pantry.
Ok, Im not going to lie and tell you the entire process of designing your own home is easy. In fact, purchasing a stock plan would have been more of my style and maybe kept me a little younger. You see, I’m the one who takes the easy road and Henry not so much. He is always up for a challenge.
Is a three car garage worth the extra cost? This is a great question! It is one we always ask ourself before we start a new build. If doing a poll, I’m sure most would vote to do a three car garage, but the number one thing holding people back would be the cost and the space.
Last Fall, I built a porch swing bed for my mother-in-law. I documented the process and posted the tutorial here on our blog.
We’ve heard from a lot of people who have used it to make their own swing, which is awesome! But we’ve also been asked if we had plans for our original swing which was a different design, and was actually the one my mother-in-law ended up with. I built it long before we started this blog, which means I didn’t document the process or take and pictures of being built.
