The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

No.527: Every Day in May // Days 17 & 18

Art that Makes Me Smile

My aunt sent me this adorable card last year and I knew I wanted to frame it for our schoolroom.  Makes me smile every time I pass by.

Garden Progress

I spent the morning soaking up that Vitamin D!  I watered and weeded the garden and hilled the potatoes again.  (I’m almost to ground level, so will finally be able to just let them go.)  We’ve had such a mild spring and the plants are growing, but soooo slowly.

Another Declutter Challenge Update

Today’s pile includes four empty boxes from my Fontanini nativity pieces, another broken ceramic jewelry box (how? why?) and a necklace I never wear.

After dinner, I was wild and crazy and jumped on the trampoline with my little kids!  They were so tickled to have me jump with them; I need to do this more often.  (Even if I pee my pants a little.)


On Sunday, my parents came to visit us after Mass and I didn’t take a single picture!

    Just the other day I was thinking that if I had a trampoline, I would gladly do all the exercise I don’t currently do 😉

      Jumping definitely gets your heart rate up!
