January 2015

Welcome 2015!
With a new year comes new projects. General around the house stuff and some bigger ones underway. Here we go...



We started off with some minor stuff in the court yard. 
Below is a Bleeding Heart. It started off as just a small plant about 2.5 feet tall. Over the last 2 years, it has really taken off. We started training it in the Fall to come up and around the lights. 


Just messing around before we get started on this January morning...


So you may have noticed over the last year a little tree beginning to grow. We planted an avocado pit and its really taken off. I'm so proud of it. We had to upgrade to a new pot. 





The next weekend, we did some much needed pressure washing to the front brick sidewalk and planted some hydrangeas for the new season. 






Our dedication to our weekly tradition at Skips...even in the rain!




So, back to the big projects. With some help from my dad, we're working toward finally getting the exterior white trim repainted. But first, we need to remove the old paint and fill in the gaps. 

Below are a few videos that really capture what we're dealing with: 







Enjoyed an evening at another local brewery. It inspired us to finally get the ball rolling to brew some our own. 


We had these made up over the holidays. I can't wait to try some in 5 weeks.  
(yup, that's Josh on the cap)






Last little project for the month. Decided to spice up the chairs in the kitchen. They were kind of plan. Just some new fabric and a little paint. They look brand new. 









So we're off to a good start this year. I'm confident we'll make it through the list... and then some! 
We'll end the month with some puppy love <3
