Time For Change

For a while now, I've been wanting to move away from Blogger. Honestly, the site isn't easy to use and if you're not familiar with coding it can be even more difficult. Anything I've learned is simply from trial and error.

I also don't enjoy that there is very little flexibility in how you can set up your page. You can customize to an extent, but there are very few options, and figuring out how to change things is even more difficult at times.

I'll be researching other platforms in the next few days, and then I'll be transitioning away from Blogger officially.

Hopefully everyone can continue to follow along!

Preparing For Spring

I know it seems crazy to plan for spring when it's still summer, but you really have to if you're interested in having spring time blooms. Blake and I moved into our new house only a month ago, and the yard was the furthest thing from my mind. Now that we've settled, I've been more eager to tackle the garden... or lack there of.

I'm pretty sure pulling out someone else's crappy garden is the worst thing about moving. We had to do it in our first house too. This time around, there are a lot of bushes that need to be ripped out, which is absolutely exhausting. We drew up a plan (seen above) for our front and side yards. Most of this is attainable, but the pond and walk way will most likely take far more time next summer than we think.  Unfortunately, it's very easy to dream up a plan, but not so easy to actually get it done. Fingers crossed!
