Well, this is a post I never thought I would write. It’s official. “J” and I are done our backyard! Done. Complete. Finite! These past three years we have painstakingly shaped our barren wasteland of a backyard into a relaxing, functional, beautiful oasis. A place for us to relax, entertain, and enjoy those long summer…
A woman’s work is never done. Or is it a cowboy’s work is never done? Either way… I’m pretty sure my work is never done. Yes, I am talking about the backyard. As happy as “J” and I were with the backyard when the summer came to a close last year, there is always more…

Yes, I am becoming slightly obsessed with the idea of having my very own dream backyard. We are not even halfway done our to-do list and I am already planning for the last item on the list – throw a patio party. Then I spotted Vancouver photographer Tracey Ayton‘s backyard in the June edition of…
Ever feel like everything happens for a reason? As you may have noticed “Project Backyard” and “Project Grow Our Own Food” are in full swing, and in a few short weeks ‘J’ and I will be tackling our biggest project yet – the shed. Almost anticipating my lack of power tool knowledge, I received a very timely…
