Create your own pet grave marker
This post has been a looooooong time coming. Two years to be exact – that’s when our sweet Milo passed away and we buried him in our backyard. Last month we lost our little Phoebe and she too was buried in the backyard. But we didn’t have anything to mark their graves. We knew where […]

Backyard Playground Makeover
If you’ve followed along, you will have seen a few posts now where I’ve done different projects for a playground makeover. The goal of the entire endeavour was to get a few more years of use out of our backyard play set / treehouse… I needed to “Tween it up” to make it cool enough […]
