A Secret Garden in the Making

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Hey guys!

How are you doing? I’m hoping all is well and that you have been enjoying your summer.

We’ve been working really hard around the house and the property even before we knew that we’d be having some very special celebrations happening here. One of the areas that we started on was what the kids are calling ‘The Secret Garden’… I guess it’s not really a secret now because I’m telling everyone about it but I won’t tell them that. It’s also not really ‘hidden’ yet but as the plants fill in it will be a bit more of a secret spot.

Hey ya’ll, we hope everyone had a great 4th!

When I last sat down to write I had shared some of the updates on the house and how we had been decluttering… it felt so good! We finally felt like we could relax and get comfy in our home but then we kept seeing all the little things that we needed to finish.

A New Addition

We’ve really been enjoying the warmer days and being able to get outside so much. We love watching the changes going on around us… God is so AWESOME and His wonders never cease to amaze us. To watch things through the eyes of my younger children is a blessing as well because there are so many things that we tend to take for granted in our daily lives.

This was meant to be a quick post to show you our newest addition… so without further ado, please meet Cookie:

Whew! It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve actually sat down and checked in on the blog. We’ve been so busy… every time we think it couldn’t get any busier or any more exciting than it does and just when we think we might have a chance to rest a bit something else happens. We’ve also had some appointments, birthdays, and special dances thrown in too!

Little miss enjoying the wind and making shadow friends!

Easiest Laundry Hack to Keep The Laundry Monster at Bay

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

This is probably not a hack but more of a little tip to keep those laundry piles from getting out of control or to help get them back under control if they get a little crazy. I’ve seen some crazy laundry piles and they weren’t pretty. Thankfully we haven’t had those and if we have it’s been so long that I can’t remember.

The easiest way to tackle a mountain of dirty clothes is to just get them washed! Don’t worry about sorting or any of that nonsense… just fill the washer, add some soap, and wash. Granted there may be some items that don’t come out looking as good as they should but drastic circumstances call for drastic measures sometimes.

We don’t have a lot of ‘special care’ items and if we do then they are kept separate from our normal wash. Most of the clothes that we choose to keep around are the kind that can withstand anything… and if they do get messed up the kids can just use them as play clothes or we can use ours for days when we have some messy projects to tackle.
