I have blogged for years. It’s something I love. Since I am a quiet introvert in person (social online is a totally different ball game), writing gave me that outlet to express myself. In addition to expressing myself, I learned I could actually earn income from just writing and sharing my stories. BINGO, I thought,…
The soft breeze starts to float in. When that beautiful, bright sun begins to lower itself in for the night, you feel that slight breeze that tells you that Fall is right around the corner. Those mornings have a slight chill to them. Cozy season is coming, and I am so excited. Today, I am…
Lily turned 4! 4!! Can you believe it? I wasn’t sure what theme we wanted to do for her birthday, but we finally landed on unicorns, and boy, was it perfection. Because it was so fun and cute, I thought it would be great to share with you all what we used so you can…
We all know my anxiety runs high, even on the little things. With that being said, one of the things I was worried about when opening up Idaho Deer Haven was having a key instead of an electronic lock. Thankfully, as I was browsing one of my affiliate sites, I ran across an electronic lock…
Figured it was time for a blog post update, because yes, yes, you read that right, Idaho Deer Haven is now booking! How exciting is that? Also, how scary is that? I am still terrified when the first guest arrives and I read what they think. I mean, I know there are still updates to…

I know. I know. We all hear it frequently. I don’t have the time, energy, or even the money to brighten someone’s day. Guess what? You do all the above accounts. It’s a lot easier than you think to take a moment to brighten someone’s day. And all it takes on your part is a…
Fantastic news to share, at 3 1/2, Lily is finally sleeping in her room. Before, she had been sleeping in her toddler bed at the end of our bed. That was fine, I wasn’t going to rush her to transfer to her own big bed. One night I asked her and she said Yep, I…
Who knew that being so close to opening Idaho Deer Haven to happy visiting guests would make me so terrified? The house still has many things we’d like to update, but for now, we feel comfortable enough to say that our home is cozy and enjoyable enough for you to come and stay with us…
Jason and I have always loved jigsaw puzzles. At most points of the year, we often had a puzzle being built in the second living room. We’d each do it alone, so each puzzle would get done twice before moving on in its life cycle. Then, along came Lily, and we knew as she got…
