That is Cally the cat. I am so excited for this new chapter in my life. We moved from our home where I brought the kids up to Saint Francis, MN about two years ago. Back then folks thought I was crazy to move onto a 40 acre farm and raise chickens. I was building my blog and creating my own brand of who I wanted to be.
The hard part for two years was my satellite connection. Uploading pictures was so difficult since it took forever. I got use to the slowness and slowly had to stop building my content. I starting working as a contractor for Collective Bias full time so blogging really was put on the side burner. Love my job so when I was asked if I wanted to move to the city into an apartment I said heck ya! I embrace change so here I am! This is our Living room facing into the kitchen, love the open floor plan!
We decided to really make a change in our home design from our farm style to industrial. It is just Dave and I along with Cally the cat so I wanted leather. My son took our boy dog Chance. He just bought a new house with his girlfriend so he was excited to bring his dog into his house. He brought the dog home when he was a sophomore in high school. So I decided to start a new blog with once again things I am passionate about. Being over 40 I am experiencing different things in my life then when I was in my 30’s so I thought I would start with that. Thank you for following me on my journey!
I found a buyer for my chickens and the coop so I was beyond thrilled. Good buy chickens I will always love you!
April, so happy for you! I am glad you posted this…it is always fun to see new thing and adventures in peeps lives

Thank you Diane! So excited for this change. So many walking and biking paths, we are really excited to get active again!
Such a cute place!!! Your couch really brings the room together perfectly!!
I know right I was so excited to get that couch! Thank you
Looks so pretty! Has it been a big adjustment going from a huge farm to an apartment?
Not at all. I really downsized all the kid’s stuff before hand. I have been getting out more being active with people that is the biggest change for me. I was very much it seemed a recluse for two years
I’m really excited for you in this new chapter of your life. You sound really happy!
So glad you are in another place that you love - it’s sometimes tough to transition on such a huge scale, but it’s good for us to embrace change and all that comes with it.
Congratulations on your move! I absolutely LOVE (beyond words) your red couch. Great to hear the chickens went to a good home too.
I love the red leather couch & it goes so well in the space.
You made such a big change in your life. I look forward to reading all about it!
So exciting!!!!!
Love your layout and your furniture! (I miss having chickens!!)
Fun! I look forward to reading about your journey.
Those have to be the coolest chickens I have ever seen.
Definitely a different style of living. I love going into the city
Best of luck adjusting 
Such a cute place!
Congrats on the new blog! Your home looks great &I’m so excited for you!
