Husqvarna 450 Rancher 20″ Chainsaw Review
When CJ & I purchased our property in the fall of 2020, we knew one of the first purchases we would have to make would be a heavy duty chainsaw. I had run saws before on multiple occasions, from basic Poulans to professional grade Stihl saws, but had never actually purchased one. This is my review of the Husqvarna 450 Rancher 20" Chainsaw which we ultimately purchased nine months ago. Why did we need a chainsaw? Because our house is equipped with an wood boiler alternative heating source,...

Small Project: Grinding the Stumps
To preface this entire post, Jason's family owns a hardware store that has a rental division and he has worked with stump grinders previously and is probably more familiar with how to use a stump grinder than your average homeowner, but do not fear! Renting a stump grinder is not scary, you can do this! We had this large ivy-covered tree in our front yard that we had taken out a few weeks ago, and we didn't ask the tree company to remove the stump (but we also didn't ask for them to take away...

5 Necessary Routines when Working from Home (with kids)
Over the past month I have started to work form home more often. Here are five necessary routines you need to have when working outside the office to stay motivated and productive as a mom: Wake Up Early I'll be honest... the first week I didn't do this. I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in another hour than usual! But then I realized how far behind I was getting by doing so. Suddenly my work routine was out of balance! So alarms started getting set again. Get Dressed I don't care if it's leggings...

July 2021 Amazon Product Roundup

Vinyl Siding Hooks When I planted our stick of a wisteria plant back last October, I had no idea how large it would get in a few months! I either picked the best place in our yard for this plant or this is kind of how fast it typically grows.. so of course we had chosen a trellis that was not tall enough. My girlfriend Nicole over @nicolehopedesign...
