Our honey do list

It has been nonstop since we moved into our home 2 weeks ago. Whether it be painting, changing a light fixture, putting new locks on the doors or fixing a gap in the fence, we have been challenged and rewarded. We have made unbelievable progress in such a short amount of time and I can't wait to share some of it with you today. In addition, I will be letting you in our plans, goals (and sprucing up) for our new home.

Lets begin, shall we?

  • Paint front door
  • Make sign for front door or window (probably like Amy's)
  • Add mulch around trees and along front of house
