I can’t believe how much our backyard garden is taking off (the front yard is also coming along nicely, although it still isn’t nearly as far along a sthe backyard). The tomato plants are already growing nicely (my mouth is already watering for a tomato sandwich). So far, we’ve also been very happy with the […]

We finally planted all of our plants from Spring Hill Nursery, which was quite a task (I think we ended up planting around 60 plants total). After a full week, they seem to be adjusting well, and many have starting sprouting. The majority of the plants were really tiny when they arrived (as in, a […]

The majority of our landscaping is against the house, which puts us in a bit of a predicament because termites like the warm, moist environment from piles of mulch. Everything we read (google termites and mulch, and you’ll find all sorts of delightful studies) warned against putting wood mulch against the foundation of the house. […]

I’ve been a bit of a slacker this week in terms of getting up the last few pictures of the front yard– and they will be coming! In the meantime, I just had to share this super cute picture of baby ducks that Daniel and I took when we were out biking by the neighborhood […]

Along with the plants we ordered from Spring Hill Nursery, Daniel and I also went to Lowe’s this past weekend to pick up a few plants for our backyard side garden. We just finished adding the last scoop of compost (1 ton is $10 from the landfill), so now comes the hard part of waiting […]

I actually have two new events to post for this weekend, which is a good thing because it means that Charleston (more specifically, North Charleston) is bustling with fun events.
The event to head to this Saturday night is Kulture Klash 2, which is happening at 10 Storehouse Row in the old Navy Yard. Daniel and […]

The street post signs are already out, and I’m looking forward to the upcoming North Charleston Arts Festival, which will be May 2 through May 10. Daniel and I weren’t living in North Charleston at this time last year, so this is the first we’ve heard of the event. The festival’s website is very thorough […]

Here’s a quick peek at a few more decorative details to the interior of the house that we’ve added.
1) A dish towel that actually matches the teal wall in the kitchen! (Yes, I do realize that I’m getting excited over a towel.) I found this one at Crate and Barrel during our trip to San […]

One of our goals is to get the yard into shape. Only after becoming a homeowner do I realize that this is no small feat (although my mom and grandma make it seem really easy–they seem to be able to grow just about anything). It was hard enough just keeping up the houseplants in our […]
