There are plenty of posts here about treehouses, but I recently realized that have I neglected to share much about our own treehouse project. Maybe because it isn’t finished. There are two types of treehouses. The type built on HGTV by that treehouse guy. The type built by you, or me, and our kids, or […]

We have promised some friends a wooded corner of our property to use in tree-house experiments.   We already have a tree-house in progress of our own and the thought of potentially having another one fills my head with thoughts of how much fun we can have up in the trees (I want to connect […]

Envy is almost getting the best of me.  One of my favorite regular bloggers has recently gone on an adventure that I long to embark upon (again) myself.  In February, Gabrielle Blair of Design Mom moved her family to France for a year.  In addition to her regular posts, she is also now sharing the […]

The snow is falling outside for the first time this year and already I am longing for the days of summer (the days that I feel I was cheated of a bit this year).  We built a tree platform a couple years ago that is is lovely, but we are always looking to improve it.  […]

This weekend was the final act of a project that has been on my mind in my que for over a year and half. It all started with a visit from my parents when my dad made the first steps toward our eventual tree house. (oh — when I say final act…I mean final act […]
