GBF: Whirlwind Week Recap ~
http://goosebumpfactor.blogspot.com/2014/03/whirlwind-week-recap.html
Saturday, March 8, 2014. The last week was so jammed with "STUFF", I had no time to breathe! This was extremely evident by the 5 loads of laundry I finished on Thursday night.WOW! Do you ever have those weeks where someone asks, "What have you been up to? And you really have no clue.but, you know it was busy? I start to feel like I have memory loss, when people ask me and I can't remember.but I know it was busy! Then, I sit down and realize what. I did, and get tired thinking about it. So, what did we do?

GBF: Summer Projects at Thistle Hill Ranch
http://goosebumpfactor.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-projects-at-thistle-hill-ranch.html
Monday, July 6, 2015. Summer Projects at Thistle Hill Ranch. Our first year at the Thistle Hill Ranch has just passed. It's been an amazing year here. There's so much we've accomplished, and so many projects we've finished. I'm so happy we made the desicion to move here, even though we've had so much to learn, in a short amount of time. My Grandpa used to say, "If you Love the Place, It Doesn't Feel Like Work"! The before and after of the property is shocking! Here are a few before and after photos.

Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Need Some Simple Spring Tablescape Ideas? I am always changing my tablescapes. I think it gives a renewed feeling to your home without changing EVERYTHING! I have to confess we don’t eat at the table all of the time due to our hectic schedules; but, the table is always ready. This is our table at home…Always changing! Great Example of the centerpiece being the color for the table. Http:/ c497280.r80.cf2.rackcdn.com/2010/04/placesetting3 thumb.jpg. That is another thing you can f...

In My House: White Floors - Two Years On
http://inmyhousedesign.blogspot.com/2012/07/white-floors-two-years-on.html
Sunday, July 15, 2012. White Floors - Two Years On. The kitchen at Seafarers Cottage 2. A reader who remembered a post I did nearly two years ago about white-washed floor boards asked me for a wear-and-tear update. This was a new but straight forward one that I have been experimenting with - slightly diluted white paving paint. This gives you hardy coverage but lets the wood grain show through. Well, I have to say, there is probably no better test than at a holiday-rented beach house! The look for you.

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Its a HOT Summer at Thistle Hill Ranch! I found this on Pinterest and thought it summed up Living in the "SOUTH"! My Pinterest and Instagram accounts have links here on my blog. I love the idea of living in the South! Southern living, sounds like porch swings, nice weather, ice tea sipping on porches, and long lovely summer days. And I feel like Bonnie."Nooooooo, not 100* Heat and Heat Index! I can't take it! The heat is almost unbareable! Can you say YUK? 1 Clean and Organize.

GBF: How or Why Did We Start Homeschooling?
http://goosebumpfactor.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-or-why-did-we-start-homeschooling.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. How or Why Did We Start Homeschooling? I get asked A LOT, why we are homeschooling this year. Well, I think 3 months ago, when we started, I was still feeling the flip-flop feeling in my stomach when people asked me. I guess it was fear of disapproval and anxiety that those that knew us as Carroll Dragons would think we gave up or were too picky. Well, I QUIT! I was tired of acting like cattle being herded to slaughter; yet, acting as if nothing was wrong. And then, they placed ...

I have been going from closet to closet, drawer to drawer, reorganizing and purging. Yesterday, I finished load after load of laundry, and started looking around our living room.that's never good. My husband says he can never go blind, because I change the house too much! You can never just rest! I put the table run...

indiani's home: Where Should I Put My Books?
http://indiani-homeandstuff.blogspot.com/2011/04/where-should-i-put-my-books.html
Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Where Should I Put My Books? If you love reading (and collecting books) like I do, then there must be at least a time when you just don't know where to put your books. I often felt it - usually after an impulsively book shopping. My room is not that big enough to be stocked with piles and piles of books. Or their bookcases. And that, sometimes, shelves and bookcases are just either to plain or too much to be seen. For magazines and papers. It comes with a stair! Last year we ar...

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Summer is Almost Here at Thistle Hill Ranch! I can't believe it's taken me so long to post on my Blog! Rushing to finish up with school so they don't go to far into June, rains putting a damper on every ranch duty, {Pun Intended}, and technical difficulties. I had issues with storage on my phone, uploaded photos to my laptop and apparently didn't know that would delete them from my blog! So bizarre. Sometimes I hate technology, and my lack of knowledge in the field. UGH! They liv...
