Dirt Road Adventures – A Simple Life

Y’all I have so much I want to share with you today! Hold on to your seats.

This week on Dirt Road Adventures – A Simple Life, I’m sharing what happened this past week, but also taking a look back at a post from this time last year.

Crazy Thing About Living a Simple Life

A year ago, I shared my heart with you in the blog post, Crazy Thing About Living A Simple Life.

It’s not the best written post and it doesn’t follow the rules of “how to write a blog post” that I’ve learned over this past year.

However, it contains some valuable life lessons that we all need to be reminded of.

Like my Mom’s Motto – “Use it or Lose it”

Living a Simple Life doesn’t mean slowing down.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I can’t sit still. My mind is always coming up with one adventure after another and dragging my hubby along for the ride.

I hope you’ll go back and read Crazy Thing About Living A Simple Life when you have a few minutes.

It’s really a look back at “why we did what we did”!

Regardless of your age, I hope there’s a message in there that you can remember as we live our hustle and bustle lives.

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

I was featured this week on HOME BNCBest Flower Arrangement Ideas. They included my post for How to Force Blooms for Winter Flowers! Such an exciting honor.

Here is my post from Tuesday, and as you can see instead of a simple life, I’m always in project mode. 5 Ways to Decorate a Plate Rack, includes some of my favorite plate racks as well as my own.


Plus, we saved $36.00 by making two of these vent extenders. You can also find out why you should use a vent extender under your furniture.

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

Each week, there are so many wonderful blog posts, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL

Such a great roundup of inspiration, Rachel! I really appreciate you including my easy robin egg diy in the mix. Just pinned your spring branches (they're gorgeous) and I'm beyond excited about your feature too. It's definitely well deserved! Hope your day is a fun one, CoCo
