Ahh the great outdoors! Having ample outdoor space was the main reason we set out to find HartLand. With quite a few acres to enjoy, we love to be outside on the porch, in the woods, fields, creek, and of course in the pool. We are so looking forward sharing HartLand with you!
Well hello again! It has been quite a long time since we last got together. It wasn’t a planned hiatus; it just sort of happened with all kinds of changes going on. We welcomed little Alayna Marie Hart near the end of May (biggest blessing ever), I resigned my teaching position at school, and HartLand [...]
When you’re out walking or driving, have you ever noticed a house and said to yourself, “That house would look so pretty if they would only _____________” (fill in the blank)? Or you think, “well, it could be pretty if they would…do something” (but you don’t know what that something is). I do this ALL [...]
We did a blog post last year called “What Came First the Chicken or the Egg” that wasn’t about chickens at all. It was about choosing paint and fabric. This time, however, we’re actually talking about real chickens. So...what came first, the chicken or the egg? Even if you’re not a backyard chicken enthusiast, you [...]
Hello again From the HartLand! This week we’re so excited to FINALLY reveal our completed pool house. Yes, it took way longer than expected, but it was worth the wait! To recap... What is the Purpose of a Pool House? The main reason we want a pool house is to keep wet people from dripping [...]

Here’s my 30-second list: homey, comfortable, family, friends, land, white, shiplap, chickens, horses, work, hay, kitchen, porch, swing, relax. [...]
Monica here! We’re going to take a short break from our usual format and ask you, dear readers, for information. We would really appreciate your feedback, tips, and any information you can provide about raising chickens. I Want Chickens! Cheyenne Doesn’t. Brittany is on the fence. People seem to be all over the place opinion-wise [...]
Hi, Brittany here! If you saw on our instagram, I recently threw a bridal shower for my sister, Katelyn, who is getting married this August 2021. Unfortunately, she is a “covid bride'' and was supposed to get married in June of 2020. Me, being the maid of honor and sister, wanted to make sure Katelyn [...]
Do you have an herb garden at your house? Maybe just a few herbs in pots? Whatever you have, if you are new to growing herbs like us, you have probably looked at a plant a few times and thought, “hmm what is that one again?” Having your herbs properly labeled will help you know [...]
Hello! Brittany here. If you remember, my husband Corey and I bought a house in April of 2020. The previous homeowner kept good care of the house, but it was not our cup of tea. We finished all of the inside projects and decided it was time to focus on some exterior projects. Today I [...]
Once the weather warms up, we love to be outside sipping iced tea on the back porch or enjoying the view from our front porch swing. However, when the weather suddenly starts feeling like Florida everglades, what could be better on a blistering summer day than the shimmering blue water of your backyard swimming pool? [...]
