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.

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 [...]
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? [...]
Who’s ready for summer? Although spring just arrived, we can’t help but think of sunny summer days spent outside doing our favorite activities. We’ll be ready for the pool in no time, which brings us back to our pool house. If you read our last post about the pool house, we talked a little about [...]
At HartLand, we keep an eye out for all the deals. With so many great stores out there, it is sometimes hard to keep track of them yourself, so that is where we come to the rescue! With the weather getting nicer, we thought it would be helpful to focus on outdoor furniture and decor. [...]
