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 [...]
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 friends! We hope you are having a good week, and are enjoying some beautiful weather, as we are here in Gettysburg. As summer winds down and we wistfully kiss those long days good-bye, we can’t help but anticipate the change of seasons...and fall decorating. Who out There Loves a Pretty Fall Porch? Do 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 [...]
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. [...]
