  • Now that the dust and noise has settled, it's finally my turn to decorate and renovate parts of our charming countryside home that I've been waiting to tackle. In this video we will also be taking you on a short excursion to Lavender Fields, located at Pumpkin Blossom Farm, located in Warner, NH and of course a few garden updates.

    I’m always so sad when I come to the end of your videos, but it seemed like this time I really felt the emotion. Seeing you walk around in the fields with your beautiful dress on, and it’s easy to see how much Ben loves you by the way he catches you with the camera. Y’all looked like you were having a wonderful time together-and I especially loved your walk in the woods wearing rubber boots with a lovely Summer dress. I’m beyond happy to see that ‘our’ beloved Willow is feeling stronger! Thanks for sharing your flower gardens in all their glory, and the little 🐝, so sweet. I’m so happy for you that getting that gorgeous kitchen window in finally worked out. It’s amazing! Hoping you’ll have a great week. 😘

Looking at your beautiful home and gardens always amazes me. I am so confused by how you have done so much in such little time. You must be running on one of those little energizer bunny batteries!

    You hired me to help you run a bed & breakfast that you opened at Sugarwood. You had a little restaurant on the property too that was open only during certain hours. I would go out into the gardens and pick the fresh produce of the days menu, and I would clean the rooms; serve the guests. We ran this place like a well oiled machine! 😊❤🎉
    And then I woke up...😭
