When we moved to the farmhouse, almost two years ago, our Harlee-girl was ten years old. She was (still is) VERY into basketball. We had recently redecorated her room at the old house in a basketball theme...including a huge LeBron James cutout on the wall.
We had the best intentions, but... Mr. Farmhouse hasn't gotten around to building that bedroom wall yet. LeBron has been traded to the Lakers. And now, our Harlee-girl is a 12-year-old who does still love the game of basketball, but asked for a "grown up room" for her birthday. So goodbye to (most) of the basketball decor...and hello to her own pre-teen space. Harlee's room sits on the west side of the upstairs and although it seemed like the smallest area when we first moved in, it really makes for a pretty large bedroom...just kind of long and rectangular-shaped. Here are some "before pictures" of her bedroom. We painted the paneling and added a "closet" area. The original basketball decor can be seen here, as well.
Over the last year-and-a-half, Harlee expressed the desire to get rid of the loft bed and start to move away from her basketball-themed bedroom. So...that's what we did. Of course, her basketball curtains are still there and she still had to have her MU Women's Basketball poster and favorite Duke memorabilia! So without further ado...Harlee's new room!
I love how even with the "grown up" parts of Harlee's new room, I can still see that little toddler who said, "Go Duke!" over and over for her Uncle G...and I love that her baby blanket still lays folded at the end of her bed.
Feeling sentimental here at the farmhouse tonight, Hannah ❤️🏡❤️

Especially in the winter. And this winter has been a rough one. From sub-zero temperatures to snow & ice, keeping animals fed and alive has NOT been easy. To be honest, we have lost a few calves this winter... We have spent money trying to keep other calves alive... We even had our bottle calf "Patty" spend four days and three nights in the farmhouse basement (with the two older girls).
And yet...all over the Midwest, farmers have been out in this junk all day.
Mr. Farmhouse will work until 4:30 and then get in the truck and go feed cows and make sure they're all safe and sound before coming home at dark. Ice will be need to be chopped. Hay bales will need to be unwound. New babies might need to be taken inside and warmed up. Some farm days are enjoyable. Some farm days are miserable. All farm days are hard work. Saying a prayer from the farmhouse for those out working in this weather and thinking about our farmers, Hannah ❤️🏡❤️ |
