HOME SWEET HOME {FIXER UPPER UPDATE}

In just over a month, we will have lived in our “new” house for one year. After we closed on the house, I shared a blog post on how we ended up choosing this as our new home. It wasn’t what we had originally planned, but sometimes things turn out even better than planned. I thought I would share a status update on our fixer upper one year later.

BEFORE

This is what the house looked like when we purchased it. While it looked good far away in photos, it was actually in need of quite a few repairs. The old wood shake roof (what was left on the roof) was badly in need of replacing. Gutters with too few downspouts caused improper draining and rotted fascia. The landscaping was dying out due to over crowding. The basement leaked after a hard rain. Our home just needed a little facelift to bring back her beauty.

As soon as the weather began to warm up this spring, we got started on her facelife.

AFTER

Ta-dah! The finished product..for now. My vision came to life just as I had pictured it. I love it! And best of all, we’ve had no more water in the basement after a good rain! There are still have several projects to wrap up – new exterior lighting, hardscaping in the front and back, landscaping, a cedar pergola, etc. But, that will have to wait until next summer.

To everyone that has stopped by, yelled from their vehicle while driving by, text, commented on social media, etc., thank you for your kind words and encouragement as we worked on the house. People we don’t even know were so kind to comment on the updates. It feels good to bring life back into our “not so new” home.

**Don’t mind the strips of missing lime wash. I still need to do touch ups after the old gutters were removed.**

WHAT’S FOR DINNER {JULY MENU PLANNER}

Ah, sweet summertime! There is nothing better than fresh vegetables from the garden.

I’m still living the Keto lifestyle. I’m down 24 pounds total and pretty much stalled there. I need to get back to strictly tracking my daily intake and ease up on the Keto sweet treats and I’m sure I’ll get back on the downward slide. The fresh summer veggies and herbs make it easy to make Keto friendly summer meals full of flavor that the whole family enjoys which makes my journey easier.

You’ll find that my dinner menu is Keto friendly. While I promise, most every recipe I try is delicious, if you don’t want the higher fat, low carb. meals, you can simply use the dinner ideas below and create your own regular/lower fat versions. The items with a * in the meal calendar below include recipe links.

For those interested in the Keto diet, these are the three main cookbooks I pulled my dinner ideas from (along with others from the internet). Click image to go to shopping link.

Here is what we are having for dinner this month. Directions on how to use this meal planner calendar below.

A FEW NOTES:

NOTE 1: The calendar below will change as the month change. If you are viewing this post after July, just use the < > buttons to click back to July 2018.

NOTE 2: Items marked with an (*) asterisk on the calendar below have recipe links you can refer to. Simply click the item and a recipe link will pop up.

KETO UPDATE + WHAT’S FOR DINNER {JUNE MEAL PLANNER}

Two and a half months on Keto and still at it. I’m down 22 pounds after a bit of a plateau at two months in. Nearly every recipe I try is tasty. My energy level is high. I no longer experience late afternoon drowsiness or daily headaches. And the biggest benefit I’ve noticed since starting Keto is naturally waking up earlier. If you know much about me, you know I have never been an early riser. Now I wake up at 7:00am or 7:30am ready to start the day. That is HUGE for me. So I’m going to continue on my Keto journey and reap the benefits with no final weight loss goal in mind. (Though I am trying to talk my husband into a nice beach somewhere to celebrate 30 pounds down but I’m not having much luck.)

I’m continuing this month’s dinner ideas with Keto meals. While I promise, most every recipe I try is delicious, if you don’t want the high fat meals, you can simply use the dinner ideas below and create your own regular/lower fat versions. If you do want to try Keto meals, the items with a * in the meal calendar below include recipe links.

If you are interested in the Keto diet, I learned the basics by reading the book “Simply Keto”. It is very good at explaining exactly what Keto entails, what are Keto-friendly foods and is full of great recipes. You can also learn tons by just googling “Keto diet”, as well.

Without further ado, here is what we are having for dinner this month:
