Getting Back To The Basics

A place to show the changes in our yard, our garden, our home, and our life.

About Me

Growing up in rural Bellingham, WA I'm not exactly used to the hustle and bustle of Seattle living but I'm getting the hang of it. After graduating college in 2006 I landed my first job in Seattle and haven't managed to leave since. Some day we may move out and commute into Seattle for work, but for now we live in our first home in the heart of Seattle.

In our home lives myself (Nichole), my husband Rob, my two pups named Sadie & Violet, and two neglected cats named Thomas and Mushi. We hope to slowly remodel our old craftsman style house over the next few years. At the same time we're transforming our backyard into a little urban garden oasis - a place to go to forget how close we are to our neighbors. A little bit of the farm right in my back yard. And a hot tub.
