First name Ursula, middle name (might as well be) "I-bet-I-can-make-it-myself", last name Carmona. Welcome to my home! I live in Northeast Ohio just off Lake Erie, I love its beaches, but hate the snow that comes with it in the winter. I have the most awesome job in the world as a stay-at-home wife to an intelligent handsome (albeit handy-less) man, and a homeschooling mom to our three sweet girls.
Most of the things in this house have been made by me, or drastically altered by me. I just can't leave well enough alone! I'm a handy wannabe, and a lover of all things beautiful.
Truth be told, I have expensive taste and no money, I'm a wanna-be neat freak though my house didn't get that memo, and a blissfully bold DIY'er with a determined can-do attitude.

Naturally I find myself a bit at a loss as to how to clean up my hot-mess house, but I'm saying "bring it on" to the challenge. I am convinced that organization is the answer to creating a lovely house, and a fantastic home, where my family can grow into an even more incredible family!
Well, here goes nothing...
So, you want to know MORE about me?
Well...
I'm a rambler. Which is why I emphasis the main point, and
also another reason I blog -to spare my poor husband. I seem outgoing, but I feel
awkward when I meet new people. I'm silly on the inside, but I like to seem
poised. I'm old
fashioned in
the face of modernism, and I'm a touch cheeky in the face
of old fashioned. I have just enough perfectionist in me to be miserable
with my discombobulated ways. I love my geek husband
and three cute girly girls, and think home making is the best job
in the world. I believe God is the utmost authority, and when there is a question, that is
always why.
About This Blog:
This blog is about the process it takes to fulfill a dream, a definite work-in-progress.
It's not just a dream home I'm trying to make for myself and my family, it's a an idea that encompasses so much more. It's about creating a space that encourages family gathering and togetherness, fosters cleanliness, order, creativity, peace, and even loving kindness.
In this process of creating, my family and I are also being created! Our characters are being built from the ground up as we develop qualities such as consistency, perserverence, patience, contentment, frugality, cooperation, and more. These are the things that truly make a home. These are the things worthy of pursuit.
