If you've been following my journey with the flip house, you know that I'm always on the hunt for the perfect finishing touches. And let me just put it out there: Amazon is the MVP when it comes to farmhouse lighting. Yes, you read that right—Amazon, the online marketplace with everything from A to Z, is my go-to for lighting fixtures that add that rustic, cozy charm we all love in a farmhouse setting.

You might be wondering, "Why Amazon?" Well, let me tell you, the lighting options available are not just good; they are exceptional. And the best part? The prices won't burn a hole in your pocket. It's like stumbling upon a hidden thrift store gem, but online!

As someone who's incredibly visual, I often find myself hesitant to click that "Buy Now" button without seeing the product in person. We've all been there, right? The fear of the unknown, especially regarding home décor, is real. But let me assure you, the fixtures I've chosen for the flip house have exceeded my expectations. They're not just fixtures but statement pieces that bring the room to life.

Now, let's talk trends. Farmhouse lighting is all about creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Think distressed wood, wrought iron, and vintage-inspired bulbs. These elements work harmoniously to create a sense of nostalgia, a nod to a simpler time, while maintaining modern functionality.

1. Pendant Lights: These are perfect for kitchen islands or dining tables. They offer focused lighting and add an element of sophistication.
2. Chandeliers: Who says chandeliers are only for mansions? A rustic chandelier can be the centerpiece of your living room, creating a dramatic focal point.
3. Wall Sconces: Ideal for hallways or flanking a bathroom mirror, these add subtle elegance without overwhelming the space.
4. Lanterns: These can be hung or placed on a surface. They're versatile and add a touch of whimsy.

I'll be linking some of the fixtures that have transformed our flip house and some other farmhouse lighting options that have caught my eye. Trust me; you'll want to add them to your cart immediately!

If you decide to take the plunge and purchase any of these fixtures, please share your photos! I would love to see how these pieces elevate your space and make it uniquely yours.

I'm really trying to get my son, Braxton, into gardening this year.  I think gardening is an important & fun skill to learn.

I've talked before about my love for Mind & Soil & the mental health benefits of gardening.  I know I get a lot of stress relief from gardening & it's just so fun to me!  I hope I can pass some of that along to Braxton.  He's still pretty young so he needs a lot of behind the scenes help from me to get his plants going but he's getting there!

This year we seed started zinnias for B & they're doing way better than expected.  It's only been a few days but they're already coming up!  It's looking like a good year for zinnias!  We're planning on putting them in his kids garden bed.  I'm looking forward to beautiful blooms all summer long!  

This is my first year seed starting flowers & I didn't know what to expect.  I was pleasantly surprised when it did so well.  Now I want to seed start all the flowers!

Before writing this post, I didn't really think kids gardening was a thing.  I figured I'd go on Amazon & struggle to find a couple things.  But...gardening with kids is totally a thing!

It's almost time to carve pumpkins!

Last year was our first year carving pumpkins in a long time.  It was our first year with our foster kiddo so it was very important to start all the traditions with him.

I think we just used knives last year to carve out the pumpkins.  Our kiddo drew what he wanted on the pumpkin & we cut it out for him.

This year, it might be time to upgrade our pumpkin carving supplies!

I headed over to Amazon & found they have a huge selection of pumpkin carving supplies.  I love that they have supplies for all skill levels.

Below are some of the pumpkin carving kits I found on Amazon.
