    All Things July 4th

    ByMary Crozier July 2, 2025July 2, 2025

    We always look forward to being at our cabin for the July 4th holiday. It is much cooler in the mountains of Arizona and this area has a nice small town feel. The highlight is the July 4th parade, which started many years ago by a wonderful neighbor who believed this holiday needed proper celebrating….

    Transforming an Outdoor Space from Blah to Beautiful

    ByMary Crozier August 19, 2024August 20, 2024

    Now is a great time of year to look for outdoor furniture bargains! Therefore, I take this opportunity to transform a deck space at our mountain cabin. For years, this area remained unused, and is quite frankly, blah and boring. Come and see how I transform this space into something beautiful for under $300. Reworking…
