My baby’s name is Hudson and when I think of his name, I think of cozy wood stoves, thick plaid jackets and a warm cabin by a lake. Mostly likely this is because of the popular Canadian association of the Hudson Bay Company. And this cozy, cabin theme keeps coming back to me as I plan his big boy room in my head….
I attempted to make what interior designers call a mood board to show my theme/what on earth I am talking about….this is much harder than it looks! But here is my best shot….
This is the headboard that I think I might attempt to make for my boy’s room. Granted, he’s only 10 months old and won’t be moving for probably another year or so…but it doesn’t hurt to think/plan ahead!
I want to paint the walls a green…NOT John Deere green, though, thank you very much! (My husband would LOVE that!) I was thinking something along this line…
And I have a dresser similar to this one (minus the numbers)…I picked it up for $1 at an auction. All it needs are handles/pulls. Any suggestions?
Of course, a Hudson’s Bay Company blanket….
What else would work? I was thinking of using some Native American postcards as art…how, I’m not too sure. Would it be too much to add snowshoes on a wall? I like the cabin theme, but don’t want it to be overkill.
Thanks!
Love…
P.S. Last day to enter my giveway!! I’ll announce the winner tomorrow morning…goodluck!

This week’s look is most definitely fall. The leaves are changing, there is a crispness to the air and the boys are going over the harvest equipment with a fine tooth comb. Kate Hudson is one of my favorites and this look is TERRIFIC! There is actually nothing I would change or add to this look…it’s Farmer’s Trophy Wife fabulous all on its own! Enjoy and hope you had a great long weekend!
p.s. don’t forget to enter my giveaway contest!! Contest will close tomorrow night, I’ll announce the winner Wednesday!

On the farm over the past couple of weeks, we my husband and uncle have been pulling the harvest equipment out and giving them the once over….this led to Troy’s uncle getting a new (to us) combine! Fun stuff. It should be here later this week and we’ll be saying goodbye to this one…
(p.s. don’t ask me any details about the new one…all I know is it’s green and newer…this is how much I pay attention…)
The boys washed off the sprayer…
And this is my 10 month old backing it up. 
The boys also stacked bales…..
I think the baby was “a lot” of help….
Here are a few of the bales we have for this winter…this was a good hay year!
We also got to jam in a quick trip to Kalispell and Whitefish, Montana! It was a great trip, saw lots of county and did a lot of shopping. By the end of the trip our wildlife tally was a lot of deer, several elk, 3 black bears and 1 cougar! So amazing to see all these animals out in the wild…my highlight was the cougar…it crossed the road right in front of us as we were entering back into Canada. I had never seen one before and so close! Yikes! And the black bears were fabulous too. Up to this trip all the real live bears I had ever seen were dead ones on the side of the road…
Of course, I didn’t take a single picture…but my darling mother-in-law did, so if she sends them to me, I’ll post some!
Have a great weekend and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!!

If you recall, I pickled some carrots a few weeks back…and we tried them this week!
SOOOO GOOD!! I am so happy that it worked! Although I’ve been told it’s hard to mess up pickling…but with my track record, it wouldn’t have surprised me….
*I was just reminded that I forgot to post the recipe I used!! So sorry! Here is the link…the only change I made was to use fresh dill from our garden instead of dry…*
Love…

This week’s look is not 100% accurate. I mean….I LOVE this look, but didn’t really research it because it’s not me. I would never be able to pull this off out on the farm. But I still WISH I could…..and that counts for something right?!
