To Grandma’s House we go! (Wednesday Link Party #153)
Welcome to the To Grandma’s House We Go Link Party #153. I was so excited for this last weekend, I haven’t had a TON of time to really work on my house and with the weather already turning I took this last Monday off so I could have three days to really get some things done before winter. And then Saturday morning rolled around and I had a bonfire in my throat, I couldn’t swallow, I hurt everywhere and all I wanted to do was cry but it hurt too much to cry. It hit me so hard and so fast it was just crazy! My high tempt that afternoon hit 102.9. My best friend was seconds from throwing me in a cold shower or rushing me to the ER.
I got my fever down and obviously I lived through it though there were several moments when I didn’t really want to. My fever broke late Sunday and I finally found the right ratio of vitamins, salt gargling, honey lemon tea and over the counter cold medication that I could actually sleep.
So, I managed to get back to work bright and early on Tuesday so I never missed a day!
Not sure if I’m glad or mad that my summer fever landed on my three day weekend. On one hand I didn’t miss any work on the other hand I live in MN and losing any weekend in the summer is just such a bummer!
Anyway, I’m glad I lived to tell the tale lol now, on to the party!
This blogger party is all about you sharing your posts about homemade, homemaking, DIY, recycling, upcycling, before and afters (of rooms, furniture, whatever), build projects, vintage, any kind of creative, frugal, time saving, money saving or green advice, canning and old fashioned recipes. Going back to simpler times, simpler days where we used all that we had and never bought new until there was absolutely no choice.
There will be features every week and they will be pinned on the To Grandma’s House We Go Pinterest page. The party will be shared on Facebook and Twitter and will be in the Grandma’s House Weekly DIY Newsletter!

I’m Tarah!
It’s been a hell of a ride since I started this blog and renovated and moved into this old farm house back in 2015. I got married, divorced, lost my doggo soul mate, spent two years as a single gal, remodeled everything, threw my back out countless times and was even found by an amazing guy in my own backyard! (The story behind Storyhardt Farm.)
Around here we’re totally fearless when it comes to bettering our home. We love to refinish old furniture, re-purpose old pieces, build it from scratch and totally renovate anything that needs it! If we can do it – so can you. We’ve got some serious plans for this old farm and, for first time ever, I have a real partner!
This is gonna be so much fun!
You can also find out more about the amazing Grandma behind this blog who moved in to this old farmhouse with my Grandpa nearly 70 years ago!
Oh wow, summer bugs are the worst! So glad you are back in tip top shape! This week I’ve shared all about the elderberry…#1, a surprising 14 Elderberry Benefits that go far beyond cold & flu treatment (sorry this wasn’t sooner for you with your bug!), as well as #2 How To Prepare For Cold & Flu Season With Elderberry Tincture. Happy your feeling better and thank you for hosting!
Thanks Suzan, I’m bookmarking all of your shares just in case, for next time!
Sorry to hear about your illness!! Glad you are better now. I’m sharing a cute way to use up cucumber produce.

Thanks Liberty! I definitely needed some help with what to do with all my abundance of cucumbers!
Thank you, Tarah, so much for the feature. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. I think it is the worst when you get a cold in the summer. As if it is not hot enough!
Yep, so so so glad that’s over lol now I’m crawling the walls to make up for my three days of not moving! Thanks for sharing with us, I always look forward to your posts!

You garage looks like a challenge, but knowing what you hav done in your home, I bet you have a plan to implement and it will be great!! Your grandma would be proud!
Thank you for hosting! Stop by if you have a chance.
Thanks so much Karren! I’m wondering now that you mentioned it if that cold front that just moved in wasn’t actually what may have caused my sickness. It was a major change in temperature that’s for sure! Always love to see your posts, thanks for coming by 🙂
