The whole reason why I started my blog, originally called Dagmar’s momsense (making sense of motherhood) ten years ago, was to be a resource for moms about attachment parenting, breastfeeding, green and healthy living.

Have you ever slept in a charming attic bedroom in a farmhouse or cottage? Have you ever dreamed about turning your attic into a sweet bedroom? Then you are in for a treat: here are many examples of the most adorable attic bedrooms, cottage and farmhouse style.

I’m sitting on the couch, eating chips with spinach and kale Greek yogurt dip, and watching one of my favorite shows, Fixer Upper.

Joanna has my dream job: she’s a blogger and designer who styles homes with rustic and shabby chic farmhouse decor. Her husband Chip is a carpenter/contractor and works alongside with her on the homes.
