Little Ranch House (Backyard Edition)

 

Happy Late Spring Everyone,

Tak terasa kita sudah memasuki pertengahan tahun 2024, time flies so fast. Dan tahun ini juga menjadi tahun ke 3 buat saya spend time as homemaker during summer time till late fall. Saya sekarang ambil kerjaan seasonal temen - temen, jadi saya bekerja sekitar 4 to 6 months per year. The rest of the months saya habiskan waktu dirumah bersama suami or ikut suami traveling ketika dia harus kerja keluar kota. The first year was hard, but now I kinda enjoy it... 😊

Having "Me Time" and focusing more on our little ranch house. Did I tell you guys that our house was built in 1920 ? Benar teman teman, rumah kita ini umurnya sudah lebih dari 100 tahun, lebih tepatnya tahun ini umurnya 104. Sedikit cerita tentang rumah ini, setelah balik dari Indonesia suami saya langsung looking for a house buat kita starting our family. Jadi ini rumah pertama kita, sejak saya menginjakan kaki di Amerika tahun 2012, we stay here and never move...LOL!!! 😄

A house just a house untill you turn it into a HOME, that what I am doing right now. Well, it took quite sometime for us to make this house as a home. Pasti kalian semua pernah ngerasain awal - awal pindah ke hunian baru, it just a place but you want to turn it in to a home that you feel comfortable with. Banyak banget transformasi perubahan dari our little ranch house ini sejak pertama kali kita pindah disini. Adding this and that to make it homie, at first focusing saya itu cuma didalam rumah, karena most of the time kita kerjakan, jadi mikirnya pulang kerja pengen berasa nyama yaa didalam rumah. But after I resigned from my 9 - 5 job and transition to seasonal job. When I am home, I want to be outside more, especially when the weather really nice. Karena saya memakai hijab, I told my husband that I want little privacy fence in our backyard. My husband is not handy but my father in law is. Jadi waktu visit mertua, saya bilanglah ke mama and papa mertua klo saya pengen punya privacy fence in the backyard, saya mau keluar ga harus pake hijab gitu. Mereka agree to help, that how father and son fence project starting...hahaha

Kita tinggal di residential jadi ga harus lapor city or HOA (Home Owner Associate) untuk bangun little fence, kecuali renovasi besar baru harus apply for city permit. Jadi begitulah temen temen, cerita awal pembangunan fence ini...😄

I am so happy, karena saya bisa menanam bunga and having little garden too. Jadi backyard kita yang ga ada fence nya bisa buat main klo ada temen kita datang bersama anaknya, plus suami saya juga bangun fire place buat S'more an rame rame sama temen temen kita. Oia, ini sedikit penampakan my little garden...😊 My Little Garden

I think that's it for now. I'll be back to update more ... Have A Good Day Everyone !

Semoga kalian enjoy having a "Me Time" at home, because I Do !!! 😍

Regards,
