Amazing House Built Across a River

This rustic retreat was built right in the heart of Three Rivers, California near the entrance to Sequoia National Park where the enchantment of wildlife sightings runs wild. What also happens to run wild is the river that flows under this home, something that has never been done before or ever since! Kaweah Falls was originally designed in the 1940′s by one of Frank Wright’s very own students, but when the second homeowners moved in and remodeled they decided to add an addition to the home that floats over the river bank. Aside from a few cool interior features like a dining room with a glass floor view of the river, there is a footbridge over these waters that lead to a private deck where one can sit and listen to the sounds of fresh water skimming river rocks on the way down from a waterfall found right up the mountain. Check out the video below: The house is up for grabs for just under $2 Million.

Dispelling Myths About Homemaking A few years ago I came across an article bemoaning the job of homemaking. I don’t recall the source because I certainly didn’t bookmark it {big smile}. The author would have convinced me to negate homemaking as a career if I wasn’t already a homemaker and hadn’t experienced the truth and fineness of homemaking first hand. I believe these myths are worth airing out in the open once again. Myth Number One: You need to be rich or at least well off to be a homemaker or stay at home mama. Over the years I have kept a home on a very, very meager income (below the national poverty level and without public assistance)and on a very spacious income. Myth Number Two: Being a Homemaker is bad for your marriage. Excuse my sarcasm for a moment. One of my pet peeves (a gentle way of putting it) is hearing people say that they don’t have the patience to be around children – as if God shorted them. I cannot even imagine a good argument for this. P.S. By Hannah, Cultivating Home Hannah More Posts - Website
