There are so many factors to consider when buying a home. If you're like me, you have a list of must-haves and a wish list of bonuses. You have a budget you need to stick to, maybe a school district you'd like to stay in. All of those are important, but there's one...
We've moved ten times in the course of our relationship, but this one is the most difficult move to date. Not only are we packing up an entire house, two adults, five dogs and moving halfway across the country...this time we've added a toddler to the mix. The...
Do you see that person peering through the bushes? It's me. I'll admit it. When we are thinking about buying a home, we set up camp and stalk it - morning, noon and night. Shoot, you're probably thinking this lady is way too hard core, and maybe a little creepy....
You know when the milk has gone bad in the fridge. You can smell the sour before you even do the taste test. But it's not as easy when it comes to your home. When does the kitchen start to spoil? Have the bathrooms gone moldy at the edges? Everything in your home...

Some occasions call for a nice bubbly, and some for a brewski, amIright? Same goes for your home. There are so many places you can save, I mean really save, and others where you should splurge. You've probably heard a thousand times that kitchens and baths sell...
Well that was provocative, no? I actually took a bath exactly one year and one week ago when I was trying to induce labor (it worked!). But before that, it really had been years. Who takes baths anymore? First, ain't nobody got time for that. Second, gross. Laying...
It took me about a year to learn how to say quinoa properly. Keen-wahh. Fancy. So what's this new design trend that I have a hard time pronouncing but am madly in love with and have been trying to replicate in my living space, for you know, ever?! Throwback to...
