Itch to Switch
My first blog post of 2019! We’re already 3/4 way into the first month and I’m already behind on my blogging…good thing I didn’t make that a resolution. The New Year always feels like a good time to start fresh and try something new…
Our Home for the Holidays
Topic of the day: CHRISTMAS IS ONE WEEK AWAY….then before we know it BOOM, 2019. I wish I could hit pause for a few days just to bake cookies, watch Elf on repeat and make a snowman…not that we have any snow, it is…
My Fall Decor
Happy Halloween! It’s hard to belive my second favorite month of the year (first is December) is almost over. Mother Nature has even been cooperating these last few weeks so it has actually felt like fall…better late than never I suppose. Since last week I…

Mom’s Green Thumb: Indoor Edition
Courtesy of my Mom, Jeanette (because I did not inherit her green thumb)… Last Spring Becky asked me to write a post about outdoor plants and flowers, so I did. Now, she asked me to write about indoor plants, so I will do that as…
