Graham recently had a stomach flu. We’ve been there before, so my first aid kit was stocked like a pro. Every first aid kit needs one of these simple items that never expires and is even reusable! You can’t beat that. Here’s the story. Last year was a bit gruesome for us. Long story short, …
I am a sucker for kitchen buying appliances as much as the next girl. Do I have a Kitchenaid Mixer in my basement storage? Why, yes. Yes, I do. And do I have an entire cabinet in my kitchen solely devoted to appliances? Yes. Do I need a butler’s pantry just to hold my appliances …
I got food poisoning this week. It was fast and mean. And I’m pretty sure charcoal saved me from major pain and agony. And it isn’t the first time. Back in the day when I was a kid, I felt like I lived on pepto bismol. I drank that stuff about once a week for …
If you’re just starting home staging, check out this post about the basic process I used to stage our house to sell in 36 hours and get multiple offers.

I am the kind of girl that always wears makeup when I go out. Grocery store or date night, it doesn’t matter. I’m going to at least wear eyebrows, eyelashes and cheeks. I do switch it up if it’s a more casual day, and I do skip makeup when I’m at home all day. Except …
What you need to know about burns before you get burned. I’ve been cooking since I was 6 or 7. And I’ve been burned cooking since about that time. Haha. When I was a kid, I always held the cookie sheet wrong and got burns on my arms. When I got a burn, we tried …
Some secrets in life you wish you knew sooner. Like how to clean paint off glass or out of clothes. I read that you can get acrylic/latex (water based) paint out of clothes with simple rubbing alcohol. You just dab it on and the paint comes right off. A miracle I wish I would have …
