Before walking through what would end up being our fourth home, we had only seen the paper floor plan. Our builder had most of their models built and for sale so you could walk through them while you “shopped” homes. Before our third home went on the market, we knew the Sullivan floor plan was…

The Story of our 4th House, Part 2: Choosing the Best Floor Plan
It’s no secret that we are obsessed with analyzing floor plans and walking through new construction as it’s being built. Not only would I place both of these activities at the top of our “How We Enjoy Spending Our Time” and “Things To Do After We Eat Our 4:30pm Senior Citizens’ Dinners” lists, but they…
Things I Love – and Hate – About Apartment Living
If everything goes as planned, we will have inhabited our furnished rental apartment for 2 nights shy of 4 weeks. Moving to an apartment was a necessary step and best case scenario for the short period of time between the sale of our (previous) home and the purchase of our new build. It’s been a…
The Story of our 4th House, Part I
It’s (again) been a month since I published on BBCD. But this time I think I have a very, very good reason as to why! WE’VE MOVED AND ARE BUILDING A NEW HOUSE! Those who saw the SOLD sign photo on Facebook a couple days ago learned about our house sale then, but this is…
Things I Don’t Understand: March 2013
There are a lot of things that don’t make sense to me in this crazy world of ours. Some are silly, some are serious. Many will always remain a confusing mystery to me. But all are things I simply can’t make sense of in my very logical, practical brain. On this 27th day of March…
Final Adjustments
As we headed into the holiday season (yes, back at the end of 2012), Craig and I finally pushed ahead with some final changes we wanted to make around the house. These were changes that had bothered us for some time and were the final items on the Things We Need to To Do to…
It’s Been a Month
Wow! My last post here was January 23rd. I have n.e.v.e.r gone this long in between posts in the 4.5 years I’ve been writing here. Needless to say, times have changed. As I sit in front of my screen, I can’t help but reminisce about my early blogging days and how I pushed to post…
Why “Cute” is a Four Letter Word
She’s my “small but mighty”. She’s also my sensitive one. She has personality quirks that drive me BONKERS right now, but that I am certain will serve her well throughout life. She’s passionate, determined, and always comfortable telling you exactly what she’s thinking. Basically, she’s me. But one big way that we are very different…
My #FirstWorldProblems
As I laughed at myself while posting to Facebook and Twitter last week about the inconvenience I faced due to the battery in my car key pad being out, I started to think about all the #FirstWorldProblems we “endure” day in and day out here in the US. You know, things that aggravate us when…
When you’ve hit your limbo limit
If your life is one that includes a “corporate relocation” factor, your mindset and views on the future are vastly different than those of individuals, couples and families without it. I’m not saying that it’s good, bad or otherwise – just that so many conversations and decisions of people who live the relocation life start…
