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…
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…
When you are jonesing for something new
Once it’s determined that you are – in fact – staying put in your home for a while, it can be both simultaneously settling and unsettling. Well, if you’re anything like me, that is. It’s settling because you have spent so many years anticipating when your next big relocation will take place, with so many…
I #YOLO, do you?
The sweet, funny and incredibly-hip Empress first introduced me to the concept of #YOLO back in June. Then my uber-awesome biz partner, KLZ, wrote her very own #YOLO list last week. Now, if you live in TN, KY or NC, YoLo probably means a post-dinner frozen yogurt and gelato treat. But for those hip to…
Our Mini Kitchen Remodel
We somewhat-remodeled our kitchen recently. Nothing major in the sense that the layout remains unchanged, the appliances are still the same and the cabinets stayed put. But the changes were big enough to “pack a punch”. Because we actually live in this house, I wasn’t going to pretend like our counters are always cleaned off…
Why I Would Make an Awful “House Hunter’s” Guest
In my L.B.B. (Life Before Blogging), I spent way too many hours a day gazing at the TV, absorbing countless hours of HGTV programming. Home remodeling shows, home staging shows, home valuation shows, how-to-design-a-room-to-look-like-an-expensive-designer-created-it-when-in-reality-you-only-spent-50-cents shows, and my hands-down, all-time favorite, clear out the DVR to make room for it show – House Hunters. I’ve been…
