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…
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…
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…
Because Clutter is Taking Over my House
If, theoretically, I were to count all the times we’ve moved in the past 10 years, including all of the apartments we’ve rented, that theoretical number would be 5. That theoretical 5 makes the theoretical average length of time in any one place, 2. The birth of Miss Madelyn Rose falls almost perfectly in line…
Pfft! – You Call THAT a “Snow Storm?”
Memphis Round #1 + Memphis Round #2 = a total of 6.5 years (and 6.5 winters) living in the South. A Yankee by birth, this girl knows her snow. Including… How to prepare for it. How to dress for it. How to drive in it. And what *actually* constitutes a true “snow storm.” I’ve always…
DMVs are No Place for Children
I bit the bullet and got the job done. Sure, I have been carrying around this guilt for the past 2 years, but what made me finally succumb was the pressure of the paperwork. As if having been a resident of the minuscule, pointless and *wicked* state of New Hampshire wasn’t tortuous enough, it is…
Is Less Really More? I Think So.
I believe myself to be a bit of an authority when it comes to house shopping. And it’s not just because I have a Jr. Real Estate license earned from the 4,297,361 hours logged watching HGTV. Craig and I built our first house, choosing exactly what counters, flooring and light fixtures we wanted, and closed…
