How To Be Ready For A Stop & Drop Picnic
There is something about eating outside that makes us all feel like we are on a mini-vacation. Remember the days when our Mom would pack us a picnic just for our own backyard?

Let’s Get Motivated To Go Someplace!
My husband would jump in anyone’s suitcase…. at anytime. He is infamous for agreeing to be part of your travel plans during what I call “polite conversations”. He is the ultimate traveler and makes every journey the event of a lifetime. You can’t wait to plan your next travel season with him.

Living Small In Style
How Small Can We Go?
Do you sometimes wonder, or dare to dream, what it might be like to live in a smaller home…one with style! We are not talking about one of the tiny homes that HGTV tries to convince people are great to pull around from one friend’s yard to another. Not a teeny, tiny home that requires you to crunch down to the size of a flattened mouse to get to the loft bed. Or one that means a trip to the laundromat each week.
No, we are talking about homes so efficient and design-oriented that we forget they are only 700-900 sq feet! Homes enticing enough that we are itching to give them a chance to make a difference in our lives.
Small Homes With Style Have…
- Architectural Interest
- Creative Decor
- Efficient Uses of Space
- Specific Storage
- Fewer, Yet Finer Furnishings
- Space for Art and Collections
- Wardrobes that Work
- Easy Maintenance
- Are Located In Diverse, Engaging Neighborhoods
