Can you tell there is a theme this month when it comes to blog topics? If not, I will tell you that all blog topics relate to moving!
Read MoreWhen we first moved into our new home back in January, we took a walk throughout our house to make a room-by-room list of all of the projects we needed and wanted to complete.
Of course, “need” and “want” are two separate things! Having everything we wanted and needed done right away would have been great. But like most people, we had to get realistic and come to terms with the fact that due to our schedule and budget, we needed to lay out what our priorities were for projects around the house.
