Home Value Expectations Drop To Lowest Level In Survey’s History

I was watching CNBC and they said the latest survey of people who expect their Home Value to increase are at a 2 year low. Are people accepting the current situation or are they denying it? I know C and I have accepted this fact and have continued to improve our home, not for value so much anymore, but more for personal enjoyment. We

South Beach Diet Phase 1 Menu

I tried doing the South Beach Diet last week and by Friday night I bailed. I had a fun, splurgey weekend and thought I’d try again this morning. No such luck. I love my fruits, whole grains, cereal, and snacks way too much. I did, however, make a great dinner menu for the week and still plan on following it. I know that I

Menu of the Week: August 4

This week my goal is to double up on at least three of my meals and freeze half of each one, in preparation for my new baby. I don’t want to have to worry about feeding the rest of my family those first couple of weeks.ย It’s definitely a bit hot here for such warm, hearty meals, but hey – we have air conditioning

Big Brother 10 – episode 2

I didn’t get a chance to watch BB10 last night, but I am watching the second episode now and will watch tonight’s episode (3) after. What the heck is up with Brian being so cocky already??

Just wanted to start out with a before picture as a reminder of what the space looked like before. I’m currently in the process of remodeling that built in wall unit on the left. I had to remove lots of drywall and metal. We are putting in 3 big pantry sized cabinets (like the ones we have in the kitchen and will include pull

Menu of the Week: May 26

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve meal planned and man, can I tell the difference. Basically we don’t eat. Ok, that’s not entirely true, but I don’t end up really cooking much if I haven’t planned a menu. I have a mental block at the grocery store and end up buying fruit, cereal and snacks. Nothing for dinner. So anyway, I have

LED Stair Rail Light

Since we tried to be eco friendly with our kitchen remodel we wanted to use all LED lights. Originally we were going to use this LED rope light for our under cabinet lighting, however, it was just a little too thick to get around the back of the Microwave hood. So instead of trashing it, we decided to use it as a under stair

Granite and Pantry Pictures

When we were deciding what cabinets to get we originally wanted the ultra dark cabinets with white countertops. After much deliberation, we decided on a granite that would work with our cabinets. Well many granite’s would “work,” but we wanted what would “work” for us . Oh yeh sink is in too. We were really close to going with the brand that our granite
