I live in this charming, red brick house in a historic neighborhood. At least that’s how I will pitch it when we go to sell next year.

I am absolutely in love with this time of year. The crisp colors of crimson red, electric yellow and burnt orange as I look out the window at the big maple in the front yard. The football games and cool nights where you need a blanket to snuggle! I love that it gets dark earlier…
Can you believe we’re almost halfway through October? If this month snuck up on you, like it did me, you’re probably in need of a quick Halloween home makeover. I tried out a Halloween version of these Patriotic Mason Jar Lanterns I found over at Addicted 2 DIY and loved them so much I did…
Scandal is proving to be, yet again, a show to be reckoned with. Shonda Rhimes is proving that she OWNS Thursday nights on ABC. She can push whatever envelope she wants and she will have an epic show. That having been said, here are my thoughts on the most recent episode of Scandal, “Inside the…
