Matt and I went back out to visit our new house again today. Turns out... it's not going to be a huge issue to move the incorrectly placed floor outlets.  (According to Jason in the sales center anyway... the guys that have to bust up that concrete and reposition that pipe three feet will be curs...

Just got home for the evening and felt like bloggin'.We had a great Florida day.  Matt woke up early to play golf with his dad - and I slept in (with a little help from the Nyquil that I took last night.)I finished my skimming of Blue Mind by Wallace Nichols.  I never just skim books, but I felt ...

'Twas the night before House Hunters, and I'm blogging in bed.Visions of "recreating the buying process" dance in my head... It’s been eight months since we finished filming my House Hunters episode – and it’s finally time to see the finished product…  EEEK!  I’m slightly terrified to see just wh...

Have I mentioned yet that I am not a good actress?  I think there is a very real possibility that I will wind up sounding just as silly as every other agent that appears on HGTV’s House Hunters.  (No offense to anyone else that has appeared on the show.)  Filming hasn’t really been too much diffe...

Eeek!  This is what I see when I flip ahead a few days in my calendar…  (And, yes, I still use my trusty, old-fashioned Franklin Covey paper calendar.)  Just in case it's hard to read my writing in the picture... It's two full days blocked for HOUSE HUNTERS!  Yesterday I was emailed our filming s...

Well, an upcoming TV appearance seems reason enough to revive the blog, right?    In case you haven’t heard; I’m going to be on HGTV’s House Hunters!  (Did you know that’s the #1 ranked show on HGTV?!?!) In mid-July, my buyer-clients filled out a general casting application on HGTV’s website.  Th...

Online shopping is great and all, but do you ever wish you could feel the material of that adorable pillow on Etsy?  Are you too afraid to commit to the rug on Overstock.com because you doubt the color is quite as grey (or gray) as it looks on your computer screen?  Go to At Home.... Formerly kno...
