Finding the Perfect Home

I am going through something right now that I know millions of people have gone through before me. Trying to sell our house and buy a new house. My husband and I have lived in this house since we were married and I have never had to move a whole house before. Frankly, I'm a bit intimidated. I guess I never realized how much stuff you can accumulate in a period of six years and the thought of moving it all is frightening. Those of you who have done this before know exactly what I mean here.

When we first decided we wanted to sell, we tried to sell without an agent. We showed the house once to an interested party but after that we had no activity. Because summer was drawing to a close, we realized that we needed to get our home into the MLS system and so we hired a realty agent. I have to admit that I LOVE going to look at houses. I hate getting our house ready for showings because we have three little ones and they make messes. Trying to make our house look under control and in order is not an easy feat but somehow...we manage. Looking at houses is fun and I think we have finally found our dream home.
(this is not a photo of the house we like...but I LOVE this house!!)

Unlike some, we are not looking for a palace. I am sure that if we looked in the santa monica ca real estate listings, we would find some gorgeous homes! I've been to California and there are some stunning neighborhoods there! We are looking for a secluded property with a few acres. For our entire marriage, we have lived in a small neighborhood and are surrounded by people on all sides. Everyone is really nice here and we have loved it...but we are outgrowing our 927 square feet of living space and are really needing something bigger. I would love a home that has over 2,000 sq. feet and at least 4 bedrooms. We have found a home that boasts all of these things...including four acres! The only problem that we have right now is that we have no offers on the table for our home and we cannot move until we sell our place. It is VERY frustrating but we know that if it is meant to happen, it will.

So, we wait...and hope...and pray that the perfect buyer will come along and we can move to a new place soon!

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

NOVICA Review

Do you like handmade things? I do! I think it really showcases someones creativity and adds some sentiment to the item. When I give gifts, it means sooo much more to the recipient if the gift was handmade. When travelling internationally while I was in high school, I loved collecting handmade things. From the Dominican Republic, I snagged a GORGEOUS painting as well as some lovely necklaces. From Spain, I brought home a stunning sweater that was burgundy and had silver shimmers throughout the material. So, I do have an appreciation for handmade things...especially from other countries . This is where my next company comes in! Meet NOVICA! I first saw NOVICA on another blog that was conducting a review and I was really impressed by this company. NOVICA's goal is to give world-wide artisans an opportunity to expand and grow their artistic talents through the internet's community of consumers. Here is their mission statement: We want to give artists and artisans aro...
