One of the best parts of being a mom is getting to watch my son play college football on Saturdays. I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything! But I’ll admit, sometimes I’m a little sad when I see all the fun things happening back home in our community while I’m sitting in the stands cheering […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about downsizing lately. Recently, I listed two condo/townhomes, and next week I’ll be listing another one.

The Beauty You Don’t Always See: A Midwest Spring Perspective

When I lived in Texas for a few years, people would often ask what I missed most about the Midwest. My answer was always the same: the four distinct seasons.
