Prepping to sell a house can be stressful. Knowing how to stage a home for sale is absolutely vital to making sure your home sells quickly and for top dollar.

Looking for good interior paint colors for your home that will stand the test of time? Here are seven paint colors I used in this home that I can say with confidence I’ll use over and over again! As we’ve been prepping to move over the last few months, it has definitely caused me to do a lot of reflecting. I’m thinking back on the choices we made in our third house. What would we do again? Are there any projects I’d never repeat? What lessons can we take with us as we head into our next home?

Are you ready to learn everything you need to know about how to care for a Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma (AKA my favorite houseplant ever)?! A few years ago, I was shopping at my local nursery and saw a cute little plant labeled “Mini Monstera”. I hadn’t ever heard of it, but I love Monsteras. I bought it on a whim and brought it home.

Can I be honest with you? So far, 2025 has really been a doozy for us. There have been so many ups and downs and so much chaos that I feel a little like my head is spinning. This month was, well, a lot. We went under contract on the sale of our home, found our dream home, participated in a bidding war, WON the bidding war, went through inspections on both homes…and then had our buyer back out. Where we sit today at the end of March, things are feeling extraordinarily uncertain.

Not moving? No problem – I bet you’ll still be glad to get rid of these things! We have less than three weeks until our big move (!!) and I am deep in decluttering mode.
