My First Blog.....

fork and spoon from HomeGoods

Well, I thought I would give this blogging thing a try. Everyone is always asking for my secrets of homemaking. So why not start blogging about it. On January 1st, I sold my business and became a SAHM for my 4, most of the time, wonderful children.(LOL:) It has taken some time to get used to staying at home and not running off to a job that took 50+ hours or more a week.

I have enjoyed finishing the remodeling of my house, and the addition that was added on. As the contractor, I have taken great pride in coming in on a low cost budget. Alot of the items in the remodel came off the Internet. My two favorite sites, EBAY and www.craigslist.org . If you're willing to travel and pick up , Craigslist is a great resource. We were able to get all of our windows and doors off of Craigslist. And two other local decor retailers that I favor are, HomeGoods and ChristmasTreeShop. With a revolving inventory, I have found if you don't 'buy it when you see it ', it will be gone the next day! As I blog, I will tell you about my great finds and treasures. So stay tuned....
