Every time I turn around there is wedding advice here and there and everywhere. I love it, I do; but it is always the same advice time and time again. It’s never different. It’s advice on how to tell people they cannot invite other people to the wedding. It’s advice on how to keep great […] More
My job is to offer you advice; preferably advice regarding things that will make your life easier, more enjoyable and far less expensive. I like to think I’m pretty good at it, and I like to think that I’m good at balancing my own love of the expensive with an additional love of saving money. […] More
When I first began working from home eight years ago when I became a mom for the first time, I worked from my home office. My husband and I built our first house 12 years ago, and we had three bedrooms. Since we only had one little one when I began working from home, I […] More
My name is Tiffany, and I am a neat freak. Not just the kind of person who enjoys cleanliness and organization; a real neat freak. I get antsy and stressed and feel overwhelmed and off if I have to leave a mess anywhere in my home. I cannot even begin to tell you how many […] More
I like to clean. There. I said it. I actually enjoy cleaning my house. I do; I mean it. I don’t love the concept of my home becoming dirty and requiring that it’s cleaned, but I do love the act of cleaning my house. Perhaps it is my OCD-like nature that allows me to feel […] More
If there is one thing we love about life, it’s that we can learn cleaning hacks everywhere we go. The funny thing about it, though, is that most of us learn things throughout life that we didn’t even realize were hacks. It’s not until we are hosting a dinner party or engaging friends in conversation […] More
“A good mom has stick floors, a messy house and happy kids.” What. Ever. I’m going to say this now; that is a load of you-know-what. I have a spotless house all the time; no sticky floors, no laundry piled up, and no mess; and my kids are always happy, always making memories, and always […] More
For whatever reason, laundry always feels like one of the worst possible chores a person can do. Whether you’re part of a big family or living alone it just seems like the clothes continue to pile on endlessly. You dread the actual day you have to do the laundry because by the time that day […] More
Four dining room table and chair sets, five living room furniture sets, three master bedroom sets and cribs and changing tables for four kids, toddler beds and big girl beds for two kids and eventually big kid room sets for the twins, dozens of bar stools, half dozen outdoor patio furniture sets, three office desks […] More
Have you ever considered just how beneficial it is to invest in certain items that will pay for themselves over and over again? I do; and I have to explain it to my husband repeatedly. It began with an expensive pair of black Jimmy Choo heels that are just lovely. He thought it was ridiculous […] More
Recently, when discussing the woes of being a first-time homebuyer, a friend scoffed and said to me, “You are not a first-time homebuyer. This is your second home,” when I discussed all the repairs our new home needed. I was a little taken aback, but then I reminded her that I am. This might be […] More
As a borderline obsessive compulsive neat freak, it’s my firm belief that my house should never be messy. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t care if your house is messy, and I won’t judge you at all. I just cannot for the life of me rationalize being in a house that’s messy. And that’s a […] More
