Our First Home!!

We made a decision of buying our first new home. The process itself was really stressful. It’s has been a challenge and still is. My hubby lost his job, just after we finally got the key.

Now, it’s been a year since we moved to our home. It’s hard to believe that we did it. Sometimes it feels like it’s too much, stressful, but at the same time blessed. #new home #firsthome #newhomebuildjourney #

My first stop every time I go to Home Depot!
I go to Home Depot a lottttt, especially recently with our first short term rental flip. Every time I go, I always stop by the “oops” paint shelf that has discounted paints. Since these are mis-tinted colors, the selection can be hit or miss. But sometimes, I find the cutest shades—or even mix
