Ooooo real estate. Did you know one of my favorite magazines is Country Living, despite not living in the country or anywhere near it? Well it is. One of my favorite features is their real-estate round up, where they set a reasonable price and see what you can get for the money. The homes they chose are typically around the south and midwest, so [...read more]

Mmmm fall. I love everything about it, the weather, the clothes, the colors, the food and the sense of refreshment. Strangely though, it is the time of the year I feel most compelled to go luxuriate outdoors. Not in summer or spring, but in fall when the light dips low and you certainly need a scarf.
