Happy Monday! I’ve seen many tours through Blogland posted lately, and when Amy at Always Never Done asked me to participate, I jumped at the chance! Amy and I have basically been on this blogging journey together, ever since we went to our first Haven Conference and got the bug to change from just DIYers […]
Celebrating Year Two
Today marks my second blogging anniversary! Sometimes I can’t believe how fast time goes, and then sometimes I feel like I’ve been blogging forever. I feel that way when I think how far I’ve come since I wrote my first post. The fun part is to look back on it all. I enjoy having my […]

Welcome to Puddy’s House
Bob and I began our search for our home in the Fall of 2007. We both had our own single homes and decided it was time to take the leap and buy our home. We did not search very long before we found our house, which was a spec house that was not quite finished. […]
