Wow. What a week! I think I've started TWO posts like that in less than a week, but it's true! I hope you all are faring well and staying safe.

I've included a few of my favorite smaller shops, as well, that I want to try and help support during these crazy times. And while I realize some people are in no mood to shop (I get it!), I ...

Are you stuck at home for the foreseeable future? Today I'm sharing 50 things to do when bored at home.

Weekend Recap
Wow. What a week. Last week may very well may go down in history as one of the craziest weeks of many of our lives. And I hope last week is the worst of what we see, and we, as a country, can turn things around quickly.

That Time I Bought A House
Not only do I rarely post on Sundays, but I'm guessing you weren't expecting the title of this post either! Surprise! So I'll get right to it: I bought a house this week. Now, a little back story. It's been a dream of mine for a few years to have a "Life On Virginia Street" house on a beach somewhere. A place I could rent out as an Airbnb to my blog readers as well as other travelers, and even use personally for vacations. It was always a big dream that was likely going to cost a lot of ...
