unfinished projects can make you cranky
Hey Reader,
Yesterday, I sent an email sharing how much I was enjoying renting and how I feel so much less stressed.
I don't think many of us take the time to consider how much homeownership affects our mental health.
This can mean a positive correlation, of course. Home is where the heart is, after all. Your home can be a place of comfort, a respite from the outside world.
It can be the place you curl up with a book or play with your kids. It can be the setting for family movie night and the place where you make your family your favorite brownie recipe.
But, if you have clutter or unfinished projects in your home, it can also be a source of stress. It can turn into a place you want to avoid.
If your house is giving you more stress than happiness, below are some tips that can help.

Financial Awareness: If you want to start a new home project, create a budget, start saving, and create an inspiration board. Projects are so much more enjoyable when you have the money saved ahead of time.

Hey Reader, I was asking my kids in the car this morning about their favorite Thanksgiving foods. They, of course, gave me favorite Thanksgiving food combos. My daughter said she loves gravy, turkey, and mashed potatoes. My son said he loves turkey, cornbread, and cranberry sauce. I, personally, prefer leftovers. There's nothing better than a hot turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce on a bun! Of course, the holidays are more than cooking up a secret family recipe. They're also about spending...
Hey Reader, Last night, I was almost asleep in my bed when something made me get up and recheck the house. It's not uncommon for me to check and re-check the locks and the lights after everyone is in bed. I'd already closed the house down, though, but I still felt like I needed to check it again. Call it instinct, but once I got downstairs, I smelled something burning. I checked the basement, the oven, and then the dishwasher. I couldn't find anything, but just to be safe, I left the...
