Staging Our Home to Sell (Pictures)

My husband and I decided we are going to put our condo on the market on September 1st. We have been rushing to meet this deadline. We rented a storage unit this last weekend and put quite a bit of stuff in it to clear out any clutter. I've been doing a lot of packing and looking for cheap deals at Khol's and Target to help stage our place. 



We finally have two rooms officially staged!

I will post more pictures of different rooms as they become ready. I can't wait until this is all over because it's so much darn work!!!

Finding Hope in the Midst of Postpartum Depression

My mom called me this morning and asked me to turn on AM 630. I quickly turned it on and heard a woman talking about her experience with Postpartum Depression. Within minutes, I was in tears because I could relate to her so much. I had experienced Postpartum Depression (PPD) with my first daughter and am now fully recovered. I was surprised to find out that she is a pastor's wife and she has even written books before she experienced this horrible illness.


After she successfully recovered from PPD, she wrote a book called "Living Beyond Postpartum Depression." Click Here to Buy on Amazon.com
