Buying a New Home

My hubby and I have been in the market for a new home for quite some time. We have been house hunting all over Boca Raton, Florida for over a year. Most of the homes that we have looked at in our price range need a ton of work. Considering this, I have been exploring buying a new home. Newly built homes allow you to trade your to-do list for a want-to-do list. There is no need to spend time on repairing and remodeling.

Non-Maternity Maxi Dress

I am getting bigger by the day and the only piece of clothing that is comfortable for me right now is a maxi dress. I have been buying a ton of non-maternity maxi dress from T.J. Maxx by Max Studio. The dresses that have been gravitating towards either have an empire waist or are scoop necked t-shirt maxi dresses. I figure that I can wear these non-maternity maxi dresses after the pregnancy is over. I hate to spend more money on maternity clothing when I could be buying these non-maternity maxi dresses.

Heidi Hess

Heidi Hess is an amazing designer of hand-loomed sweaters. The fabric is hand-loomed in New York and feels like a dream. I tried on so many pieces just so that I could keep touching the fabric without having to pet the sweaters on the rack. Regardless, I ended up petting some on the rack as well as while I was trying them on.
