For over 2 decades, my entire immediate family has gathered at the beach for beach week in July. It started as a tradition when my nephew and my parents 1st grand baby was just 3 months old. Because of work, we didn’t celebrate Christmas in December together, so this was our Christmas - in July. The first home we rented was in Rehoboth Beach.

I look forward to it every year - most years, it is the only time ..read more

We spend most of our lives living within the walls of our home. Here, we find safety, security and create countless memories. In this personal space, we bring in the things we love and need.

The arrival of June means Hurricane season is here! It’s never too early to think about preparing in case one lands where you live. When Hurricane Ian hit southwest Florida last year, the devastation it left in its wake will be felt for years to come. It was the first time since I moved to the sunshine state that I evacuated my home and rode out the storm elsewhere. It was an intensely emotional experience as I closed the door to my home for the last time, not knowing if I’d ever be back. My husband and I dodged a bullet as the damage to our property was minor, but so many lost so much and oth ..read more
