I started my day by tidying up frequently used surfaces with a bleach-and-water solution for a clean and fresh environment. I showcased my marble table, a stunning find from Facebook Marketplace, which adds elegance to my home. I ensured my family’s convenience by storing laundry detergent in an easily accessible spot for my wheelchair-bound son.

I'm definitely on the budget so I couldn't stay at the store any longer cause there were 1 million things that were jumping out at me. I spent $200 in 20 minutes. It's not that bad considering, I got over five items. The other items my daughter took to her room already.

I decluttered my bathroom by removing unnecessary items and trashing non-essential products to create a cleaner, more organized space. I improved my bathroom's aesthetics by painting the cabinet interiors a taupe tone to complement the natural wood on the exterior. I tackled the messy garage, focusing on organizing paints and supplies to make future projects easier to manage.

Oh my gosh, HomeGoods is out of control for Christmas 2024. There were so many amazing holiday fines I was blown away and almost went into OCD mode!! It basically took my money. I came out of the store at $260

I opened the video by sharing the excitement of holiday shopping at HomeGoods and referenced a 2023 retail survey about Americans spending $231 on holiday décor. I noticed an abundance of pink holiday-themed items, debating whether it’s a trend or a nostalgic comeback.

So there's a little good news and a little bad news, but I hope you enjoyed this blog and coming along with us on our real estate journey. There's been a lot of bumps in the road in 2008. We lost our home, then we rented for like 10 years straight, paying over $6,000 a month for a home. Now we're finally back on track! I give all of my teachers a group gift for me and my fellow classmates. Its pretty much a tradition of mine. I have a degree in culinary arts and a bachelor's in social work.

I recall flying with turbulence while traveling with my 5-year-old, reassuring them during the experience. I shared my plans to return to Cleveland for property investments and described traveling with my son, who uses a wheelchair. I described my first investment property, a fixer-upper duplex, and detailed plans to make the upper unit rental-ready.
