10 Ways to Overcome Feelings of Homesickness in a New Place

Today marks two weeks in our new home and even though it's our dream home (or will be), we've experienced lots of feelings of homesickness.

Casual Friday: Closing on Our New home, Selling our Home Furnished, and the Best of May

We closed on our new-to-us house yesterday! It still feels so surreal or maybe my long to-do list has helped keep me numb to a lot of the emotions that are running through my mind: excited, grateful, overjoyed, sad, stressed, nervous, overwhelmed.
