Looking to move? If you are, you might want to see what you could potentially be getting yourself into first. Because when it comes to laws in the United States, every state is different. And some laws seem just downright weird (and some of these so-called "laws" are nothing more than internet fiction).
Spite Fences
No matter how much you dislike your neighbors, there are laws that dictate how high your fence can be. Sometimes these are local ordinances set by cities and counties, and some...
Now that it's officially Spring, it's time to change over to the spring cleaning mindset. And we all know that spring cleaning is not like regular, everyday cleaning--it's all that and so much more. Some of us look forward to decluttering and sprucing up the place, while some of us dread the very idea of it.
If you've been cooped up inside a lot this past winter (especially thanks to a certain blizzard named Stella), the last thing you want to do is stay inside and clean all day, right? Well,...
Chalkboard decor is taking over homes across the country. Chalkboards are homey, nostalgic (who doesn’t love the smell of chalk?), and handy! Chalk has always been a part of our lives in one form or another: from drawing on the streets and sidewalks as kids to learning in the classroom. And now, it's become a part of our homes.

Learning of Phil Rudy’s death on March 2nd, 2017 was a shock to us all. At the age of 68, Phil was taken to the hospital after feeling sick when he was at Circles. He passed away that day, leaving behind a legacy in a deli and emporium that he ran for 32 years.
Phil created a community through the character of his store, and he added so much to that character.
Circles on the Square I remember the first time I saw Circles. My mother parked her van outside the building and I immediately noti...
for some, Etsy is a blessing...and a curse. The global creative commerce platform is home to handmade items, vintage goods, and craft supplies. From the simple to the simply strange, the global community of online shops is likely to have exactly what you need...and maybe things you didn't know you needed...and maybe things that you really don't actually need but buy anyway (confession: I have made a lot of these types of purchases).
Etsy isn't for everyone, and it is by no means a perfect sit...
As the seasons change, the urge to tackle a renovation project or two might become strong. But your budget might still be tight post-holidays, or just tight in general.
Fear not! You don’t have to hand over an entire paycheck (or two or three or…) to give your home a little facelift.
