the social media revolution

How often do you check Facebook? Did you remember to update your status this morning (and again after your amazing lunch at PF Chang's?) Did you blog to the world about your fine weekend of snuggling your hounds and playing Parcheesi? Have you been lucky enough to find your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend online? Did you tweet a picture you took via Instagram of your morning coffee?  This all may sound a bit silly, but in reality this is truly the way the world is changing. 

 I spend at least 15 minutes every morning lying in bed while browsing Pinterest and catching up on a few of my favorite social games (Scramble with Friends & Draw Something ADDICT!) all BEFORE my coffee! So is social media taking over? Is it the new way to communicate? Or is all this social media stuff just a fad?

We watched  this video at our weekly office meeting this morning and, man, is it eye-opening! Take a look at this intriguing social shift in our culture.



So you tell me, is the revolution here to stay? And if so, are you happy about it?  Personally, I am a fan!

Home Organization idea

Is there a "drop zone" in your house?  A place where your kids, husband, friends, guests drop all their belongings or do they just plop them anywhere and everywhere around your house?!   If so, here are a few great ideas for creating an organized space, perfect for the drop zone, using an old closet!  

 A bench, storage bins, hooks, and a few pillows make this a cozy but functional and organized space.  Perfect to hang purses, store shoes, dog leashes, coats, and much more! 

Small projects such as these can add not only to the value of your home but can make your life more functional, organized, and stylish!

359 Princess Anne Road

Are you looking for a little slice of country living without leaving the city of Virginia Beach?  Then this, my friends, is the home for you!  Located in Pungo and surrounded by miles of farmland, this lovely Ranch home is situated on 3.75 acres and is both a wooded and landscaped horse property!
A property ideal for horses, with its stable, fenced pastures, and riding ring! Plus it includes a detached workshop/garage for storage & parking.  The horse stable has 2 stalls and plenty of room for hay, feed supplies, and even a tractor.
The house is located down a 100 yard, paved tree-lined driveway which offers ample parking, privacy, and safety being tucked away from the road.  The the lot is also beautifully landscaped and maintained with its stone walking paths and colorful flowerbeds.
This 2,200 square foot ranch home has 4 bedrooms, 2 and a half baths, an open kitchen, large dining room and master bedroom, a cozy wood burning stove in the living room, and a sunny great room with vaulted ceilings, with almost every room in the house offering fantastic views.  Also included is a wrap-around deck with hot tub as well as a small, picket-fenced garden for growing vegetables.
Beautiful laminate floors throughout most of the home give this farmhouse modern flair.  And each room is sweet with its touches of country-chic design.
This home is certainly a must-see! Please leave a comment if you are interested in visiting this property, or have questions about price, location, or anything else!
