About Carol

998555_10153080987905341_2135534518_n

Hi I’m Carol!

I’m married to my high school sweetheart Randy. And we have raised 2 sets of twin girls. Yes, 2 sets!! All 4 girls are the light of our lives. As you can see in the blog posts, my older set of twin daughters both, recently, got married. The weddings were 4 months apart so life has been totally crazy busy. Their fiancés, no husbands now.. are wonderful young men & Randy & I are thrilled to have them join into our family.

I am a professional realtor & stager. One of the best parts of my job is getting to know my clients. Many of whom I have gone on to be very close friends with.

This is just a short intro as we are getting set up in our new home (wordpress). Please come back really soon & read my updated page.

Ciao!

    Hi Carol,
    I love the Date night idea and I want to make that for my sisters upcoming bridal shower, I need a little help from you. For the the sticks did you use tongue depressors or jumbo Popsicle sticks or does it matter? Also it looks like the sticks are gold did you spray paint them??

      Hi, We used wide popsicle sized sticks from the craft store, it doesn’t matter if it’s popsicle or depressor sticks it just needs to be wide enough to write on. We spray painted the sticks in gold. You will also need some sharpie markers available to your guests to write on the sticks. Have a wonderful shower.
      Thanks & best wishes~Carol

    Just wanted to say that I LOVE your site and that you had decor ideas for Hanukkah! I have many of the same items you did for Hanukkah. I am always trying to make creative frugal decorative things.
