[ad_1] Never heard of Ocean Springs, Mississippi? Neither had we! But it caught our eye on round-ups like Southern Living’s 15 Most Adorable Small Towns and USA Today’s 10 Best Coastal Small Towns where it ranked #1. So a few months ago our family decided to check it out for ourselves. It did NOT disappoint! We actually considered detouring through Ocean Springs on our weekend trip to New Orleans two years ago. But now we’re glad we didn’t shortchange it with a quick pitstop and gave it a full trip of its own. Ocean Springs lived up to the hype…
[ad_1] April 25, 2025 | Filed under: Buying a New Roof,Consumer Education,Financial,Homeowner Tips,Research One topic that’s been present on everyone’s mind is the slew of tariffs recently announced. Some of the many restrictions are on specific industries and even entire countries as they trade with the United States.

[ad_1] What the heck is Serenbe? That was our first thought when we heard about it a few years ago. A local friend named Kelly was moving to this “wellness community” outside of Atlanta and told us it’s a great place for a quick getaway with the kids. And soon after that conversation, we learned that our friends Vern Yip and Craig Koch are also building a home there. So, fast-forward 5 years, we finally visited over Spring Break and had a great time. Ok, so now let’s answer that initial question. What Is Serenbe? Serenbe (rhymes with “Heron B.”)…
[ad_1] By now you know that we deeply believe that a house always evolves to work with a family’s changing needs, but I’d say this kitchen and attached sitting area are as close to absolutely done as ever. In fact over the last two years they’ve held pretty steady – we did update the kitchen light to my dream chandelier that looks like bubbles at a beach sunset.
