I waited until way after they were popular to start reading them--I think it was around the time Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix came out.

Selling your home and buying a new one is definitely an overwhelming process. One hurdle we needed to get over was our pre-approval.

I collect the blue mason jars…you know the ones that everyone has been gaga over for the last few years, but I really love all of them, no matter the color.
