As our premiere episode for Season 3 of Homefiniti and Beyond Megan joined me to discuss 3rd quarter 2021 digital marketing benchmarks for homebuilders and 2022 marketing budgets for homebuilders.

Tomorrow my youngest turns 13. To celebrate, we fulfilled her longtime dream of having a golden retriever puppy. I surprised her last Saturday by driving her 2.5 hours to the breeder so she could select her pup and bring her home. She named her Lexi Jo and I’ve spent every night since Saturday on puppy […]

Each week as I comb through my newsletters and reflect on the conversations we had in the office, I think about what I want to convey through these weekly posts and how I want them to be read. This week, I’ve been thinking more about why I write them. This may or may not be […]

The tooth extraction did not go as planned. It involved one dentist, two oral surgeons, a Google My Business listing, and three appointments in as many days. I’ve never been so happy to bid a piece of me adieu. In the middle of all that Facebook and Instagram ceased to exist for 6 hours. Needless […]

You all, I am officially old. I cracked a tooth eating dinner on Wednesday night and after spending 2 hours in the dentist’s chair last night, was informed that the tooth must be pulled, Womp Womp. Putting a damper on what would have otherwise been a lovely week and a fun filled weekend. Another old […]

I typically avoid making excuses and kind of loathe the phrase “better late than never” so I’m just going to acknowledge the elephant in the room that this post is long overdue. However, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share this reflection on the Do You Convert Online Sales and Marketing Summit in Dallas last […]

I’m writing this while drinking my coffee and wearing joggers and a sweatshirt, knowing that this evening we’re hosting a giant bonfire where I will provide to our guests one of my famous cheese boards, some yummy in the tummy gumbo served with a side of my homemade whole wheat sourdough (from a starter that […]

Last week my husband and I went to Nashville for a quick 3 day getaway, thus no Edit was published. Having never been to Nashville, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My takeaways were that Nashvegas is an apt nickname, the people who live and work there possess more patience than I ever could for […]

I started this edition headed in one direction but after having fully vetted the articles that I want to pass on to you, I changed direction completely. This week has been one that is full of directional shifts and the newsletter was not spared. Shifting mindsets, shifting budgets, shifting priorities, shifting markets, shifting needs, and […]

Returning back to school was always a bittersweet experience, you didn’t want summer to end but you were excited to get back and see your friends and peers.

My oldest started high school today (not exactly, it’s just freshman orientation but still). And I’d like to inform you that I can’t possibly be old enough to be the parent of a high school student because in my head I am still only about 25 years old. But alas, here I stand, having conversations […]

Oh hi mid-August-nearly-September-back-to-school-chaos-is-upon-us season! That’s what happens when you go on vacation for the first week in August. I’ve got less than 48 hours to secure school shoes for my kids before tax free week ends, next week I head to DYC and the following week sports tryouts begin for my newly minted high schooler. […]

Picking up the kid from camp this evening and then heading into my last week of work before vacation! Shortly after that I venture to Dallas for the DYC Summit, and attend a concert 22 years in the making for me (Dave Matthews Band). There is so very much to look forward to this August […]

My oldest kid is at sleepaway camp this week which meant that my chauffeuring duties were cut down to nearly nothing. This in turn meant a super productive week all around. I cooked dinner every night for 6 nights in a row (this never happens here), I went on two walks, I cleared off my […]

At the halfway point for the year, as we emerge from the confines of a global pandemic, the economy is recovering but Covid has left a mess of a supply chain in its wake. 2021 is as wild and unpredictable a year as 2020 turned out to be. From June of 2020 through January of […]

Sometimes I sit down to write this and the words pour out. Other times, like today, I struggle with where and how to start. I went to college not knowing what I wanted to do and after many conversation with my parents about different majors and how that would impact my career, I landed on […]
