Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty

I have no idea for the reason to be absent on my blog so much. Once a month is irresponsible. So, when the question was posted to me, "what have you been up to?" that gave me an idea. Earlier this year, I made a promise to myself to not answer that question with an... Continue Reading →
I sure could have used this information yesterday! I took my first winter spill, and I have to admit it was INDOORS. Yes, you read that correctly.
