The log cabin styled apartment started with a very big move. Rick, Jenna and I drove to rural central Michigan (7 hours away) to pack up and move my dad from his house on 60 acres of hunting property to an apartment in Louisville. He was living alone (far away from family) and finally agreed …
Many people don’t know that when a business entity has funds that are undeliverable to the recipient those funds get turned over to the state as unclaimed property.

I’ve decided to forego the tradition this year. Why I’m not sending out Christmas cards you ask? Well, let me tell ya the …
It’s been a crazy week here at the Kraus house. My employer suggested we go back to working from home (if you follow my IG stories you know why I’m not a good work from home person). I’m finishing up the family room refresh at my sister in laws house (WOW-the transformation is nothing short …
Libby and I just set back up our at home spray tan machine. It’s been put away since the girls all left for school in August. Since I can’t spray myself with the machine I’ve found the absolute best alternative is Tanologist self tan water. Here is a repost of last years blog on my …
