I started working on this post at 9:30 yesterday morning. I haven’t been working on it the past 24-hours, but I think I tried to write it and get it posted like five times yesterday. Well, what’d you do all day? I have no idea. Except I did go to Crossfit and do a bajillion [...]

HGTV: our plea video (don’t judge us) + our show date!
Last fall while on a weekend away with my girlfriends one of the girls shared with us her experience on trying to get on HGTV. During their home visit (unfortunately their home was not chosen) she found out that they were also looking for Cincinnati families. She snagged a card and passed it along to [...]
Finally … my debrief on our stint with HGTV’s Run My Makeover:
Who thinks it’s odd that I was all pumped up about us being chosen for HGTV’s newest show, Run My Makeover, and then basically never mentioned it again after our project was completed? I do! I do! I do! I do! I do! I do! I do! I do! I do! I do! OF COURSE you [...]
The best I can do.
The basement is officially waterproofed. The company was fantastic, so nice, so friendly, so respectful. Our foundation was thicker than normal. They had to jackhammer for twice as long. Dust went everywhere. Through the vents, coating our entire house in a fine layer of cement dust. It sucked and I did the ugly cry. I [...]
HGTV: The contractor meets me, the boys, Nancy, Holmes and Jacques.
Last Wednesday our house was filled with 4-5 guys sent by HGTV. A contractor, plumber, designer …. uhhhh … builder …. uhhhh … okay, I don’t know past the first 3. All I know is that I was all up in their business hanging out upstairs with them to the point my husband quietly scooted [...]
HGTV: Time to vote!
UPDATE: For those of who who said the link wasn’t working, it is now. : ) Our plea video and voting options have been posted! Eeeeek! I am sooo excited! First: Now, I know I’ve already said it, but seriously I am SO embarrassed that our most personal space (our bedroom) and our CLOSETS are [...]
HGTV: Our first bit online …
Okay so … I’m feeling all pink in the cheeks that there are pictures of our bedroom online for all of America to see! And, on top of that it’s in its – what the producer kept calling – “natural state” (i.e. messy!). Nevertheless, I told you I would share everything step by step so [...]

Dear HGTV (and America),
Just in case you’re in need of a little inspiration for the Cudzilo abode I have just a few ideas for you … Any type of decor, furniture and set-up that invites rest and relaxation is exactly what we’re longing for. Light floors or dark floors? We like both. Although dark floors seem cozier … [...]
HGTV: Our First Meeting with the Giant Black Thing
The camera that is … The night prior Corey and I both realized that we were nervous. You know when you don’t really think about something it doesn’t really register. Funny thing is that even if you don’t admit it consciously your body is still living in that state so might as well shout it [...]
