Make new friends, but keep the old; especially, if they find you on Facebook!

Holly and her godmother, Carleen – Autumn 1995

My oldest daughter is turning 16, this year (I know, because she keeps reminding me that her birthday is coming up…in November) and it's amazing that I really can't remember her ever being this small. Or, the fact that Holly's godmother has also became a mother, moved out of state and that, sadly, we've since lost contact with each other.

Not for the lack of trying, because we really have "not" tried to call, or reconnect with each other, in years.

Until, I logged into my email and found a "friend request" today from Facebook and was all, OMG, you mean to tell me there's another person who knows me, in real life, and STILL wants to be my friend!?!

Because, I also received a request from my son's godmother [waves to Linda] a few weeks ago and still haven't gotten over the fact that she just might think I hate her, too.

know…what the heck is going on in there?

Welcome to our virtual house tour…

This is This Full House (the house) and yes, it really does have 7 rooms (not counting the bathrooms) no, I’m not complaining and YES…privacy is at a premium…feel free to take our virtual tour from 2011 and see for yourself!

So, there’s still time to grab a beverage, make a potty stop or perhaps a quick snack, if you would like. Okay…ready…GO!!

TFH VIRTUAL HOUSE TOUR 2011

RECAP: Dining room, kitchen, living room, laundry/play room, girls’ room, the boy’s room (not shown) and my room (also, not shown) equals 7 rooms (not including bathrooms) and NOT a lot of places for 6 people to hide, really.

But, we love it (sort of!) and, well, it’s our home.

DISCLOSURE: I am attempting to win the HGTV Dream Home for the Up-teenth time (DANGIT!) not that this will increase my chances of winning, or anything (see previous parenthisis) it’s just that it is sometimes hard for other folks to believe that…YES!…there really are 6 people, living in a 7 room house, which no way even resembles a McMansion aaaaand…YES!…in Jersey 🙂

Thanks for coming, don’t be a stranger and have a GREAT day!!!
