Happy Thursday everyone!  HGTV reached out to me to participate in their latest campaign #lovehome.  They are encouraging people to Tweet or Instagram their favorite photos with the HGTV hashtag #lovehome.  To help spread the word, HGTV has extended a giveaway to one of my readers (U.S. only).  One lucky M.A.S.H. reader will win either a HGTV iPhone case, an HGTV 4GB flash drive, or a HGTV headphone set.  All you have to do is follow me on Instagram @tiffany_richey and share what home means to you.

What does home mean to you?  Is it your family?  Is it your backyard?  Maybe it is your city or neighborhood.  Whatever it is, I want you to capture and share these moments with me!  Make sure to include @tiffany_richey and #lovehome on your image to be eligible to win.  I will choose a winner on April 30, 2013, based on my personal favorite, so inspire me!   You can submit as many photos as you wish!  I will also be sharing what home means to me on Instagram, so be sure to follow along.

Check out this video for inspiration!  Good luck and #lovehome!

I’m excited to announce we have added a new member to our family!  We get to meet this handsome little guy on Friday, and I am busy preparing for his arrival.  Take a look at all the fun goodies I have rounded up for our furry friend.

Good Morning!  Sorry I have been M.I.A. lately, my family and I just moved to South East New Mexico from North Texas.  My husband was offered a fantastic job here, and it was an offer he couldn’t refuse.  We have had a tough year, but we feel truly blessed for this opportunity.

It has been a really hard transition, moving away from all of our family and friends, but we are trying to make the best of it.  Luckily, a family member has rented out our house so we don’t have to sell our “dream home” for now.  I have a real emotional attachment to our home, probably because I picked out every single element that went into the renovation, and also because it was the place we brought our son, Axel, home from the hospital, almost four years ago.  I guess when you think you have everything planned out, God has a different path for you.  We don’t know exactly where it will lead us, but we have faith that we are exactly where we need to be right now.

Did I mention we don’t know a soul here in NM?  So I  have been thrust back into full-time, stay at home, mommy mode, while trying to finish up design projects in Tx, homework for school- all the while looking for a place to rent.  I have also been searching for a pre-school for Axel, and it’s looking like he will not be able to start until the beginning of next year.  With all of that being said, I’m sorry if my post are few and far between, I appreciate everyone who has followed my blog thus far, and I think when we get settled in I will have more time to dedicate to it.

So fall is officially here!! Woo-Hoo!! Since I live in Southeast Texas, I don’t get to see many leaves change color.  Hence, the lonely photo of yellow leaves.  These leaves live in Georgia, where there is a slight changing of color, but nothing too extravagant :)  But in my evergreen area of Texas, there are hurricane stricken, leave-less trees that look gorgeous against a setting sun, wouldn’t you say?!  Regardless if my leaves change color or not, I’m excited about cooler fall weather and fall fashion! BRING IT ON, FALL 2012!!!
