  • Introducing: Bay Breeze Retreat

    Of the many things Johnnie Nobling and I have ventured into together this year, one of the things I’m most proud of is putting our name a piece of dirt together with a water view. 🏝🏖🌊😎 (As many of y’all know, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, and Beaufort are our relaxing getaway destinations from Raleighwood.)

    August 22-September 1, 2022, we have a little window where it’s not currently rented to others enjoying their own getaway, so if any of you would like to head to the coast for a few days at a special friends and family rate, send me a message before booking and let’s get you on the calendar at Bay Breeze Retreat!

    PS: The internet is blazing fast (faster than in Raleigh, actually), so we’ve particularly set this place up as a great work from home spot… don’t be afraid to book a few weekdays!

  • Dog Moms: Just Say “No” to Esurance

    About a year ago I was all over social media sharing my excitement that I got a great auto rate from Esurance. It’s an online/app-based business and their South Carolina-based customer support phone team is fantastic.

    You can imagine my disappointment when I called this morning for a homeowners quote and found out they won’t offer us insurance because this vicious lady pictured below is on the list of breeds they don’t allow. (PS: She’s a mutt from SPCA of Wake County, so no one knows which “breeds” she actually represents.)


    Delta Dog is 13 years old, so if she’s biting, it’s because you’ve disturbed her 12th nap of the day. (I’d bite you too.) Truth be told, Johnnie and I doing DIY projects on our home assisted by Bud Light are a larger liability than she is…

    As many of you know, we’ve welcomed many abandoned furry friends into our home over the years. I absolutely will NOT be doing business with a company with incomprehensible breed restrictions like this, so needless to say, they’re losing my auto insurance business, too.

    Tell me friends, who is your favorite auto + homeowner combo? (We’re with Farm Bureau now and the constant rate hikes are why I’m shopping around…)

    Sorry, Esurance… you messed with the wrong #DogMom. ?
