So if I didn’t have to work, didn’t have to feed the family or the pets, didn’t have to do laundry, and didn’t have to go on kids field trips, I would be taking pictures, while peeking at other people’s home, spending an exorbitant of money I don’t have on decorating my own home, and surfing the internet. That’s what I would do.

Next week, the husband is on vacation. Instead of going on a fantastic and exotic trip to the Caribbean, he’s going to tile the kids’ bathroom floor. For any neighbors reading this, beware. He’ll be knocking on your door to borrow tools and recruit your expertise and muscle. Because we’re not the handiest people on the block.

Here’s a sneak peek at Neighbor Kaishia’s home. I’m apparently not the only one in the neighborhood who is hooked on decorating. She’s got the eye! So today, I’m combining Desperate Housewives with House and Garden. I can do this because Neighbor Kaishia’s home is so pretty.

During the “intermission” of the game, we set the bell aside and went on a tour…

Quincy’s room is reflective of her personality, bright and cheerful and really really girly.

The playroom is adorable. Every girl should have a pink refrigerator.

And here’s where AJ The Star hangs out.

I love that everything is so colorful.

There’s her guest room, so calming and so soothing. She may never get rid of her guests.

Here’s Neighbor Janet behind the bar, she floats like a butterfly and stings like a beeeee.

We actually played bunco too…
