I can’t believe I made it through my first “year” as an empty nester. I’m off to pick up my “bigger” girl from college. Now to learn how to deal with a teen who is used to not having a curfew anymore. Any tips are most welcome.

Last month I wrote about a client who took my home staging advice and sold in less than a week with 4 offers at $70,000 over asking. A couple of weeks later I was invited to apply for a host spot for a new HGTV show and my home staging client helped me shoot my demo video for it.

I don’t know whether I’ll get the host spot but I was thrilled when the casting director said my submission was “right on the money.” Now it goes up the chain of command and we’ll see what happens. Keeping my fingers crossed!
