- Work: I am very fortunate to work for one of the best companies in America. I have been with this company for 18 years and I’m not only proud of the first-rate customer service they provide but feel blessed that they provide a wonderful place to work and care about their employees.
- Home: I’m a recent empty nester and live with my husband and two Siberian Huskies in Central Florida. My home is a single family bungalow revival that my husband and I moved into eight years ago.
- Eat: I’ve always enjoyed cooking, but fell into a rut a few years ago and now I’m looking for new things to try. I’ve traveled all over the world and would like to explore now from the kitchen.

- Work: I’m a graduate student of Public Health in Boston, MA
- Home: I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, built in the 1920s. I live here with my fiance, and we just moved to New England in August. Before this we lived with 4 other friends (all guys) in a 5 bedroom 2 1/2 bath townhouse in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and decorating was IMPOSSIBLE! This apartment is my first attempt at homemaking. So I guess my “Home status” would be- Newbie! I’ve been living the student life since 2005, so I’m REALLY good at being poor. :)
- Eat: This is where I have the most experience. I took a year off between my undergraduate and graduate degree, and I worked as a baker’s assistant at the farmers market in our Virginia town. Talk about doing what you love!! Not only am I now well versed in the art of wrangling rogue cookie dough, but I can also do it on the cheap without sacrificing quality!

- Work: I used to work a 9-5 corporate world job in the insurance agency, but the best part about that position is that it was temporary. Now that my temp assignment is over, I’m unemployed, but happily staying home to take care of my home, husband and dog. In the fall, I’ll be going back to school for photography.
- Home: I live in a tiny, 700-something sq ft apartment. Finally out of the roommate lifestyle that college so wonderfully sunk me in, I have now been let loose to decorate my own space. My husband and I have designated responsibilities around the house. Mine? To make our house a home. The feature I love most about my apartment is the darling white wood-burning fire place in the living room.
- Eat: I go through phases of passionate cooking and baking. Sometimes, I love to cook and eat what I make. Other times, I love to cook and don’t want anything to do with eating what I make. And then there are the times I hate to cook, but love to eat. It’s really quite a mess. The one challenge I’m always willing to take is cooking meat. Some women fear it, but it’s honestly my favorite thing to cook.
