Last November 4 – my 30th birthday, actually – Brian and I met with our loan officer, who happens to be a close family friend, to talk about buying a house. Then in April we began house-hunting. In August we were thisclose to buying a house, but the deal didn’t end up going through. But that was okay because a [...]

OK… Home Depot and Rayovac just may have created this with the McClelland boys in mind… (I’m kind of kidding…) Rayovac is launching a new line of Indestructible Lights starting TODAY (Sept 5th) at Home Depot. What’s so cool about the Rayovac Indestructible Light from my end? I need something that’s going to stand up to the test of time [...]

I was as excited for this day as I had been for anything in a while!  This was the day that my Martha Stewart Living Carpet was being installed by The Home Depot.  I knew it would be a long day, we were having five rooms and a hallway done, but we had been wanting to carpet the house for [...]

Customer service is a HUGE component of someone either loving their experience or hating their experience with a company. I take customer service very seriously because I want to be heard and cared about by a brand or company I’m working with or (better yet) dealing with for something to do with my family and home. In continuing my Home [...]

It’s almost carpet time! The “fun” part has been done – the picking of the colors and the ordering! Now it’s time to get a little down and dirty — time to get the house ready for the carpet! Home Depot was coming the NEXT DAY!!!!!!! So excited!! (Don’t mind my appearance… this was a full day of moving furniture [...]

Home Series: Choosing the PERFECT Color. Now when it came to choosing the colors, I needed my husband’s help. I couldn’t decide between a few for the basement and for my office, so I was counting on his “expertise” in the matter! I loved having the sample boards from the Martha Stewart Collection to take home and live with… we [...]

I’m not kidding when I say, this HOME stuff is all new to me! (And I’m LOVING IT!) We’re HOMEing it this summer in the McClelland household, which means… we’re finally concentrating on fixing our house up and making it “ours.” Since purchasing our house in 2005, we haven’t really changed a thing, but to me… what I needed fixed [...]

With 4 boys… well, one can only imagine what kinds of stains we get. I couldn’t possibly even begin to start a list because it would be so long…. ! As Matt and I were trying to decide what kind of carpet to go with, Cindy (at our local Home Depot in Warwick, RI) showed me the amazing capabilities of [...]

It’s HOME MONTH at Mom Generations, that’s right… it’s all about trying to “fashionize” and make our home exactly the kind of home we have been dreaming it could be! We moved into our home on December 30, 2005 and it was the BEST day of my life! We were finally home owners. As soon as we moved in, we [...]

We’ve been contemplating getting carpeting for our upstairs and recarpeting our basement (a.k.a. the playroom) for a good 6 months now. The BIG hold up we’ve had is the fact that we have 4 little boys and with them sometimes comes the dreaded spills and stains on carpet, so we’ve held off. But… and this is a BIG but… Home [...]
