If you ask me it was nothing but a waste of money! I do love looking at real estate {Read More}

I wanted to take the time and explain the reasoning for the new comment policy. I appreciate every comment left on The Neat Things in Life, the comments have to be relevant, and must be at least 15 words. I am big into entering giveaways, and I subscribe to many blogs.
