Maybe it’s just me, but I had NO IDEA that there were so many steps involved in creating a foundation for a home. I had always thought that you dug a hole, poured some concrete, put some more dirt around it and snap, done. Surely the whole thing only takes a couple of weeks, right? Well, surprise Cory, that’s not how it goes...

Since we’ve been to three birthday parties over the last 2 weekends, this topic is certainly top of mind.

Read MoreWe spent the last week at Bear Creek Lake Park in one of the little cabins. It was amazing (even with having to walk to the bath house and pay a $1 to take a shower).
