Deborah Tayloe is a full-time blogger, children's book author, and freelance writer, contributing to large publications.
She has a B.S.Ed. in Secondary Education/English and a Spanish Minor. In addition, she holds a Certificates in Natural Health and Herbology from accredited programs. She pursued these natural wellness certifications due to her love for herb gardening.
Despite freelancing to make a living, her love is "all things home."
Deborah grew up in a family that grew a large vegetable garden and a fruit orchard, helping her parents pull weeds and can home-grown foods as part of her childhood. In fact, she had no idea that she could purchase veggies and fruits in pre-packed steel cans until she went to college and made a food run.
Today, she lives in Bertie County, North Carolina, an agricultural rural area with more chickens than people. She lives with her husband and two rescue pets a sweet toy fox terrier and a cat who showed up one day and moved into the house. Together, they enjoy DIY projects, furniture refinishing, gardening, and canning.
Traditionally, most families will choose between cats, dogs, rabbits, and other small mammals when they are deciding upon the pet they want to keep at home. For a long time, these options have been some of the easiest to get your hands on, but this has started to change.
You don’t just have focus only on the main rooms of the house when thinking of aesthetics. Yes, large rooms do play a big part, probably the biggest. But, there are other areas to your home that you need to consider, especially now that the weather is beginning to heat up again.
A home is many different things to each individual. It’s a place where you can relax and shelter yourself from the irritations and storms of the outside world, but it’s also the stage for many social gatherings, from barbecues to birthday parties and movie nights.
It may be hot and sunny at the moment, but we know all too well that this weather won’t stick around forever. In a country where multiple seasonal changes can occur in a single day, it’s wise to gear your home up for every eventuality. There’s every chance of snow in spring and scorching sun in autumn, and if you play your cards right, you can enjoy your home all year-round. Here are some top tips to help you make the most of your home, come rain or shine.
