The team is all here in Suwanee…
…the iPads are all functional and connected…
…my secret weapon is ready to go if I wake up to dark circles tomorrow morning…
…and there’s a sweet, young (newly-married) couple with an outdated living room in their newly-purchased (foreclosure) home…just down the road from our hotel.
Tomorrow is day one of shooting and redoing, and we’re getting pretty excited/anxious to see how it all plays out. Here’s to hoping we can sleep tonight!
If not, I guess we’ll just use a little more secret camouflage than usual.

So excited for you two! Thanks for taking time out of a busy schedule to keep us in the loop!
Super excited for you and to watch things unfold. Thanks for sharing all the behind the scenes secrets too. I’m thinking I need the Laura Mercier secret weapon even though I don’t have a tv show. 🙂
Can’t wait. You and Kevin are going to Rock It!!!
You guys will be amazing!! I will check on your progress with my ipad:)
Exciting! I hope it goes super well! If there are any flubs, you can just have some great material for bonus outtakes!
Sounds like lots of fun (and hard work)…ENJOY!!!
Sending positive thoughts and best wishes! Enjoy the journey, friends.
Deborah & Thomas
What fun…enjoy the journey…..love your spirit of seeing the good.
I’m sure you will do great.
Break a leg!
As I read this, I can’t help but thinking about how you shared quite a while ago when you were in a drive thru with more month than money and someone in front of you paid for your order. Could you have possibly imagined at that moment that one day you’d be shooting a pilot for HGTV with your man by your side? Here’s to following your heart and living your dreams. Praise God!
Kim,
I read your comment between takes yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes. 🙂 I’ve been thinking about that all week! I can’t believe you remembered that too!
Praise God indeed!! 😀
That thought has occurred to me over and over and over again as your success blossoms, Layla. Hoping that one of these days, our money will outlast our month and that our passion will find its playground, too. Prayers for an amazing start to this new chapter in your story!
Have no fear! You guys are rising stars!
Enjoy the journey!!

I have followed you or the past 4 years.
I laughed with you, I cried with you, and I decorated and tried
all the great ideas I learned from you.
I am as nervous and as proud of you if you were my own children.
Prayers for everything wonderful on this t.v adventure and in life.
You are going to knock their socks off.
Hugs, Geri.
P.s. I have read all of Mary Kay Andrews books and love, love them.
