House for Lease
Tarzan and I decided that we are tired of living apart. We don't see a transfer back to Michigan anytime soon. In fact he even has a potential opportunity for an internal transfer to Orlando. Whenever we can get our house leased, we are moving to either Chicago or Orlando. If you know anyone looking for a long-term house lease in a northern suburb of Detroit, let me know! Or if anyone has any advice on how to market to ex-pat families working for large companies on 3 year assignments - please advise. That would be the perfect!
• Perfect for an executive or ex-pat and family
• Stunning interior with cathedral ceilings and neutral colors• Custom window treatments/draperies
• Large lot, great for kids to play
• 2800 square feet
• 3-car garage
• 4 bedrooms
• 3.5 baths
• Office, Den, and Great Room
• Dining Room, and spacious kitchen with breakfast nook
• Long-term lease welcome
• No smokers or pets please

Some Q&A
I got this from Sweet Pea and I decided to add in question #4 since it was missing.
1) If you could live in any country but the USA, where would you live? Probably Spain, since I lived there for 3 years in my late 20s and absolutely loved it. However Italy would be nice too since my hubby is Italian and has family there.
2) Why did you title your blog "Family Tree of Two"? I started this blog after my failed DE IVF cycle last year because I wanted to have a public blog to talk about other things in my life besides babymaking. Infertility no longer rules my life and Tarzan and I are making the most of our Family of Two. Granted our Family Tree is much larger than Two, but the blog name just kind of fit what I was feeling at the time.
3) How many "in real life" people know about your blog? My mom, my nephew, and a couple of friends. Plus I've become IRL friends with several awesome ladies whom I met through blogging.
4) What book are you reading right now? Several, but the most interesting one is "How God Changes Your Brain". Very thought provoking and fascinating.
5) What kind of clothes do you wear? Mostly casual because I work at home. Capris and T-shirts right now. I have a lot of dressy clothes, but rarely wear them anymore.
6) What are you having for dinner tonight? Probably just sliced cucumber with lime. I went out to lunch to Bravo with a friend visiting from Boston, so as you can imagine I ate way too much. I've lost 10 pounds in the last few months and do not want to gain them all back, so dinner tonight will be very low in calories. Plus I'm going to yoga and pilates, so by the time I get home at 9:30 tonight it will be too late to eat much.
7) Where do you "blog" at? In my office at home.
8) Do you like to cook? Yes I love it. I started cooking a lot after I got married in 2006 (hence the weight gain and now weight loss) and I got to be a pretty good cook. However since hubby is working in Chicago right now, my cooking has been greatly reduced. It's boring to cook for one. Plus I'm eating mainly fruits, veggies and beans on this diet, so it doesn't require much cooking.
9) What's your beverage of choice at night? I love wine, but have been trying to cut down, so lately I've been drinking herbal tea at night.
10) What would you most like to know about your fellow bloggers who read this? I really am just wondering who reads this blog, since it isn't my main blog. That one is private, and this one is kind of boring - I'll admit it. It's just a place to write things that I don't mind the public knowing.

I was on TV
I was on TV this morning on the Fox Detroit Morning Show along with a few of my employees for a Made in Michigan segment. My company Backyard Soaps was featured! It's so exciting!
