Welcome to our blog about life in an empty nest home! Our names are Dana and Larry, and while empty nesting is often associated with a sense of loss or sadness, we’ve found it can also be an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. It’s also a time of newfound freedom where we can focus on our interests, hobbies, and goals, and enjoy the peace and quiet of a less crowded home.

But this transition can also come with its challenges. How do we navigate changes in our relationships with our partners or spouses now that we have more time to spend together? And what can we do to make the most of this time in our lives? Many people find that they have more time and energy to focus on their interests and goals and can even explore new hobbies or activities they might not have considered before. I can tell you, that has certainly been the case for us.

It is worth noting that everyone’s experience of empty nesting is unique. Some people may feel a sense of relief or excitement, while others may struggle with feelings of loneliness or aimlessness. It’s important to acknowledge and honor these feelings, while also seeking out support and resources to help navigate this new phase of life.

Our blog is here to help you navigate this new chapter in your life with grace, humor, and a sense of adventure. We’ll be sharing tips and advice for everything from downsizing and decluttering your home to exploring new hobbies. We will tell you all about our travel destinations—what was good…what was bad. Meal plans and recipes that you can scale down to just the two of you. There are movies to watch and TV shows to binge. Restaurants to try and bands to hear. Drinks to make and parties to plan.

So, if you’re an empty nester or simply curious about this life stage, we invite you to join us on our journey and share your insights and experiences along the way. If you’re feeling lost and unsure about what comes next or you’re excited to embark on this new phase of your life, we’re here to support and inspire you.

Grab a cup of coffee, settle into your favorite armchair, and join us on this journey of discovery and growth as we explore the world of empty nest home life together!
