How to Live in Place at Home Through the Different Seasons of Life

The people, pets, and items that live in our homes change as we enter different seasons of life, and oftentimes, we get too busy to take a step back to evaluate if we're truly living in place. April, the owner of Functional Living with April, is back for another jam-packed episode where we talk about creating a functional home during the retirement/empty nesting years.
