Welcome to “Inside the House”, the Women's Housing Coalition’s blog which chronicles the lives of five women in our program; Laura, Juanita, Malaya, Heather, and Billie.
Though not their real names, these ladies will post every day in some combination (except weekends) until December 31, 2010. You will experience their joy and sadness, successes and failures, happiness and frustration, as they work toward becoming self-sufficient individuals.
As you follow their lives this year, we hope you will gain some insight into the courage and strength that all of our residents must put forth each day to reclaim their lives.

Submitted by billie on April 30, 2010 - 4:03pmHello from sunny Florida. Just got back from Miami. Had a great time. Everything was so green and water everywhere. Blue skies, hot days and cool nights. The perfect vacation weather.
My grandsons are doing fine at school. My son and his wife are working hard and entertaining me at night. We went to eat at two fantatstic places. One Mexican and the other Indian. All the food was good. This is coming from someone who's diet is fried chicken and greens. I have not had any fried food since I've been here. I just may lose a few pounds, but I'm having a wonderful time.
Heather's Blog - Week 15
Submitted by heather on April 26, 2010 - 9:22amLast weekend I went up to Springfield, Pennsylvania to visit a dear friend. We went to see “Date Night” with Steve Carell and Tina Fey. It was a very cute and funny movie.
We went to Carrabba’s Italian Grill for dinner one night. I had wonderful scallops with orzo Florentine. It was delicious.

Well I made it to olando florida and was excited to see my son and his wife waiting at the airport to meet me. Their children were still in school, but I had promised them that I would be here when they got home. I arrived on monday, the same day as my grandson's birthday. He said I was his birthday present. I was glad to be there for his birthday.
