In the fall I went back to Albuquerque, New Mexico where I grew up to show my sons Beckett and Sullivan the international hot air balloon fiesta.

Even though I grew up there going to this fiesta, it just never loses its magic.

And it's such an amazing and beautiful tradition.

I love it so much.

But sometimes when I'm away on trips with my family, it feels impractical to have my house just sitting there vacant

I realize that when I'm away that's actually the perfect time to Airbnb it I don't have to be someone who hosts all the time I can do it around my travel

schedule and host when I feel like it and I could take the extra cash and use it toward

more fun activities with Beckett and Sullivan like a weekend trip to the San Diego Zoo, or I don't know, toward a romantic staycation with Justin.

Who doesn't love Date Night, right?

I feel like I've cracked the code here, like, how did I just realize this?

Anyway, thank you.

Thank you for letting me share my genius idea with you.

That's very kind.

Your home might be worth more than you think.

slash host. I love my home. I do I love it so much but I also love vacationing

I work a lot and sometimes it bothers me to think how often I'm not actually

there to enjoy it. I mean whether I'm going on a fun vacation with Justin or

traveling to New York for work there's a big chunks of time that I don't get to relish that

sofa. I pined it so hard to buy or bake cookies that I can make with my stand-up mixer that I got for Christmas.

And I realize there is a way that I might feel better.

If I became an Airbnb host, I could make use the space when I'm away and make some extra cash.
