Intro

Nesting is known as something many pregnant women do. When you are a nester, you want to get your house ready for the new baby. Other people, however, just like to nest… for themselves in their own home. It is more affordable to stay in than go out partying. One might call these people old fogies. Others call each of them a happy homebody.
