Happy To Be Home  As in any situation, you find what you are looking for. While uncertainty and concern abound, what can we look for that brings relief, joy, fun, presence to the moment in what might actually be an opportunity? • Are you finding things you love about your home now that you’re forced to be in it more? What are they? • How are you and your family staying sane? • Are you using your kitchen more? • Are you enjoying more time in the yard? • Are you LOVING how spacious your home is so that you can still keep your social distance and sanity/space? 😉 • Do you have a great view? • Is your giant flatscreen and massive L-shaped couch suddenly the best investment you ever made? • What do you love about home either newly or more so than ever before? • Maybe home isn’t just a house for you, but the people you share it with. How are you connecting with them? Times are hard right now, we know, but take some time to remember why being home is where we’ve always...

When it comes to buying real estate, you want to make sure the property you purchase is the right fit for your needs. For some buyers, purchasing a home that needs some work is the ideal situation. For others, getting a turnkey home that’s move-in ready is the only option they’ll consider. And for still others, both seem like reasonable options. The question is: which is for you? There are pros and cons to both  fixer uppers and move-in ready homes. The important thing is to recognize which is the best fit for you, your budget, and what you want out of a home.

Do you believe whether a groundhog sees its shadow or not is a true indication of when Spring will come? A lot of people aren’t even sure, which means we’re going to have more winter. But even if you do, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. If it’s sunny, and he sees his shadow, that means a longer winter. If it’s cloudy and he doesn’t see his shadow, it means Spring will come sooner. That seems totally backwards. And then there are lots of different groundhogs… which are you supposed to believe? Groundhogs Don’t Predict Spring Truth is, Spring never actually comes sooner, even if every single groundhog doesn’t see his shadow. It begins on a specific calendar day. Now the weather on the other hand, that’s a different story. The weather will be what it will be. Weather is something people make small talk about. But a groundhog predicting it!? Meteorologists can barely do it. So, most people don’t put a whole lot of stock in what the groundhogs “say” on Groundhog Day. ...

5 Tips for Maximizing a Small Kitchen Does your dream home come with a small kitchen? Not to fear! There are plenty of ways to get the most out of the tight space. You just have to get creative. Check out these tips! 1. Lighten up the area. Bright and light always opens up a space. Choose white or bright colors for the walls then pair that with unique overhead and under cabinet lighting.

Not one to make things in the oven often? Consider using it to store your pots and pans. Then remove the items before you use it. 4. Purchase a mobil...
