Well...'tis the season! Is it just me or does it seem like the time between Halloween and Christmas gets shorter every year? I feel like I just put my pumpkin seeds in the oven to toast and here I am pulling out the Christmas decorations and putting lights on the tree.

This year my husband and I decided to hit the "reset" button on decorations and get out of the 'same thing, different year' rut. We were beginning to feel like decorating for the holidays was losing the fun and festive feeling and becoming more of a routine. Everything had its place and looked the same year after year, so...we are donating/recycling/trashing a lot of our older, tired pieces and getting some new ones!

The Summer is in full swing and we have been blessed with a lot of amazing weather so far! This is the time of year when we love to be outside taking advantage of this amazing area we live in. It's a great time of the year for two of my favorite things: mountain biking and breweries, so I thought this blog would be about some of my favorite biking/brewery pairings. As everyone knows, nothing is better than a great ride followed by a well deserved beer!

Buying a house is probably the most significant financial decision you will make in your lifetime. It is an exciting time, but also one that comes with uncertainty and a bit of stress. The best thing you can do is educate yourself about the home buying process, the market you are buying in, and most importantly, hire a Buyers Agent to ensure the best possible outcome.

Now that the threat of winter storms has passed (fingers crossed!) it's time to start thinking about getting the house ready for warm weather, and repairing any damage that the winter may have inflicted. It's important to stay on top of home repairs and preventive maintenance, as a small issue can quickly turn into a big one. Not every homeowner is handy, so some of the things that I will touch on might require a professional. Whatever your DIY capabilities may be, being a homeowner means caring for your home as it is probably the biggest debt you have. If you care for it, and do all the things required to keep systems running properly, water out, and insects away, this big debt could turn into a big return on investment.

The weather will soon be turning and as a result people will start thinking about getting outside more and more. That makes this a perfect time to begin creating a plan for teaching your kids (of any age) the joys and benefits of spending time exploring the outdoors. We live in an amazing area, filled with so many options, that it's possible for parents and kids of all fitness and comfort levels to find something they can do together...and enjoy it! A lot of people get overwhelmed even thinking about taking their kids on a nature walk, hiking, biking, whatever the activity may be, and that is totally understandable. It's hard enough preparing ourselves for an adventure, let alone a tiny person with a short attention span and lots of needs! Here are 5 great tips and some ideas to go along with them, that will help make outdoor time fun and (almost) hassle free.

There is no better prescription than fresh air to help cure all that ails you. In Sweden they call it "Friluftsliv"- which means "open air living and the value of spending time in remote locations for spiritual and physical well-being." Now that most of us have grown accustomed to "living" in our outdoor spaces, it's time to create the perfect outdoor retreat. In this post I will give some ideas to help you utilize the space you have and extend that living space to the outdoors all year round.

Fun fact: Real estate is complicated. Whether it’s buying a house , selling one, building or renovating a property, each comes with it’s own particular set of challenges. For those of us who work directly with clients, it can be a very tricky landscape to navigate. We have to be trusted advisors and consultants and at the same time figure out a way to manage expectations and keep them attainable.

Happy New Year! I'm not sure how you feel about resolutions, but I typically stay away from them. If I feel like I need/want a change or to try something new I don't like to wait until January 1 to implement it. I tend to seize the opportunity as soon as I can. That being said, I know a lot of people like to make positive changes toward healthier living as one of their New Years resolutions. These are my favorites and something I can totally get behind. There are so many things you can do, small and large, to get healthy! I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and all around fitness lover. That’s why I am kicking off my 2022 blogs with a short list of some of my favorite outdoor spaces within a short drive of downtown Plymouth.

The holiday season is such a wonderful time of year. Friends, family, and good cheer abound! Unfortunately, we all know that preparing for the family dinners, guests coming to town, parties, and present buying creates an incredible amount of stress, too. In an effort to restore your holiday cheer, I’ve come up with 5 actions that will allow you to “destress” this season and enjoy the holidays in peace.

Thanksgiving! Family, friends and feasts. If I could choose the single best part of Thanksgiving preparation, decorating the table is at the top of the list. I know this can be the source of a lot of stress for many, which is why I have put together a short list of some great, cheap ideas to decorate your table using things that you have on hand or just outside your door!

The holiday season is undoubtedly one of the best times of the year. There is so much to be grateful for! Here are just SOME of the dozens of ways that you can give back in your local area this Thanksgiving…

Time to face the inevitable...winter is coming. However, this year will be quite different from years past. The US Energy Information Administration has forecasted much higher home heating costs, projecting that heat oil will rise 40% in the Northeast, Natural Gas will rise 30%, propane will rise 54%, and electricity will rise 6%. Imagine electricity being the cheapest way to heat your home- well, it’s become the reality!
