Home Staging For You

Friday Fun…Wrapped or Bags? We all have one of these friends…their Christmas shopping is done by the summer and all their gifts have been wrapped.  Last week I was catching up with just such a friend. I wish I had all of my wrapping done. My problem is that I don’t like wrapping gifts.  My mother...

 Thankful Thursdays…For Learning to Cook When my Girl Scout troop took cooking classes, earning us another badge for our sashes, I thought that would be the end of that (cooking.)  Little did I know or understand that learning to cook and enjoying it would come to me slowly and through various so...

Wordless Wednesday…Oops! We switched our garden flag from a Fall flag to one to celebrate the holidays. It’s an easy task unless it’s windy. Wouldn’t you know it, that day was one of those “let’s blow the flag around” days. Larry attached the flag, took a step back, proud of his work, then saw th...

It’s Christmas…Come On…Wish Me Merry Christmas! Being politically correct is highly overrated.  I’m not saying you should set out to offend someone.

This Week…Getting In the Christmas Spirit  With Thanksgiving in the rear-view mirror, the push is on to prepare for the next big holiday. No matter what holiday you celebrate in December, you will probably have food, travel, and family on your agenda.  My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned ...

Happy Birthday to My Soulmate My wonderful husband, Larry, has a birthday today!!!  Over 46 years ago I met this brilliant Renaissance man. Every day, I thank my lucky stars for the day we sat by our apartment pool and he beat me in several games of backgammon.  He may not have been who I’d ever ...

Throwback Thursdays…Market Reports, Listings, and Comments. Several years ago I wrote a post that was inspired by one from our Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400   It had to do with being courteous and professional with our comments on consumer-focused posts of fellow members.  For example, som...

Wordless Wednesday…Thanksgiving Leftovers Redux It didn’t take long for us to tire of turkey, dressing, and the rest of our delicious Thanksgiving leftovers!   We’d sent guests home with doggie bags and yet we still had enough for several meals.  When in doubt… make a casserole!!! A friend made t...
