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.
