Fall Family FUN!


Fall Family FUN!

With fall upon us, I wanted to share some fun family ideas you can start planning now. I’d love to hear what you’re going to be doing! ☺
Here are 4 quick ideas to help you plan your fall family FUN!
Decorate inside & out. When I was a kid, I always looked forward to helping Mom decorate for holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas… it was always fun pulling out the treasures and helping Mom put them out. Start a tradition in your home.
Family FUN day. Choose a day each month that is designated Family FUN day and plan several hours out of the home bonding together. It could be going to the local pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins, taste apple cider, and a hayride or visiting an outdoor park and having a picnic or going to an amusement park before it gets too cold. Or why not have a fun family game of touch football? Think about what your family enjoys, plan it & do it!
Toast marshmallows. Who doesn’t like a toasted marshmallow? Head out back one night this month with nothing but the skewer and marshmallows and maybe candy too… no cell phones allowed & enjoyyyyy your family moments!
Old-fashioned car ride (or walk). When I was a kid, sometimes my Dad would say let’s get in the car and enjoy the country and off we’d go on an adventure. It was a time to talk, bond, take in some beautiful local sights and would always include stopping for a bite to eat. Creating moments like these for our kids gives them a sense of belonging and connection. It’s just good old fashion fun. (And if a car ride doesn’t sound fun to you, maybe a family walk or hike would be!)

Here are some tips to help you prep your house or property to get ready for listing it with a Realtor ® in the CC-V district. First look at your home through the eyes of potential buyers. I am not talking about the personal effects in your home (yet). I mean what are some projects you have on the honey do list that keep getting put off? Maybe you need to chalk your windows? Or perhaps fix up that back room to a spare room. The little projects you have been putting off might not seem like they would make a world of difference but to a buyer, they do. That is one less thing they must worry about when looking for a home. The house or property with the least amount of work that needs to be done is the winner 9 times out of 10. Unless it is an investor or a house flipper. Second, declutter is a must. Now while you are packing to move yourself you will ...

Making the Most of a Modest Space

While some people who are selling their home think a small kitchen is a negative, there are several ways that you can make it stand out and appeal to potential buyers: Light it up. Darkness can often make smaller rooms feel even more cramped. To open the room up to more light, consider removing all curtains from windows and instead install recessed blinds. You still get the privacy factor, while also allowing your kitchen to have a brighter feel. Keep the counters tidy. Many people have things strewn about their kitchen counters and cabinets. Think about keeping your counter tops clear of all items, including photos, papers and even appliances, to make it seem like the room is larger than it truly is. Brighten the walls. Sellers should consider making the tone of the wall color in the kitchen brighter. Lighter colors tend to open up a room. They are also much more inviting, enticing potential buyers. Mounted appliances. Sellers may want to consider mounti...
