Warmer temps got thoughts of a home garden on the brain? Here are three tips if you're a newbie gardener: 1. Start small. If you’ve never gardened before, start small and learn the ropes of planting, watering, fertilizing, and picking. If all goes well, go big next year! 2. Consider a theme. Love Chinese cuisine? Focus on snow peas, radishes, cucumbers, cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, and bean sprouts. Sucker for fresh salsa (I mean, really, who isn’t?) Think tomatoes, swee...t peppers, chili peppers, onions, tomatillos, and celery (and don't forget the cilantro and cumin). 3. Plan for pests. Deer, raccoons, rabbits, and other pests love veggies just as much as you do. Ask neighbors or local garden center experts the easiest way to keep your garden pest-free. Did you know a home garden is not only magnificent for the taste buds but can also reduce stress and fend off the blues? If you’re on the fence, I say, go for it!

I feel this in my SOUL! It took me 40 years of living and trying and searching and sometimes failing, to find my "thing". Your "thing" is out there and when you find it, it is truly magical. So so so thankful to have a career that I LOVE and that I am actually good at! All the life lessons I had to learn (usually the hard way) were worth every struggle, every tear and every difficult experience. Thank you all for your continued support, LOVE and trust, I am the lucky #ONE!!...

What’s New With Google Home Assistant?

New listing hitting the market tomorrow in River Islands!

Thought the home you were purchasing was in tip-top shape only to be blindsided by your home inspection report? It’s okay, frienddon’t be spooked!

The inspector's job is to find defects in the house, and trust me they'll always find plenty!... Before letting out a blood-curdling scream (go on, cue your fav horror movie), let your agent look over the inspection with you.
