Holiday Ideas for the Family

http://shushi168.com/turkey-picture.html


Holiday Ideas for the Family

It's that time of the year again when the leaves begin to fall, the air gets a little chilly and people start to feel a little nostalgic.  It's time for the Holidays!!

Because I was raised with a family of 6 on a military budget, sometimes the holidays were on a very tight budget.  Also, because I was raised as a military child, we always had a few guests at our table for the holiday meals.  Most of the single men and women in the military are so far from home and have no one to share the holidays with.  My parents always made it a tradition to include several of those men and women in uniform to every holiday meal.

With that tight budget, came some very creative ways to have a wonderful holiday!  I wanted to share a few of our family's budget friendly holidays and share some from other people on the internet.

1.  Make everything from scratch.  
Believe it or not, it actually costs LESS to make everything from scratch.  Avoid the store bought mashed potatoes, gravy, pre carved turkey......... Just make it yourself! Do the number crunching and you will see how much money you will save by making it on your own.

2.  Stick to a budget.
I know. I know.  It is SOOOO hard to go into a store and buy the items you need with out the distraction of finding everything else you MAY need.  (at least it is for me, anyways)  Write out a very detailed shopping list and stick to it. 

3.  Trade a few things with friends. 
I have a friend that is a domestic Goddess.  I - unfortunately - am not.  Don't get me wrong - I am a good cook, I just choose not to.  So, from time to time, we do a trade.  Because her and her husband are empty nesters and my hubby and I are empty nesters, it just does not make good sense for us to cook for ourselves.  She will make a meal and drop half of it off to me and I will buy the groceries for her to do that.  Win - Win.   So, why not do a trade with a friend?  

4.  Go Potluck!
Invite friends and family and have each one bring a dish.  Not only will it save you a lot of money, it will save you a lot of time AND everyone gets to try each other's dishes.  You will also have a very large variety of foods to choose from.

5.  Keep it simple.
I'm sure you have been to fancy shindigs where the menu includes items like Turkey Roulade and Rocotta stuffed bacon wrapped dates.  I mean, really?  Who eats that stuff.  And what is Roulade anyways.  
One of the many reasons Americans love the holidays is because of the traditions.  In our family, a traditional meal includes Turkey (plain ole turkey from the oven), mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, mac n cheese, broccoli cheese casserole, sweet potato pie, corn and pies, pies and more pies.  You see, we aren't fancy schmancy.  We just like to eat our comfort food. 
So keep it simple.  You will save money on extra ingredients that you may never use again and you can ensure everyone will eat it! 

Now, let's look at decorations.......again, you've probably been to those homes where everything is set out like a Better Homes and Gardens center fold.  Let's face it - that's not real life.  So, unless you are living with Martha Stewart, don't go there.  What do you have around the house?  Pine cones? Fall leaves? Pull out some of those fancy wine or champagne glasses you use maybe once a year and see what you can do with it.  Here are some great pictures below that I found on www.midwestliving.com


Be Creative! Have fun! Make memories!

How to Stage your Home to Sell!

Steps to Stage Your Home


1.  Clean. Clean. Clean.  I can not stress enough how important it is to clean your home.  It is so easy to overlook things when you live in a home.  (I know. I'm guilty) Have a neutral friend that will tell you the truth to come in and make a list of things that need special attention.  Walls, windows, doors, baseboards.....these are all items that potential buyers look at and take note of.
Also, clean air filters, air vents and around the indoor system.  Potential buyers always look at your HVAC system, water heater, appliances.  Make sure those are clean. 
Organize and clean out closets. Buyers look in closets.  Make sure to clean out items you do not need. Is it winter?  Take out all  your summer clothes.  Is it summer?  Take out all of your winter clothes.  Clear out shoes you do not wear, purses, accessories you do not wear.

2. How does your home look from the curb?  Is your landscaping fresh? Does your home feel welcoming?  Clean landscaping up by trimming or removing any outgrown bushes and/or shrubs.  Plant colorful flowers and plants and fresh mulch.  Add colorful flowers to planters in and around the landscaping and add a few potted flowers to the front porch.  
How does your front door look?  Purchase a cheerful welcome mat. Add a colorful wreath to the front door.  Most importantly, if your paint is old and faded, refresh with a couple coats of paint.  Repair and/or replace door knobs. 


3. Remove clutter.  I know - I know......isn't that a lot like cleaning?  Yes.  It is.  However, I cannot stress enough the importance of decluttering.  Remove personal items.  Buyers like to imagine themselves in their new home.  Remove 90% of personal photos.  I love framed photos of my family.  I have to admit I may have over 100 framed photos throughout my home.  However, I'm not selling my home, either.  I am also very guilty of looking at families in photos at homes.  Do you want potential home buyers looking at your photos or looking at your home?  
Are you a collector of Baby Dolls, Miniature cars, Precious Moments and Mickey Mouse?  Box them up and put them in storage.  Any type of collection is important to the owner, however, those items are distracting and could be damaged easily by little visiting buyers. 
Don't forget the kitchen.  Any type of small appliance that is not used daily - put away in cabinets.  You want your counters clear of any clutter.  Buyers love kitchens and want counter space.  

4.  How do your bedrooms look?  To many - a bedroom is a sanctuary.  Present yours as such.  Fresh linens - or better yet - new linens work wonders.  If you can afford a new comforter and throw pillows, by all means, get those.  I even suggest throwing them on top of your old ones for viewings and then remove afterwards to keep fresh.  Add a new throw blanket at the end of the bed for color.

Buyers want to feel comfort in their new bedroom.  Think Peaceful. Think Spa like.

5. Bathrooms rank right up there with kitchens.  Make sure you declutter your bathroom, as well.  Clean out cabinets, drawers, medicine cabinets and linen closets.  Get rid of old and never used makeup, toiletries, medicines.  Organize what is left.
Clear off the counters.  The only thing that should be left on the bathroom counter is a decorative soap dispenser and possibly a towel. Again, think spa like.
Clean floors, baseboards, shower, tub, toilet.  Clean mirror. Everything should be sparkling clean.  
When showing, close toilet lid, put away toiletries in shower/tub.  Put away bath toys.  Hang freshly cleaned or (better yet) new towels.  


6. Invest in scented candles or scent warmers.  However, keep in mind, strong smells make people wonder what you are trying to hide.  Think of scents that remind you of "home".  I tend to find that homes that smell like freshly baked foods (cookies, pies, cakes) tend to make buyers smile. Vanilla is probably one of the most popular scents.  If you cannot invest in any new items, tumble a load of clothes with a fabric sheet.  Everyone loves the smell of fresh laundry.  Also, you can put fresh laundry sheets in closets, in air vents and under beds to freshen a stale home.

7. Fresh flowers give a home a finished look.  If you have flowers in your garden, go out and cut a few and put in a nice vase.  Many grocery stores have fresh bouquets for a great price - pick some up and arrange on your kitchen table or on a coffee table.  I have found that daisy type flowers tend to last longer and can be found in many varieties and colors.
For the kitchen, put out a bowl of fresh lemons ( 2 or 3 is just fine).  

 

8. Children's bedrooms are always the hardest to stage and keep clean.  However, it is so important to remember that not all people have children.  So, with that in mind, declutter children's rooms.  Do they have toys that they no longer play with or seldom play with?  Box them up and move them out. Check closets.  Arrange clothes in an organized fashion and get rid of anything that is no longer used.  Beds should be clean and made up for showings.  Clean bedding or new bedding is a must.  The rooms are still your children's rooms, so let them help you clean and give them the opportunity to help decide what stays or goes.  
A fresh coat of neutral paint will go a long way with buyers.

9. Remove any extra furniture.  Still have that baby bed in the children's room - only your child is 6?  Take it down and put it in storage, sell it, or donate it. The object is to make a room look large.  Unfortunately, the more furniture in a room, the smaller it will look.  Get advice from a friend or realtor to see what items can be moved out.
A room will need to make sense.  Do you have a bedroom that is being used as a walk in closet? Do you have a dining room that you are using as an office or game room?  Turn those rooms into what they were originally designed for.  You want to make your buyers understand how the rooms are laid out.  Again, this might be a good time to invite your Realtor over for advice.


When getting your home ready for potential buyers to tour, don't be overwhelmed.  Recruit the help of family and friends and definitely call on the help of experts.  Your Realtor knows what buyers are looking for and can help guide you in the path to get your home sold quickly!

What to do in Evansville, Indiana - CHEAP

Spring has officially SPRUNG!  That means that the sun will be shining, temperatures will be rising and those that have had the winter Blahs will be ready to get out and about!

Being the bargain hunter that I am, what better way to make memories than to save money, too!

Here are my favorite things to do in Evansville:


MESKER PARK ZOO

Open 9:00 am - 4pm daily, Mesker Park offers fun for all ages.  Vanderburgh residents get a $1 discount!
My advice:  Become a Member!   Not only do you get to enjoy the benefits of the zoo anytime for one price, but you get to enjoy free tram rides and free or discounted admission to many zoos and aquariums that are members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.  
No matter how many times we go, we always see something new and have a blast exploring.





LST Memorial 325

The LST 325 has been a labor of love to bring the ship to Evansville.  The ship is fully restored and is in "ship shape" - as it was in it's proud warship days.  
A sense of American pride will overwhelm you as you take a tour throughout the ship - which includes the Main Deck, Troop Berthing, Tank Deck, Mess Deck, Galley, Stern of ship (Guns and Anchor), Wheel House, Officer's Country and the Captain's Cabin. It includes 3 sets of stairs down and 3 sets of stairs up.  Great for kids of all ages, however, it will be difficult for individuals with health problems or baby strollers.  (just my opinion)




Children's Museum of Evansville

The Children's Museum of Evansville (CMOE) is a great place to let the kiddos run and have fun.  There are so many interactive exhibits that adults may find themselves having as much fun as the kiddos.  
My advice:  Become a member!  Not only do you get free admission to the wonderful exhibits of the museum, special invitations to fun events, discounts to birthday parties and camps, but you also get discounts or free admission to other museums nationwide with their reciprocal program.

Winter BLAH Day idea list




Although we have had an amazingly mild winter and the days have been beautiful with sunshine, it is still hard to let the kiddos out on colder days.
So just in case you have some stir crazy kiddos, I have put together a Winter BLAH day idea list:

Evansville has so many things to do to get out of the house that are either free or relatively inexpensive.  Here are few that you can take the kiddos to:

Mesker Park Zoo has the wonderful Amazonia exhibit!  I can spend hours in there watching all the animals.  You can check that out here:  http://www.meskerparkzoo.com/
They have events throughout the month that are extremely interactive with the little ones.

Evansville African American Museum Located closer to downtown, this exhibit is has artifacts from the original buildings from 1930's and also showcases local artists, traveling exhibits and giftshop.
For the smaller kiddos, they usually have great craft days on the weekends.  Check their schedule for events:  https://evansvilleaamuseum.wordpress.com/

Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Sciences Located downtown on the river, the museum has undergone many renovations. The latest is the Koch Immersive Theater.  You can't help but be amazed at the many exhibits.  You can check out the schedule here: http://www.emuseum.org/



And of course, if you haven't been there - you MUST go.....
Children's Museum of Evansville Located downtown Evansville near the Ford Center, this place is loaded with fun.  Make sure you bring your sneakers because you are going to want to get involved with the interactive goodies with the kiddos!  You can check out all the fun things right here:  http://www.cmoekids.org/    The kiddos will even enjoy the website!

Now, if you are looking for ideas for exercise, Evansville has a lot of fun things to do!  
The YMCA of Southwest Indiana has two locations!  One is downtown and the other is on the east side off of Burkhardt.  Both have plenty of things to do to keep kiddos and momma/daddy happy!

Love to Ice Skate?  Swonder Ice Arena is a beautiful indoor arena that has given most of the large competitive ice arenas in the midwest a run for their money! You can check out their hours and prices here:  http://www.skateswonder.com/


Being that I am far from the crafty moms out there, I will still send you here for some great indoor craft ideas.  Or, how about here
Here is another great website that has a lot of indoor craft ideas.


The time with family is so short.  Enjoy it.  Embrace it.  Make memories.

Got any more ideas?  Email me.  I'll be happy to post them!

2015? What happened to 2014?


WHAT?? 2015??
I used to hear it all the time from my parents: "Where does the time go?"
Now I understand why they said that.  I'm thinking that now!  Where in the world did 2014 go?  And 2013 and 2012 for that matter?

Goals were set.  Days, weeks and months quickly zipped by. 
Some of my hightlites include a trip to the Dominican Repulic - spending two days in the Atlanta Airport (no thank you, Delta Airlines).  I was blessed to spend some wonderful time with my daughter, Catie.
I flew to Los Angeles for a week for ERA's International Business Conference.  There I was honored to be selected as one of the top 3 Rookie of the Year for 2013 - Internationally!  (WOW! Still blows my mind!)  There in LA, I got to spend some time with wonderful colleagues touring the city and quality time with my hubby.
I spent a few days in St. Louis with my wonderful family camping and visiting Grant's Farm.
I spent another week in Orlando at Disney with my entire family and had the time of our lives. 
Workwise: I doubled my year from last year both in production and wonderful clients.  
I started my own radio program for real estate.
I hired a wonderful Assistant (Miss Micha) that has helped me physically, mentally and spiritually. She is definitely a God send. 

So here we are.....the last few days of 2014 and we reflect on our good times, bad times and questionable times.  

As I reflect, I do not dwell on the bad times or question the questionable times.  I have embraced the knowledge that everything happens for a reason.  I also know that mistakes I have made in the past do not define who I am.  Mistakes are lessons learned.   I move on.  I also thank God for good things and bad things.  All my experiences are ordained.  The people I have met and the wonderful clients that I have worked with......all sent directly to me.  God is awesome like that.

I have been blessed with this wonderful opportunity to help people.  I help buyers find the home of their dreams and I help sellers sell their home.  It's a great thing.  I love what I do and I actually GET PAID FOR IT!  I still can't believe it.  I am one lucky girl!



So....bring it on 2015.  I'm ready for you.  I'll meet new clients, new co workers and new friends.  I'll have new experiences (both good and bad) and new goals to meet.   I'm excited to see what this year will bring. Bring It.

Visions of a NON Domestic Goddess




So I've never been all domestic (AKA Susie Home Maker).  And honestly, have always been a bit green with envy for those that are.  My creative counterparts can envision a project the minute they see something that they can use. (Karol Bryant, Cori Walton and my mom)

So, with the holidays upon us, all I can do is scan the internet of all these wonderful ideas and just "Pin" them to my Pinterest wall and know beforehand, that they will never be tried.

I thought I would share them with you.  Maybe someone can use some of these oh so cool ideas.

Family time for the holidays






One of the many wonderful things about my childhood was the Christmas traditions that we had as a family.  Because I was raised as an Air Force Brat, we were several hundred miles away from family.  Therefore, our Christmas was usually spent with friends and other military families.

Our family always spent Christmas Eve as our "Santa Visit" and our presents miraculously arrived on Christmas Eve as we were out looking at Christmas lights.  It was always amazing the way that Santa always knew when we were gone.  His timing was impeccable.

This is the best time of year for making memories with family and friends!  Here are some great things to do in Southern Indiana to this Christmas Season:

Being Thankful


The holidays are upon us and a time of reflection always occurs this time of year.

I am particularly thankful for the clients (who I can now call my friends) that I have had this year.  God has truly blessed me with wonderful people in my life.

As we sit down with family and friends, please remember those that may not have the blessings that we have.  There are many people that are lonely that may not have friends and family to spend holidays with.

As a child growing up in the military, we were always hundreds of miles from relatives.  Therefore, our holidays always included single service men and women that had no where to go for the holidays.  Our holidays were filled with many people laughing, eating and sharing.  (thank you, mom and dad for those memories)

As we approach the holiday season, do you know someone that may enjoy your company, home and yummies?  Invite them.  Start a new tradition.

May you and your family have a wonderful Holiday!!

Questions about home financing? Here's a radio program just for you!

I sat down with Neil Gilles of Mortgage Masters in Evansville to talk about financing.  If you had questions about financing your home, take a few minutes and listen to the program.  Hopefully, your questions will be answered!

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

This Rookie has a radio program!!

I work with 90% of buyers.  It's not what I had intended to do, it's just been what I have been blessed with doing.  Because I work with buyers, I receive a LOT of questions about the industry.
I now have my own radio talk show on WVHI AM 1330 !!
I talk Real Estate.  Have questions?  Please feel free to email me or call me and ask them.  I will find someone to come on the show and talk about the questions that you have!!

This program will be aired on WVHI on Wednesdays and Fridays from 4:00-4:15 pm.

This particular program was with Accurate Inspections.  We discuss the importance of having home inspections, what you can expect and what an inspector looks for. (click the link below)

I hope find it entertaining and informative!  #radiotalk #realestate #home #inspection #evansvilleindiana #realtorinevansville
