New Season, New Adventures: A Cozy Holiday Update
I've been a bit quiet lately, swept up in the whirlwind of fall festivities, a dynamic real estate market, and celebrating my milestone 40th birthday! Now, as we edge toward the holiday season, I'm excited to share some festive insights and market updates.
Thanksgiving: Getting Kids Involved
There's something special about Thanksgiving's emphasis on togetherness. For those hosting at home this year, I have a delightful DIY project to share. Create eco-friendly napkin rings using foraged materials and upcycled paper towel rolls. It's a perfect way to keep little ones engaged while preparing for the feast. My son is already excited about his upcoming nature scavenging mission!
Smart Holiday Lighting Tips
For my fellow holiday decorating enthusiasts, here's a game-changing tip: LED lights are revolutionary. Did you know you can connect 21 strands to a single outlet without overloading? While the initial investment might seem steep, these energy-efficient lights offer:
- Lower electricity bills
- Reduced fire risk
- Cool-to-touch safety for children
- Extended lifespan
- Multiple strands on one outlet

Real Estate Market Update
We talk a lot about wanting community, but most of us are waiting for it to find us. The truth is, community isn't something that happens to you. It's something you build, one small choice at a time.
Someone said that to me when they chose me to sell their home. Honestly? It's still my favorite thing anyone's ever said. Not "you know the market." Not "you have great reviews." Just — you are this place.
Three years. I keep saying those words out loud because it genuinely doesn't feel like it's been that long and yet the weight of everything this gala represents makes it feel like so much more.
