Remember middle school social studies (yeah, sorry

Remember middle school social studies (yeah, sorry to bring that up)? We all learned the difference between wants and needs. Needs? Food, clothing, shelter, and water. Wants? Pretty much everything else.⁣
⁣
To help focus your house hunting, we’re going to make a wants vs. needs list all of your very own. So grab a pen and paper or your phone and favorite note-taking app and don’t worry—I’m here to help keep the two categories straight.⁣
⁣
Here’s a simple definition. Needs are the non-negotiable features; the features you simply must have in yor next home. Wants are the ones you’d like to have, but you can add or change down the road.⁣
⁣
Needs might be things like:⁣
⁣
• Enough square footage for you and your family⁣
• Sufficient bedrooms and bathrooms⁣
• First floor master bedroom⁣
• Close proximity to work and school⁣
• Attached two-car garage⁣
• Grassy yard for children's or pet's play area⁣
⁣
Wants will look more like:⁣
⁣
• Specific paint or exterior color⁣
• Pool, jacuzzi, or other exterior water feature⁣
• Fenced-in backyard⁣
• Specific carpet, hardwood floors, or tile⁣
• Kitchen amenities like countertops and appliances⁣
• Walk-in shower or double bathroom vanity in master⁣
⁣
Don’t feel like your first draft has to be your final draft—and above all else, remember you can’t change the lot, the location, or the price you paid so spend a good amount of time thinking through those three before moving on. ⁣
⁣
If you’ve been working through the 90 Day to Homeowner Challenge, you’ve made a huge investment in yourself and your future. (Remember, it's not too late to join – Send me a message for more info!)⁣
⁣
Pre-approval and wants vs. needs checklist in hand? Give me a call and let’s find you the 2021 home of your dreams!

It’s six days before the spookiest day of the ye

It’s six days before the spookiest day of the year—know what that means? It’s National Pumpkin Day and a perfect time to sharpen those knives, grab some gloves, and carve out some good times and magnificent pumpkins!⁣
⁣
Nail the pumpkin this year with these carving tips.⁣
⁣
1. Have a plan. Draw out what you plan to do before making the first cut. A fine point permanent marker works great. Need some inspiration? Find hundreds of printable carving templates online.⁣
2. Gather your tools. Literally anything that’s sharp can be helpful—small knives, lemon zesters, exacto knives, even handsaws. Peruse the kitchen and garage to see what you have on hand and snag anything that might work.⁣
3. Cut the back, not the top. Removing the top stem cuts off the pumpkin’s vine and messes with its structure. Make a hole in the back of the pumpkin to remove seeds and all the goop.⁣
4. Work up and down. Begin cutting at the center of your design and work your way out. Use an up and down motion to ensure your cut pieces pop-out clean and easy.⁣
5. Use LED tea lights. To last longer, you want to keep your pumpkin cool. Use LED tea lights instead of candles to illuminate your masterpiece.⁣
⁣
Happy carving, friends—I’m off to find a template or two for my own front porch pumpkins!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but remember, even when the moon looks like it’s waning, it’s actually never changing shape. You are the same glorious creature you always were, and you only need to believe in yourself to push through and shine your very brightest!
Make it happen! I’m rooting for you! Happy Sunday 🤗😉

This year’s biggest fashion trend? Cozy with a c

This year’s biggest fashion trend? Cozy with a capital C! ⁣
⁣
If you're like me, the weekends (and your work-from-home weekdays), find you in the comfiest of clothes, relaxing on the couch.⁣
⁣
Get surroundings to match with these tips for a super cozy home sweet home this fall.⁣
⁣
• If you’re game for painting, chose a warm color. Note: That gray you love is by nature a cool color, so you’ll need to flip to the other side of your paint deck.⁣
• Decorate with old books. Hit up your local thrift store and grab some old hardcover books with sophisticated bindings. Don’t ignore books with paper jackets—there’s often a gem of a cover hiding just beneath.⁣
• Think plaid, texture, and gingham for sofa throws and pillows. While you’re at it, toss a blanket on the foot of your bed for those extra chilly nights.⁣
⁣
Take cozy to the next level as the temps drop lower and lower.⁣
