Home Staging For You

Tuesdays Treasures…Holiday Baking! Baking holiday treats always puts me in the holiday spirit!  Larry and I make several different kinds of cookies each year and share them with our family, friends, and a few of our walking buddies!  Decades ago I started a tradition of making small Holiday Carro...

Acts of Kindness…Laughter and Compassion for Others  In early 2020 when we had to stay in, we needed something to keep our spirits up.
