Comparing Apples to Boilers - 08:48 AM
Whenever shopping for any item, we tend to compare like items, especially when making a large purchase. With certain things it’s an easy comparison, just like the saying, apples to apples. It’s easy to spot bad fruit or we already know what we like and skip all the other apples all together. Simple. When it comes to larger purchases like cars or appliances, the comparisons can get convoluted and confusing. Since I’m no car expert, I can’t offer any advice in that department, but I do know a little about appliances, in this case heating systems.
There are basically two types … (4 comments)

Coins for Kids~St George Utah Charity~2011 - 01:49 PM
Coins for Kids in St George Utah~2011 is just one of the special charities in our area that really supports those in need. There's a real push for this much-needed charity during the holiday season and it's refreshing to see so many businesses and people get involved to help those less fortunate.  There's usually a large meter displayed in downtown to track the donations and it's fun to see the amount of money donated and how much is still needed to complete their goal.

Selling a House with Children...a staged house. - 12:24 PM
Selling a House with Children...a staged house. 
As professional stagers we frequently have sellers tell us that their family cannot live in a staged home.  Part of the reason that they object is that they cannot imagine convincing their children that "staging" their bedroom is a good idea or that once staged, they will stay that way. 
As a retired classroom teacher I have had many classes and experiences with child psychology and I employ that knowledge with staging.  I know that children, of all ages, will listen more to an outsider (that they trust) than they will their parents.  … (26 comments)

What's Outside Your Window? - 08:16 PM
What's Outside Your Window?
It is always fun to look out the windows of our porch (aka office) as it is mostly windows.  You never know what you might see--birds of all kinds, raccoons, chipmunks, squirrels, skunks, and many other critters.  But one of my favorite sights is the white tail deer that we see pretty much weekly.  This Thanksgiving we had a hungry young deer stop by, but fortunately he wasn't too interested in the turkey--he thought the vinca sounded much more appetizing!
