Holly Day Fair Fayetteville NC - 10/27/10 12:21 AM
Holly Day Fair Fayetteville NC

November 4th - 7th
Charlie Rose Agri-Expo Center
131 E. Mountain Drive Fayetteville NC 28306
I ABSOLUTLY love the Holly Day Fair!  The assortment of gifts and crafts are endless!  It has been a tradition for me to go every year. 
Thursday is a GREAT day to go. Why? Because they limit the tickets sold and there are no strollers allowed during that time so it is much easier to get around.  But I must say anytime is a great time to spend the day visiting all of the booths!

Is It A Good Time To Buy A House?? - 10/22/10 04:44 PM
The MILLION dollar question... Is it a GOOD time to buy a house?
I get asked this question ALL the time.  I try to give my potential buyers the information that they need to make a sound decision and then let them decide. It seems as though it works better if you see it for yourself.  The change with the interest rate in the last year has made a big impact on what buyers are qualifying for.  So what you qualify to buy today would not be what you would have qualified for last year. Today you would actually get MORE … (16 comments)

Everthing BUT The Kitchen Sink..... - 10/18/10 10:43 PM
OK we have all heard the term "everything BUT the kitchen sink".  I have never really understood that saying but I have probably said it a few times...

At my house EVERYTHING revolves around the kitchen sink! The first thing you do everyday is put something into it after you have gathered in the kitchen for breakfast and the last thing that you do at the end of the day is clean everything up in it and get it ready for another day.
That got me thinking about the story my sink can tell....

You see just UNDER my … (12 comments)

3D/4D Ultrasound @ Little Miracles
The joy of having a baby is a blessing all in itself! But with today's technology it is just AMAZING what you get to see when your pregnant...

My neice recently had a baby and for a suprise I took her to get a 3D/4D Ultrasound.  When I booked the appointment I opted for the 30minute session, I was thinking that is a long time to sit and look at the screen.  I am so glad I did that time really flew by.  We got to see him hold his umbilical cord, suck his thumb, … (5 comments)

Tips You Need To Know From Certified Staging Agent - 10/09/10 01:48 PM
I am a Certified Staging Agent, tips that you need to know!
One of the biggest things that you need to know is the true meaning of home staging.  Home staging is used to highlight the good things about the property and down play the bad.  It is not Interior Designing, not as people know anyway.  If you were to call a Interior Designer to come in and make your house your home, you would be decorating for your taste for the time that you are going to be living in the home.  Home Staging leans more towards Neutralizing the … (5 comments)

On A Personal Note.... What I Have Been Doing - 10/05/10 09:47 PM

I have not been around much the last couple of days... I have been slightly pre occupied with my niece Misty.  She had a beautiful baby boy yesterday, boy what a LONG day!  I have given birth to my own children. But I must say it is amazing to be a part of when you are NOT the one having the baby, all you lucky men out there. The miracle of birth must be one of the most magical experiences on earth.  I have watched my grandson enter the world, now my Nephew and I will be welcoming another Grandson … (10 comments)

But alas it is in fact now six years later and she will be celebrating her Thirteenth birthday on November 5th. So it is time for a change....

Change is something that we continually face on life's journey.  We look forward to having children, they … (6 comments)
