🎁🎁💐Ohio, please represent this holiday season: And I don't mean donning your OH- gear. I mean, buy from the business owners who live (and pay taxes) (and employ others) in YOUR state. And please shout out your own favorite local businesses in the comments (here or at the blog) because 1- that's the point and 2- I love to profile small businesses and their stories, so your mention may lead to an article for that local organization. #winwin #ohiosmallbusiness #shoplocal

Is your kitchen feeling more crowded than a gourmet food market on a Saturday? Let's simplify! Start by rummaging through every cabinet, drawer, and pantry nook. Toss what's expired or broken, and bid farewell to the gadgets you haven't touched since last spring. Clear containers or chic baskets? That's your next move for a Pinterest-worthy pantry. And those extra six spatulas? It's time to donate, discard, or deal them away. Your reward: a kitchen that's as inviting as the aroma of fresh coffee on a Sunday morning. It's not just decluttering; it's reclaiming your space! #NinaCollinsRealEstate #FlipFlopRealEstate #LiveWhereYourHeartIsHappy #realestatetips #referralsappreciated #realtor #nyrealtor #buyersagent #homebuyers #firstimehomebuyers #homesellers #westchestercounty #homebuyertips #preapproval #homesellertips #homeownership #relocationservices #marketupdates

Quality matters, however what quality is depends on what you value. 🙋♂️ My brother & I play softball most Thursday nights. We play at two fields in Dearborn, MI. One is right across the street from this donut shop. 🍩 So, we have made it a tradition that if we play at the field across the street, after the game we are stopping for donuts! My kids in the morning are very in favor of this! 😍 So, what makes this place special? 😚 It goes back to quality! Quality = my (your) standards 🤷♂️ This place has really good donuts! 😁 1) The taste of the donuts are amazing, you know they put care into their ingredients. 2) The texture of the donuts are fluffy, you know they put care into their ingredients. With these being great donuts compared to other places, I will pay a little extra and really enjoy my experience. 💍 Now, I have an In-Law on the other-hand that feels quality is a product or service that is operated and provided at the lowest price. 😵 That can be beneficial to potentially not over-extend on spending. However that means for this hypothetical donut shop we would be going to: 1) The taste of the donuts are edible but not delicious, they cut cost to save you money! 2) The texture of the donuts are meh but not enjoyable, but hey they cut costs to save money! So, we saved a little, a couple dollars, on this experience at the expense of having to look at ourselves in the mirror after and say, "am I even happy I ate this". 🤦♂️ For the In-Law they would say, "absolutely, I enjoyed a donut today". 🤗 For me, I'd rather have a great donut and cut costs in other places that really are not providing me the return I'm wanting to receive. 🤔 So at this point, quality is the standards you expect and what you compare to other alternatives. 🤼 There is no wrong quality if it provides the outcome people are looking for. 👍 However, for the quality you receive, are you getting the equivalent value you are paying for? 👆

Moving can be expensive and overwhelming. By following these steps, you can simplify your move and save money: 1. Declutter before packing Before you start packing, take inventory of your belongings and declutter. Donate or sell items you no longer need or use. The less you have to move, the lower your moving costs will be. Plus, you can even earn some extra cash by selling unwanted items. 2. Compare Moving quotes Don't settle for the first moving company you come across. Shop around and compare quotes from multiple moving companies. Look for hidden fees and ask about any discounts or promotions they may offer. 3. consider timing Moving during peak seasons or weekends can result in higher moving costs. Try to schedule your move during the off-season or opt for a weekday when moving companies may offer lower rates. Additionally, booking your move well in advance can help you secure better deals. 4. Pack yourself While hiring professional packers can save you time and effort, it often comes with a hefty price tag. Consider packing your belongings yourself to save money. Start early and use free or inexpensive packing materials such as newspapers, towels, and clothing to cushion fragile items. 5. Use free moving supplies Instead of purchasing brand-new moving boxes and packing materials, explore free alternatives. Visit local supermarkets, liquor stores, or online marketplaces where you can often find free or discounted boxes. Additionally, ask friends or family if they have any leftover packing supplies you can use. Sandra Russen CRS/ABR/GRI Certified Realtor® with Fazendin Realtors 320-226-3217 • russen@fazhomes.com

A Story I Never Expected... 🎄✨ Five years ago, I was starting out in the garage, dreaming of something bigger. The idea of Welsh Luxury Hamper Co. seemed wild, especially after being told my dyslexia would be a barrier to success. But look at us now—sending over 20,000 hampers across the UK and beyond! 🌍 This Christmas feels like a full-circle moment. Each order placed this year not only means we're delivering a bit of Welsh magic to your door, but it also gives me the chance to keep supporting the local businesses that made this journey possible. 📝 So here's the deal: If you want to give the gift of something truly special this Christmas, order now. Every hamper sent is a celebration of the dreamers and doers behind those small businesses. And this year, I want to make sure no one misses out. 🚨 Why order early? Because every hamper is handmade with care and delivered right to your door. Because your order supports over 165 small Welsh businesses. That’s real impact. Because we only have limited stock, and I want YOU to be part of our story this Christmas. 🎁 When you place your Christmas order, you’re not just buying a hamper—you’re becoming part of something bigger.

Moving day doesn't have to be a nightmare! Here are 7 life-saving tips to make it insanely organized and stress-free: 1. Plan Ahead - Create a moving checklist at least a month in advance. Tools like Trello can help you stay on track. 2. Declutter - Sort through your belongings and donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. Less to pack means less stress! 3. Label Everything - Use color-coded labels for each room. Simple color stickers from a stationary store work wonders. 4. Pack an Essentials Box - Keep a box of last-minute essentials like snacks, chargers, and toiletries, so you’re not scrambling to find them. 5. Protect Valuables - Use bubble wrap and sturdy boxes for fragile items. Never underestimate the power of good packing tape! 6. Hire Professionals - Consider using a reliable moving company. Websites like Yelp can help you find trusted movers in your area. 7. Stay Hydrated and Take Breaks - Keep water bottles handy and take short breaks. Moving is hard work, ensure you and your helpers are well-nourished and hydrated. Got any other cool moving day tips?
