  • Creating Holiday Traditions For Your Family

    The following post has been scheduled in advance. We are currently awaiting the arrival of our second child and details in this post may or may not be relevant at this time.  One of many perks of being a parent is being able to come up with funky things for your little ones to enjoy.

    Whenever you’re going shopping, there’s a list of things you need to look into, mainly the quality of the product/service. And buying a home isn’t any different. I’ve been looking at homes here in South Florida since before we decided to make the move almost two years ago. One thing I’ve noticed is location means everything.
