You’d think with more time at home I’d be motivated to stay on top of housework. If only it were that easy, huh? ⁣
⁣
The good news is there’s no need for any of us to be in a constant cleaning frenzy. Here's what Good Housekeeping recommends be done weekly:⁣
⁣
• Change sheets⁣
• Dust surfaces and furniture⁣
• Vacuum and mop floors⁣
ª Wash towels⁣
ª Clean bathrooms⁣
• Toss expired food⁣
⁣
Owning a home is a lot of work but totally worth it! If you’re looking to buy and need a realtor you can trust like a friend, send me a message. I’d love to connect.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I know you’re anxious to give 2020 one final heave-ho way back into last year. (Seriously, me too.) But before zooming into 2021, let’s not miss the chance to reflect on the extraordinary year we’ve just lived through. Pretty sure we’ll never see another one like it!⁣
⁣
(This is where we pause and reflect). ⁣
⁣
Now that that's done, it’s time to stare down 2021 and get serious about making it the BEST year ever! What’s on your mind as you think about the year ahead? ⁣
⁣
• A goal to set or settle?⁣
• A habit to nix or nurture?⁣
• A hobby to ignore or explore?⁣
• A relationship to mend or end?⁣
• A skill to meet or master?⁣
• A house BUY or SELL? (I can help with that!)⁣
⁣
Whatever you aspire to this year, go for it! There’s no time like NOW to take hold of your dreams.
