The Home Energy Diet by Paul Scheckel
Bill and I are really focused on reducing our carbon footprint (hence the 1060 s/f house, large compost pile and re-usable grocery bags). This book hits every aspect of reducing our energy use – with a lot of surprises about things you can do easily (and not so easily). While we already do a lot […]
looking for a great, personable stager in Milwaukee
I got a referral to a really nice agent/broker through a personal friend yesterday. Too bad he’s several states away! My friend lives in Milwaukee and hooked us up through Linked In. I’d love to work with the guy and will be happy to do virtual consults. But what he really needs is a stager […]
Lost Dachshund in Nashville/Brentwood TN area
Hi all – normally I post about real estate stuff but this is a case where realtors can be a big help as the know their areas and know lots of people. I was at the Williamson County Animal Control a few days ago and met the “grand -dad” of Sadie, a lost 4 month […]
To Facebook or Not To Facebook . . . That is the question.
I’ve been invited to join Facebook about a dozen times over the last few weeks. “Friend” me, they say. Some actually are friends, some are business acquaintances, some relatives. I keep wondering – do I give myself a “face” or not. At this point, I”m thinking not. My friend, Angela, keeps asking why not so […]
Book Review: Bit Literacy – perfect for those who use email and computers
This book by Mark Hurst is one of the best I’ve read that focuses on using the web, managing email, and being productive in the age of information. It’s a bit techy but I got a lot out of it and find I use the information from it almost daily when managing my website and […]

bizarre happenings at the dog park – and a lesson in who people really are
I go to the dog park 3 or 4 times a week keep our 2 year old lab busy and occupied so I can actually get some work done in my home office. She usually perks up around 3:45 because she knows our daughter gets home on the bus and there’s a really good chance […]
vacant home staging – setting my priorities and why I’m referring them out
I have been teaching seminars lately – partly as a marketing endeavor but also as a way to clarify my thoughts on organizing and life in general. My seminars this week are on time management but I’ve made the focus goal setting and prioritizing. This went over well in my session yesterday (had about 30 […]
vacant home staging – just don’t love ’em

realtors can be better resources – get to know people who do “stuff”
I’ve been expanding and contracting my business if that makes sense. I’ve been exploring ways of branching out into the areas I love (organizing offices and project managing renovations for sale) and reducing jobs doing things I don’t (like staging vacant houses). So with my project management aspect, here’s another way that realtors can be […]
