Free Seminar in Nashville: affordable, green building construction

Got this email recently from a friend of mine, Lynn Taylor.  She’s a local architect that specializes in urban infill with a vintage feel.  If you are in the Nashville area, this may be a great seminar to go to.  If you aren’t, I bet Lynn would love to hear from you and maybe she […]

joyce jackson and kids safety

So, I had a really interesting phone conversation with a woman named Joyce Jackson recently. We were connected by Chris Tabscott of Titan Home Loans here in Nashville. She’s out on the West Coast so at first I was confused – what would she need with a professional organizer and home stager based in Franklin, […]

organizing seminar on papers – fun!

I really like teaching seminars. I did two this week on office organization – mostly papers, filing and emails. Had great attendance at both and met some terrific people.

The Home Energy Diet by Paul Scheckel

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 […]

frugality, getting in the media and eating squirrels

I do love reading other blogs – and come across a lot that I’ve subscribed to. I’ve also been submitting content to articles and blogs through HARO which is a daily log of reporters looking for information from experts (and non-experts). I look at this as a way to share what I know, and, who […]
