Heart & Home: Simple Joys of Housekeeping and Gardening

As a Realtor®, I step into homes every day. It’s easy to tell which homes have been loved and cherished. A home’s energy speaks to you the moment you walk through the door. A cozy, well-tended home is more than just a place—it’s a feeling.

I’ll be the first to admit that I struggle when keeping a cleaning routine, but I do believe housekeeping is a quiet act of love that brings comfort and calm to your everyday life. It’s tough to balance all the demands of life when you’re part of the sandwiched generation, and our homes can sometimes reflect that chaos. With that in mind, I’m offering thoughtful homemaking tips and gentle routines that can help you maintain a warm, peaceful home that feels like a refuge. 

Step outside, and the garden offers that same peaceful magic. Whether you’re planting herbs on the windowsill, tending flower beds, or growing vegetables to nourish your family, gardening brings beauty, purpose, and joy to each season. From home care to garden care, these everyday tasks are little rituals that help us slow down, savor the moment, and take pride in the place we call home.

A well-maintained home is easier to sell, with fewer bumps during the inspections phase. Not only do I offer personal homemaking tips, I offer professional advice on home maintenance that will help you enhance your home’s value when the time comes to move.
