Each Thursday I will focus on the market and the home buyer or seller. We are in difficult times and folks are not sure what to do when it comes to real estate. Should I buy? Should I sell? Are pricing going down? Going up?

Studies show that locally-owned businesses create more jobs, and in some sectors, provide better wages, benefits, and working conditions than national chains.

I couldn't say it better than the Biddeford-Saco Buy Local - so here you go

I am very fortunate to be a mom of 3 amazing children. Currently my middle daughter is a 2nd grader in Young School – Saco. I am so fortunate to have moved to Saco just in time for her to start school there. She has grown so much both intellectually and socially.

The school is committed not only to the children that attend but to the community that they represent. It starts with their Shared Statement of Commitment.

Our school community respects the differences among learners and responds to their individual needs.

As a blogger and a consultant, I get asked a lot about how I manage my blog. Being in the middle of National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) and having some extra eyes on my blog (hi there!), I thought I would blog about plugins I use.
