Keep Your Home Cool

Spring definitely brings beautiful weather, but it also brings what most Houstonians dread, the heat.

Then it’s time to think about replacing your windows. Take a look at these options that can help you stay cool this spring and summer.

Creative Leftovers

The leftovers are almost the best part about Thanksgiving, aren’t they? Most of us enjoy at least one, giant leftover turkey sandwich stacked with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce; another perennial favorite is to make a big batch of turkey soup you can eat for days, or freeze for later. It’s fun to switch things up, though, so let’s take a look at some creative uses for your leftover Thanksgiving feast.

Thanksgiving Side Dishes

What Thanksgiving side dish do you look forward to the most? Maybe mashed potatoes smothered in gravy, or buttery stuffing chock-full of onions; perhaps you can’t get enough of mom’s green bean casserole, or maybe you skip the sides and go crazy at dessert! No matter which dishes you look forward to most, we have a few suggestions—and resources—to make your Thanksgiving just a little extra delicious!

Creative Corners

Overcast skies and rainy days have us thinking about the cozy corners of our homes; places where we can curl up with a good book, a cup of tea, or our laptops, and spend a few quiet moments. Is there a small space in your home you have been thinking about redesigning or making over? You don’t have to spend a fortune to turn an unused, or underused space, into a quiet corner for reading, studying, or getting some work done.

Are you skipping a summer vacation this year? Maybe your workload is just too heavy, or it’s just not in the budget right now; if you have to skip the long, extended trip but you still want to have a little fun, start thinking about a “staycation” (or two!) that the family can enjoy.
