*{ 5 Signs It's Time For A New Roof }*

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, but how do you know when to replace your roof? Without a solid roof, water can get into your home and cause all sorts of damage. Everything from damaging drywall, ruining carpet, rotting wood, promoting mold growth and damaging personal belongings. A small leak in your roof can cost you thousands of dollars in repairs, so it’s better to be proactive than reactive.

Obviously you want to get as much out of your current roof as you can, as replacing your roof is a large investment. But if you wait too long to replace your roof, you’ll end up paying for a new roof + interior and exterior repairs if water gets in. One of the biggest mistakes many people make is to wait until their roof starts leaking to replace it.

1. Missing Or Blown Off Shingles
2. Curled Or Cracked Shingles
3. Dark Spots On Your Roof
4. Damp Or Dark Spots In Your Attic
5. Excessive Moss Growth On Your Roof

*{Cheap Ways To Feel Better About Your Home}*

You know those days when you just feel down and out? You're having a bad hair day, your clothes don't seem to fit right, you skip your work-out and just pig out instead. The same thing can happen with your home, feels like it just lost its spunk! Although you might think a new sofa or a flatscreen TV will get your home out of its frumpy slump, but you might be better off starting with a few 'cheap' ways to spruce up your space and get its personality back...

Clean Your Home- 

Seriously, Just Clean! It instantly improves your environment and it cost nothing. Plus, a new sofa wont fix a dirty house.

Get Rid Of Something-

Just do it! Get rid of that chunky furniture piece that you couldn't find space for so you shoved it in a corner and piled stuff on it. Free up that space and the room feels more open.

Paint- 

Obviously nothing perks up a room like a fresh coat of paint. A color that will really pop and compliment the things you already own. Boom, your on a whole new level.

Rearrange your furniture-

I use this trick all the time! It changes the whole layout of the room. Its free and it gives you a great work-out. I call that a Win-Win!

Upgrade Something-

Get crafty!! This doesn't mean you have to go and buy something, get funky fabric and change out your throw pillows, revive and old piece of furniture and make it a focal point. You could even reupholster your chairs.

Fix Something-

a faucet that always drips, a closet door that squeaks, broken door knob. Anything. I bet you will feel better once its working again!

#ChristmasSpirit

Snowflakes in the air
Carols Everywhere
Olden Times, and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh Bells in the air

Beauty Everywhere

Yuletide by the fireside
And Joyful memories there
Christmas time is Here
Families Drawing Near
Oh! That we could always see such spirit through the year! 

 

# Spreading Fun Holiday Smiles

 

 

 

**Christmas Calm Con't**

6. Cut the Clean-a-thon- Focus cleaning attention on Kitchen and public rooms; private areas can slide till seasons end.

7. Downsize dishwashing- Hard-washing fine china is nobody's idea of a good time, so move to everyday stoneware....

8. Finger Food, not Feast- A smorgasbord of tasty tid-bits is easier on the cook and kinder to the waistline than a sit-down dinner. Share the work by hosting pot-lucks!

9. Buy, Don't Bake!- Turn your back on your oven this year. Supermarkets and bakeries are a great source for delicious, pre baked holiday treats. 

10. Stay Home- Cuddling down close to the hearth beats Holiday Travel any day. A holiday "stay-cation" allows for evening drives to see the lights, family camp outs in front of the Christmas tree. and evenings spent with carols and popcorn. Fun!

 

 

**Christmas Calm: 10 Tips for a Stress-Free Holiday Season **

1.Prune the To-Do list- Ask," If I don't do this, what will happen? Aim to knock down the list of chores to the rock-bottom necessity

2.Cut The Gift List- Reign in gift exchanges that have been outgrown or lost their meaning. Limit gifts to a children only, draw names, or organize a gift exchange.

3.Wrap As You Go- Who needs to spend Christmas Eve catching up on wrapping chores?

4.Call, Don't Send Cards- Reach out and touch someone...The easy Way. Online greeting cards are easy, inexpensive & fun to send. No more post office lines.

5.Scale Back Décor- substitute a simple door wreath for outdoor lighting, a tabletop tree for the over-the-top tannenbaum.
