Mistletoe can blossom during the coldest seasons. For centuries the imperishable plant was associated with fertility and vitality, a belief that dates back to an old Celtic legend. Native to Great Britain and other parts of Europe, mistletoe is thought to bring good luck.

Kissing under the mistletoe originated in England. Mistletoe was used to decorate the Kissing Bough, a decoration made of wooden hoops or spheres and greenery. The Kissing Boughs hung in halls or entries during the winter months where the homeowner and visitors would embrace and kiss as a symbolic gesture of goodwill and peace. Over time, mistletoe became associated with kissing, and another well-known lip-locking tradition where couples exchanged kisses beneath a sprig of mistletoe was born.

Will, you be waiting for a smooch beneath the mistletoe this year ?????

The holiday season is ending, and it’s time to start thinking about storage solutions for your Christmas decorations and gift-wrapping essentials. Holiday lights are beautiful on your house or Christmas tree, but the tangled mess that many of us will pull out of the box next year is not pretty. Keep them from tangling by wrapping them around a cord holder or some heavy cardboard. Looking for a wrapping paper storage solution? Try storing them in a garment bag at the back of your closet until next year. Tell us some of your holiday storage secrets.

Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher rated for all fire types. You should also check to ensure the fire extinguisher is charged in case of emergency. Any fire extinguisher older than 12 years should be replaced. And while you are checking your fire extinguisher, be sure to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.

You probably have heard people talk about the down payment. This is the amount of money you put towards the purchase of your home. Down payments often range between 3.5% and 20% of the sales price, depending on many factors, including your loan type, your lender, and your credit history. Academy has low down payment loans, down payment assistance programs, and $0 down loans available. And I'm here to help debunk any myths regarding down payments. Give me a call and I will help you through the journey to homeownership.

If you are a current homeowner, you may have heard different terms surrounding refinancing. One such term is what is called a cash-out refinance. In this mortgage refinance transaction, the new loan amount exceeds the balance of the existing first mortgage. The borrower receives the excess in cash, which can be used for debt consolidation, home improvement, or any other purpose. If you have questions about refinance, please give me a call! I have the expertise to help you navigate this journey of homeownership.
