ANNOUNCEMENTS

Moving Made Easy: Typically, moving is never an easy experience... Some say it is as stressful as divorce or death! If you've been thinking about selling your home and moving during this slumping housing market, you don't want to miss this important Here We Are Radio Show topic, Moving? The "Must Do's & Don'ts" of Staging and Selling a House.

My guest, Susan Devaney, CEO of Moving Mavins will share her expertise on getting your own house in order AND how to approach the overwhelming task of moving a senior family member. Join us on Friday, April 15 at 11:30 am EST to learn important tips from this Real Estate and Relocation expert that will save you money, time, and stress when selling a home. Note: Sorry for the change in date, an unexpected scheduling issue arose.

A Home Away From Home: HWA is now available on the Kindle! If you prefer reading blogs on your Kindle, HWA can be fully downloaded so you can catch up on our better, brighter, easier information even when you're not wirelessly connected. Perfect to keep our Recipes or Shopping articles handy when you're at the store! NOTE: There is a 14 day free trial period, then a small monthly connectivity fee.

UPDATE

Gift of The Month: We are waiting on a response from the March gift recipient of the book, "Paint It Black" by Janet Fitch. We will announce the name in the May Announcements article.

In honor of the recent article, Bathroom Renovation: Welcome To The Jungle, the April gift is a fun, useful set of notepaper by Tri-Coastal Design with a sassy leopard print motif. I got one as a gift and liked it so much that I bought one for a lucky HWA email subscriber, see the picture under GIFT OF THE MONTH in the right-hand sidebar.

REMINDERS

Moving Winter Sweaters Into Storage: As we move into the spring, it is time to wash your winter sweaters and store them away. If you are unsure about washing your cashmere items at home, check out You Can Dare To Wash Cashmere... In The Washing Machine for a step by step how-to on keeping your lovely woolens wearable for next year.

Flower Of The Month: April's flower is the Sweet Pea (Lathyrus Odoratus). Blooming in a variety of colors, its general meaning is good-bye, but its secret meaning is "thank you for a lovely time." A pretty alternative for saying Thank You!

Here are sweet-peas, on tip-toe for a flight:

With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white,

And taper fingers catching at all things,

To bind them all about with tiny rings.

~ John Keats, Poet (1795-1821), I Stood Tip-Toe Upon A Little Hill
