I hope that this finds you warming back up and ready for the weekend. Last week's unusually cold weather meant some extra time at home for me and likely for you, too. I hope that it was restful and that you're energized for these last couple weeks of January.
This week's note is about planning and preparing, whether that's prepping for winter weather with our latest video, organizing and upgrading your home, or getting it ready for a future sale.
Whatever you're up to this weekend, I hope it's a great one!
