Moving Offices?

We’re moving offices this week and things are getting pretty hectic. Fortunately, we found some great movers in Fairfax VA to help make the transition to our new location much smoother. They provided us with some great packaging equipment including huge, reusable boxes and lots of bubble wrap. They’ll also be here on Wednesday to pack all of our boxes up, and help remove and move some of the larger pieces in the office. They've made my life, as the office coordinator so much easier! 

Cross-Country

I thought that getting a new job was going to be one of the most exciting times in my life. I’m still young, learning and its very early in my career. I was moving from San Francisco to Washington DC and as I looked around my small cramped living space that I called my West Coast home, I didn’t have that much stuff.  My bed is a full, my dresser is extremely light and from a thrift store, I figured I’d just pack up my car and see the country on my way to my new job. It made it even more exciting to begin packing. I got to D.C. without any problems along the way which is seemingly unheard of, and then I realized… I live in a five floor walk up, I’m in a new city, I don’t know anyone, and I have big pieces of furniture to move. I had my brothers help me in California, how was I going to do this alone? I pushed the mattress thinking that would work but it budged only about an inch. Twenty minutes into being drenched in the DC summer morning sun, I looked into a moving company in Montgomery County MD. Do not try and move by yourself, I’m sure it could be done, but I’ve never heard a success story!

Thanksgiving Come and Gone

December. Thanksgiving has come and gone, but my carpets are still stained from where my dear Uncle Fred dropped his overloaded plate.  We cleaned it up the best we could, but I think my carpets are going to need a little extra TLC. They’re still hurting from last Thanksgiving when clumsy Uncle Fred spilled his wine! I’ve thought about seeking professional carpet cleaning in Riverview FL, but haven’t made the plunge yet. I’ve lived here my entire life, and have always attempted to clean my own carpets. But then, last week, my neighbor got their carpets cleaned. I couldn’t believe the difference! Carpet cleaning is now at the front of my mind, and if I’m going to let these carpets live through next year’s Thanksgiving, it’s time to take the plunge.

Puppy Training!

Having a new puppy is hard work! My daughter wanted a beagle for her birthday and worked hard around the house to get one. We all fell in love with Bopper as soon as we named her, but we were not as prepared as we thought to potty train her. As you can expect, accidents ensued on our white carpet… thankfully I looked up carpet cleaning in Brandon FL after I tried everything to get the stains out on my own.  It turns out, my carpet cleaners made the situation even worse. Next time, I’ll call them first! 

Winston Tore Up My Carpet!

Our pets are our best friends. If your cat’s anything like my Winston, he may wake you up in the morning by nuzzling against your face or think the best time to play is 3 am. He may also have gotten a bit confused between the cat tower and your carpet. Yep, that’s right my cat tore my carpet apart! I wasn't sure if there was a way to fix patches of ripped up carpet, but called my local carpet repair company in Tampa FL who assured me they could have it fixed in no time.  They were able to patch up the holes Winston created and leave the carpet looking brand new! Don’t worry, I've already moved Winston’s cat tower! 

The Benefits Of Hiring A Fencing Contractor

Are you debating whether you should build your fence yourself or hire a fence contractor in Paramus NJ? Question no further! Fence contractors can help make your fencing dreams a reality. Not only do they provide quality materials, they’re able to suggest new trends and designs which can revitalize your lawn. They also handle all of the zoning, so all you have to do is research the right contractor for you. 

Moving On Up!

My brother called me this morning with the following news: "Its official, I’m moving to Arlington VA!" Like with all of our moves, he called me to help research the top things to do in Arlington, so we decided to share that list with all of you…

1. Arlington Cemetery – A military cemetery where veterans of every American war since the Revolution are buried
2. Synetic Theater – In December they will be putting on their version of A Midsummers Night’s Dream
3. DEA Museum – Am I the only one who can’t get over the loss of Breaking Bad?
4. Take a tour of the pentagon – Apparently this is a great look into the mission of the DoD
5. Theodore Roosevelt Island – a great way to get out of the city life and enjoy 2 ½ acres of foot trails
6. Skating at Kettler Capitals Iceplex  - can’t wait to skate on the ice the Capitals practice on!
