There is something about the word tradition that equates with family time, whether that is your nuclear family (spouse and kids) or extended family (parents, aunts, uncles, cousins).
This week’s topic from Let’s Blog Off is all about traditions: Â http://letsblogoff.com/what-traditions-do-you-carry-on.html (more…)

Yesterday, I attended a Feng Shui presentation for one of our upcoming communities in San Ramon.  Marsha Golangco did the presentation.  When she talked about the heart of the home for one of the plans, she talked about how creating  a sense of warmth in the heart of the home is good Feng Shui.
The new homes at The Enclave at Waverly Park in Mountain View definitely offer this sense of warmth. Â Check out this view of the great room in the Residence One – it is enticing both as a gathering place when entertaining family and friend as well as the perfect place to hang out as a family. Â A definite sense of warmth of a gathering place right in the heart of the home.

Overheard a conversation in our office earlier this week between our CEO (a known wine lover) and a co-worker about wine on Easter.
Both enjoyed wine over the weekend while spending time with family and friends.
Any excuse to sit back and enjoy this gorgeous time of year, sounds like a good time to me!

View of the models under construction at The Enclave at Waverly Park in Mountain View.
The Enclave at Waverly Park is now open! Â We’ve just opened our newest community and it is receiving rave reviews from prospective home buyers. Â The models will open later this spring. Â Our Warranty rep, Richard, took the lovely photo above.
Merimont is almost sold out! Â There are JUST TWO homes remaining and one of those homes is already on hold! Â If you want a new home in San Bruno, you’ll want to hurry to Merimont!
Redwood Gate in Palo Alto is now selling the final release of prime park locations. Â Each of these homes looks out to the lovely community park with great open space. (more…)

Are you ready for the New Year?
Today marks the start of the metal Rabbit year.
Received an email this week that shared that:
Rabbit years are generally very placid and calm, which is quite welcomed after the ferocious year of the Tiger. It is nice to have some time to rest and lick our wounds after the battles of the previous year.  During a Rabbit year, good taste and refinement shine on all. While politics and international relations still take front stage, during a Rabbit year, force and aggression are replaced by persuasion and diplomacy.  Rabbit years are filled with enjoyment, entertainment and ease. Money is made without much labor, as Rabbit years are prosperous ones filled with luxury and leisure.

If you are like me, you LOVE receiving the holiday cards in the mail.
One of my dearest friends showed me a great way to add the holiday cards to your decorating for the holidays. Â Best part – it just takes some yarn and mini wood clothespins from Michael’s.
I used the hooks at the top of our bookshelves and attached the yarn to either side across the windows in the back of our living room. Â Another option would be to use small picture hangers, also available at Michael’s. Â (more…)

Have you noticed that the news is positive one week and negative the next about the same topic? Â Sometimes it is about how the reporter spins a particular subject that makes it sound really good or really bad.
We each have the ability to tune out the noise. Â Whether it is not watching the news or taking a break from the internet, sometimes it is just a good idea to tune out the outside noise to realize that we are okay where we are at. Genius, right?

There was a great article “Power of Play” in Cooking Light’s October issue*Â that highlighted the benefits of playing. (more…)
