Halloween Safety Tips for Trick or Treating
Kids look forward to Halloween for many reasons. They like the dressing up in costumes but the mostly they like it for the candy and treats! Who wouldn't? Even some adults still like to go our trick or treating. When you are out this All Hallows Eve, remember a few tips you learned as a kid...
* Children should always go out trick or treating accompanied by a responsible adult. If you have a group of kids going, the parents should choose two or three of them to go along and keep an eye on things.
* Plan a safe route so parents know where their older kids will be at all times. Set a time for their return home. Make sure that your child is old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves and they have a cell phone.
* Remind children not to cut through back alleys and fields if they are out alone. Make sure they know to stay in populated areas and not to go off the beaten track. Let them know to stay in well lighted areas with lots of people around. Explain to them why it can be dangerous for kids not to do this.
* Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you. This way you can check for any problem candy and get the pick of the best stuff!
* Instruct your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car. Explain why this is not a god idea and what to do if someone approaches them and tries to talk to them.
* Take a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars.
* Remember to stay together as a group if going out to Trick or Treat without an adult.
Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Tip for making sure your contractor checks out
With many Americans still focused on staying put and maximizing the value of their current homes, competition is fierce among contractors wooing homeowners for their renovation dollars. All the attention may make homeowners feel like the prettiest girl at the high school dance, but for every "nice guy" who expresses interest, a "bad boy" could be waiting in the wings to take their money and leave their jobs unfinished.
Even though the majority of contractors are honest, homeowners should be aware of the need to check a contractor's business license and the business' financial stability. Few people have money to waste these days, especially those who are already planning to invest in a home improvement or renovation project, so it is more important than ever to choose the right contractor. Here are some steps that can help you ensure you're choosing the right contractor:
Know the facts
In this economy, credit issues are common. You probably know plenty of good, hardworking people who are experiencing financial difficulties right now. It pays to check a contractor and his financial background, however, because it could directly affect his ability to get your job done. If he has limited access to credit, he may be unable to purchase the materials or hire the help he needs to complete your renovation.
Fortunately, it's easy to find online resources that can give you the inside track on a contractor's credentials. Experian, known for its credit reporting and protection services, maintains a database of more than 5 million contractors and their businesses' information. ContractorCheck.com allows consumers to view Experian's data, which includes critical information such as:
* Company name, address and phone number
* Multiple operating addresses
* How long the company has been in business
* License, bonding and insurance information
* Contractor specialties
* A credit review that will reveal any past collection or derogatory credit events
* An easy-to-understand contractor rating
Additionally, the reports include public record information such as liens or judgments against the business. An important fact, as 8.4 percent of the contractors in Experian's database had a lien on file and 6.2 percent had a judgment filed against them.
Know the signs
While most contractors are honest and operate within the law, it pays to know the warning signs of one who is not on the up-and-up. The Federal Trade Commission offers the following tips:
Beware of contractors who solicit door-to-door, only accept cash or who don't have a phone number that is associated with a valid business. Likewise, beware of anyone who offers to discount your job because he will use materials left over from a previous job.
Avoid contractors who ask you to obtain building permits for them, or find them new customers in exchange for a discount. Acquiring necessary permits and marketing his business is part of the contractor's job - not yours.
As with virtually anything in life, if the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. An exceptionally long guarantee or an offer to discount your job as a "demonstration," are often warning signs.
Walk away from high-pressure pitches. If a contractor wants you to make an immediate decision on hiring him, or to fund your project through his preferred lender, consider taking your business elsewhere.
It also pays to find out what other people have to say about the contractor you're considering. Just as you once checked out prospective dates by talking to friends and others who knew the person, you need to do some word-of-mouth contractor research before committing.
Ask the contractor for the names and numbers of past clients he's worked with. But keep in mind, even a reputable contractor is only going to give you contact information for customers he knows were happy with his work, so use these references as one more piece of information, but don't base your decision on them.

Home Trends Reflect Shift in Values
New Priorities Trump Old Rules
The prevalence of non-traditional, open layouts with spacious kitchen and family room areas continues. Today's homeowners are looking for ways to maximize the square footage of their homes, so larger, more gathering-friendly casual spaces are often replacing rarely used formal living and dining rooms.
Options Create Opportunities
Many builders have incorporated flexible spaces that give buyers the option to dedicate a room to meet their specific needs and preferences or to serve multiple purposes. For example, formal dining room calls for a chandelier and open access, whereas double doors and built ins can easily create a private home office or library in the same space. It is now also more common for the owners of older homes to alter their floor plans to work better with the way they live.
Focus of Accessibility, Practicality, and Storage
A growing number of aging baby boomers drive the preference for one-level or two-story designs with the master bedroom downstairs. Storage features such as large closets and rooms with built-in shelves and cabinets maximize the use of space in a smaller footprint.

A Tour of 4737 Exposition Way
Loaded with upgrades and amenities and located in highly sought Bluffs in the Heritage Addition. Offered by the Grove Team for $304,500 - take the tour now!
Go beyond de-cluttering with sophisticated bathroom storage
Look through any interior design magazine and you'll notice one common theme across all the featured homes: a lack of clutter. No matter whether the style is minimalist or maximalist, in the most beautifully decorated homes in the world, you're unlikely to see hairdryers and beauty products sitting out on the bathroom counter. You might think that it's just a trick of styling for a photo shoot, but with the right storage solutions, clutter doesn't need to be a part of any home's decor.
The first step to creating a magazine-ready, uncluttered room is to assess which items you need and which are taking up more space than necessary. If you have an abundance of lotions, soaps and shampoos in your bathroom, make a conscious effort to use them up, until you have just one of each. Make sure that your stash of gadgets isn't too expansive, either. If you have extras that still work, they can easily be donated.
Once you've gotten rid of the excess, look carefully at how you can make alterations to your current bathroom that will better suit your needs and fit the items you need to keep. One of the simplest ways to add extra style and improve the function of your bathroom is to add new cabinetry. And with the advances that have been made in storage solutions, you might be surprised how chic and efficient your bathroom can become in just one step.
The best design ideas are based on how people live, taking into account the mundane tasks people go through every day. For many women, styling their hair is something that must get done every morning, and along with that comes tools like hairdryers and curling irons. These tools also involve high temperatures and unruly cords.
It makes sense to not want to put a hot hairdryer away in a drawer right after using it - it might damage your cabinet or worse, be a fire hazard. That's why so many people end up leaving those items out on the counter, causing unsightly clutter. Some creative thinking on the part of cabinet designers might just make your morning routine a little less cluttered. Cabinets made of glass and metal can withstand those hot temperatures, making them ideal materials for bathroom cabinets and vanities. Models from cabinet maker Robern even include a dedicated hair dryer organizer with in-drawer electrical outlets and a place to keep cords neatly tucked away.
Those who have small bathrooms - whether it's a second bathroom or a space-compromised master - know the hassle of having to lean back to open and close a medicine cabinet door. One new innovation from Robern, ideal for de-cluttering cramped spaces, is a medicine cabinet with seamless mirrored doors that slide up, rather than open out. Simply changing out your existing cabinet for these new models can make your bathroom infinitely more usable - not to mention the aesthetic boost it will get from the sleek glass-and-aluminum design.
