Kittens in Need!

by Jennifer | Wednesday, 20 January, 2010

OK, well, they’re not all kittens and if you’re not into the smooshed face cat thing, these are not the felines for you. But if you are . . .read on!  Client In The Know Amber Lowi recently brought to my attention an organization called “Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue.” This organization recently rescued nearly 100 cats from a breeder in Antioch who are now in need of homes.  If you think you can provide one or are willing to make a donation to support their work, please check out their website!

Home of the Week: When It's Time For a Tent

by Jennifer | Thursday, 22 October, 2009

As you might have noticed, due to the fanfare around The Big Rumble, last Saturday was the 20th Anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Not to get to preachy about the whole thing, but are you prepared?

If anyone reading this does not know how to shut off their gas, please let me know and I will come show you or at least explain it on the phone.  But in addition to that, you might want to think about getting an earthquake preparedness kit together.  These can be assembled or purchased.  Here’s a great source for one stop shopping:  Disaster Survival Solutions.  They make a kit in a weather proof box you can keep outside your home (which is really important if your house falls down…).  If you want to assemble your own, just take a look at what’s in the kit do it yourself.

After you have your tent, sleeping bags and 3,600 calorie food bars, and WATER, you might want to consider making sure you know what to do and how to best help if the big one hits.  The San Francisco fire department offers fantastic free Neighborhood Earthquake Readiness Traning or “NERT.”  Elvis wants me to take the traning to get the free hard hat.  But fashion options aside, it’s probably a good idea, which I hope you will consider.  To find out more click here.

Who You Gonna Call?

by Jennifer | Thursday, 20 November, 2008
As the mom of a seven year old, I may have seen Ghostbusters more recently than some of you, but the theme song raises a good question.  To keep you “in the know,” I thought would share with you some great links for local information that I use myself all the time.  And remember, anytime you need a home-repair related referral, please give me a call for my latest recommendations.
