Moms and Halloween!
It's creepy and it's kooky -- and it's Mom's favorite low-stress holiday! According to mom after mom, those infamous "big name" holidays—you know which ones we mean—are sometimes more of a headache than highlight. The pressure! The presents! The out-of-town guests or out-of-town travel, the cooking and cleaning, the expenses! But Halloween—that's a different story. More than two-thirds of Mom’s are involved in celebrating with their families.
What I love best about Halloween is all the little things that I see families doing every year, stuff that's unique to their family, not part of some big commercial idea about what the holiday should be like. Whether it’s just the basics—costume, trick-or-treating, candy eating or now we've even got a whole series of activities and special events that many kids totally look forward to—from roasting pumpkin seeds to making a scary straw man for the front porch. Things don’t have to be fancy, elaborate, or expensive, but it's all uniquely about family traditions and memories that kids will treasure their entire lives. Go on, string fake webs all over your porch, hang ghosts from the trees, cut out scary silhouettes and tape them in the windows, or create a cemetery in your front yard! Halloween's one time you can really go over the top with your kids. Halloween is a time even the most health-conscious moms can give in to their sweet fangs without any guilt at all.
Each month I do my best to remind you that YOUR referrals help the kids…
We are on a mission to raise funds for Sick Kids and Choices Youth Shelter. Sick kids work in helping kids fight thru and survive nasty debilitating diseases like cancer, lymphoma, leukemia as well as their work in early diagnosis of autism and spinal cord injuries is second to none! And as the leading children’s hospital in our area, you probably know they need sponsorships and donations to continue their leading-edge care and help supporting the kids and families who need their services. Choices Youth Shelter provides housing and support to our homeless youth. We are committed to donating a portion of our income from home sales to these very worthy causes. So, YOUR REFERRALS really do HELP THE KIDS…
Who do you know considering buying or selling a home, or investing in real estate you could refer to my team? Not only will they benefit from our award-winning service, but the kids at the Sick Kids and Choices Youth Shelter will benefit as well.
Just give me a call or pass my number on to anyone you know considering buying or selling. My number is 905-965-5902.
You and your referrals mean more than ever to my team and I. As we move forward in this hot season, please know we are extremely thankful for you and you being a special part of our business.
