July 4th Fun | What Is That Smell In Your Kitchen? | Drought Conditions and Water Bills

To all the fathers and father figures, Happy Father's Day!

There are lots of reasons to celebrate right now: schools are letting out for the summer, vacations are starting up, there's an outdoor gathering almost every weekend, and Independence Day is around the corner! Are you going to a parade, picnic, or fireworks display? As you plan for the nation's "birthday," here are some places you can enjoy the festivities (and not all of the events are on July 4th).

Baltimore City
Baltimore County
Howard County
Harford County

Now that we are heading into the laidback days of summer, you may want to address some of those issues you've been putting on the back burner. If you're struggling with clutter, have you tried talking to yourself? Are you still trying to figure out where that smell in your kitchen is coming from? Have you reached your limit with your dishwasher not doing its job? Are you debating starting a garden but want to get a better idea of the state's drought level? Click on the articles below to find information and tips from professionals.

Addressing small issues like these can also help when you decide it's time to sell your home. While touring homes with buyers, I've been in a house or two that did not smell pleasant and thus did not end up on the shortlist. If you've been to a house showing with me, you know I have a sensitive nose and can help you avoid a smelly dwelling.

Have a wonderful summer and Happy 4th of July!
