West Suburban Community Pantry

June 18th. Order your tickets and set the date in your calendar! Get outside and go golfing to help the West Suburban Community Pantry. The event is the big fundraiser of the year for programs aimed at supporting community members with food insecurity. The day is fun in the sun for a good cause. Lisa Spaeth and her team are hard at work with getting the word out to the community about their annual fundraiser coming up this month!

Home on the Range

Kitchens are the ‘heart’ of the home. And, a quality range provides literal warmth to this heart, and as such, it is often the appliance piece people are most willing to invest in. Naturally, kitchen range needs vary per household.

Ideas Worth Sharing

Renowned for his ability to coax out interesting stories, Arthur Zards, the mind behind TEDx Naperville, is a TED talk personified! (TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design.) He is quirky, immensely curious, and speaks quickly. He is a master cultivator of unique experiences, and his mind sparks with new ideas continuously. Arthur’s life has been driven by an openness to new directions and topics.

Home Organization: Declutter Life

In fact, three of the best-rated home makeover shows on TV are “Get Organized with the Home Edit” and “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo” on Netflix and “Hot Mess House” on HGTV. From racks to store sporting equipment and yard equipment in the garage (baseball bats, hockey sticks, rakes, shovels, etc.) to shelves and bins to compartmentalize the pantry (soup cans, spices, extra paper towels, etc.), the opportunities in home organization seem limited only by the imagination. Studies show it’s good for your brain, stress levels, and productivity. De-cluttering and organizing are hot.

Make it Pink (and Fancy)

Three things I love: pink, the Roaring Twenties, and vacation. Combine these three and you get the Don CeSar, the Boca Raton, the Chesterfield, the Royal Hawaiian, and the Vinoy Renaissance Resort. Although pink palaces of Mediterranean design were extremely fashionable in the 1920s—Chicago even had its own pink hotel (the Edgewater Beach Hotel)—these are no shabby remnants from the past. All of the hotels listed have undergone millions of dollars in restoration; they still retain a Gatsbyesque grandeur, but they are now equipped with modern, world-class amenities.
