I just wanted to publicly congratulate the Boise State Broncos for their invitation to the Fiesta Bowl.  They will be playing TCU on January 4, 2010 in a  battle of unbeaten college football teams. Just like we did the last time Boise State beat Oklahoma, we are booking an airplane to head down t...

I can't believe that there are some people who lump REO/Bank-owned/Foreclosure homes in with short sales as being difficult to work with.  REO (real estate owned), bank-owned, and foreclosures are the same thing...the bank owns them outright and wants to sell them. Just like in other parts of the...

  I would like to share a quick story that illustrates why Hidden Springs, Idaho is such a fantastic place to live. This happened to a friend of mine and I was totally surprised to hear of something like this still occurring in 2009.  My friend needed a quick treat for her family and so she heade...

I have made a major discovery when it comes to the city of Meridian, Idaho. Settlers Park, located at the corner of Meridian Road and Ustick Road, is quite possibly one of the best, if not THE best, park in the entire Treasure Valley. My children and I happened upon it as we were waiting for some...

One of the hidden treasures of the wonderful community of Eagle Idaho is their public library. It is truly a gem worth beholding. Not only are the facilities and staff top rate but the children’s programs are incredible. This last session my daughters (ages 4 and 2) and I took part in Toddler Tal...
