TIPS FOR PROTECTING YOUR HOME OVER THE HOLIDAYS While the holidays in December make it the most wonderful time of the year, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to keep your home and family safe. Here are 5 home safety tips! 1. Keep Any Travel Plans Private - do not post where you are going, when you are leaving, or when you will be back on social media. 2. Ask Your Neighbours for Help - Ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your house, pick up your mail, and watch for suspicious activity. 3. Hide Your Gifts - Wrapped gifts under your tree can be a visual invitation for a burglar. Position your tree away from windows or other highly visible areas in your home. 4. Invest in Home Security - With new advances in technology today, home security doesn’t have to have an extravagant cost. 5. Make It Look Like You Are Home Install motion activated lights.
YOUR HOME IS SAFE WITH US! We take home security seriously. That’s why we have screening procedures in place to keep our clients and their homes safe when they are for sale. We also remind our buyers to change the locks before they move into their new homes and provide referrals to locksmiths and home security companies that can help. To learn more about our procedures and how you can stay safe during the buying and selling process, contact us to schedule a free consultation!

TIPS FOR A LESS CLUTTERED CHRISTMAS The holidays can feel very overwhelming. It doesn’t have to feel that way though! Here are a few tips to help your holidays feel less cluttered. 1. Choose the events that are most important to you and say no to others. You can’t fully enjoy any activities if you’re exhausted from doing too many. 2. Examine the traditions you have during the holiday season and determine if they all add value to your life now. 3. Declutter or put away some general decor items so your home doesn’t feel as cluttered when all your holiday decorations are out. 4. Go through your pantry, fridge, and freezer and toss any expired foods and donate any items you know you won’t use to a food bank. 5. Spend some time before the holidays decluttering things like clothing, books, and toys to make room for the new gifts you’ll be receiving. It makes it much easier to put things away after the holidays!
If you need help implementing any of these tips, please contact me. I can also help in the new year as you take back your home! I hope these tips help you have a wonderful, relaxing, joy-filled holiday season!

STEPPING STONE COACHING AND CONSULTING ANN DELUCA thensheawoke@gmail.com 647 269 7824 DESCRIPTION: Stepping Stone Coaching is my business - coaching clients to show up as their best in situations that really count. "ThenSheAwoke" became a side project to express my creative side. Little did I know that I had not one, but two books in me (so far)!
www.steppingstonecoaching.ca
"The Wisdom of the Sticky Note", blossomed out of the common elements (Fear, Mindset, and lack of Selftrust) - that I noticed seemed to be keeping my clients from taking a step towards what they really yearned for. "You're Stuck...Now What?", "Happened" during the pandemic. Feeling overwhelmed and unclear at times myself, I would write a note and reflect on it. With 20/20 hindsight, I realized that every time I wrote a note and reflected on it, it gave me a little boost of energy. Just enough to keep me moving forward. I thought, if this was useful for me, maybe it would be useful for others too. Both books are written to be consumed in "bite-sized" pieces. They provide thought provoking quotes and reflections meant to challenge your thinking. Whether it's Fear, your Mindset, or lack of Self-trust; or you're feeling stuck and need a nudge - there's something for everyone!
