Notes from the Editor As I am writing this I am thinking about warm weather and how it will be here before we know. Of course it isn’t here yet so I am left to think about it. I am also thinking about how some of our readers will be starting to look at repair and maintenance, as I am doing, and how our network has folks who can help you out with that. They are the ‘go-to’ folks with the knowledge and ability to do it correctly. And how could I forget about those of you who will be buying a house in the coming months? You guys and gals are just waking up from a long winter’s nap and starting to look around Montgomery County for where you’d like to have and enjoy a home before we get into next year’s cold cycle. Our current agents have places in and around Audubon, Berwyn, Broomall, Al Fox , RMC Clifton Heights, Collegeville, Conshohocken, Douglasville, Downingtown, Real Estate Marketing Consultant Eagleville, Gulph Mills, Havertown, King Of Prussia, Malvern, Newtown 610-337-3260 • alfox@lifeandhomes.com Square, Norristown, Paoli, Penn Valley, Philadelphia, Pottstown, Phoenixville, Royersford, Upper Darby, Villanova, Wallingford, and Wayne. Whew! Not only that but we also have homes from the Wildwoods of New Jersey (North Wildwood, West Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest) for those possibly looking for a vacation spot! And our participants even have more than what is listed with us! If you are in the market then you would be doing yourself a favor by checking in with any of our advertising agents. They are experts in their field and they truly enjoy finding you what you’re looking for. And while you’re driving around MontCo if you find yourself a bit hungry stop at one of the advertised restaurants in LifeandHomes™. They are fine establishments with relaxed atmospheres that will serve some of the best food in the area. Make sure you tell them you read about them in our magazine! Another item you may find in our magazine and on the web are the Attorneys who advertise with us. They can help protect you in times of question and advise you from a legal standpoint. They can tell you what risks are involved in your situation and how to mitigate those risks.

Tips On Making A Do-It-Yourself Move
For a growing number of families, relocating has become a “moving experience.” That’s because whether they’re going across town or across the country, they’re choosing to move themselves. For some, it’s a way to have more control over the process. For others, it can add up to significant savings. To help you take part in this trend, here are some tips from the professionals at an industryleading company—Penske. • Rent from experts. Renting trucks from knowledgeable professionals can help ensure that your move is smooth and easy. “Moving is one of life’s most stressful moments,” said Don Mikes, vice president of truck rental for Penske. “Our goal is to help guide people through their journey.” • Select smart. A 12- or 16-foot truck can be a very versatile size—excellent for moving everything from a few large items or the contents of a small condo or apartment. • Reserve early. Book your rental truck at least two weeks in advance. • Pack wisely. Load your heaviest items first. Avoid injury by always bending your knees and lifting with your legs.
• Drive green. Use a truck rental company affiliated with EPA’s SmartWay program. A little preparation goes a long way to ensure an easier— and safe—move. More free moving tips are available at www.PenskeTruckRental.com. (NAPSI)
Make Your Lawn
Something to Share
A lawn is an extension of our living space, a place we can enjoy outdoor activities with family and friends. When pests invade our yards and threaten our comfort and safety, it's important to take action to control insects and weeds by choosing and using lawn and garden products carefully. Follow these simple instructions for a PEST (plan, execute, stay aware and treat products with care) plan of action for caring for your lawn: Plan - Before taking action on any lawn care project, research potential problems carefully. Execute - Once a plan is in place, proper action can be taken. Remember, however, that lawn care products are not effective unless they are used properly. Stay aware - After the application of pesticides and other pest-management tools, keep track of lawn conditions. Lawns require care beyond the use of pesticides, so it remains important that grass is kept trimmed and watered. Treat products with care - Store all pesticides
Spring’s arrival might mean cleaning out the basement, attic, and garage. But while you’re making a clean sweep, you might also want to consider other areas of your life that could use tidying up. National credit bureau TransUnion recommends using the spring cleaning impulse to see what areas of your finances you can clean up and provides the following tips: • Clean out, throw out: Take time to go through expenses that aren’t really necessary or useful anymore. Consider cutting them and saving that money or applying it toward paying down another debt. • Get organized: Explore how you can simplify your finances by making savings and payments automatic, switching to online statements, and consolidating accounts if appropriate. • Check your credit health: Consumers should check their credit once every three months. If you haven't checked your credit report and score lately, obtain yours today at TransUnion.com. • Plan today for tomorrow: Make sure to save for the unexpected and future goals. Also, if there is a large purchase on the horizon, save now and pay more upfront later - helping you avoid charging the purchase to a credit card and accruing more interest. (ARA) HomeAway®, Inc. reports that 8 of 10 vacation rental owners anticipate their rental business this year will be stronger or about the same as it was in 2010. www.Life and Homes .com

L i f e and H o m e s
• Think safety first. Rental trucks are taller, wider, heavier and require more stopping distance than cars. Pick up your truck early. Practice driving.
• Get oriented. Ask the truck rental associate to walk you through the vehicle’s features. It should be a clean and well-maintained vehicle.
Spring Clean Your Finances
■
• Mark it up. Label as you pack. It makes it easier to put the boxes in the right room when unloading.
Take precautions when the truck is loaded. Beware of low-hanging branches and overhangs when cornering. Park in well-lit areas-and padlock the rear door. Penske Truck Rental has 24/7 emergency roadside assistance and optional protection plans.
according to label directions, away from children and pets. Handling pesticide products responsibly protects both lawn and homeowner. For more information on properly choosing and using pesticides and fertilizers, visit debugthemyths.com or www.pestfacts.org. (ARA)

• The right accessories can make a difference. Boxes, bubble wrap, moving blankets and hand trucks are essential to protect your items and make your move more enjoyable.

Avoid Foreclosure
Rescue Scams
6. “Your lender never had the legal authority to make a loan.” Don’t listen to anyone who claims “secret laws” can erase your debt.
Following a few suggestions can help save many homeowners struggling with mortgages and other debt from seeing things go from bad to worse.
7. “Just sign this now; we’ll fill in the blanks later.” Read and understand everything you sign. Never let anyone else fill out paperwork for you. Don’t let anyone pressure you into signing anything.
You can get free assistance from a housing counselor approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at (888) 9954673 and makinghomeaffordable.gov.
8. “Call (800) Fed-Loan.” Beware of companies that imitate official federal programs. Providers must tell you they are affiliated with the government.
As for people or companies offering mortgage modification assistance or foreclosure relief, Federal Trade Commission rules ban advance fees, require clear disclosures and prohibit false or misleading claims. Experts at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency suggest you beware of these 10 lines: 1. “Pay us $1,000 and we’ll save your home.” Companies cannot collect fees until you have a written, acceptable offer from your lender and a written description of the key changes to your mortgage. 2. “I guarantee I will save your home—trust me.” Beware of guarantees like this one. Providers must give you realistic evidence for any claim they make. Montgomery County, PA
3. “Sign over your home and we’ll let you stay in it.” Signing over the deed gives the recipient the power to evict you, raise your rent or sell your house—and you’ll still have to pay the mortgage.
L i f e and H o m e s

4. “Stop paying your mortgage.” Don’t trust anyone who tells you to stop making mortgage payments to your lender or servicer, even if that person promises to do it for you. You could lose your home and hurt your credit rating. 5. “If your lender calls, don’t talk to them.” Providers cannot tell you to stop communicating with your lender or servicer. 4

9. “File for bankruptcy and keep your home.” Filing for bankruptcy stops foreclosure only temporarily. If you don’t make your mortgage payments, the bankruptcy court will eventually let the lender foreclose. Some scam artists may file bankruptcy in your name, without your knowledge, to temporarily stop foreclosure and give you the impression that he or she has negotiated a new agreement on your behalf. 10. “Why haven’t you replied to our offer? Do you want to live on the streets?” High-pressure tactics signal trouble.
aren’t in the kitchen where a lot of household recyclables are generated from; they’re in the bathroom or other side of the house, and it creates a little bit of a disconnect.” To help bridge that disconnect, many steel aerosol cans now have a “please recycle when empty” logo. In addition, many recycling programs, looking to maximize the diversion of recyclables from landfills, are informing consumers that steel aerosol containers are easily recyclable once empty through normal use.

Aerosol cans take up landfill space while the valuable steel they’re made from is not being recycled and reused. Steel aerosol containers are every bit as recyclable as other steel cans. According to Greg Crawford, executive director of the Steel Recycling Institute, one reason for the disparity may be that “many aerosol products

Getting Organized Can
Save You Money Is your life so disorganized that it’s costing you money?
If you’re like all too many Americans, you’re spending so much time rummaging around for lost or misplaced items-wasting a combined 9 million hours a day—that you’re probably too frazzled to even contemplate that question. That’s a real shame. Because it turns out it’s not just stuff like car keys and medicine we’re mislaying. According to Harris Interactive, 23 percent of adults admit to paying their bills late because they’ve lost them in what we’ll call The Great Abyss.
• Baskets are your new best friend. Everyone in your house should have his or her own decorative one to hold loose items. “It’s an instant declutterer,” says Pollack.
And you know what happens when you don’t pay your bills on time, right? You incur late fees— and, in the case of bank credit cards, for example, also open yourself to sky-high annual interest rates.
• No one should be without a “home management” binder. Well, okay, you can probably do without it if you’re paying someone $100,000 a year just to keep track of your family’s schedule, emergency contact numbers and all the rest of life’s minutiae that contribute to high stress levels. But for the rest of us, Pollack advises separating each section with Avery NoteTabs (www.avery.com) that have the advantage of being writable, highlightable, stickable and removable.
“People have to realize that being disorganized has real-life consequences,” says organizational expert Jill Pollack, who’s been featured everywhere from WE’s “Bridezillas” to FoxNews.com. Time you organized your life? Read on for some expert tips:
• Your second-best friend is your coding system. Alphabetizing your files—yes, you’ll need files— is apparently so yesterday. The “more intuitive” way to go? Colors. You know, green for financial documents, red for health matters, and so on.
• Stay on top of your bills. Not only do current bills rate a file folder all their own—color code it neon green, if you like—but you need to make a habit of going through it once or twice a week to remit payment. • Clear your desk. If your home’s cluttered, odds are so is your office. Make a point to clear it before you leave at night so you can start fresh in the morning. Pollack has three final words of advice for pack rats who insist on keeping every last tax return (seven years normally suffices), every last paycheck (toss once you’ve gotten your W-2 form) and every last credit card statement (shred immediately, after checking for accuracy, since they’re a prime source of identity theft). Those words? “Purge, purge, purge.” (NAPSI)
