Stella & Grace Goods
Beyond Bins: A New Approach to Organizing Your Home and Your Life “The truth is, making decisions about stuff is rarely just about the stuff.”
A
••• ccording to Bernadette Glumac, co-owner of Stella And Grace Goods, this is one of the guiding principles for her new Scotts Valley-based business. “Our belongings represent memories, family connections, and often our sense of identity. You don’t just chuck all that out the door because you want your home to be tidier.”

The other half of Stella And Grace’s clutter-busting duo, Nancy Jacobs, agrees. “Your home really is your castle,” she says, “but most of us don’t feel as if we’re living like royals. Maybe you’re still looking at unpacked boxes from your last move. Maybe your toddler’s bajillion toy parts, artworks, and tiny adorable socks have settled like a fine layer of dust over every surface of your home. Maybe your mom refuses to part with even one of her 37 wooden spoons. Whatever your challenge, we can help.” Glumac hastens to add, “And chocolate is almost always part of the solution.” The two women bring a wide variety of experience to the task. Glumac has a Master’s degree in Education at Stanford, while Jacobs majored in Theatre Arts at Mount Holyoke College. “Form AND function are really our mantra,” explains Jacobs. “Plus, we try to have a good time,” adds Glumac. “We focus on making the whole process enjoyable, because at the end of the day, your home needs to suit your particular needs, and the system has to be something that the entire family buys into and can maintain.” Glumac has had two decades of professional success that saw her teaching high schoolers, sitting on NASA committees overseeing animal welfare and research, and spearheading benchmark-setting programs in humane education and early-childhood literacy. Further proving her abilities to manage space and time, she raised her 20-year-old daughter while running a home-based pet care business. Jacobs spent over 20 years managing corporate communication projects, specializing in new product launches, sales training, and strategic planning. Most recently she also ran her own pet care business. “One of our niches as home organizers is definitely anything to do with pets,” she laughs. “We all know the expression about herding cats. Well, we’ve done it. And trust us, this is a surprisingly useful skill to have if you want to downsize, de-clutter, or de-stress.”
“Another thing we do is help our clients to showcase their collections. We ALL have collections!” adds Glumac. “Combining beloved books and assorted figurines means both passions are enjoyed every day.” This is why Stella and Grace Goods offer what Glumac and Jacobs call home revitalizing services. “Whether you want to tackle a single room or your entire home, we help you identify what you want, figure out what’s standing in your way, and then work with what you have to create a new normal that’s happy and functional,” says Glumac. ••• For more information, check out www.StellaAndGraceGoods.com, or call 831-438-4786 to set up a complimentary initial consultation and estimate. Be sure to mention what kind of chocolate you prefer.

Skypark Bocce Courts Celebrate 10-Year Anniversary
J
uly 2017 is the ten-year anniversary of the Scotts Valley Bocce Ball Courts. The courts were the brainchild of Steven Horlock, a longtime resident of Scotts Valley. The courts were created when Steven was losing his personal court and he thought it would be nice to have some courts he could play on in the park. He had a drawing made of two courts and presented it to Parks and Recreation. Parks and Recreation thought it was a good idea so it went to the Planning Commission and City Council for approval. The next piece
was to get the funding, so Steven went out and raised $25,000. With the help of the community and a lot of donated labor, the courts became a reality in the summer of 2007. Classes were soon offered through Parks and Recreation and today the courts are used regularly with seniors playing five days a week and league play four nights a week. The public can get balls to play with during the week from the Parks and Recreation department. Thank you to all those who have made Bocce a success in our wonderful community!
