Most people know about Scotch whiskey and haggis. But did you know that eggnog originated from the Scottish Auld Man's Milk? And butterscotch candy made its way to our shores courtesy of Scottish immigrants. Even Southern Fried Chicken owes its beginnings to both the Scots and West African people settling in the south. In Scotland, one way to celebrate the culture is through sport. Stateside, we celebrate with them through the Seaside Highland Games & Scottish Festival 2023 right here in Ventura.What: Seaside Highland Games & Scottish Festival 2023Where: Ventura County Fairgrounds (10 W Harbor Blvd)When: 9 am to 5 pm on October 14th & 15thAdmission: $5 to $40Seaside Highland Games & Scottish Festival 2023The festivities begin at 9 am on Saturday, October 14th, with a grand parade at hig...

Assessing the value of a property is a multifaceted process that considers various factors and requires a combination of data analysis and market knowledge. Here's a breakdown of the steps I use: Gathering Property Data: This involves collecting information about the property's attributes, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lot size, and any unique features or upgrades that may affect its value. Comparables (Comps) Analysis: Finding recently sold properties in the same or similar neighborhoods that have similar features is crucial. These comparables provide a baseline for assessing the property's value. Adjustments are made to account for differences between the subject property and the comparables. Active and Pending Listings: Reviewing active listings (properti...

Here are the top five ways to save money while moving: Plan Ahead: Planning is key to saving money during a move. Start early and create a detailed moving budget that outlines all potential expenses, from packing materials to transportation and utilities setup. Research moving companies and options well in advance to secure the best deals and availability. Declutter: Before packing, go through your belongings and declutter.

Preparing to sell a home can indeed be a challenging process, but having an organized kitchen can make a significant impact on potential buyers. Even if you're not selling your home, having a well-organized kitchen can enhance your cooking experience and make daily tasks more enjoyable. Here are some ideas to give you some guidance: Declutter: Start by going through all your kitchen items and decluttering. Get rid of items you no longer use or need, expired food, and anything broken or damaged. Categorize: Group similar items together to create categories. Common categories include cookware, bakeware, utensils, small appliances, spices, canned goods, dry goods, etc. Arrange by Frequency of Use: Store items you use frequently within easy reach.

Preparing your home for sale requires decluttering and organizing to make it more appealing to potential buyers. Here are ten decluttering tips to get your home ready for sale: Start Early: Begin the decluttering process well in advance of listing your home for sale. This will give you ample time to sort through your belongings without feeling rushed. Create a Plan: Develop a room-by-room decluttering plan to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Focus on one area at a time to maintain your motivation throughout the process. Declutter Gradually: Tackle small decluttering tasks each day to avoid burnout. Dedicate a few minutes daily to organizing a drawer, cabinet, or closet. Sort Belongings: Categorize your belongings into three main groups: keep, donate/sell, and discard. Be ruthless in your deci...
