Presidents Weekend Coconut Grove Style Is All About Art It's that wonderful time of year again--President's Day weekend, (not really) which signals us Grovites that it's time to settle in (especially if you live in or around the center of Coconut Grove) for our big 'bumper & shuffle' weekend.

Pilates in the Grove – Tone Your Core, Relax Your Mind November 15th, 2012
'Pilates in the Grove' Offers More Than Core Exercise While enjoying Pilates as a terrific source of exercise both for my body and mind for several years now, I can attest to its wonderful benefits such as developing good body tone, having better balance and increased flexibility.

Shopping at Miami’s Farmers Markets: featuring Zak the Baker November 13th, 2012
The temperature is finally dropping (to a staggering low of 68 degrees tonight!), and while sweaters are still optional, spending my weekends outdoors is not. I’ll take any excuse to be outside these days, and what better excuse than checking a weekly task off the list? At the local farmer’s markets, stocking up on groceries doesn’t feel like a chore—in fact, it’s a great opportunity to support local businesses. The Coconut Grove Organic Farmer’s Market, located on 3300 Grand Avenue, is...
Halloween Tradition Casts its Spell on Spirited Neighborly Fun! October 24th, 2012
This One Scary Night Will Have You Howling at the Moon in Pinecrest, Coral Gables or Coconut Grove . . . Holidays tend to bring out the community spirit in all of us. And while it’s not quite time to give official thanks yet, I’ll start a bit early and say that I’m always thankful for our neighborhoods—Pinecrest, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove—when Halloween comes around.

Having Trouble Getting De-Cluttered & Need Help? Who Ya Gonna Call? September 21st, 2012
If your home resembles this . . . you're just not ready to list! As we have all heard plenty of times, first impressions are everything! This is especially true when showing your home to potential buyers, renters and their accompanying Realtors. As this article points out, it is crucial that your home look open and airy, and that the abundant storage space take center stage, not your cramped closet or overflowing bookshelves. Although decluttering may seem like an overwhelming task to...
Cloisters Dream Home with Championship Vibe! September 11th, 2012
As a current Cloisters on the Bay resident, I can only say that, although we are sad our NBA neighbor James Posey will be leaving our beautiful neighborhood, I am excited that a new person or family will get to share the grogeous views and Coconut Grove-vibe I am lucky enough to enjoy every day. The Grove is, in my opinion, one of the best parts of Miami to live in - just take a look at what Mr. Posey himself had...

As Tropical Storm Isaac (hopefully never-to-be-called Hurricane Isaac) prepares to make his way through the Caribbean and onwards towards South Florida, now is the time to make sure you are ready for all the what-if scenarios that come with storms of this nature. NBC provides us with a great Hurricane Preparedness List that can be found by clicking here. It's never too late to get stocked up, and it's definitely better to be safe rather than sorry.

Back to School Means Back to Real Estate August 20th, 2012
For many of you, today was officially the end of summer as you got back into your routine of morning drop-offs, carpools and after-school activities. In the real estate world this means our "slow" months are also winding down, as people are turning their attention away from vacation plans and back to finding their next home or deciding whether or not now is the right time to sell their current one.
