Back to School Safety Tips

August 9, 2022/in Blog, Lifestyle /by Shauna Morris

Going back to school is an exciting time for children! They look forward to seeing their friends and possibly meeting new ones. It can also be a time of unforeseen dangers, however. Here are some essential back-to-school safety tips.

Strangers

Talk to your children about who is authorized to pick them up and never to accept a ride from a stranger (even if the stranger knows their name). Some families have a code word that only they know, and if a stranger doesn’t know the family word, the child knows that person is not allowed to give them a ride. Be sure your child knows your phone number and address by heart and who to call if they cannot get a hold of you. Be sure the school has up-to-date contact information for your household and a list of trusted adults authorized to pick them up from school.

School Bus Safety

Talk to your child about exiting the bus and being on the lookout for passing cars. Most motorists are respectful of a stopped school bus, but there’s always one person not paying attention. Get to know the other parents of children who ride the bus. This will ensure that someone you know is looking out for your child when they get dropped off if you’re not there to pick them up immediately. Getting to know the school bus driver is also a good idea.

Walking Safety

Children should know to walk in a group if possible. This offers safety in two ways: it provides protection from someone who may wish to harm a single student, and a group of students will be more visible to drivers not paying attention. Make sure your child knows traffic rules, how to cross at the crosswalks, and to always walk on the sidewalk or path. If there are no sidewalks, teach your child to walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible so they can be aware of what is coming towards them.

Biking Safety

Before your child starts riding their bike to school, be sure to teach them the rules of the road while riding. Some motorists won’t yield to bicycles, and one slight mishap could be catastrophic. And, of course, helmets are non-negotiable.

While our area is a fantastic place to live with beautiful homes and great schools, the world isn’t as safe as it once was. Children need to know how to be aware of their surroundings and when something is ‘off.’ The more vigilant they are, the better off they will be!

Most Popular Home Design Trends

August 8, 2022/in Blog, Lifestyle /by Shauna Morris

The most popular home design trends help us understand society’s overall mood and provide new ideas on how we want to decorate our own homes. Here are the top trending colors, materials, and styles that homeowners are using.

Color

There is a renewed interest in adding bright and bold colors to interiors, which is definitely a departure from the grey and beige of the past. This is a sign that folks are feeling more adventurous and optimistic. Bold colors and warm natural materials create a more interesting and welcoming space. This trend could be a post-pandemic effect; folks discovered that their space lacked uniqueness and style after being holed up in their homes for almost two years. A renewed interest in authentic decor that is joyful and inviting and reflects their personality has led to a demand for folks to reinvent their interiors.

Wallpaper

Homeowners are ready for a more lively interior. As a result, many interior designers have noticed a renewed interest in bold and unique wallpaper. It adds personality and style to a space that paint cannot accomplish alone.

Warmth

Creating a home that feels like a haven from the stresses of daily life is still very important. Folks want it to be a place to rest, relax and recharge. As a result, homeowners have been moving more toward finishes that add softness, warmth, and texture to their rooms.

Green has been a repeated hue in trend talks over the past couple of years. But lately, designers say there’s an increased interest in sage green, from walls to kitchen cabinets. Soft gray hues and wood-tone decor also bring a warm aesthetic into homes.

Natural Materials

Natural materials rarely go out of style, but they’ve spiked in popularity lately. These materials include the previously mentioned natural wood elements as well as various stone accents. Folks are using materials that feel more established or handmade and more authentic to their space.

Textures

Textural elements create inviting elements in a space. Texture awakens the senses and invites folks to reach out and touch while being at peace and relaxed. Items like wood, rattan, pottery, and metal, mixed with soft or smooth fabrics, create a visual feast for the eyes.

You may already have some of these items in your home that you’ve put away or long forgotten. Perhaps it’s time to join in on some of these most popular home design trends and add some personal pizazz to your space!

Lake Life

July 18, 2022/in Blog, Lifestyle /by Shauna Morris

Our last blog covered ways to Beat the Summer Heat in Reno-Sparks, and we promised Lake Tahoe locations next. Here are some of the best spots to explore and enjoy that Lake Life!

Beaches

Whether you’re looking to swim or relax in the Sierra Sun, North Lake Tahoe beaches have something for everyone!

Kings Beach is one of the best beaches on the North Shore. It offers pristine, smooth sand and a family-friendly recreational area. The water is shallow enough for kids to enjoy. This site is also great for kayak, paddleboard, or jet skiing. There are restaurants, shops, and places to rent gear surrounding the area. It’s a one-stop shop for all-day fun.

Sand Harbor State Park is a popular spot along the east shore. The shoreline is a bit rugged, but it’s still one of the best beaches in North Lake Tahoe. Sand Harbor has picnic tables and a boat launch. There are kayak and paddleboard rentals. You’ll want to get to this beach early…the parking lot fills up fast!

Hidden Beach is located just south of Incline Village near Tunnel Creek Road. This beach is an excellent spot for avoiding crowds. There is also limited parking here, but it’s a hidden gem for those who arrive early and make the trek in. All along the eastern shore, remote spots are lined with Tahoe’s iconic granite boulders and only accessible by way of a short hike.

Chimney Beach is located about a mile from Highway 28 and is extremely popular during summer. Chimney Beach is dog-friendly and lined with rocks and deep water.

Zephyr Cove is one of the larger beaches at Lake Tahoe. Because of its size, this beach is an excellent spot for families, there’s usually no problem finding a place on the beach, but parking can fill up early. Amenities at Zephyr Cove include a small bar and grill with restrooms and water equipment rentals.

Nevada Beach is further south and close to the Nevada/California border. Amenities include a day-use pavilion with a BBQ station, restrooms, kayak rentals, and food concession. This beach is one of the few beach campgrounds on the lake, and it allows pets on a leash in the campground.

Pope Beach is located on the South shore and is worth noting. It’s lined by pine trees and great for swimming.

Lester Beach is located on the western shores of Lake Tahoe, also known as “Bliss Beach.” This beautiful beach is situated in D. L. Bliss State Park and the northern portion of one of the deepest portions of Lake Tahoe, known as the Rubicon Wall. While there is no designated swim area for beachgoers, and boat traffic is typical, some shallow spots are gentle enough for kids to splash around. There is limited parking, so visitors are advised to arrive early.

Kayaking

There are twenty public launch sites along Lake Tahoe’s shoreline. Sand Harbor at Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park, Zephyr Cove, Kings Beach, and D.L Bliss State Park are the best places for launch. It is imperative to ensure that your kayak is free of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) before launching into the Lake. There are four Tahoe Boat Inspection Stations in Alpine Meadows, Meyers, Spooner Summit, and Truckee that will decontaminate your kayak for free. You can rent a kayak at Tahoe Paddle & Oar, Adrift Tahoe, Tahoe Paddle Sports, or Wild Society to ensure you use a contaminant-free kayak.

The North Shore offers various launch areas. Kings Beach and Incline Village are more leisurely trips for beginners. And Sand Harbor and Zephyr Cove provide a nice route with plenty of locations to stop and rest.

Intermediate paddlers can enjoy launching around D.L. Bliss State Park and Rubicon Point. These inlets provide gorgeous beaches and calm water. The southern route towards Emerald Bay is for more experienced kayakers; this route has an undeveloped shoreline, and the water may get choppy.

More advanced kayakers can experience the Lake Tahoe Water Trail. This trail goes around the entire 72-mile-plus expanse of Lake Tahoe and is broken down into seven segments.

SUP Spots

North Lake Tahoe has some of the best paddle boarding spots that offer stretches of shoreline only accessible from the water. Kings Beach and Sand Harbor are ideal spots. These areas provide coves cradled by rock formations, and the water is typically glassy and calm. Other places to paddle on the Lake include Fannette Island off Emerald Bay, D.L. Bliss State Park, Kiva Beach, Lester Beach, and Zephyr Cove. Adventure seekers can rent paddle boards at the same shops that offer kayak rentals.

Lake Tahoe offers miles of pristine coastline with many activities to enjoy. Check the Lake Tahoe marine forecast before heading out for a fun day on the water, as conditions can change in the blink of an eye.

The Murals of Reno

May 14, 2022/in Lifestyle /by Shauna Morris

Reno’s Downtown and Midtown Districts are home to more than 100 larger-than-life murals painted by local, national, and international artists. These murals add color and vibrance to Reno’s urban landscapes as they tell their stories. The art ranges from topics as serious as racism or as whimsical as flowers, either commissioned by a local business or simply the product of an artist’s inspiration. Some portray historical figures, old friends, departed companions, legends, or lost loves. New designs appear on brick, plaster, wood, and concrete surfaces, and sometimes murals that once were visible get surrounded by new buildings or become hidden. The transient nature of these murals matches that of Midtown, as it is always fluid and changing.

Just south of downtown Reno, the Midtown District is a less than five square-mile section of town that has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. Rather than demolishing the old brick buildings and forgetting about this unused section in the city, an ambitious collection of artists and small business owners took over and created a neighborhood with an artisan approach. They turned the district into a unique cultural experience with top-tier shopping, dining, and a vibrant array of spectacular murals that other metro areas simply don’t have.

It wasn’t until Geralda Miller and Eric Brooks that the Midtown murals became so well known. According to Eric, the murals of Midtown are considered to be the most extensive collection of public art per capita in the entire country. As Miller explains it, “Murals are a way for every man to see art. It’s that grassroots arts movement for those who may not want to go to a museum or an art gallery.”

Geralda and Eric founded Art Spot Reno to develop a way to showcase the city’s murals, and Eric began giving mural tours to friends for fun. Soon, folks started coming in from all directions to catch a glimpse of the art, so Geralda and Eric created the Midtown Mural Tour. The tour is now offered twice a month, and Eric continues to proudly guide visits through Midtown with his encyclopedic knowledge of the works and the artists. The mural tours have been organized into two distinct paths – the Midtown Mural Tour and the Downtown Reno Mural and Public Art Tour.

Midtown Murals

While many of Midtown’s murals are visible from main streets, several are tucked in alleyways and hidden in unlikely spots. Tours are taken at a leisurely pace over roughly two hours, and knowledgeable guides provide stories and insight that make the art even more enjoyable. Every month, the Midtown Mural Tour alternates between a north route and a south route, as there are too many pieces in just this neighborhood to be seen in a single afternoon.

Downtown Reno Mural and Public Art Tour

Like Midtown, the city center contains many murals from highly respected local, national and international artists. The murals are also done in various styles, including graffiti lettering, illustration, landscapes, and realism portraits. During Artown, an annual arts-themed festival, Circus Circus Reno holds a Mural Marathon Competition where qualifying artists paint an original 14-foot-high by 20-foot-wide mural on the side of the Hotel & Casino in just 24 hours.

The murals throughout Reno truly celebrate creativity, and they evoke emotions within every person who views them. This open-air art is a visual language of the city, and to catch a glimpse of it – all you have to do is take a walk!

Why Does A Bunny Have Eggs?

April 4, 2022/in Lifestyle /by Shauna Morris

Have you ever wondered how eggs became part of our Easter tradition? Not only that but why the heck does a magic bunny hide those eggs?? What came first, the bunny or the egg?

The Bunny

The exact origins of the mythical hare are unclear. A straightforward explanation could be that rabbits, known to be prolific procreators, are an ancient symbol of fertility and new life. New life is strongly associated with Christianity and Easter, as is new life associated with spring. Therefore a bunny makes symbolic sense. But when did the magic one hop into the picture? And why does it hide eggs?

Some say the root of the egg-laying cottontail came from German origin and was introduced to American folklore by German settlers in the 1700s. The tale of an egg-laying rabbit called “Osterhase” (Ostern-Easter Hase-Hare). German legend has it that an impoverished mother didn’t have the means to buy her children a hearty meal to mark the end of Lent. Instead, she decorated eggs for her children on Easter morning and hid them in the garden for them to find. As the children collected the hidden eggs, they saw a giant rabbit hopping away. The children thought the hare had left the eggs. Hence, Osterhase! As the legend became more well-known, German children began making nests for Osterhase. They would put carrots in the nest in exchange for colorful eggs. The story and custom spread across the U.S. over time, and the nests eventually became decorated baskets. Chocolates and gifts in baskets are American traditions that have turned Easter into the 3rd highest retail spending holiday behind Christmas and Mother’s Day.

The Eggs

Eggs have long been associated with Easter as a symbol of fertility, new life, and rebirth, much like the rabbit. One could see how Christianity would associate eggs with Easter, a holiday that celebrates the resurrection. Ancient Greeks and Egyptians also connected eggs with fertility and power. Some early civilizations gifted eggs to the dead as a symbol of revitalization and protection from evil. And some even say Easter eggs are linked to pagan traditions celebrating spring.

Eggs were prohibited in medieval Catholicism during the religious Lenten fast, along with other foods. So while no one could eat eggs during Lent, no one told the chickens, and they continued to lay them. Folks would hard-boil their chicken eggs and store them to eat later. Because Lent ends in the lead-up to Easter, folks would decorate and paint their hard-boiled eggs to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting. This theory connects with the story of the mother in Germany, a predominantly Catholic country at the time, and it explains why she had beautiful eggs to hide in her garden!

Whatever your traditions may be, and whichever theory hops out at you the most, we can all agree that Easter and spring are a time of renewal, new life, and rebirth. We hope you have a wonderful Easter with family and friends! If you have questions about the Reno real estate market, we are happy to help!

2022 Home Design Trends

January 24, 2022/in Lifestyle /by Shauna Morris

Just as fashion trends change and old styles become fresh and relevant, home trends do the same thing. From paint colors you can expect to see everywhere, plays on different textures, and popular uses for spaces in your home, let’s take a look at 2022 home design trends. You never know if one of these trends could spark some inspiration!

Color Collaborations

The two-tone color combinations you’ve seen gain popularity in kitchen renovations on HGTV are likely to stick around. Use the color wheel to find two colors that are either complementary or provide a nice contrast to allow each color to pop. It’s recommended that the darker color sits below eye level and the lighter color sits higher to create more visual interest without shrinking the feel of a space.

Outdoors Inside

With the increased time spent at home, many are finding ways to bring the outdoor elements inside with wallpapers, bedding, art, and accessories that remind them of plants, flowers, and exotic travel destinations. Colors found in nature are also being used a lot more in home designs. Earthy palettes will continue to be a prominent theme in 2022.

Upcycling Old Pieces

Some designs and furniture bring intense comfort and familiarity, but they don’t always fit a home’s style or needs. Recently, there has been a big push to reuse items in new ways. Marrying the modern with the traditional can come in several forms, like giving old pieces a new coat of paint or stain, reupholstering fabric, and even finding new uses for decor.

Abstract and Artsy

Abstract art and styles are becoming more popular and bringing comfort to a wider audience. As the world becomes filled with more information and individuals face more pressure or uncertainty, abstract pieces allow individuals to focus on how something makes them feel, connect with it in a new way, and escape the influx of words and noise happening inside their heads at any given time.

Sustainable

Eco-friendly materials are becoming increasingly important in homes. A wave of more sustainable textiles is being added to home design trends. Getting rid of some of the more harmful materials, like foam, which is being replaced by things like coconut hair, wool, and feathers, is a priority for designers, creators, and consumers.

2022 will bring some exciting home design trends and insights into the real estate market.

Gen Z Drawn to Reno

January 3, 2022/in Lifestyle, Reno-Sparks Real Estate /by Shauna Morris

In a recent Gen Z City Index, Reno ranked 6th for the best places for Generation Z or “zoomers” to live. Gen Z covers individuals born between 1997 and 2012. The post-millennial generation is getting ready to head out into the world to make big life decisions. As they enter into adulthood, Reno is becoming a place where the zoomers are setting their sights to carve out their own path.

Gen Z City Index ranked several cities on various factors, including the availability of employment, the median home price, affordability of the area, gender pay gap, diversity, resident resources, and more. The list includes 30 cities, and six California cities cracked the top 10. Reno was able to snag the sixth spot in part due to its perfect score in equality. The study looked at the 2020 Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index to weigh how cities handle nondiscrimination laws and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.

Reno also scored well in gender pay equity. The U.S. Census Bureau found that Reno has a wage gap of 6.88% between men and women, with only three other cities having a smaller pay gap. Reno saw the fifth-highest number of job opportunities, solidifying the city’s ranking as a great place for zoomers to live.

The 2020s will be a time for zoomers to age into adulthood and make their own way. As a college town that scored well in a variety of categories that are increasingly important to Gen Zers as they get older, Reno is likely going to continue to draw in the young adult demographics. With expanding technology and manufacturing job opportunities in Northern Nevada, booming economic activity, and the high quality of life offered to Reno residents, a young, talented, and driven workforce is sure to follow.

We’re excited to see what Generation Z will contribute to the evolving Reno area and how the University of Nevada, Reno will grow to fit the needs of the incoming students. Reno has always been accepting of new generations, new people, and new ideas, so we’re happy to see that Gen Z is so accepting of Reno.

Winter Tree Care Tips

December 17, 2021/in Lifestyle, Reno-Sparks Businesses, Reno-Sparks Real Estate /by Shauna Morris

Winter is often a season that has everyone neglecting their yards and their trees, but there are actually some things you should be doing to keep the outside landscaping looking beautiful and get ready for a stunning spring. Check out the winter tree care tips we’ve learned from our friends at Noah’s Park Tree Care!

The Benefits of Winter

Winter is actually a great time to spend some time taking care of your trees as it brings advantages like increased structural visibility, decreased stresses, decreased chances for pest infestation, and increased fruit production. With the shedding of a tree’s leaves, it’s much easier to look at the structure of the tree and gives you some insight into the health and the needs of the tree. Pruning is also much easier to take care of in the winter as trees are dormant and less likely to take on any stresses from the foliage loss.

Identifying a Dead Tree vs. a Dormant Tree

Are you wondering if you have a dead tree or a dormant tree on your hands? There are some things you can do to check!

Do you see any signs of budding? – A dormant tree will still have signs of small leaf buds in the dead of winter. They’re just waiting for spring to bloom. You’ll want to check each branch as branches with no buds or buds that are dry and shriveled could be signs of a dead branch and a tree in trouble.
Is your tree shedding its old bark and getting a new skin? – Just as leaves fall off and will grow back, tree bark does the same thing. Dormant trees will show signs of new bark, while a tree that is in trouble will show signs of shedding a layer but not replacing it. Be sure to also check for cracks in the trunk.
What’s under your tree’s twigs? – Grab a knife and scratch off a spot on a twig on your tree. In a dormant tree, the twig should be moist and bright green, while a tree in trouble will show a brittle, brown layer. Try this on a few twigs around the tree to get a complete view of your tree’s overall health. Another test you can perform is to bend a few twigs. If they break and are crunchy, they’re dead branches.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and great team to care for your trees, contact Noah’s Park Tree Care at (775) 376-0917. They offer winter inspections to help you identify if your trees are healthy and how to ensure they grow strong come the spring!
