Home Staging
Last week I blogged about the importance of cleanliness after I had been in one too many downright dirty homes for sale. This week I will talk about the broader topic of home staging. In some parts of the country, like Los Angeles, home buyers often won’t even consider purchasing a home unless it’s been [...]
Start Your Engines
If you are in town this weekend, head over to Schenley Park for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. I’m not just recommending this event because my father races in it (good luck Alan!), it is a truly great family activity. First of all, admission is free which is always a plus. But more importantly, this [...]
Bye George!
What should you do this weekend with the kids? Visit the Heinz History Center in the Strip. Why? Well, if you’re like many Pittsburghers, you haven’t yet visited one of our most family friendly museums. My kids love playing on the full size trolley, sliding down the twisty slide, exploring the sports museum with its [...]

And a good father – a father who gives advice, but always listens; a father who plays ball, but also plays Barbies; [...]
A Day in the Park
If you’ve already checked out the Three Rivers Arts Festival and are looking for something fun to do this weekend with the kiddos, how about heading to Observatory Hill’s Riverview Park? You can spend a full day and evening there this Saturday. And I mean full. Beginning at 11:30, Heritage Day kicks off with a [...]
Welcome Summer
Okay, I know that it’s not officially summer yet, but with the heat wave we’ve been experiencing and Memorial Day behind us, it sure does feel that way. Did any of you take my advice for Memorial Day weekend plans? If you did, please let me know what you thought. If you found something else [...]
Memorial Day Family Outing
For those of you headed out of town this weekend to celebrate the holiday, enjoy! Here are a few ideas for those families choosing to spend their time in the ‘Burgh. My first suggestion is to take the family on a river boat cruise on the Gateway Clipper. Kids sail for only $1 if you [...]
