Hi there –

Warmer weather, blooms and buds galore, spring break, and possibilities are in the air! Spring is here, and with it, more opportunities to get outside, plant a garden, entertain, and so much more. I’m definitely not a lover of winter, so spring is really a time when I start to feel alive again. Whether you’re like me and can’t wait to get out and do more fun stuff, or you just want to tackle some more outdoorsy home projects, we’ve got you covered here. If you want a sweet treat for Easter that’s festive, delicious (and basically, a vegetable!) I’ve got you covered there too!

Today we’re talking about:

✔️🛠️ April Home Maintenance

✔️ 🌸 RVA Spring Markets, Festivals, and More!

✔️ 🥕🍰 Gourmet Delights Carrot Cake

🛠️ April Home Maintenance

As we head into spring, there are lots of things to do to prep for warmer weather at your home, but one of my favorites is definitely getting the outside space ready for use and entertaining. Powerwash that patio or deck, give it a fresh coat of sealer or stain, pick up those stray leaves leftover from fall, and get ready for springtime sunsets and summer cookouts!

🗓️ What’s Happening Around RVA This Month?

When I work with clients relocating to the Richmond area, one of the things I always mention is that we love a festival. I mean LOVE. March seems to kick of the festival season with both Shamrock the Block and the Irish Festival. For fun, food, music, and of course, beer- these are two that can’t be beat, but there are plenty of other options for getting out this month- no luck needed!

🥕🍰 Gourmet Delights Carrot Cake

This is without a doubt one of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had, if I do say so myself. When I had Gourmet Delights, and my food rep came in one day with a delicious, but criminally expensive, carrot cake, I had to come up with something that was close so I didn’t have to sell it for $5 per slice. (Hilarious that that in the ‘90’s that seemed outrageous.) This is what I came up with. Click HERE for the recipe.

Do you have home questions, need contractor referrals, or are you (or someone you know) thinking of buying or selling a home in the Richmond area?
