Is your home listing ready?
Smart updates for today’s market
If you’re considering a move in the next 3 to 9 months, you might be curious what maintenance and upgrades need to be done to your home to get top offers in this market. Planning now can help you budget and save accordingly! We encourage our clients to focus on these five key areas and view them through a buyer’s eyes:
01: ROOF – If your roof is damaged or at the end of its life, it can definitely be a dealbreaker for buyers, especially those getting financing. A typical roof lasts 25 to 30 years, but may require minor maintenance. A good cleaning, including gutters, goes a long way!
02: CURB APPEAL – Is your landscaping sparse or overgrown? When was the last time your home had a fresh coat of paint? Plan a spring weekend to refresh your landscaping and schedule a free estimate for interior and exterior paint. These are fairly affordable ways to really spruce up your home. Pro tip: Mulch is often your best friend when prepping for photos!
03: SYSTEMS – Have you had your HVAC serviced in the last 6 to 12 months? Is your plumbing functioning properly? Buyers want to feel confident that a home’s essential systems are in good working
order. Unexpected repairs can be a red flag, so taking proactive steps now can prevent surprises during inspection.
04: BRIGHTEN & DECLUTTER – Less is more when it comes to buyers envisioning THEIR life in a home. Take the time to declutter your space and remove any excess furniture or decor. Swap out dark paint for something bright and neutral. Then consider what staging could do to highlight your home’s best features.
05: FIXTURES – While they won’t make or break a sale, having updated fixtures is always a nice touch to add buyer appeal to your home. This includes lights, faucets, cabinet hardware, and door handles.
Making thoughtful improvements to your home can tip the buyer’s perception — helping them view your home as updated and move-in ready versus needing too much work. With more inventory comes more choices for buyers. In this market you want to stand out from your competition.
We would love to come over and do a complimentary pre-listing consult to help you prioritize the task list to get your home market-ready. We can even give you a list of our most-trusted contractors in Central Oregon. We’re here to help!

Straight Talk About Teeth: Some tips and trivia
HOW MANY BABY TEETH ARE THERE…REALLY?
• 20 total: with 10 on the top and 10 on the bottom
• Baby teeth are all usually present by age 2, begin to fall out by age 6 and are completely replaced by age 13… This is an average estimate. Keep in mind, when it comes to teeth, EVERYONE is different.
• Teething schedules vary between individuals and even kids in the same family. If the teeth are delayed significantly in coming in or going out, it is important to check in with a dentist.
HOW MANY ADULT TEETH ARE THERE… REALLY?
• 32 including the wisdom teeth, although the wisdom teeth often don’t appear until age 18.
• The first permanent teeth to replace baby teeth are the two lower front teeth. This usually happens around the age of 6. They often come in on the tongue side of the front teeth and the tongue helps move them forward.
• The second permanent teeth to come in are the first permanent molars or “6-year molars” which generally appear around age 6. They are located in the back of the mouth and do not replace a baby tooth.
CAVITIES ON BABY TEETH… DOES IT MATTER? THEY JUST FALL OUT ANYWAY…
• Answer: Yes, it matters. Baby teeth are important in many ways ranging from speaking, chewing, to growth of the jaw itself.
• Each baby tooth is replaced by a permanent tooth
• When cavities in the baby tooth move into the bone, the infection can damage the tooth below.
• Baby teeth save the space in the mouth for the developing permanent teeth.
• When a baby tooth is lost early, its space is taken over by the teeth beside it. That means that the permanent tooth growing below will be left with little or no space of its own. This creates more crowding with new problems and more expenses.
DO
ALL CAVITIES HAVE TO BE
DRILLED AND FILLED?
• Not always based on multiple considerations such as, and not limited to, the size of the cavity, lifespan of the baby tooth in the mouth, willingness of the patient and family to make prevention adaptations to their diet and brushing.
• With new advances in topical medications such as silver nitrate or silver diamine fluoride, surface cavities can be arrested or stopped without requiring invasive procedures.
• Prevention is always the best start to manage the risks for cavities. Prevention starts with consistent dental exams, and the development of a treatment approach that is customized to the specific needs and capacity of the patient and the family.
SEALANTS: A BUMPER TO BUMPER 100,000 MILE WARRANTY
• The chewing surface of the back teeth looks like the Cascade Mountain Range from above. Meaning, there are many ridges, with deep canyons and valleys on the tooth’s surface.
• Often these canyons or grooves are very deep. Unfortunately, the deeper the grooves and pits, the more difficult it is to keep clean at the very bottom.
• Sealants are a plastic cover that is liquid when it flows into and over the grooves of the back teeth. The sealant hardens and turns a deep groove into a shallow one that a toothbrush can easily keep clean.
THE STRAIGHT LINE ON CROOKED TEETH AND BRACES
• Spacing between the front teeth will often close as the remaining permanent teeth grow into the mouth. Crooked teeth are not the same. When the front teeth are crowded to begin with, it is guaranteed to increase as the rest of the permanent teeth erupt.
• An early visit to the orthodontist, between 6-7 years of age, can identify little problems before they become bigger ones and assess the ultimate spacing needs of a child.
• An early visit doesn’t always mean early braces. An early visit does mean early information, which in terms of prevention, intervention, and planning, can be priceless.
WHEN SPORTS AND TEETH COLLIDE…
• As strong as teeth are, they are rarely a match for a baseball or an elbow. As a result, a tooth can be broken, moved in its place, or knocked out of the mouth completely. Here is a short list in managing a tooth collision.
• Broken teeth: rinse the mouth with cold water to clean the area, put a cold compress on the face and call your dentist. If a jaw injury is suspected, an emergency room visit is warranted.
• Moved teeth: the teeth will hit differently as they have been moved to a new position. Example: the front teeth hit the bottom teeth too early. Call your dentist immediately. Remember, if a jaw injury is suspected, an emergency room visit is warranted.
• Knocked-out teeth: First question: Baby tooth or Permanent tooth?
• Baby Tooth: Knocked out, leave it out. The growing permanent tooth could be injured by pushing the baby tooth back into the socket.
• Permanent Tooth: Time is of the essence. Teeth are alive and can actually be put back in place and will survive if this is done quickly. Hold the tooth by the crown (not root) and rinse with water if it is dirty. DO NOT SCRUB IT. This is important because the live part is on the outside and the inside of the root. Put it back in the socket if possible. If not, put it in a cup of milk and get to the dentist quickly. Finally, if jaw or head injury is suspected, call the dentist, but an emergency room visit is warranted.
• Remember: “Save a tooth, wear a mouth guard”

Expecting Better and Cribsheet by Emily Oster
All families are unique. Tell us about yours. My husband, Jordan, and I are high school sweethearts. While we met at Jesuit High School and grew up in Portland. Early in our adult lives, Bend quickly stole our hearts. We were engaged on Mt. Bachelor and married in the Historic St. Francis Catholic Church, with the reception at the stunning Great Hall in Sunriver. When the job opportunity appeared at Central Oregon Daily, we both agreed Bend would be a beautiful place to start our family. Jordan and I both had Golden Retrievers as kids, and we now own a sassy girl of our own, Oakley. Born in 2020, she’s our “pandemic puppy.” Our son, Grady, came next, entering the world four weeks early. We are forever thankful to the caring NICU team at St. Charles. We can’t wait (but can wait until she’s full term!) for baby sis to join the crew this summer, and we absolutely know we will have our hands FULL with kids 16 months apart. Mamas with two under 2 –help! I am taking all advice on surviving these early days, months and year!
Tell us about one of your proudest mom moments. The unexpected birth of my son sans epidural, no doubt, had me feeling like Superwoman.
When did you know you wanted to be a mom? It’s never even occurred to me to NOT be a mom. I grew up with three siblings and a mom as a best friend. I couldn’t wait for the opportunity to not only become a parent but also give my children siblings. I remember thinking about the “kind of mom I wanted to be” before I even turned ten. I think it’s because I was incredibly lucky to be surrounded by moms who, more often than not, worked full-time while somehow also always managed to be present and engaged with us growing kids. I am truly thankful I was raised by working parents, who never failed to show me hard work pays off and dreams can change.
Tell us about your most recent “Mother of the Year” moment. Does getting pregnant sevenmonths postpartum count?
Now tell us about one of your most humbling mom moments. I often think about those early days. I was so sleep-deprived and stressed about keeping Grady healthy. He struggled to gain weight at the start, and it consumed me. I had a complete breakdown about three months in, the crying on the floor, wailing and angry kind of breakdown. While I was surrounded by people who loved and cared about me in that moment, I realized sometimes, even with all the help and support in the world, it’s just too much. Finding a therapist and eventually an anti-anxiety medication changed my entire world and ability to parent. We’re not meant to do this alone.
What is something you swore you would never do before kids that you now do? I can’t say I swore I would never do it, but walking the dog while pumping was certainly not on my Bingo card.
You know you’re a mom when you hear yourself say... “Is it okay if I shower?” “Did you smell it?”
What are you enjoying the most about parenting right now? Grady is at such a fun age where his personality is starting to emerge and he’s getting more and more mobile. I love when he chases us around the kitchen in his walker and slides his feet on the ground to “brake.” I also love that he loves being outdoors and is still young enough to happily sit in a hiking backpack while we roam around the trails. He doesn’t yet know how to declare any boredom and instead will just doze off and take a little nap. Admittedly, I’m truly enjoying that he sleeps through the night as well.
No one works harder than mom.
Tell us about your work or volunteerism outside of the home. I recently began volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House to help with cleaning, but I am hoping to soon start on
their Hospitality Cart. The cart goes through the NICU with coffee, snacks, toys and hats for the families. Grady’s first hat came from that cart. When you have a NICU baby, you don’t often get the cute pink and blue caps, instead your child likely has a C-PAP hat… which is just used to keep the tubing in place to help them breathe. Let me tell you, getting a “normal” hat is a big milestone that means a lot to parents whose journeys most certainly didn’t start out as expected.
What have you learned professionally that has helped you as a mom? Being a journalist has helped me immensely outside of the office. It has taught me to think critically about all sides of an issue. As a parent, we are faced with many choices in raising our kids. We decide how and where our kids sleep, what to feed them, the kinds of toys they play with, the social interactions they have, etc. I pride myself in taking those same critical thinking skills into my parenting journey. I try to read all sides of an argument and books with differing viewpoints, so I can make the most informed decisions for my children.
Tell us about a recent achievement you’re proud of, or a personal passion or talent. I ran a half marathon 6 months postpartum, and I was proud of that.
Do you have a goal you’d like to accomplish within the next five years? Qualify for and run the Boston Marathon.
If mom’s not happy, nobody’s happy.
Tell us about your upbringing. How did it shape the mother you are today? I grew up the youngest of four kids. Being a part of a large family was an incredible blessing. As the youngest, I’ll admit (and my siblings will tell you!), I did get special attention. My parents provided me with nearly every experience I could ask for, but they never interfered. I was given the opportunity and then the responsibility to do something with that experience. My success was dependent on my effort. It gave me confidence and showed me what I am capable of achieving. Don’t get me wrong, I had (and have) to lean on them for a lot of support along the way, and they were always there with the hug or tough love, but it helped shape how I want to parent. Now, as a mom with my own kid(s), I try to strike a balance between support and space. I want to give my
kids the opportunities I had (and I know I have to work hard for that), so they can build their own confidence.
What do you think is the most important life skill or value your parents taught you? Your potential is limitless, and you’re never tied down, especially when it comes to a career. It’s never too late to try something new. And also commitment… even when it isn’t easy…to your partner, your family, your hobbies, your volunteerism, your job.
When was the last time you did something for the first time? This summer I pumped while anchoring breaking news. I’d certainly never done that before. We were in the middle of covering the Milepost 132 fire burning near Bend when I realized I had forgotten to pump amidst the chaos. Luckily, I was wearing a looser shirt and during a commercial break I ran into our mother’s room, threw on my Elvie and rushed back out to do a live interview with the sheriff’s office.
What is something you will NEVER do again? I said I’d never give birth naturally again…and yet I am already considering it. The mind has a convenient way of making you forget the pain. Which good habit do you wish you started earlier? Putting away laundry right after you take it out of the dryer.
What is the quality you like most about yourself? I am incredibly transparent. I am an open book when it comes to career, mental health, motherhood, finances and beyond. I believe information is incredibly valuable and our experiences matter. We can all learn from each other and our story is important.
What’s your superpower? I truly have no shame. My husband confirmed this the other day. It takes a lot for me to really get embarrassed. What keeps you sane? Socialization. Getting out and being with people fuels me. Plus, I love a good happy hour (when I am not pregnant) or a summer friday night dinner in the backyard with best friends where people leave well after sunset.
What’s your guilty pleasure? Gatorade and Cup [of] Noodles (the microwave kind). Also, Cheez-Its. What is your greatest extravagance?
I love being “extra” when it comes to dinners. I will happily turn any casual dinner into an event. While I will admit I did this more before I became a mom, I do absolutely love to set a

Listen to mom.
Is motherhood what you expected? What surprised you the most? Becoming a mom has truly been my life’s greatest blessing. I never expected it to be easy, but it certainly is hard. However, the “hard” is unique, in that while it may be challenging, it’s also incredibly rewarding. I think what surprised me the most is the truth in the statement “it takes a village.”
Who and what has influenced the mother you are today? Absolutely the mothers around me, including my mom, mother-in-law and sisters.
What’s the best advice you’ve received from another mom? For the moms in the early days, if you’re worried about something, give it three months, it’ll likely resolve. For working moms returning to work: Give yourself as much time as you had on maternity leave to adjust to being back.
What advice would you give your younger mom self? Have confidence in your gut. You’ll be forced to make so many decisions. The world will tell you what they think is best, how you should breastfeed, the gadgets
you should buy and the worries you should have. While much of it is helpful (and well-intended), much is also noise. Trust your mom instinct.
What message would you like to share with other moms? We truly, truly aren’t meant to do this alone. Motherhood can be beautiful chaos. I was incredibly blessed to go through pregnancy and motherhood with several best friends who were pregnant at the same time.
Those group chats pinging at 3 a.m., the voice memos which turned into podcasts, and the essays we’d send pumping each other up were truly essential for my wellbeing. It is a constant reminder to me that motherhood is a sisterhood.
It can feel extremely isolating at times, but never forget you are enduring what others have conquered. Lean on those you love, take new mom friends up on walk dates, be brave enough to send the text admitting you’re in a tough spot. This sisterhood is powerful. We are powerful. You’ve got this, mama.
Thankful for my village.
“Just say yes. Take the help.” So many people will tell you this ahead of time, but it’s hard. I know. It was really challenging for me,
especially since Grady started life in the NICU. Maybe it was the exhaustion, but I finally just started saying yes, and it changed my world.
Lean on those who love you and don’t be afraid to tell them what you need. If vocalizing it is hard, leave a to-do list on your counter. When people come by and ask what you need, you can kindly say, “Anything on that list would be wonderful.”
In this first year as a mom, I am filled with immense gratitude for my village. From my mom and sisters who flew in during the first few weeks of Grady’s life to Jordan’s family who shows up regularly to clean the house and assist during the dinnertime chaos to my mom friends who I can send 10-minute voice memos to at any hour of day and to my husband who not only eagerly shares the role of parenthood but also validates the unique challenges of becoming a mom and always has a smile on his face when he’s with our son. I’ve learned people want to help. Let them. We aren’t meant to do this alone, and if you feel alone, reach out to another mom, even a stranger or an old friend you haven’t spoken to in years. Motherhood is a sisterhood.
Grady’s grandma Linn Beary and Aunt Madison Thomas.

Springtime Recipes
Warming weather and more daylight has us in the mood for light eats.
Fresh spring rolls WITH PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
8 round rice paper wraps
1 large avocado, peeled and sliced thin
2 cups carrots, shredded or julienned
2 cups shredded purple cabbage
2 cups ready-to-eat shrimp, no tails
⅔ cup chopped cilantro
Assemble all ingredients. Note that rice paper needs to be worked with quickly.
Fill a large shallow container with lukewarm water. Working with one rice paper at a time, dip it into the water for about 15 seconds until it softens, then lift and gently shake off excess water.
Lay the rice paper on a smooth, clean surface. In the center, add 1/4 cup each of the avocado, carrots, cabbage and shrimp. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over top.
Roll the rice paper similar to a burrito by folding in the sides then rolling forward. The rice paper is naturally sticky, so you might need to wet your fingertips while folding.
PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
1/2 cup peanut butter, unsweetened
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon grated ginger root
1/2 cup of fresh-squeezed lime juice
3 garlic gloves, pressed
2 – 4 tablespoons warm water
Salt to taste
Whisk together all sauce ingredients except the warm water and salt. Add a tablespoon of the warm water at a time to get it to a consistency of your liking. Add salt to taste. If you want a bit of spice, add a little chili sauce.
Hot cross buns
¾ cup warm water
¼ cup powdered milk.
Substitute 1 cup of regular milk in place of the powdered and warm water.
¼ cup melted butter
⅓ cup honey
1 teaspoon salt
3 and 1/2 cups flour
1 cup raisins or currants (optional)
1/2 teaspoon mace
Substitute nutmeg if needed.
1 beaten egg
1 tablespoon yeast
In a large bowl, combine the water, milk, butter, honey and salt then stir until dissolved. Then mix in one cup of the flour, raisins or currants (if using) and the mace.
Add the beaten egg and yeast, then the additional 2 ½ cups of flour, and mix well.
On a clean surface, knead the dough until it is soft and smooth. Place in a greased bowl and let it rise one-and-half to two hours, until it doubles in size.
Shape into buns and mark each with a deep cross. Place buns on a greased baking sheet and let rise until doubled.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes.
Don’t forget to sing the eponymous song — you know it already from your kid’s recorder practice.
Lovely lemon loaf
¼ cup unsalted melted butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 and 1/2 cups flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest or more to taste
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 – 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Combine melted butter, oil and sugar in a large bowl, then stir in eggs and almond extract.
Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add about half of the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, and alternate with the milk until all are combined (but not overmixed). Add in the lemon zest.
In a greased loaf pan, bake at 325 for about 55 minutes or until a fork comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then release from the pan.
For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until it reaches your desired consistency. When the loaf is completely cool, drizzle the glaze overtop.
