Virtual learning is an adjustment for everyone involved – parents, children, and teachers – but the right space can help your children stay engaged and energized. Here are a few ways you can make a functional space that fosters creativity and learning right in your own home.
- Designate a space: Your child’s learning space could be a corner in a room, a home office, the kitchen table, or even a specific lap desk used each day.
- Declutter and organize: Declutter the area by removing extra toys, books, and miscellaneous items.
- Make it functional, but don’t forget comfort: The idea is to make the space inviting and comfortable enough that your child will want to spend time there.
- Foster creativity and inspiration: Think about what excites or motivates your child and incorporate it into the space.
If your current living situation just isn’t cutting it anymore with the new demands of at-home learning or working, give us a call to talk about how we can help you get into a new home that meets your family’s needs.

I am beyond excited to announce that Jackie Lalonde has joined us in opening a branch for Cherry Creek Mortgage just outside of Minneapolis. I have had the opportunity for knowing her for months.
She's an amazing person. A strong woman. A caring heart. Passionate about her team and her people. I'm beyond blessed to have her join Cherry Creek.
Welcome to the team Jackie and I'm thrilled for all the time that we've spent with each other over the past few months!
Cherry Creek is looking for an experienced loan processor. Over 20 years in the Fox Valley and growing fast. If you even know of someone who is awesome and who wants to belong to a family, let us know.
Experience is a MUST, along with professional and kind. As we go into the next 20 years having the best is important.

Why People Are Moving This Season:
1. Working from home: If you’ve tried to convert your guest room or your dining room into a home office with minimal success, it may be time to find a larger home. The reality is, your current house may not be optimally designated for this kind of space, making remote work and continued productivity very challenging.
2. Virtual and hybrid schooling: If you have school-aged children, they may have a need for a dedicated learning space. If so, it might be time to find a larger home to provide your children with a quiet room to focus on their schoolwork.
3. A home gym: Having room to maintain a healthy lifestyle at home - mentally and physically - may prompt you to consider a new place to live that includes space for at-home workouts.
4. Outdoor space: Especially for those living in an apartment or a small townhouse, outdoor space is a new priority for many.
If you’ve been trying to decide if now is the time to buy a new home, let’s connect to discuss your options!
