We can’t believe it’s already been a WEEK since we hit the streets for the Shorewood Crossroads Fest Parade!

And we’re still smiling about it… WE WON MOST CREATIVE FLOAT!

We had so much fun putting our float together, waving to the crowd, and celebrating alongside the Shorewood community. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out, waved, cheered, grabbed a goodie bag, or simply supported us along the parade route.

We’re so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community and loved seeing so many familiar faces!

Until next time, Shorewood!

Core Community Spotlight

One of the best ways to experience summer in our area? Get out on the water!

Did you know Channahon is known as the "Meeting of the Waters," where the DuPage, Des Plaines, and Kankakee Rivers come together to form the Illinois River? It's the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful day of kayaking or canoeing while taking in the beautiful scenery and local wildlife.

Whether you're an experienced paddler or trying it for the first time, there are several nearby launch sites and outfitters to help you enjoy a relaxing day on the water. Pack a picnic, bring your camera, and discover why this is one of our favorite ways to spend a summer weekend!

Have you paddled any of our local rivers? We'd love to hear your favorite route or launch spot!

Ready to create a beautiful gallery wall without turning your walls into Swiss cheese?

Before you start hammering nails, try these simple tips:

- Lay your frames out on the floor first to find a layout you love.

- Leave about 2–3 inches of space between frames for a balanced look.

- Trace your frames onto kraft paper or newspaper and tape the templates to the wall to preview the arrangement.

- Use removable picture hanging strips for lightweight frames to avoid unnecessary nail holes.

- Hang your gallery at eye level—about 57–60 inches from the floor to the center of your display.

- Step back and take a photo before hanging anything. It's amazing what you'll notice from a distance!

The best part of a new home is making it feel like your home. Whether you're displaying family photos, travel memories, or your favorite artwork, a gallery wall is a great way to add personality to your space.

Tell us—what would be on your gallery wall? Family photos, vacation memories, artwork, or a little bit of everything?

If your dream home had a name, what would it be? 🏡✨

Would it be The Gathering Place because everyone ends up at your house? Sunset Retreat because you love relaxing on the patio? Something a little more realistic, like The Chaos Castle, because life with kids (or pets) is never a dull moment? Or maybe else something completely unique!

Drop your creative name in the comments—we can't wait to see what you come up with!

One of the easiest ways to stay organized as a homeowner? Create a Home Information Binder! 🏡

Having all of your important home documents in one place can save you time when you need them most.

🎨 Paint colors and finishes
🪵 Flooring information
🔧 Warranty documents
🛠️ Contractor or service provider contacts
💡 Utility information
📅 Maintenance records
🏠 HOA documents (if applicable)
📄 Receipts for home improvements

If you build with Core Homes, you're already off to a great start! Every homeowner receives a binder with important warranty information and helpful resources. We encourage our homeowners to keep adding to it over the years, making it a one-stop reference for everything related to their home.

Whether you've built with us or have owned your home for years, a well-organized home binder is a simple way to make homeownership a little easier.
