Now that the kids are heading back to school, it's a great time to reset your home for the busy months ahead. A few simple changes can help make mornings smoother, afternoons more organized, and evenings a little less hectic.

Here are a few ideas to get your home ready for the new routine:

- Create a dedicated homework space with good lighting and minimal distractions.

- Set up a drop zone near the door for backpacks, shoes, lunchboxes, and jackets.

- Organize closets and donate clothes your kids have outgrown before the seasons change.

- Create a family command center with a calendar, school schedules, and important reminders.

- Stock a grab-and-go snack station to make after-school afternoons easy and stress-free.

Your home is the backdrop for so many of life's milestones, from the first day of kindergarten to the first day of college. Taking a little time to refresh your spaces now can help your family settle into a successful school year.

What is one thing you do every year to get your home ready for back-to-school season? We'd love to hear your favorite tips!

Today begonia, a new family-owned restaurant, opens in the former Kettle Black Kitchen space at 1835 Monroe Street.

Kettle Black Kitchen owners Chef Christopher Lund and Sara Anderson have revamped the restaurant with a new name and cuisine. Begonia offers modern Latin cuisine, scratch-made dishes, creative cocktails, and a space designed for lingering over a great meal.

We love seeing new local businesses add even more energy and character to Monroe Street. Welcome to the neighborhood, begonia!

WE'RE BACK. 🥂

The devastating tornado that recently touched down in the Menasha and Appleton area is a sobering reminder of how quickly severe weather can impact our communities.

While we can't prevent strong thunderstorms, hail, or tornadoes, taking a few simple steps now can help protect your home and your family when severe weather strikes. Here are a few simple ways to get your home storm ready:

• Trim dead or damaged tree branches.
• Secure outdoor furniture and décor.
• Clean gutters so heavy rain can drain properly.
• Check your roof for loose or damaged shingles.
• Test your sump pump and gather emergency supplies.

If you need assistance with any of the items listed above, please don't hesitate to contact one of our recommended local professionals. The Alvarado Group is always here to help.
