Family Friendly Outdoor Activities During This Pandemic

There’s no question that Covid19 has put a huge damper on the family outings and activities.  Here are some fun ways to get outdoors with the family and still practice safe social distancing.

Walking or biking while social distancing.  Even babies and toddlers love getting outdoors and the fresh air is not only good for adults, but kids as well.   Utilize a child bicycle trailer or stroller for the little family members that can’t ride bikes or walk.  While walking or riding, talk about nature with your children.  It’s a great opportunity to educate them and for you to get some exercise.

 Organize a nature scavenger hunt.  Hunt for plants, trees, rocks, acorns, leaves.  You can even cut the kids lose with cell phones to collect pictures of different types of animals and birds.  The kids can check off the list you’ve created of the items they’ve found or the pictures they’ve taken  Make it fun for the entire family!

Grab some books, a shady spot and read to your kids outdoors.  Bring a couple of games.  It’s the ideal way to bond with your family.

Let creativity run free by having the family create their own nature sculptures made out of rocks, leaves, twigs and flowers. Use clay or play doe as a base for the sculpture.

Fishing is an awesome way to get outdoors and engage the family in fun!  There are plenty of recreational areas to enjoy while maintaining social distancing.

Have an international picnic in your own backyard.  Imagine the whole family in the kitchen cooking some fun international dishes that can be packed up in containers and taken outside.  Throw a blanket down and put a few decorations down for each country represented in your international picnic.  While you eat, engage the kids in conversation about the culture and location of each country’s dish.

Clearly this year has given us a curve ball, but with a little creativity, you can use not only nature, but even your own home to create fun and unique ways to bring the family together and keep them safe.

The Advantages of Buying a New Home vs. a Resale

Minimal Repairs and Updates

When you purchase a new home, everything is brand new.  Of course your home will require regular maintenance, as all homes do, but you won’t be spending your time after you move in updating your home or making repairs as you would with a resale home.  If you build a new home from the ground up, you have the advantage to select the floor plan, select your home site and choose design features that represent your personality giving you spare time instead of remodeling once you move in.

Technology Smart Homes

With today’s ever changing technology, new homes are often wired to handle the latest updates and trends such as state-of-the-art Wi-Fi, sound systems and smart home products. If buying a resale home, you often need to make the necessary changes to bring the home up to date to accommodate these technology features.

Modern Design

The floor plan you choose reflects your desire of how you want to live and entertain.  New homes offer the latest concepts and designs that include open spaces, well appointed and spacious kitchens and an abundance of closet space.

Newest Building Processes and Materials

With each year, new materials are introduced into new home construction and are more advance and energy efficient compared to those materials used for older homes.  New appliances are more energy efficient and beautifully designed an newly built homes also offer the latest safety features.

Cotton States Properties Craftsmanship

With every home we build, we think of you.  How YOU want to live, what you as the homeowner will desire.  Cotton States Properties is committed to making sure each home we build is quality crafted, well designed and a place you’ll want to call home for decades.

Get your home ready for winter!

With our unseasonably warm fall days, it’s hard to imagine that winter will soon be upon us. It’s time to prepare now. Cotton States and State Farm wants you to be ready this season with few helpful tips on preparing your house and BEING prepared for the upcoming winter months.
The comforts of a cozy, warm home in winter can help you forget about the short days and the multiple layers of clothing. Following a maintenance schedule throughout the year will certainly benefit you in the winter, but it’s important to be aware of the hazards the cold conditions can bring to your home. These guidelines can help you weather the winter season with a well-maintained home.
Be energy efficient

Since your heating system will probably be running constantly throughout the winter, remember to change out your HVAC filters every month. Inspect the insulation in your attic and crawlspace. Warm air rises and leaves the house through the roof, so you should focus on insulation in your ceilings. Seal areas around recessed lights, the attic hatch, and plumbing vents that may be allowing warm air from the living space below to enter the attic. Proper attic ventilation, adequate attic insulation, and a tight air barrier between the attic and the interior of the house will work together to prevent ice dams.
If you don’t have double-paned windows, remove the screens and install storm windows to ensure that the heat stays in and the cold stays out. If you’re on a tight budget, pick up an inexpensive plastic-film sheet kit from your local hardware store. These will only last one season, but they do help with energy efficiency and are able to halt the cold flow of winter drafts. If you have a fireplace, burning firewood is another way to save energy costs. When you use the fireplace, reduce heat loss by opening dampers in the bottom of the firebox (if provided) or open the nearest window slightly — about an inch — and close doors leading into the room. That will prevent the fire from drawing warm air out of the rest of the house and replacing it with cold air.
And remember to store your firewood in a dry place at least 30 feet from your home to avoid a fire hazard.
Protect your pipes

Pipes located in attics, crawl spaces, basements, and near outer walls can be susceptible to freezing in extreme temperatures. When the forecast calls for unusually cold temperatures, let water drip from hot and cold faucets overnight. Also try keeping cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate in places like below sinks. If you open the cabinet doors, be sure to remove anything inside the cabinets that may pose a safety to hazard to children, such as household cleaners. For exposed pipes in your attic, basement, or crawlspaces, add extra insulation around them. View the tips to avoid frozen pipes for more information.
Be ready for an emergency

Blackouts and snow-ins can occur during winter months, so take a moment to prepare yourself and your family for such emergencies. Having the following items ready will help you make it through safely.
Flashlights
Bottled water
Nonperishable food items
Blankets
Phone numbers for your utility companies
Battery backup to protect your computer and other important electronic equipment
First-aid kit
If you have an emergency generator, make sure you have gasoline stored and available to fuel it.
Decorate safely

‘Tis the season to be festive, but remember to stay safe with your holiday decorations. Inspect the wires of your light display before switching them on—they may be frayed and present an electrical fire hazard. Same goes for the Christmas tree inside – always check the light strands for any sign of wear and tear from being in storage. If you have a real Christmas tree, keep it watered, since dry trees catch fire easier. Check with your local municipality for instructions on how to dispose of the tree once the new year arrives.
Don’t forget yard care

Even with the cold weather conditions, your yard still needs to be maintained. Make sure tree and shrub branches are well away from the house and windows. Icy conditions can cause branches to break and damage your home. Walk around your home and survey the roof to see if any ice dams have formed; call a contractor if you suspect this is the case. As you walk around your house, check the foundation for small cracks or openings where mice or other pests can tunnel in. Winter is when they seek the warmth of your house, so seal up any possible entrances. While you’re outside, clear snow off gas meters and away from basement windows and your dryer exhaust vent.

Create your own disaster preparedness kit

The Management and Staff of Cotton States Properties is sending thoughts and prayers to all those millions of people who were adversely affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. Although these storms are now over, we are still in hurricane season and winter will be on our door step.  Below you will find 10 steps written by Sandra Pawula on how to prepare for a natural disaster.  We hope these tips will help you and your family prepare for what might come your way. 

So how do you prepare for a disaster?  This is what I’ve learned from my recent research.

Disaster preparedness is actual complex if you start thinking about actions like bolting down your gas water heater and bracing overhead light fixtures.  All these types of actions are important to consider, but the first step is to create a disaster preparedness kit.

The following tips cover only the essential items you need to help you cope in response to a disaster.  There’s more to consider, but these steps will give you a good start.  Remember, the bottom line is water, food, and shelter.  In Japan, more than 2 million people are without water.  Another 500,000 are homeless.  These are real possibilities.  So focus on the priorities first.  Then, add the other items to your kit.

Keep your supplies in an easy to carry kit.  There’s actually quite a lot on this list so use your imagination when it comes to an appropriate container.  Store your kit in an accessible place, one that will be within reach once a disaster strikes.  It’s also wise to have a set of basic emergency supplies in your car and at work.

These are the most essential items:

1. Water

1-2 gallons of water per person, per day.  A 3-day supply for evacuation, a two-week supply at home.

2. Food

Easy to prepare, non perishable items and a mechanical can opener.  Canned soup, meat, vegetables, and fruit.  A 3-day supply for evacuation, a two-week supply at home.  For food preparation, have on hand a simple barbeque, charcoal and starter fuel or 1 propane unit with 2 canisters of propane and some basic cooking utensils.  Don’t forget waterproof matches or lighters.

3. Shelter

An emergency blanket, sleeping bag or regular blankets, and tent.

4. Medical

First aid kit, a supply of essential medicines for at least a week, other crucial medical supplies like an inhaler.

5. Light

Flashlights, extra batteries, and extra bulbs.  Candles.  Waterproof matches or lighter.

6. Radio

A battery-powered AM/FM radio.

7. Cash

Cash machines won’t work without electricity.  Have a minimum of $50 on hand in small bills plus phone change.

8. Cell Phone and Charger

Although a cell phone may not work in a disaster, it might also be your line to life-saving support.

9. Sanitation and Personal Hygiene Items

Toilet paper, toothbrush, soap and other essential supplies.

10. Personal Documents

Driver’s license, birth certificate, passports, insurance policies, proof of address or lease, medication list and medical information, copies of credit cards, checks.

Everyone’s situation will vary so you need to adapt the list to your own circumstances and the types of disasters that might occur in your region.  If you are able to drive, there’s no guarantee you will be able to obtain gas since fuel pumps depend upon electricity.

In addition to creating a disaster preparedness kit with the items like the ones listed above, the Red Cross also recommends taking time to:

• create an emergency plan with your family;
• educate yourself and your family about the type of disasters that might occur in your community;
• have one household member trained in first aid and CPR/AED.

Overwhelmed, hesitant, or indifferent? Some of us find it challenging to prepare for a disaster.  What holds us back?  The Vizier explored this question in his excellent article 5 Factors that Hinder Preparations.  You might want to start there if you find the thought of disaster preparation difficult to embrace.

Keeping It Simple

I suggest tying to prepare in a simple but complete way.  Do only the necessary without going overboard. Given the fragility of the environment, it’s not useful to over-buy unnecessary, ecologically unsound items.

Not all the supplies above will necessarily make the grade from a green living perspective.  I would love to hear your suggestions for a greener approach to disaster preparedness.

There’s more to disaster preparation that this basic list, but I hope this list will inspire you to begin or fine tune your preparations further.

Life is precious.  Preparation saves lives.  It’s that simple.

Resource: The Red Cross offers a full range of Emergency-Specific Preparedness Information.  Whether you need to prepare for a tsunami, earthquake, winter storms, oil spill, or another threat, you will find the comprehensive information you need at the Red Cross.
