I’m enjoying the quiet while I wait for Johnny to get home…watching a couple of tiny visitors stop by for supper. Keeping it lighthearted today! Sometimes that’s all the words you can say. 🤍 A chickadee came dressed in black,With snowy cheeks so bright…He grabbed a seed and looked at me,Then hurried out of sight.…

My mom recently told me I should write about my apron. I loved that she saw something in it worth putting into words. After my sweet friend Mary Bernthal passed away, my mom took some of Mary’s beautiful scarves and transformed them into the sweetest, lightweight aprons. She made three. One for herself.One for me.And…

I spent most of my adult life being needed. Four kids. A marriage. A salon. Clients. Homes. Real estate. Projects. Celebrations. And all the everyday things that keep a busy family moving. I became very good at showing up—and I’m proud of the life we created along the way. Now our kids are grown and…

There’s just something special about an A-frame. The soaring rooflines, vaulted spaces and unmistakable architecture give these homes a character and warmth you simply don’t find everywhere — and this Brookville property takes it to another level with three beautiful high peaks! Located on the outskirts of the quiet community of Brookville, Kansas, you can…

There is a quiet, reflective place I keep finding my way back to—somewhere between the noise and the stillness, the giving and the receiving, the becoming and the unbecoming—where I pause just long enough to realize that life rarely lives in extremes, but instead unfolds in the soft, steady in-between. I know I’m an ambivert—someone…

Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me just how many different hats I wear… and how much can happen in ONE day. 🤪 I started the morning meeting our photographer back at a listing that went LIVE today for a few more photo with a wider lens. Afterward, she and I did something…

Life has a funny way of convincing us that everything has to fit neatly into one category or another—right or wrong, success or failure, win or lose. Black or white. But the older I get, the more I realize that some of life’s most meaningful moments happen in the gray areas. Relationships aren’t perfect. Business…

If you know me, you know I’m a little “bragalicious.” 😄 I love sharing our family, our clients, and the work we get to do—not just to celebrate the big wins, but to hold onto the beautiful everyday moments and stay closely connected with the people we serve at The Klassen Group. While Johnny and…

One of my favorite parts of every Wednesday is when Suru’s Garden delivers fresh flowers to Thiessen-Elise Salon. I always tell her she’s a daymaker because she truly is. This morning, the rain is coming down, and I can’t help but smile thinking about all the flowers, gardens, trees, and fields getting a much-needed drink.…

Some days in real estate remind me that this business is about so much more than houses. 🤍 This morning, The Klassen Group had the privilege of spending a few hours with the sweetest couple who drove over an hour to tour homes here in Salina. We unlocked doors, explored possibilities, shared stories, laughed, grabbed…
