Update: LA FITNESS coming to Sanders/Willow

Update:  Today is the last day of Phase 1. At 2100 Willow Rd (by Target) they are offering pre-sale incentives. New club will be the largest in the country at 41,000sf to compete with Lifetime Fitness in Vernon Hills. Scheduled to open in September! I'm a new member-my weight training goals will need to wait until fall. It will be a beautiful facility, excited for a local club! Who's with me?

It's official the sign is up. LA FITNESS is coming to Sanders/Willow. It's a Glenview address but I recall reading somewhere that both Northbrook and Glenview are sharing in tax revenue at that corner site of mixed use development. Can anyone weigh in on this? haha get it? Not sure if my husband would say that's punny or not.

Wonderful Handyman Found!

Hello homeowners! As we head into fall you may have found some projects on your to-do list that didn't get done over the summer. I heard today about this excellent company Restoration General Contractors They charged my friends $55/hour plus materials for handyman services. The work was done efficiently and professionally. It's a restoration company so you might not think about this kind of service.  When the need arises to complete your nagging repairs, check them out!

If you run across a great company or provider, please contact me. I like to share referrals to small businesses who provide the same level of service I strive for in my business. Have a nice weekend! Caroline

OMG! Wives can you relate to this?

I had to laugh when I read this in the local paper just now. This was totally me on Sunday when my Packers fan hubby had to first watch Bears, then the Pack for 6 hours. I'm thinking when do I ever get to sit on the sofa for that amount of time? Must be nice... Ellen Baer this is for you.

If you missed it, we are definitely making it an annual event! We will see you at another client party in the near future. Coming soon-The Hobbit Movie party!Tell your friends.
