realnavigatenorth We know how hard it can be to come up with the perfect gift to show how much you appreciate the mothers in your life. They do the hardest job on the planet and deserve the world, so here are five local gift ideas to make her day extra special in the Brainerd Lakes Area! 1. Indulge in Luxury with a Spa Gift at The Fine Line Hair Design Salon & Spa: Treat Mom to some blissful pampering with a spa facial gift. These ladies know what they’re doing when it comes to relaxation and I think we can all agree mom deserves a break! 2. Sweeten Her Day with Decadent Chocolates from Fancy Pants Chocolates These Chocolates are hand made by the owner herself and the best we’ve ever tasted. From rich truffles to creamy caramels, every bite will be a sweet reminder of your love and appreciation. 3. Unleash Her Inner Artist with a Painting Event at Kicks – The Art Place Reconnect with your partner in crime and sign up for one of the “Paint your spouse” night events coming up this month! This hilarious trend will be a fun and meaningful way to spend time showing her how much you appreciate all she does for you and your family while connecting over conversation and laughs. 4. Celebrate Mom with a delicious charcuterie board, I recommend MN Traders Co. Who deserves to wind down more than the busy moms in our life? MN Traders Co. allows you to preorder charcuterie boards for small and large groups to enjoy. Take the hassle out of having to host and enjoy some seriously good meats, cheeses and fruits. 5. Elevate Her Style with Boutique Clothing at Dock Panther The moms in our lives put their children’s needs first. While Dock Panther has some great options for kids you can also get beautiful women’s clothing and accessories that are unique and specific to her style at this cute local boutique. Show her how much you pay attention and care by picking her up a new outfit and taking her out on the town!

realnavigatenorth Becoming a first-time homebuyer can be a significant milestone in your life, and there are several reasons why it may be a smart decision for you! Give us a call if these reasons resonate with you and we’d be honored to make 2024 the year you buy your first home! 218-839-7568 1. Stability and Security: Owning a home offers stability and security for you and your family. You have control over your living space, and you're not subject to the whims of landlords or rent increases. This stability can provide peace of mind, especially if you plan to settle down in a particular area. 2. Equity & Investments: With each mortgage payment you make, you're building equity in your home. As you pay down your mortgage, your equity grows, providing you with a valuable asset that you can tap into. Purchasing a home can be a wise investment, as property values tend to appreciate over time. Instead of paying rent, you're building equity in an asset that could increase in value, providing potential financial security in the long run. 3. Tax Benefits: Homeownership comes with several tax benefits that can help reduce your tax burden. Deductions for mortgage interest, property taxes, and certain home improvements can result in significant savings on your annual tax bill, allowing you to keep more of your hard-earned money. 4. Community and Roots: Buying a home often means putting down roots in a community. Homeownership can foster a sense of belonging and connection to your neighborhood, schools, and local amenities. It provides an opportunity to become more involved in community activities and build relationships with neighbors, creating a strong sense of community and belonging. 5. Potential Rental income: Whether its short or long term rental. A home offers the potential option for additional income in your pocket. This can be a lucrative option, especially if your home is located in a popular tourist destination such as the BLA! 6. Space to Grow your Family: When you own a home, you have the freedom to personalize and customize your living space to suit your family growth dreams. Whether that family is made of kids, fur babies or both.
