"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!" Psalm 100:4 (ESV)

Hello, November. As we step into a season of thanksgiving, I love that this verse shows us the way into God's presence. We don't come in with a list of what's missing. We come in with thanks.

Gratitude doesn't mean every part of life feels easy right now. It means we stop long enough to notice His faithfulness: the prayers He has already answered, the people He has placed around us, and the grace that meets us every morning.

So this week, let's begin each day with thanks.

How can I pray for you this week? Share below or send me a message, and I'll be praying.

Have a blessed Sunday, friends.

Kellie

Local Hidden Gem 🌿 Edward Medard Conservation Park

Just east of Brandon is one of my favorite slow-down spots: a 700-acre reservoir with a boardwalk, about 3 miles of nature trail, and a lookout tower over the water. 🦅

🎣 Fishing, canoe/kayak rentals and camping 🥾 Easy trail for an early morning walk (bring bug spray!) 💵 Just $2 per vehicle

Perfect fall weekend for a picnic with the family. Heads up: the boat ramp is closed right now for a reservoir drawdown, so check hcfl.gov before you go.

📍 6140 Turkey Creek Rd, Plant City

Living near spots like this is one of the best parts of life in Brandon, Valrico and Lithia. Want to see homes close by? Let's chat! 📲 813-928-6198

Seller Tip Wednesday 🦎

Good news: the lizards came with the deed. You can't evict the anoles, so just sweep up the evidence. 😂

Florida curb appeal in 4 easy steps: ✨ Pressure wash the driveway, walkways and lanai 🌴 Fresh mulch + trimmed palms, plus a couple of bright pots by the door 🚪 Love the front door: paint, hardware, a new mat, and a porch light that works 🕸️ Patch the lanai screens. A torn screen is how buyers meet mosquitoes.

Buyers decide how they feel about a house before they ever open the door. Let's make that first impression a good one!

Go Dawgs! No game today, so it's game day at home.

The Dawgs have a bye this Saturday, which means a little extra time to rest up before Georgia and Florida meet in Atlanta next weekend. Couch, snacks, red and black, ready to go.

Honestly, the best seat in the house is your own. And if your current house isn't quite the game-day home you want (more room for the crowd, a bigger living room, a backyard made for tailgating), I'd love to help you find it here in Tampa Bay.

Fellow Dawgs fans in Brandon and Tampa Bay, sound off below.

Plant City roots, Tampa Bay home.

Hi, I'm Kellie! If we haven't met yet, here's a little about me.

I'm a Plant City native, and I grew up learning that hard work, showing up, and treating people right matter.

My business is faith-led. I genuinely care about the people I serve, and I treat every move like it's my own family's.

I've spent over a decade in Tampa Bay real estate, helping families buy and sell homes across Brandon, Valrico, Lithia, and beyond.

At home, I'm a wife to Bobby, mother of two, and a proud MiMi. I'm so grateful for the blessings God has given me, and for every client who trusts me with their next chapter.

Thinking about selling? I wrote a free (slightly ridiculous, totally useful) Quirky Seller's Guide to selling in Brandon, Valrico, and Lithia: pricing, curb appeal, the mysterious 4-point inspection, and buyers who open every closet.

Comment GUIDE and I'll send it to you, or tap the link in bio to read it on my blog.

Local Know-How Thursday: mosquito spraying in Hillsborough 🦟🏡

Seen a county truck rolling through after dark, or heard a helicopter overhead? That's Hillsborough County Mosquito Management Services. Here's what's good to know:

🌙 Adult mosquito treatments are usually done after sunset and finished before sunrise, by truck or by air. (During times of higher disease risk, like right now with dengue, you may see daytime flights too.)
🗺️ The county's Mosquito Spraying Map shows planned treatments and any done in the past 28 days.
📲 Sign up for spray alerts by email or text through HCFL Alert. Because decisions are made from same-day surveillance data, notice is sometimes only a few hours.
🏠 Want to limit exposure? Stay inside with windows closed while they spray, and bring pets and their food and water bowls indoors.
💧 The best tip is free: dump standing water around your yard. Check buckets, toys, flowerpots, gutters, and pool covers, and empty birdbaths and pet bowls at least twice a week.

Need a property inspection, or think your neighborhood should be treated? Use the county's Report Mosquito Related Issues form. (Heads up: the county says it's pausing routine requests during its dengue response.)

🔗 Map + alerts: hcfl.gov/residents/property-owners-and-renters/mosquito-control/mosquito-spraying
📞 Mosquito Management Services: (813) 635-5400

Plans change with weather and conditions, so check hcfl.gov for the latest schedule. Stay itch-free, neighbors! 💛

Seller Tip Wednesday: the 15-Minute Tornado Drill 🌪️🏡

"Can we see it in 30 minutes?" Every seller gets that text eventually. Here's your game plan:

1️⃣ Grab your "showing basket." Toss in the clutter, put it in the car, and go. 2️⃣ Cool the house down. A sweaty buyer is a grumpy buyer. ❄️ 3️⃣ Go easy on the scents. "Clean" beats "Tropical Mango Explosion." 🥭 4️⃣ Lock up valuables and medications, and take the pets with you. 5️⃣ Leave! Buyers can't open your closets in peace while you're narrating. 😅

This is one chapter of my Quirky Seller's Guide, a choose-your-own-adventure guide to selling in Brandon, Valrico, and Lithia. It's on my blog, so comment GUIDE and I'll send it your way, or tap the link in bio.

It's Romeo Tuesday! 🐾✨

His Royal Fluffiness has claimed the coziest spot in the house, right by the fireplace. (Fall in Florida means we finally get to pretend it's chilly. 😄)

Romeo's pet-friendly house-hunting tips 🏡: 🌿 A fenced yard (or a dog park close by) for zoomies 🪵 Paw-proof floors like tile or LVP that hold up to little claws and the occasional accident 📋 HOA pet rules (size, breed, and number limits) checked BEFORE you fall in love with a house 🐶 For long-backed pups like Romeo, fewer stairs is a big plus

Shopping for a home where your fur baby can thrive too? I'd love to help. Drop a photo of your pup in the comments. Romeo wants to meet everybody! 👇
