The Importance of Expressing Gratitude: Why Saying “Thank You” Matters More Than You Think

The holiday season is a time for giving thanks and expressing gratitude. It is a time to reflect on all the good things that have happened in our lives and to appreciate the people who have helped us along the way. This year, I am especially grateful for my health, my family, and my friends. I am also grateful for the lessons life has taught me, which have made me a better father, friend, and business person. I encourage you to take some time this holiday season to express your gratitude to those you love and care about. It will make them feel special, and it will make you feel good too!

I can’t forget Titans & Ashley…who bring me so much joy…

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

-Shawn & Amy

A True Treasure. A Seaside Retreat on Barnegat Bay.

If you remember the iconic movie "Somethings Got to Give" starring Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. This local Treasure located at 115 Curtis Point Drive, Mantoloking, NJ has some wonderful features from this classical movie. This home has been featured in Design New Jersey Magazine.

The owners had wonderful memories of their visits to seaside towns such as Nantucket and Newport, and asked the architectual team to incorporate coastal New England cottage details into the exterior. They also requested to create "a look of" but not copying one element of the Hampton Beach house featured in the movie. The new 7,681-square-foot structure — built to withstand storms with features such as brick and fiber-cement horizontal siding — has…

The Best Clubs to Join Down the Jersey Shore

Thinking of joining a yacht club? Here are some great options nearby to consider:

Bay Head Yacht Club

The Bay Head Yacht Club, founded in 1888, has been perhaps Bay Head’s finest establishment for quite some time now. From morning bridge groups to regattas, the club offers its members memorable experiences every week. The dining facilities and the food itself are certainly something special...for example, the once-a-week buffet-style lobster night will leave you dying to come back the next night. Other than boating and phenomenal food, the club offers its members tennis, bocce, and countless activity groups to join. The waiting list for membership at the Bay Head Yacht Club is usually a couple of years, but it is surely worth the wait.
