Holiday Events Around The Low Country
Our vibrant local community loves to celebrate the festive period with a wide range of family-friendly holiday events of an exceptional quality. As you can imagine, it’s been hard for us to narrow down the events that are taking place to make recommendations, but here are 4 that are more than worthy of being added to your calendar.
Let’s get started.
The Journey
Compassion Christmas Church, 55 Al Henderson Blvd.
November 30th – December 16th
If you’re only going to go to one holiday event this year, we recommend that The Journey is at the very top of your list. As the name suggests, it’s an expertly produced recreation of “The Journey” that Mary and Joseph made on the very first Christmas to give birth to Jesus Christ. You’ll be transported 2000 years back in time as you wander around the streets of ancient Bethlehem, you’ll come face to face with King Herod, and you’ll follow shep; ...

The holidays are coming, and it’s around this time of year that we start thinking about the gifts we are going to be giving to our friends, family, and co-workers. When shopping this holiday season don't forget to shop local!
There’s undoubtedly something special about giving a local product as a gift. They have a more personable nature to them compared to something that’s mass-produced on the other side of the world.
We’re blessed to have several excellent local businesses that offer products and services that make perfect gifts for this time of year. Here’s what we think are the top 5 local places for Holiday gifts in Pooler.
Let’s get started!
1. Byrd Cookie Company
6700 Waters Ave
Byrd Cookie Company is a family owned and operated bakery that produces some of the tastiest cookies in the entire state (or in our opinion, perhaps the entire country). There’s such a huge selection of weird and wonderful cookie combinations on ! ...

Home automation is still in its infancy, and as the name suggests the concept revolves around computerizing and networking different items, fixtures, and fittings in your property. This turns your home into what is commonly referred to as a smart home.
If you’re technically minded there’s a wide range of weird and wonderful projects you can undertake to turn your “home” into a smart home. However, the exciting thing is that we’ve now reached a stage where you can benefit from home automation without needing an advanced computing degree to set the systems up.
With that in mind, here are some of the latest advancements in smart home tech that anyone can integrate into everyday life.
Virtual Digital Assistants
There’s been an explosion in the popularity of virtual digital assistants in the past few years. Amazon’s Alexa is probably the most well-known product in this category, but Google’s “Google Home” is rapidly gaining mar! ...

One of the things that attract so many families to Pooler and the Greater Savannah area is the huge amount of family-friendly activities that are on offer here. We’re blessed with a wide range of places, businesses, events, and other fun activities that local children (and visiting relatives) love to spend their days enjoying.
Here’s a quick list of what we think are 3 of the best fun activities for kids in and around the Pooler area.
Let’s get started.
1) Tom Triplett Community Park
Tom Triplett Community Park is one of the best ways for you and the kids to enjoy some of the glorious weather our area is blessed with. The park itself is reasonably large, and it’s very well maintained by the diligent groundskeepers who work hard to keep the space in tip-top condition.
While there’s a wide range of things to do at the park, the beautiful large lake here is undoubtedly the star of the show. There’s a well-paved path that circumnavigates the lake t! ...

Flipping properties has never been more popular, and more and more people each year are looking into the relatively quick (and large) returns that this method of investment can provide. However, as with most things, there’s a little more to property flipping than first meets the eye. Here are a few obvious (and not so obvious) hints, tips, and tricks that you should take into account when thinking about flipping a property.
1.) Walk Before You Can Run
It can be tempting to go after a huge project when you first start flipping properties. The huge potential returns that are available on large renovations can be enough to entice even the most cautious of investors into a project that’s a little too big for a first-time flipper.
Start with a modest project first. By doing this you’ll be exposing yourself to less risk, and the entire process will be a much gentler learning experience (which will give you a solid knowledge base for a larger second or third project ; ...
