How to Beat the Winter Blues in Parker

Winter in Colorado is magical — until it’s not. Sure, the first snowfall is enchanting, but when the sun sets at 4:30 p.m., even the most devoted winter lovers can feel a little… blah. Here’s the secret to beating the winter blues: embrace what makes the season special instead of pining for spring. Stay active, try new things, and get out of the house (yes, even when it’s cold) – all of which can transform winter from something to endure into something to enjoy.

Ringing in the New Year!

Why do we “ring” in the New Year? Glad you asked. It seems communities used to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one by ringing bells, often in churches. The tradition may have grown out of other occasions where bells marked an end like a death, or celebrated a beginning, like a wedding. So there’s a rhyme and a reason to be giving 2025 a melodic, if metaphoric, adieu. And here are a slew of ways to do it for every aged reveler.

Best Time to Buy a New Home?

Parker, Colorado, a vibrant community located southeast of Denver, has grown rapidly in the last 30 years. It is known for a charming downtown, strong school system, and family-friendly atmosphere. Parker’s outlying residential developments attract buyers seeking new construction especially south of Hess Road. And the new build community of Looking Glass reflects both the region’s dynamic growth and its commitment to quality living. We spoke with Looking Glass resident Nick Rizzi, a real estate agent with Happy Homes in Colorado, for another look at the market right in his backyard.
