Hello Newtown and welcome to our blog, LifeinNewtown.com!  Recently, we took out a small classified ad in the real estate section of The Newtown Bee.  Our simple ad has just www.LifeinNewtown.com.  We feel that it is time to introduce our blog to Newtown.

We have been blogging about life in Newtown, CT since September 2008.  We have also sprinkled in relevant real estate information about our town.  Blog topics have ranged from Fairfield Hills to Short Sales.  We have just posted two homes we recently listed for sale and plan to soon post information about the Faith Food Pantry.

We'd like to bring the different sections of our blog to your attention.  They are pretty helpful for navigating our blog and are as follows:

• My Links:  We've added in links property specific websites we set up for the homes we have listed for sale, our website and our Twitter account.
• Search for Homes:  You can use this to search homes for sale in different parts of the country.  If you'd like to search homes for sale in Connecticut, we suggest using the multiple listing service (MLS) on our website.
• Categories:  This section breaks our blog posts out by category.  So if your are looking for information Canine Advocates or Riley the Real Estate Dog, check this section
• Blog Archives:  This shows the number of blog posts by month.  If you click on a month, you can see all the entries that were posted that month.
