Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving from our Homes to Yours!

by Nancy Heim-berg

As the golden leaves of fall give way to the crisp chill of November, we are reminded of all the blessings that make life in Omaha, Nebraska, truly special. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what matters most—our community, friends, family, and the spirit of giving that brings us all together.

 

Omaha isn't just where we live; it's where we thrive. From the bustling neighborhoods of Dundee to the serene charm of Elkhorn, our community is rich with warmth and connection. It's in the smiles we share at the local coffee shop, the waves to neighbors on a morning walk and the vibrant energy of our local events. This season, we are grateful to call Omaha home and to serve such a lively and caring community.

 

Thanksgiving reminds us to pause and cherish the relationships that enrich our lives. Whether it's gathering around the dinner table or catching up with loved ones far and near, the bonds we share with friends and family are the cornerstone of our happiness. Here at The Heim-Berg Team, we think of our clients as part of our extended family, and we're so grateful for the trust and friendships we've built over the years.

 

Thanksgiving is also a time to lend a helping hand. Omaha's strong sense of community inspires us to give back meaningfully. Whether it's supporting local food drives, volunteering at shelters, or simply showing kindness to a neighbor in need, we are proud to be part of a community that takes care of its own. This season, we encourage everyone to find a way to make a difference, big or small—it all matters.

 

To our cherished clients: We've been deeply honored each time you've welcomed us into your lives to help navigate one of life's biggest decisions. Whether guiding you through purchasing your first home, helping you sell a beloved family property, or finding the perfect space for your growing family, these moments have created meaningful connections that extend far beyond closing day. Your trust in The Heim-Berg Team has been our greatest reward, and we're profoundly grateful that so many of our client relationships have blossomed into lasting friendships. Your referrals and continued support have built our business and our community here in Omaha.

 

From all of us at The Heim-Berg Team, we want to wish you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed Thanksgiving. May your homes be filled with love, laughter, and the aroma of delicious food. Thank you for letting us be part of your lives and for making what we do so rewarding.

 

Here's to celebrating the season of gratitude, together. Happy Thanksgiving, Omaha!

Warm regards,

The Heim-Berg Team

Should You Order Thanksgiving Dinner This Year?

by Nancy Heim-berg
We all know the holidays can be stressful with family & friends coming to your house and the pressure of everyone’s expectations. Let’s talk about something serious: How are your cooking skills?  Are they so bad that your smoke detector doubles as a timer? Was your turkey so dry last Thanksgiving that your husband took it to the football game as jerky? Have your kids ever let you forget the "great cranberry sauce incident" of 2020?
 
Maybe you should throw in the towel this year. You have enough stress with the 60-hour workweeks, running the kids to their events, community volunteering, keeping the house up, and that cousin who invites half of Omaha to your house. If your unique cooking skills include burning water, you may want to take the stress-free path by ordering a pre-made Thanksgiving dinner.
 
Consider Stopping Kitchen Roulette
Your oven has trust issues (I bet the feeling's mutual)
Twenty-one people are coming over for dinner (Think, when did you become so popular?)
If the last time you made stuffing, you gave it to a contractor for building material, then it's time.

A bit of advice: Order a week or more before Thanksgiving. As it turns out, you are not the only one in Omaha challenged by poultry.
What About the Cost
Yes, pre-made dinners cost more than cooking yourself. But you need to factor in:
Post Thanksgiving Therapy costs
Cost of a new Fire extinguisher
Pizza or Chinese delivery after crisping the turkey
 
All things considered, the pre-made meal may be a bargain! There's no shame in choosing sanity over stubbornness. Nevertheless, make sure you practice your "Oh, this? I just threw it together" speech for Thanksgiving Day.
 
Lastly, remember to order earlier. We can't all show up at Whole Foods on Thanksgiving morning, claiming we "forgot" to thaw the turkey.

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
 

Happy Thanksgiving!

by Nancy Heim-berg

“For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped,

For the labor well done, and the barns that are heaped,

For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb,

For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home-

Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!

 

For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land,

For the cunning and strength of the workingman’s hand,

For the good that our artists and poets have taught,

For the friendship that hope and affection have brought-

Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!

 

For the homes that with purest affection are blest,

For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest,

For our country extending from sea unto sea;

The land that is known as the “Land of the Free”-

Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!

 

Wishing you a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. May we all count the many blessings in our lives and live our lives with gratitude each and every day.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 

Happy Thanksgiving From The Heim-Berg Team!

by Nancy Heim-berg

Happy Thanksgiving From The Heim-Berg Team! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! 

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, you may find yourself busy running around with last minute errands and never ending shopping lists. And while this holiday is traditionally centered around hearty food, football and gathering with friends and family, it’s also a time that people reflect on the many blessings that fill their days throughout the year and all they are grateful for. 

Keeping with the theme and essence of the holiday, today’s blog post is dedicated to ways in which you can show gratitude each day to keep the Thanksgiving spirt alive throughout the year. Especially with the challenges that the last few years have brought, the world would benefit from all the joy and light you bring.

-Be thoughtful of others by considering their feelings with every word spoken and action taken.

-Be gracious when someone challenges your words, actions or views and respectfully listen to their point of view.

-Be patient with others as everyone is fighting their own battles that you may know nothing about. 

-Share in other people’s joys and victories as if they were your own. 

-Take a few moments each night to write down little things that happened in your day that you are grateful for. This is a great activity to find and highlight the good things in your life, no matter how small. 

 
From everyone here at the Heim-Berg Team, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are so grateful for each of our wonderful clients and appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

by Nancy Heim-berg

Heim-berg Omaha Thanksgiving 2019When you think of the Thanksgiving holiday what comes to mind? Probably warm, hearty food, a table filled with festive centerpieces, a football game or two and spending time with those you love most. The holiday is also traditionally a time for people to reflect on what they are grateful for and all the blessings that fill their lives throughout the year. 

As defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, gratitude is ‘the state of being grateful, thankfulness.’ In the spirit of the holiday, we wanted to dedicate today’s blog post on ways to show gratitude in your day to day lives in hopes to keep the Thanksgiving spirit alive throughout the year. 

-Be thoughtful of others by considering their feelings with every word spoken and action taken.
-Let someone know exactly how you feel by giving a detailed example of appreciation.
-When interacting with others, make eye contact to show you are present in the conversation and engaged with what they are saying.
-Be gracious when someone challenges your words, actions or views and respectfully listen to their point of view.
-Share in other people’s joys and victories as if they were your own. 
-Be patient with others as everyone is fighting their own battles that you may know nothing about. 
-Take a few moments each night to write down little things that happened in your day that you are grateful/thankful for. This is a great activity to find and highlight the good things in your life, no matter how small.
 

From everyone here at the Heim-Berg Team, we wanted to say how grateful we are for each of our wonderful clients and say ‘thank you’ for allowing us to serve you. We also want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with delicious food and beautiful memories for you to cherish always. See you next week!
