Want to Get to Know New Neighbors But You're Short on Time?

Tuesday June 16, 2009

After a move, it's often difficult to find the time to meet new neighbors. We're usually busy settling into new schools and jobs and unless we bump into them while taking the dog for a walk, we can live in an area for a long time without knowing who's living next door.

Since getting to know the people on your street is a great way to settle into an area, I came up with some easy tips to get to know the people on your block - tips that don't require a lot of time or energy. Exactly what we need when it feels like we'll never finish the unpacking!

How did you first meet your neighbor? Post a comment here - I'd love to add your thoughts and suggestions to our growing list of ideas!
