During this time of year, many of us could use a gentle reminder… take a moment for all of the joys of the season. Put aside a few moments for you and your favorite hot beverage of choice (hot chocolate with extra marshmallows anyone???) Sit down, put your feet up and relax. If this post helped you to smile, or take an extra moment for yourself, feel free to share it with others.
Happy Holiday Season to each of you!
Have you been reading all of our blogs about ice skating recently, but perhaps you are a little unsure as to where to begin? Or maybe you have never ice skated before and are a little bit hesitant to try something new? Well here is a list for a few things to consider if you are a newbie on the ice. [Read more…]
When it’s cold outside, and the skies are gray, it’s easier to stay indoors.
However, ice skating can be a fantastic way to spend your winter weekends, especially in Baltimore, Maryland.
But where to ice skate in Baltimore? Luckily Baltimore, MD is a great city for ice skating. With many ice skating rink options, we decided to highlight a few of our favorites. Check out the best places to ice skate in Baltimore below. [Read more…]

We are very thankful for each of you!
Don’t Forget to Brush Up on Your Dinner Guest Manners Before the Big Day!
We’ll make this short and sweet so you can go about your holiday preparation. Many Hirschfeld families elect to host Thanksgiving dinner while some choose to be the guest. If you are the latter, here are a few quick tips to make you the star guest of the big Thanksgiving Day! Your host will notice and probably thank you or perhaps your host will even weep at your feet for your kindness and thoughtfulness. Thanksgiving is a big responsibility after all, and these steps will help you to make things easier on the host/hostess. [Read more…]
Every once in a while an opportunity presents itself for our Resident Appreciation Events that is too good to pass up. Our event this month is exactly that. Save the date for November 19, 2014 starting at 6:30 pm. We have invited renowned chef John Bove to join us here at Steeplechase and host a great Wine & Dine evening. Professional Chef John Bove will be providing demonstrations and cooking for this event – so dinner is on us. This amazing night has limited seating so please call us at 410-666-0199 to reserve your space today.
Chef Bove will be cooking his famous salmon & asparagus with his special wine glaze sauce. The dinner will be served with wine &/or sparkling cider and will be paired just right with the entree. Our chef will also be providing each of our dinner guests with a recipe & specific instructions on how to cook and prepare the dish on your own at home. You must be at least 21 years old to attend; so this evening is for adults only.
Don’t forget to reserve your seat as soon as possible. We’ll see you there!

The Month of November is a month spent preparing for the holidays with family and friends! It’s also meant to be a time for reflecting on all of the things we have to be thankful for. Often times we find ourselves more grateful, compassionate, and charitable than many other times of the year. So as we take a moment to reflect on the things we have to be grateful for, let’s join forces and also channel this compassion to bring thanks to those in need.
One of our team members at Steeplechase Apartment Homes in Cockeysville, MD had an opportunity to visit the Maryland School for the Blind back in September. In the month of September we worked to collect school supplies for this school as well. This school has over 200 students from elementary to 21 years of age. Some of the families of these students suffer immensely with not being able to supply their children with basic needs like food and clothing; some of the students do not even have families to try and provide these things for them. So they need our help! In light of this information and seeing a major need, we would like to hold a resident event that our residents in Maryland can participate in (this means you Eagles Walk, Ridge View, Steeplechase, & Tall Oaks Apartment Homes residents!) We will be collecting clothing and food items twice during the holiday season. The first drop off date will be Monday, November 19, 2014 & the second drop off date will be December 17, 2014!
Perhaps, now you are wondering – “How Can I Help?” We’ve written another article with a specific list of items they are in need of right now. Thank you in advance for all of your kindness & compassion. Together, we can make a big difference in the lives of these students and their families for this holiday season.
Our mission for November & December 2014 is to help the Maryland School for the Blind.
You can learn more about our efforts in our last post, “Let’s Give Back this Holiday Season to The Maryland School for the Blind,” or keep reading to learn the ways in which you can help. Our teams are collecting all types of used clothing items, as well as non-perishable food items.
Tall Oaks Apartment Homes in Laurel, MD is inviting our residents to join us tomorrow, October 30, 2014 from 7-9:30 pm for a combined Resident Information Session & Halloween Party. During the event we’ll be serving free pizza & candy and costumes are welcome! We’ll even be holding a costume contest for best costume!
Our team will be sharing safety tips, rules for Trick or Treating and also providing you an opportunity to meet some of your neighbors or visit with those you already know! So if you are a resident here at Tall Oaks Apartment Homes, come and join us! Please RSVP with us on Facebook so we know how much Pizza and Candy to have on hand!
Also, if you are unable to make it tomorrow please remember that Friday is Halloween and residents are welcome to trick or treat here. However, if you wish to not be disturbed by Trick or Treaters this Halloween, please put a sign on your door asking “Do Not Disturb.” If you are planning to Trick or Treat door-to-door on Friday please remember all Trick or Treating needs to be over by 8p.m.
See you tomorrow!
Our Eagles Walk Team on Lee National Denim Day! Thank you for your donations ladies!
Lee National Denim Day Sparks Collections in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness MonthIn honor of breast cancer awareness, our teams at Eagles Walk, Ridge View, Steeplechase, & Tall Oaks are collecting donations. The donation collections started on Lee National Denim Day here at Hirschfeld; where our staff was able to donate $5 in exchange for wearing jeans to work on October 3, 2014. Since breast cancer is something that affects so many of us we couldn’t think of a better way to spend our resident appreciation event this month than to give to such a great cause. If you would like to join us and make your own donation please stop by the leasing office as we will be accepting donations at our apartments homes in White Marsh (Eagles Walk & Ridge View,) Cockeysville (Steeplechase,) and Laurel, MD (Tall Oaks.) Thank you to all of those who have already donated, and thank you in advance to those of you who will be donating! Remember, all donations must be received by close of business on October 31, 2014.
On Friday September 19, 2014 the residents at Ridge View & Eagles Walk Apartment Homes in White Marsh, MD were invited to breakfast! Here at Hirschfeld we like to show our residents they are appreciated each and every month. In September we decided to invite our residents to join us for a FREE hot breakfast here in the clubhouse. The breakfast for this event included fresh scrambled eggs, delicious French toast, pancakes, hot sausage, potatoes, and fruit. The breakfast also included a variety of beverages; including coffee, and orange juice.
We had over 20 residents join in the festivities, with the French toast being the biggest hit! From what we could gather, the morning seemed to include some very happy residents, who were able to take some time for themselves and sit down to a hot breakfast. What could be better than a hot FREE breakfast served to you (no cooking or cleanup required) before heading out for the day? The team here at Eagles Walk hopes this breakfast helped to start your Friday morning off on the right foot. 🙂 Don’t forget to “Like Us” on Facebook to make sure you don’t miss our next FREE resident appreciation event.
Odds are you run in circles: work, friends, family…you know who you know. You love who you love. And those outside your circle are likely irrelevant to your life.
But consider the following quote: “Smile at strangers and you just might save a life,” words from a fellow named Steve Maraboli.
Steve has it right: one of the most important things we can do is help others, and that includes those we don’t know. Here are some creative ways to do just that. [Read more…]
Life is stressful. Life is hectic. Life is crazy, confusing, busy, non-stop, always going, always changing, often difficult, rarely easy.
Pick up the kids. Finish that big project at work. Pay your bills. Run an errand on your lunch break. It doesn’t seem to end, does it? But this trap of living that so many of us fall into – where we can’t find a second to remember what’s really important – can be reversed, with a little thought, care and effort.
Our next blog post will be about helping strangers, but today the focus is on what you can do to strengthen your interpersonal relationships with everyone from your closest friend to an old acquaintance.
So if you’re malnourished when it comes to food for the soul, read on and pick up 10 tips on connecting with the most important people in your life. These are acts of kindness, both big and small, that will brighten the galaxies of those around you. [Read more…]
