About us
Neighbors writing for neighbors
Matters of the Home is a free weekly email for people who live in and love Central Florida. We send three editions, one each for Ocala, The Villages and Lake County, so what you read is about the place you actually live.
Why we started it
We love where we live, from the horse farms in Ocala to the town squares in The Villages to the lakes in Mount Dora. Matters of the Home is our way of sharing the places, people and events that make these communities special.
Every week we pick a few local events, a day trip, useful finance, health and home reads, and what's changing around town. We keep it short, because your time matters.
What we stand for
Local first
Each edition is built for its own county, with its own events and news.
Short and useful
A few good things, not everything. You can read it with your coffee.
Honest picks
We only suggest what we'd tell a neighbor about over the fence.
How we keep it free
Local sponsors and a few affiliate links pay for the newsletter. When you book or buy through some links on our site, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Our Affiliate Disclosure page explains how it works.
Say hello
Have a local event, a story idea or a question? We read every note.
