Thankful for Chubs Hilarious Mouth Three days into a five day Thanksgiving vacation over here. We’re constantly breaking new records in this house. For example, the girls have gone from love to hate to love to hate about 453 times in the last 72 hours. I started a list of Chubs-one-liners because some hilarious stuff […]

November 26, 201939th on 39th You know that person who announces, “I’m going to make this happen,” where “this” is something massively outrageous? And everyone makes fun of this person, saying, “Yeah right, no way that will ever fly.” Well, that’s what all the Glover Park Moms thought when Drunken Santa announced on our group text last […]

November 15, 2019Glover Park Neighborhood Tour Where you live is important. I don’t just mean what kind of house you live in, but location, location, location! Today, I’m going to talk about a little gem of a DC neighborhood – Glover Park. There are a lot of great reasons why Glover Park is so sought after, and […]

November 14, 2019When the Doctor Becomes the Patient I’m buying an investment property today. I won’t be at the closing because it’s in another city. One of my long time besties is showing up to be my Power of Attorney where she will sign my name to a bunch of loan documents. She was like, “You’re doing […]

October 29, 2019Contract Blew Up For A Myriad Of Reasons Late last week, a contract blew up for a myriad of reasons. I busted my ass to keep this thing together but ultimately, when the parties seem to have less motivation to complete the transaction than I do, it’s useless. I help people find houses. I can’t […]
Read MoreHow Many Times Will I Say “Class Mom” In This Post?
October 07, 2019Volunteered As Class Mom Another weekend down for the real estate family. I volunteered to be Class Mom for both Princess Roundhead’s 2nd grade and Chubs’s Kindergarten. The good part is that I’m co-class mom for both classes with my mom-friends. That makes it much more tolerable. The bad news (for my co-class-moms) is that […]

September 09, 2019Houses In All The Towns I often have mom-moments when I’m incredibly proud of something the girls do or say. It’s fascinating to see their little personalities come out and for them to have certain reactions and responses to things that happen in their lives without my prompting. Chubs is still on a meat strike […]

August 26, 2019Family Pets and Other Animal Stories Well, even though they live at the beach, it seems that when hermit crabs are out in the sun, in the new glass aquarium you bought for them, they can roast and die pretty quickly. If you haven’t fallen into a coma reading about our summer of crab mishaps, […]

August 16, 2019Meet Our New Family Pets Okay, just like the hermit crab races that occur at our house now, let’s get this story to the finish line. After we came home with the three hermit crabs, Woody, Violet2 and Sandy, we resumed vacation-life. If we wanted to go to the rides and games though, we had […]
