About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in Chattanooga. I attended UTC and graduated with a degree in Interior Design. Design and Architecture were my passions. I had planned to move to a BIG city to pursue my dream of working as a Designer, but ended up staying in Chattanooga to be with my "soon to be hubby" at the time. I took a job in the Insurance Industry (far fetched...I know) and actually LOVED it. Once our son was born, I left insurance and ended up staying home. Eventually, I followed my heart and jumped head first into Real Estate. This was my chance to work one on one with my clients to show them the potential of their dream home. Real Estate...this is my calling. I am blessed with a wonderful city to work in, a great husband who supports my dream, and a busy little boy who keeps me on my toes. So, if you are looking to buy or sell, I hope you'll give me a call. This homegrown girl would love to work with you!!!

BIG Impact Home Projects

Updating your garden is a great way to make a BIG change, plus it's the perfect excuse to get outside and enjoy the cooler weather. Consider clearing out your flowerbeds and replacing tired perrenials with fresh foliage. This is also a great time to start planning where you'll put down bulbs for the Spring. You still have a month to to successfully plant trees, which can have a long term impact on your home's appearance. For those of you withe less time, a few custom flowerboxes or hanging baskets will be a welcoming site for your new visitors.

Did You Know?

Being a Realtor, a Wife, a Mother...I am always on the lookout for great deals and exciting things happening around Chattanooga. However, while contemplating what to write about this morning, it occured to me that October 3rd-9th is Fire Safety Week. I know as an adult, you may not think to much about your "FIRE PLAN". As a mother and an agent, I want to make sure that my family and my clients are safe. So, today I am sharing some tips with you that you can practice at home with your family.

1. PRACTICE REGULARY:At least twice annually, hold an in home fire drill.
2. WALK THROUGH YOUR HOME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY:Know ALL the exits and escape routes.
3. MAKE YOUR DRILL AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE:Pretend flames are blocking an exit.
4. AGREE ON A MEETING PLACE: Choose a landmark that will be easy for everyone to find. Something as simple as a mailbox.
5. TEACH KIDS THEIR HOME ADDRESS:Practice it with them until they can state it clearly.
6. SHOW KIDS WHAT A SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS LIKE:Remind them of what they should do when they hear it.
7. TELL YOUR FAMILY TO CLOSE DOORS BEHIND THEM ON THE WAY OUT:This tip will help to slow the spread of fire.
8. TELL KIDS HOW TO AVOID SMOKE WHEN ESCAPING:Teach them to bend over or crawl to get under the smoke.
9. EMPHASIZE THE RULE: ONCE YOU ARE OUT STAY OUT! Make sure everyone understands that you never enter the home again for anything. Toys and clothes can be replaced!
10. DRAW A FLOORPLAN OF YOUR HOME:Note all the doors, windows and escape routes. Visit www.NFPA.org for an "escape planning grid".

As always, be safe and protected.

Banana Ball October 8, 2010 at the Chattanooga Zoo

https://chattanooga-zoo.ticketleap.net/banana-ball-2010-10-08-2010-20-0


Are you a supporter of the Chattanooga Zoo? I must say that this is one of the best investments that I have ever made for my family. It's such a great place to visit. When I tell people about the Chattanooga Zoo, some seem amazed. It has come such a long way since I was a child. I encourage you to become a supporter of the Zoo or just take a day to pay this place a visit. You will be impressed!!!

Do You Like Costco As Much As I Do?

I can’t even begin to tell you how many times my mother and I have piled into her Suburban and stocked it full of coolers, icepacks, and boxes…and hit the road. We would head south towards Kennasaw to hit the Costco MegaMart. We would be prepared for a full day of shopping and spending money. We had mastered the skill of shopping. We had our list of perishable and non-perishable and would get moving. The non-perishable shopping started first followed by a very meticulous packing project in the rear of the vehicle. The final run of perishable shopping entailed the very systematic packing project in the coolers. At the end of the shopping day, we were spent, the Costco Card was worn out, and we felt fulfilled. We began the trek back to Chattanooga stocked up on multiple packages of ziploc bags, mega size bottles of Olive Oil, and every other item we couldn’t live without.

So, it’s with great excitement that I post this link. No longer will we have to drive two hours each way to purchase those giant bottles of Olive Oil, we will just cross over the GA Line. I can’t wait!!! The countdown has begun.
