I can’t believe that my oldest child is officially in high school. People used to say that kids grow up in the blink of an eye. I hated when people said that because the days seemed incredibly long. But they were right. It flew by. Week one at Asheville High has gotten off to a …
It’s that time of year again. My family has a multi-generational event we have named “Cousin Float” that occurs on a steamy summer afternoon every year. Cousins from Pittsburgh, Chicago, Johnson City, and Hickory come to Asheville for an afternoon of barbecue and floating down the French Broad river. We have the best time talking …
I spy my old house. One of my former neighbors has enlisted me to sell their adorable bungalow in North Asheville. It made me so happy that they trusted me with their adorable home. Last weekend, my daughter and I went back to the old neighborhood and chatted with some of our old friends. We …
It is kind of funny that I love to swim but my dog hates it. When we rescued Jack from Brother Wolf in Asheville, I was told he was “part lab”. Apparently, we got the non-swimming part. He is an excellent lifeguard. He is always on high alert when anyone is in the water. This …
On a hot summer day, I drove my son and his buddy to Dupont Forest to play in the waterfalls. It is a short hike from the parking lot and brought hours of entertainment. The scenery is gorgeous and even Hollywood noticed. According to my child, this particular waterfall was in the move “The Hunger …
It has been a minute since I last blogged. As the temperature rises in Asheville (and Coeur d’Alene but that is a different story) so has the real estate market. I am seeing more Open Houses, Broker Opens and all around activity as people are making their way to Asheville to enjoy the laid back …
The real estate market in Asheville is on fire. This week I have 2 new listings that went live and I must say, they are both fabulous. Plenty of space and trees galore. I am still able to sneak in a bit of Ironman training between marketing and showings. It may not be my best …
My girlfriends and I took a little weekend trip to NYC. I had 3 closings the week before we left so I was excited to have a little down time. Our trip was fantastic. We went for a 10 mile steamy Central Park run on Saturday and 6 along the Hudson on Sunday. In between …
Mother’s Day was super exciting. My family and friends went to Cataloochee camping. I must say that I enjoy camping with people that know how to camp. My nights of eating doritos for dinner and sitting out in the rain are over. Cataloochee is about an hours drive west of Asheville not far from the …
I couldn’t train for an Ironman or pretty much function without my fabulous group of girlfriends. As a social person, mixing workouts with time to catch up and chat, is a highlight. I am fortunate that so many women in Asheville are also into running, cycling and triathlons. There is rarely a time that I …
